Random musings and general banter.

Wanderer, you beat me to it. Is it me or does she look more shiny tonight?

And she needs to cut down on the lip gloss, it's doing her no favours and draws our attention to them.

If they need an intro for Nat......

There is so much reflection I can't see whats on the screen.

If I squint or cover the left side of the screen it improves the picture no end.

Has to be said the "guest" looks quite normal and the only shine from her is jewellery, specs and nails.

 

[Wanderer]

My god, still going on with the same product that she started with just after 10pm.

My mum used to put a couple of hot water bottles in my bed for a while before me getting in. Always had plenty of blankets on the bed, and they were tucked in tightly to keep the heat in. I loved trying a duvet for the first time when I was much older, it felt so luxurious.

I went on holiday to the Swiss Alps with some friends back in the 60s. We had duvets on the beds, first time we’d seen them. We thought they were sleeping bags so undid the ties and got inside. One of the chalet maids couldn’t contain her laughter and put us right how to use them.

They used to call them continental quilts when they first came out, didn’t they? I remember with one of my first wage packets from the early 1980s, I went to somewhere like Timothy Whites and bought one in a large cardboard box. Having only ever slept under blankets and sheets before then, I couldn’t believe how warm and enveloping it was. Also couldn’t believe how warm the flat became when the Council fitted central heating for the block a year or two earlier. What we accept as bog standard today, that we would have marvelled at not that many years previous.

Is Jacks on a different contract from the rest? One that allows her to pick and choose which items she sells or doesn't sell? For example - I have never seen her sell kitchen or electrical gadgets or canes on this version? Just ‘Fashion’ and beauty aids from time to time.

You are right, don’t think she’s ever done a taf hour.

I suppose she joined TJC before they acquired IW name, so maybe she was enlisted to aid with the fashion, health & beauty side of things rather than a general dog's body presenter.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Agreed. That said, she pretty much did what she liked on the previous versions, as I recall.

 

[Battiola73]

All the presenters seem to do what they want, say what they like, sell what they like and lie like they like. No managerial control whatsoever. A state of anarchy.

It’s got so effing awful, I can’t watch it.

 

[Jazzydrury]

You never see Gen do normal stuff either

 

[Jazzydrury]

Pedro joined TJC also though

 

[Jazzydrury]

If Create and Craft folded, I wonder if we will see another presenter shake up for IW

 

[Jazzydrury]

Jacks is on selling Christmas Crap

You can do the same with Sky Sports on occasion.

It's only a few tracks, it hasn't identified Peter Simon's walk on music yet. Not sure it will either.

Becque seems an intelligent deep-thinker type in his external motivational life coach role. The wurring, double entendres ridden buffoon part he plays on shopping television is just that - a role…If I was getting £1000 or so for a couple of hours work, I would be as wurring, beeping, seedy and ridiculous as they wanted me to be. Like the rest of them - they are pretending to be what they are really not for money most people like us could only dream of.

Completely agree with you DOC.
I wouldn't want to adopt those tactics but they obviously assume that they work.
Strange noises aside, I actually find Becque to be the least annoying of the current (at least in small doses perhaps) presenters . Slime bag Jeremy definitely the worst for me.

am I the only one on here who actually fancied Jeremy Edwards

In the mid 2000s? Everyone.
In the mid 2020s? Just Chrissie D'Chomp.
