Random musings and general banter.

Adoro mattresses and catatonic blankets. The man is a fool.

You know where the toilets are. What a unique selling point.

Do you not make a fry up?

Cut everything up into small bits (turkey, beef, PiB, chipolatas/little sausages, peas, carrots) and throw it into frying pan with mashed tatties and the stuffing, mix, stir and fry, then serve lashings off brown sauce over the top.

We used to have that Sunday night or Monday, mother used to do a fry-up of Sunday dinner leftovers. panhacklety it's called in the north east 🍽

Wow, that must have been brilliant! Terrific character actor.

The stage had minimal props, a single bed, a chair and a table. He performed most of it standing at a lectern, reading it as Charles Dickens would have delivered it. You could have heard a pin drop in the Theatre.

Looks like Alex’s head on an extremely small body????

It's mini Alex, co presenter with him Xmas day

 

[ronzy75]

He is a real gentleman when you meet him. I have seen him shopping in Morrisons at Teesside Park a few times, and he always says hello ladies, and will hold a door open for you.

He was on Seaton front a couple of weeks ago, visited a local chippy

I seem to remember on the old Ideal World, the presenters used to say they could only safely be on those vibrating plates for 30 minutes at a time. If Peter's on there for much longer, something is going to fall off!!!!

Jacques de Moanier watches! The fool needs elecution lessons.

 

[Samki]

I don’t need the latest technology earphones from dyson - not with the new phone I had for Xmas

 

[galesgal57]

Doo point (meaning two) ars*hole

Loved him on The Home Service. Ironically, always notorious for getting the time wrong…

Oi!! My house isn’t a freezing hovel! That’s just the kids rooms and the bathroom. The rest of the house is quite nice! .
But the bathroom floor is bloody cold. At least I have a Xmas suit to stand on now as I have been banned by my family to ever wear anything like that again on Tele…so it’s not just you guys giving me grief for the suit!

Fair enough - but the answer to the cold bathroom floor was hiding in plain sight.

Dirty Peter told us he cleans his teeth, spills water all over the bathroom floor and it's freezing.
These bath mats are the answer - multi-buy them for an upstairs toilet, a downstairs loo, a shower room.
Pedro helpfully told us you get a lot of coverage if you put them together cheaper than carpeting the bathroom

 

[HughTwo]

Pedro obsessed with bogs - urging you to buy a torch with a flexible head to see down the U-bend for leaks.

"Happens to me a lot at my time of life....leaks!"

We thought collagen/emu balm had sorted out his waterworks

 

[HughTwo]

Well, Pedro didn't have a life-changing moment like Scrooge on Christmas Day.

"Get four months supply of collagen, if you can.
"I believe I would have lost my hair if I hadn't started taking collagen".

He is losing his hair the numpty. His bald patch gets bigger every year and his hairline is gradually receding too

 

[galesgal57]

Pedro clocked off at midnight, showing pre recorded shows now, so why couldn't they do it on Christmas day? He's back at 10 in the morning.

Ooh just looking at Ideal World reviews on Trustpilot and they have nosedived. 87% are 1 star. Not surprising to any of us forum members I suspect

 

[Francy19]

Scrap my last comment, was on Ideal World Customer Service reviews.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

They have 18% one star reviews on the main Trustpilot review page for the company. And 27% total reviews of three stars or less. That is a very poor rating for a business with not far off 100,000 reviews. A number of the five stars reviews seem questionable in terms of authenticity to me, too. Counterbalancing that with a percentage of the one star reviews also being invented, of course. Nonetheless, poor customer service and their questionable returns policy issues are a much-repeated theme there. The company’s replies to poor reviews are pretty much appeasingly handwringing in style. Clearly generated from India from the writing style. I would never buy from them based on the way their business appears to operate in general.

Well, having seen bits (I won’t say which bits) of the Group Brigadier on his presenting stint. I would say he tried to sell with bravery and military precision in general. His uniforms were somewhat unconventional for a senior military shopping figure, but his ball bearing was erect, and his pace stick of orders delivery moved well. I didn’t see him firing off any subversive weaponry from behind Pillows HQ, or rifling through ladies’ clothing in a highly questionable and effeminate regimental manner as Colour Sergeant Simon of the Men’s Nail Varnish Division usually does. All in all, the Colonel led his men well and fed with copious quantities of Gammon, and with the gallantry, precision and descriptive accuracy of an Exemplar Planet factory sample timepiece. At ease, Knowles. Well done.
