Random musings and general banter.

I wonder how many people record programmes and when watching zap through the adverts. I know I do. Some of the adverts are so obscure I don’t know what they’re advertising. The only person that influences me to buy anything is me!

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who hasn't got a clue what some of the adverts are promoting. Rather defeats the object.

In all seriousness, I have yet to see anyone else on shopping television so obsessed with materialism extended to their own personal lives, and then shared with the viewers annoyingly regularly. Who cares what brand of clothes she wears, what trainers her son has, what ostentatious decorations they are putting in their garden for Christmas etc. etc. etc. God, I would swop all the possessions I have to have those I have lost back in my life once again. She is younger than me and hopefully she’ll learn along the way. Learn that fancy material things are completely meaningless compared to being loved and giving love. When that has gone, life has gone. A fancy car or an expensive guitar won’t help, believe me.

Her mantra is 'greed is good'. Personally, I couldn't give a flying fig for what other people have got, and as for it encouraging me to buy to keep up with the Jones's, er, no - why would I want to? When I see someone pushing their materialistic attitudes on selly tv my first thought is 'get a life, dearie'.

I will say this only once, obviously, as it's written I can't look at PS without thinking of someone who was known for 'fixing' things. Either that or a vampire 'made' past their prime. He's got quite a disconcerting face, if you ask me.

a vampire 'made' past their prime.

I'm choking on my tea here and the biscuit's fallen on the floor.

She gets about a lot doesn’t she!

Some people have a holiday home as well: perhaps in her case she has 1,500 holiday homes throughout the UK, all heated by IW radiators.

Peter S really inspires the viewer to buy.

Let me just wipe this watch face, it's got my slavers all over it.

Nice.
