Random musings and general banter.

A damp old four bed detached in the Cotswolds...

New presenter, same old crap

She's not really new. Has been on before, is more like an occasional or stand in presenter. She's not very good at selling, resorts to waffle very quickly.
The Philips AAA batteries were working out at 50p each from them, Aldi do their own brand alkaline for 25p each.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

The only good presenters I have seen on there were Simona, Rob and Heather and Ali to a degree.

All these damp reducing dehumidifier things are essentially just pots of salt.
I suggest you could probably make your own.
You can buy a load of cooking salt for £16!

tbh I wasn't expecting anyone to believe this was real! So I suppose I'd better say ...

early April's fool!!!

I believed it until the last line "none of the above can be considered factual"

 

[Battiola73]

I was well and truly fooled. I did wonder but couldn’t be arsed to faff about actually going onto IW website to read them myself

 

[Jazzydrury]

Fashion hours bore me

 

[Duke of Cheese]

I believed it until the last line "none of the above can be considered factual"

Unfortunately, I didn’t read the last line…

Unfortunately, I didn’t read the last line…

If it hadn't been for that last line I would have believed it too!

I always read the small print thoroughly...

 

[cheeky chappie]

I believed it until the last line "none of the above can be considered factual"

Well spotted, that was intended to be the giveaway line if anyone hadn't guessed up until that point

Maybe I should start a sideline as a Terms & Conditions Consultant?

Merry Christmas to everyone here, btw. I've not been posting as much of late, but I'm still reading along and enjoying a good chuckle at everyone's comments and observations on the absurdity presented daily, and loving Duke's pics ('needs shifting' on the Gammon box gets me every time)..

But I am shaking my head* at Muttley's and Jazzy's stream of smut. Tsk!

*Just joking - although the mentions of Pedro's crusty shorts and pee stained gusset etc do make me gag a little…

 

[Duke of Cheese]

The trouble is the channel is so shonky, it sounded genuine. That said, I should’ve read the last line.

My God, that presenter is so poor. I wouldn’t by a leek in a vegetable bucket from her. She strikes me as the smarmy type to go quite happily with all those ludicrous price comparisons…You know… the ones Rob refused to deal with.

Merry Christmas. Thank you for all your great contributions. I’m sure I’m not alone in saying that they are really valued. Stick around – more photos to come in 2025, God willing.

Sergeant Remblance…Gather the men…Erm..There are no men, Sir. Don’t Question me, Remblance. I mean those with male parts in the Shooting Gallery, and Colour Sergeant Simon from the Nails Polish Freedom Fighters Missiles Bar. Yes, Captain Knowles.. Call the ham roll, Sergeant. Tonight, Men, we will be going over the top with strategic price war comparisons. Any man refusing to fire one out will be shot by the 2MP digital camera Pick Axe of The Day…DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME, MEN? Er..yes, sir…SPEAK UP….YES, CAPTAIN..Any messages from the ENEMY at Camp Forum, Sergeant? No, Sir…Then make some up, SERGEANT…WE ARE AT DIRTY WAR WITH GENERAL HAMMY’s infidels…Anything goes, men, and you, Colour Sergeant Simon…Men…It is 18:00 hours and time to engage with the unseen enemy - The ASA Holes Brigade…Trumpet Boy Mason- Stay By Me…Sound the men to battle…(Over) CHARGE men…

Joe and Alex can’t be any worse than who is on now

 

[Alex Knowles]

Thanks for the support Duke! we are about to go over the top and face the front line in shopping television.
Let’s see how it goes - I’m happy to cover a couple of shifts here over Xmas and hopefully have some light hearted fun as well. Wishing you all and your families a merry Xmas.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Good man, Alex. Your continued contributions and coming in peace is appreciated.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

It’s always nice to see a presenter who financially identifies with the customer base – not. £8 on a bottle of wine might not be much for you, Luv, in your four-bed ‘hovel’ in the sticks; but some of your viewers (you know… the £9.99 tat buyers you wouldn’t give servants quarters to), might not be so lucky..

early April's fool!!!

Nope! Didn’t believe a word of it. So obviously taking the urine.
But that’s because I guess I am one of the biggest cynics here. Very funny and could be oh so true.

Anyway that’s that dealt with now to be serious for a minute,those magic beans you claimed to have earlier. Any left?

I've been looking at the TV guide on the iplayer and if anybody is interested BBC4 showed an evening of Fanny Craddock Christmas cooking shows last Saturday. 5 episodes covering your Christmas bird, Christmas pudding, Christmas cake, Royal Mincemeat and Petit Fours.

I remember her wearing floaty dresses while she was cooking, my mum never did that when she made us egg and chips.

I may watch them for a laugh!
