Random musings and general banter.

Has anyone ever watched a full hour of watching IW3? I think the maximum I ever watched was 10 minutes when it first came under the TJC umbrella.

I’d really like to see the quantities sold like TJC.

I often watch for 60 minutes.

Oops sorry, I'm getting my minutes and seconds mixed up ...

I can't stand watching this new presenter, ooh, aah, and all the inane comments. Mark looks shakier than ever.

God, no? They've not brought him back again, have they? They shouldn't be putting him through it. Also being with a wringing wet presenter, isn’t going help him.

World renowned expert on nothing makes his appearance donning his heating expert cap.

If you're referring to Peter V, I caught a few mins of him flogging a tabletop heater last night. Apparently we're all using our central heating wrong. We should have the main thermostat turned down (I think he said to 14 or 15 degrees) so just keeping the chill off. Then ... surprise surprise ... we should have one or more of these small mobile heaters to move into whatever room we're in.

What a load of old guff.

And of course the usual bull was spouted about central heating warming the entire home i.e. wasteful.

WE HAVE TRVs ON OUR RADS YOU MUPPETS, WE CAN CONTROL EACH ROOM TEMP VIA THOSE.

Did anyone catch Yannis about 12am last night? Was selling a heater/fan combo. Anyway, his 'producer' Charlie had a date and when he asked her around again she declined. The only reason they could think of was the room was too chilly being dead serious while he said it.

They call him Doe Boy, don't they? Will say or do anything for a fast buck...

Hey folks hope everyone is okay.

Strange update, phoned 111 Mental Health last night, explained everything, they said in their eyes I’m extremely vunerable, Got a text from the Doctors a Hour ago, saying I’m now down on there Extremely Vunerable List Strange hey

That's good news, there may be light at the end of the tunnel for you now x

At least he cant blow it up.

Dads cooking a stew smells so yummy

That's good. Trying to get joy out of simple things can lift you. Like being wrapped up nice and warm watching TV. Whatever works for you, as you say like enjoying your dad's cooking. Small bits of positivity will hopefully help x

She found out who Charlie worked for and couldn't stop laughing!

Where has Sally got to

 

[historymystery]

I’ve asked to see a GP, which I feel she should have done

Sorry to hear your experience, Jazzy, sending support and hoping you'll get support from your GP. The NHS in general - and obviously including Mental Health services - is on its' knees, sadly. Like so many other things in this country, including education and the police.

Those in power rarely use NHS or the mainstream education system, so it seems to me they don't give a stuff about those who have to rely on it.

And we all know what happened to Rasputin...

Yes, but not only was he poisoned, not only was he shot, not only was he thrown in the river.....and he still surfaced, to purchase a bamboo mattress topper....

Where has Sally got to

I can hear her out in The Solent warning the ships going in and out of Southampton. She might be back on air tomorrow as it’s meant to be sunny so no need for a foghorn.

He is incredibly ODD….It is almost like the archetypal bad liar gives too much information to bolster up their fanciful story into truth. The interesting thing is with him, when you watch him regularly, you notice the contradictions and discrepancies in the various analogies he presents to you. Really, he should keep a video check on all his past performances to make sure on each show he is singing from the same previous hymn sheet. That said, that would be too much like preparation, and too much like hard work.

One of my Dad's sayings was 'liars need to have good memories" and that's so true. Pete seems to assume that the viewers have no memories at all - they are suffering from collective amnesia - and the same assumption applies to Gemporia presenters, they bleat on and on about their regular customers, but does it not occur to them that if they have regular customers, the customers will have heard different versions/contradictory statements in the analogies they spin? It must be due to that well-known selly telly presenter condition (which is incurable) called Pinocchio syndrome.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Indeed. And for me it all boils down to that basic underpinned lack of respect for the audience they are selling to. Clearly, many take a view, they are gullible, lonely, insecure and easily influenced by appropriate and targeted anecdotal language. You can understand why presenters of that mindset would feel they could say anything and not need to have even the need to check that it contradicted with something they've said before.

Where has Sally got to

She might be distributing more meals for underprivileged children while being filmed for social media to show how humble and caring she she is.

Thing is they are refusing to leave me at home at the moment, so got dragged to Sainsbury’s

Jazzy, you've brought back a childhood memory. In school holidays I would go with my mum to our local Sainsburys. I loved looking at all the packaging, some things could be used for my little shop and post office set. I remember plastic Ski yoghurt pots and the cardboard container for Hartley's jelly, my mum used to make trifle. I could amuse myself for hours with things like this. I never said I was bored.

I would have loved all the modern day shop toys with their scanners and proper cash registers but I was happy enough.

We used to have a local German bakery, absolutely wonderful bread and cakes. I used to buy their rye bread and the lady owner used to tell me that it was a good choice as it was good for the bowels

For heaven's sake, nobody tell Pete.
