Random musings and general banter.

Clairity Craft posted on Facebook something along the lines that the lights are out on C&C this weekend. Their shows will know be broadcast on the Clarity website instead. Stephanie Weightman showing theirs on their website and Instagram and Highlight crafts posted all orders placed with C&C will be fulfilled. Not looking good.

This is the biggest enemy of craft shopping TV in the modern day. 'Broadcasting' equipment has become so capable and miniaturisable that it's possible to set up a basic video and audio situation with minimal spend and products you can buy on Amazon. You can get into a website and social media with a computer and a couple of actually quite inexpensive cameras, and how much you spend depends on how good you want it to look. You can start at £1000 outlay compared to a fully fledged TV studio which could start at £250K for example but you'd want someone to staff it if you don't know what you're doing.

That circumvents the excessive margins these channels will ask for so you can return your investment fairly quickly if you have sales volume and can fulfil yourself.

Is that a euphemism? I’m gonna have nightmares now thinking about his ‘slot’

Aka his catflap or back door

They are mens, really stylish, checked material. I see you more in an ostrich feather trimmed mule.

Definitely, you know me so well

Pedro on, but the picture is unwatchable. He's got collagen, foot detox patches and the walking canes. Starting off with the ****** batteries. Why bother, same old crap over and over again. Picture is pixelating like crazy.

Unplug sky box for a couple of minutes, then plug back in then wait a few minutes and turn sky box on and it's back to normal.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Normal as in appallingly terrible but frighteningly visible.

Why does he make Homesmart seem a leading brand.

Just say this is a own brand maybe second vac

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Have they ever had a so called decent higher priced product brand on there? Some discontinued Rug Doctor Mop is the only one I can ever recall?

2 mins via the app:

'ave a corded cr@p vacuum with low power and smaller capacity, because you don't want to worry about the battery charge of your cordless.
Power where you want it, on the stairs, landing.

Except of course you'll have to plug it in and hope the cord is long enough and doesn't get in the way.

The old corded good, cordless bad.

Until cordless good, corded bad.

Just say it's a good 2nd vac for upstairs maybe and if you need to dona portable crevice, crack or two. Fnarr.

Just wondering what would happen if you wore these Detox Foot Patches (which remove toxic metals from your body) with your Copper compression socks?! Would they suck all the copper out of the socks too??

Detox? What a lot of crock!

Anything labelled detox is snake oil, imho.

On the skin it might extract something from the skin but your body excretes anything unwanted.

And anything taken orally, is just processed by the acids in the stomach and either absorbed as vitamins, sugars, fat, protein or processed and discarded by our waste system.

All these detox patches, teas, tablets, drinks are useless.

We are what we eat, but we can't eat something to lose and cleanse something, unless it gives us dehydration or, err, worse.

Eating collagen supplements is also highly questionable as to whether our digestive system can process and absorb it.

Well, that's not what Peter's been saying for the last hour! It can all be sucked out through your feet with just a patch. The patches are also made by the emu balm people to add extra credibility. Not sure what more proof we need!
