Random musings and general banter.

Heard that Tim Goodwin was fired, after he last minute covered a hour for Julian Ballantyne, and he said something to Julian he shouldn’t have.

Not sure if that’s true, but I remember reading it

QVC used to take tech a lot more seriously and present it more frequently. Tim Goodwin (the previous tech presenter) almost sold in the form of a tutorial than a sound byte laden, rushed through presentation like today's incumbent offers. Dumbed down best describes their technology output these days. But that just reflects society in general these days. If it doesn't affect YOU directly, YOU couldn't care less.

QVC used to feature Apple Macs, and a lot of HP stuff with HP experts from the company themselves. Lots of Lenovo tablets, laptops, desktops, scanners, printers, fax machines etc. Plus software packages. Nowadays it is just relentless Alexa and Epson in the main.

Oh how true Duke. Tim Goodwin really knew his stuff as did LJ Rich the lady that also did tech on QVC. Danny who worked for HP was also knowledgeable and informative. In fact I bought my first HP computer based on his presentation (not from QVC but John Lewis) .

Lee Hohbein is a very weak replacement. He was on last night with the Epson Ecotank printer. Yes it’s nice to know the inks are cheaper, but I’d like to see where you load the paper, is the paper top loaded or in a bottom drawer, what speed does it print, what’s the maximum gsm paperweight it’ll take even how long the power cable is?! No we get shown the same old photos he’s printed.

No doubt he’ll be back soon with an Alexa offering. Dropping in on his mother, telling us about an odd few apps, showing same photos. If he sold cars, he’d probably emphasise the colour, size of wheel trims, size of boot, without giving any actual technical specifics.

Rant over!

IW have never made it sound like they ever went. I’m sure they want viewers to think, they went on a Summer Holiday

Did they suggest they had gone on Summer Holiday with Cliff Richard?

 

[Battiola73]

I agree about the Tech.

Yiannis and some Actor selling Watches now

I thought they’d borrowed a couple of waxworks from Madame Tussaud.

Such a comfort culture of lying exists there, I think they probably don’t even realise they’re doing it any longer.

I think it's a bit like certain politicians. Say one lie and it may be challenged. Say 20 lies in an hour and nobody seems to do anything, it's almost like it just washes over us.

 

[HughTwo]

yes, Jannis telling us what a prestigious brand Swan & Edgar are! A limited edition.
They're surely right up there with Duchump

Notice a lot of pre-order dates on stuff. Sounds like they're just drop-shipping - not actually buying items

I think I remember reading that too.

Haha

After my text yesterday the kids have made up the silliest fake text yet.

 

[galesgal57]

Hammy! Did you say a 99.99 Swan and Edgar watch was an object of perpetual desire? According to Torchy you did. If you did, hope you were taking the piss.

 

[Muttley]

You said "such a wonder of adornment that draws the eye in perpetual desire. An object of beauty"

Update, galesgal57 got there before me!

Not me, has the sounds of someone that has been drinking the Duchump kool aid.

I wonder who made that up, didn't realise the kids in the gallery knew such big words. I think they are the ones taking the piss.

Must be on the radar again cause i texted in on the Duchump show on Friday commenting on the bullshit they were spouting.

Kids obviously thought they were being clever with this fake text.

What would be a wonder is if they ever read out a text that was ACTUALLY from me. Won't hold my breath though as they ain't professional or grown up enough to do such an honest thing.

I wonder if the gallery know they're committing fraud? I hope they can trace this message to a phone number that isn't one of theirs or their friends or family.

Just in case someone with too much time on their hands chooses to take this further. I'm sure the company wouldn't like to be investigated. You never know what might be found.

I had texts made up in my real name on there once, after sending in a genuine text.

I’m seen by all medical people, as a Vunerable Adult, but they clearly don’t give a damn

 

[Jazzydrury]

Going by how we chat on here, I think most of us, aren’t in the best of health I maybe wrong.

They don’t realise how much harm they could be causing. Think it’s got a point it’s clear a lot of this, Is down to the children in the gallery, who maybe should be munching on there Happy Meal, than working on a shopping channel

Yiannis the Yawn (perfect choice for selling bedding) says that the bamboo memory pillows mould to the shape of  his head.

Well, I'm sorry but I do not want Yiannis' head on my pillow thank you very much.

I shan't be buying.

 

[Jazzydrury]

Yiannis was as beige as hell on Create and Craft, but nothing like he is on IW

 

[galesgal57]

Emma, Joanne and Jeremy for the rest of the day. No thanks. North London derby and the cricket for me.

 

[Jazzydrury]

Just turned onto Create, and I heard screech from Den, I’m gonna watch sport or something
