I’d love to stay up for The Pee Pants Special, but something is dragging me away from it…

Paul Burke seems to be stuck on a loop of "please don't miss out" this morning.

Believe me, you're missing nothing - apart from yet another text from Trevor Cotswolds when he was trying to flog a Jacque de Manure watch

Bearing in mind that the presenters read this forum, I reckon one of them will say 'Jacque de Manure' by mistake when flogging it

Of course Trevor from the Cotswold is in. He knows a bargain when he sees it.

Does anyone on here remember Lee from Ventnor in the bad old days of Bid TV. He used to buy everything as well.

Their desperation of 'please don't miss out' is so funny. They'll be selling them again tomorrow!

He even has his own pub…

Lee from Ventnor just texted in, come on, own up!

I suspected as much - Trevor has previous! He was last seen wearing a red suit, trimmed with white fur, clambering down someone's chimney! Put out a countrywide warning - he has been known to escape by taking to the skies and can also be identified by the 2,000 tons of IW tat that he carries with him (stopping off at his insurance brokers' on the way, to get it insured....) and by his shouts of 'Av a buy'.

Did I catch him saying that he used to weigh 22 stones about 14 years ago? There is no way he used to weigh 22 stones, then..Not in my opinion. I assume he’s talking about the early 2010s period of his life. Yes, he was bigger than he is now – significantly so. But 22 stone? I have to guess on his height, but I would think he is around about 6 foot tall - maybe an inch or two either side of that. He looked in the pictures I’ve seen of him during that era - probably around about 16 or 17 stones, but certainly not 4 to 6 stones heavier than he is now. If I had to guess his weight looking at him now, I’d say he weighs about 13 stone – something like that. Obviously nothing is checkable, and unless I could’ve put him on a scales back in 2010, I’m purely speculating. But I do feel that I am correct.

Always said on old I W that the power plate helped his weight loss

Mark clearly displayed signs of anxiety to me. I’ve suffered from it, and people who’ve suffered from it can generally see it in others. I can clearly remember my head shaking when I had to give evidence in court as a young police officer. I was thinking everybody in the courtroom could see me in that state, which probably some of them could.

Chef Mark has appeared to me to be a bag of nerves at times, and I think a number of his mistakes culinary wise have been down to him not thinking straight, and then blind panicking, rather than any straightforward incompetence. That said, he has tried to big himself up when talking about his background in cooking, and then making a ridiculous mistake by saying that Michelin graded restaurants up to four stars, which then killed the credibility of what he said immediately before, straight away.

Being in the Police left me a complete bag of nerves, and I hated the job, which I forced myself to do for nearly seven years. If getting older brings you good things in life, it’s continued oxygen, and not forcing yourself to do things you don’t want to do any longer and make you ill. A great relief.

I feel he not used to being in front of camera or on tv. Not a natural or prom….. oh forgot neither are the others

It's almost laugh out loud funny/pathetic.

Ok, they are salespeople paid to sell. However when they're saying stuff like this when selling very common can be had anywhere products (often cheaper) it simply makes a mockery of the whole setup.

Whether you agree with their approach/sales technique or not, you can understand it being used pre the era of the Internet being widely used. However in this day and age it's laughable.

They always remind me of the market traders back in the 1960s. Used to go down Shepherds Bush Market on a Saturday with my mum. There was one selling meat and another selling towels, bedding etc, both from the back of large vans. Similar down Gosport Market on Tuesdays in the 70s. Don’t remember Mum buying anything from any of them. She preferred to buy from our local butchers and towels, bedding came from the Coop as she got her divi. (Still remember her divi number of 60 years ago)

They did have all the patter but they usually sold a lot of their stock and the same people came back week after week. Mind you I think they used to have a ringer in the crowd.

And no, I didn’t text in as Lee from Ventnor

I wonder what rubbish Pedro will be flogging.

Rubbish? I think you will find it it's top quality rubbish, stuff that Poundland rejected as unsellable!

 

[Bernie100]

I wonder what rubbish Pedro will be flogging.

Collagen, Emu balm or a Vibraplate is a fair bet.

 

[Jazzydrury]

maybe I need a night with Pedro to get out of my depression
