Random musings and general banter.

If Mike got the Greendale, why didn’t Peter get Trumpton

Mike never used to realise that the Tracey from Trumpton texts were fake up until a few weeks ago when he finally twigged

Caroline Luck. Clearly theirs never runs out. The ASA couldn’t give a fu..luck in general.

What is that vile shyte on his demonstrating board. Stilettos for tarts with doll-sized feet? Apparently each one costs a fortune of money- as opposed to a fortune of turds.. I’ve seen more plausible hoopla stalls. Never have I seen so much crap outside a sewage works.

Regardless of the fragrance: or whatever, be it perfume, or jewellery, I think 'inspired by' is pointless. It's basically a copy. Even the containers are similar to the original. Say it 'smells like', not it's inspired by.

I'm still waiting for the ASA's judgement on the beauty item they showed was for sale somewhere for $4600 dollars (it was £110 on company's website), but that turned out to be Taiwanese dollars (equivalent to £115) so utterly meaningless. I submitted it on 12th December. I expect it will be considered a "genuine mistake" so they won't bother doing anything about it.

I’ve seen more plausible hoopla stalls. Never have I seen so much crap outside a sewage works. Why are they mentioning a perfume manufacturer that presumably has absolutely nothing to do with the items they are selling? Gentlemen …Fat bloke with his flies undone, subconsciously trumping in front of the television… Public Conveniences….It’s a VERY IMPORTANT DAY COMING UP? Trumps again…

I bet they smell as bad as they look!

These price comparisons are absolutely outrageous.
£800 elsewhere for a £20 item with nothing to do with the quoted £800 elsewhere. Just taking the pisstola night after night out of hard-up, gullible people.

If I can afford it, I'd much rather have the original. For all 'we' know, they might smell identical to the original, but it's 'staying power'. It might dissipate as soon as you put it on. Side note. There was a very nice perfume from a proper company that I bought. It smelt wonderful to me, but within 30 mins or so, it was like I'd never put it on. Waste of money, and that was a brand name too.

Patrick from Atlantis? Did he ever have a name, or was he just 'the man'?

Mike read a few texts out from George from Walmington-on-sea previously without realising the Dad's Army connection. Pedro twigged immediately though.

Rodney from Peckham, Hugo from Dibley, Nessa from Barry Island, Mrs Doyle from Craggy Island?

Is she related to Mr T?

 

[Jazzydrury]

Chorton and the Wheelies, that was a horrific show wasn’t it, you had Potatoes on Wheels, and a Cackling witch

Wait for it.. His breakdown story.

Desperately trying to find an expensive price comparison...

Here it is....Just show a clip of the wretched story.

£300 plus for a Start/Stop battery. More boll....Here comes the son driving in the future story now...HELLO, DAD...HELLO, SON ..The bag that says Moby...Play Porcelain...It will calm you down...

Finally they've found a suitable high price comparison - £103... Obviously too many under £50 ones to start with..

The man of meticulous product preparation doesn't know how long it takes to charge the unit...God help us..

St Michael, Patron Saint of the Honest & Transparent next with the luxury Dechump watches.

Another opportunity for Dechump to save on advertising and influencer costs.
