Random musings and general banter.

Mason earlier doesn't like Alex said 'I'll let Knowles explain'.

I very much sense that generating from his scruffy beard area. The way he (Mason) talks to him at times struck me as unacceptable. Of course - we both may be completely wrong and Mason loves the Group Captain. Maybe Mason wasn’t happy to see a man of military bearing and a decorated (by Wickes) retail soldier like General Knowles engaging positively with the Forum Old Contemptibles. Trying to learn from them and pursuing the right thing to do over subversive military hardware comparisons germ warfare. Whereas Mason, would simply drop a plane load of rancid Gammon and exploding canes on the Enemy trenches from an old Fokker (flown by Nail Colour Sergeant Simon), forcing General Hammy and Regimental Sergeant Major Muttley to sign the terms for Full Retail Surrender on pain of endless, loud interrogation by Corporal Vandermerwe-Mahon.

I didn’t say it would heat up an entire room did I?
I did say it will give off some heat because it did give off quite a lot of heat and if you stood next to it, you would feel that but it absolutely wasn’t a radiator that would heat up the whole room . It was a good bit of kit though - well made. I hope everyone is well - we did get a text in from someone asking if there blue gym shorts would melt on it so I was wondering if that text had come from you guys?! .
I hope everyone is good here.

The text wasn't from me as I wasn't watching

Did the watches ever materialise tonight? I couldn’t be arsed to watch.

Nope, but they are on their web site to buy, they also have it as pre-order dispatch 28/1, so i'm guessing they be on a show soon.

I hope I can speak for General Hammy but it would take more than rancid Gammon and exploding canes to put us out of action. We had training by the SAS and know a few dirty tricks.

You may not know that we have forumites deep undercover behind enemy lines. Their job is to isolate individuals and do terrible things to them. Like shaving off the scruffy birds nest on someone's chin (standards in the military have slipped since I joined) and scissors to ruin someone's elegant manicure. They then have orders to tie them to a chair and watch fashion shows on repeat for 24 hours.

I can't name the forumites but you know who you are. Your bravery is appreciated by your country and if you succeed your mission medals will be forthcoming.

We will never surrender!

Pedro in hard sell mode from the get go this morning. It can be quite unpleasant at times, ranting and banging his hands down. Can't stand listening any more

I usually watch and after about 20 seconds turn the sound off. Their body language and facial expressions are very aggressive with the majority of IW presenters. TJC presenters are not. The only other one I notice the aggressiveness with is Angeleen on Gemporia.

If Moronic Mike of Birdnest Beard approached me with that much aggression, Id give him a quick squirt of pepper spray (no I don’t have any as it’s illegal). Other alternative would be to use the light on my IW walking stick to blind him, the siren to deafen him and then knock him unconscious with aforementioned stick. I expect they could then use this as a selling tactic .

Amended that for you

Yes, Iwas watching Andy Hodgson and Jenny Cleary on TJC this morning. Very lighthearted and entertaining actually! Pretty honest about the fact that the £9.99 car vac was never going to be comparable to a Dyson but that it was a cheap item and good for the price. You can also see the numbers in stock and the amount they have sold (if those figures are accurate!). They were selling the Himalayan salt night light and Jenny started asking Andy if he believed the claims of health benefits because of the ions produced. He just said "no, but it looks really nice"!!
Not saying TJC are perfect, but immediately my thoughts turned to how IW tried to sell the very same lamp with Peter and Mike!!

What is Pedro waffling on about now? Just turned on and he’s on about some couple having difficulties or splitting up and him reaching for his weighted blanket. Now on about losing someone. Can he get any lower.

He's just awful.

Hollyoaks turns 30 later this year. Wonder if Jezza will be celebrating:

What product i'm i texting in on now?

 

[Scraping the barrel]

Alex knows the general consensus on here and he can’t change that view on his own.Eventually the current presenters will retire or expire or move on. But we are only a minority.
When you think about it there are probably only about 15-20 regulars on here and IW must have at least….twice that many viewers!. So IW are selling to a few regular viewers,and we know who they are

 

[galesgal57]

Oh No! Looks like I've missed the Crapovac demo. Both the vac and the rotating mop he had on earlier look extremely cheap and basic. It won't pick up pet hair without clogging Peter, you need anti hair wrap technology to deal with it efficiently.

 

[Scraping the barrel]

Well I never! That vacuum picks up oats from a hard polished surface. Brilliant.

BUT my cordless dustpan and brush does it quicker. Very manoeuvrable,no cord and only £1.99..

 

[galesgal57]

According to Pedro, the Crapovac does more than some expensive models! Walking canes coming up (yawn), and collagen. Big deal.

It picks up tea as well! It looks as if it would fall to pieces in no time at all.
