Random musings and general banter.

I'm guessing IW customers must be highly allergic to searching the internet for watches, only takes a few minutes to make big savings on the IW prices.

Kevinski, to Gollum: 'There's a tool with this (watch) as well'

Finally, Komrade Kevin says something accurate about that show.

 

[Hammy60]

£799.99, Kev how have you done it?


God knows Mike, but IW buyers & viewers are easy to con.

Wow

Never a need for a battery, never need serviced, never need to take the back off.


Never is a long time Kev, especially when there is a lithium rechargeable battery (Seiko TS920E) inside that movement.

And as Seiko say themselves.

"The capacity or recharging efficiency of a rechargeable battery may gradually deteriorate for various reasons, such as long-term use or usage conditions. Worn or contaminated mechanical parts or degraded oils may also shorten recharging cycles.
We recommend you have it serviced (overhauled) every 3 or 4 years in order to ensure it functions perfectly and will be able to be used for a long time.
An overhaul is like a health checkup for a watch. It is important to check inside the watch for retention of oil lubrication, looseness of screws, rust from dirt and sweat, and deterioration inside the case. By having an overhaul, dirt and sweat on an unseen part will be cleaned off, preventing a malfunction. In addition, any worn out parts and gaskets will be replaced to ensure that functions and water resistance works perfectly like a new watch."

As i said Kev, never is a long time.

I still get headaches from all the head banging in the 70s.

Yet another weather prediction from IW.

Jezza trying to flog 36 of the poundshop dehumidifiers for £39.99 and £2.99 postage.
Telling us "there's three very damp months ahead"

Then claiming they'll suck the moisture from wet clothes on a frame.

These presenters will say anything to try and get a sale.

Saw them live many years ago. Didn’t really appreciate them at the time.

Off topic but can also remember going to London with my grandma and aunty for the weekend when I was 8 years old and went to see the King and I musical with the great Yul Brynner. I fell asleep half way through! Would have loved to have been older and appreciate the experience

Here’s the list of 1991 BAFTA winners. No Peter, nor anything he’s been in…
https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0000123/1991/1/

And just in case the year was a bit off, here’s 1990
https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0000123/1990/1/?ref_=ev_acd_tl_yr_10
Of course he’s not there

Here’s 1989
https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0000123/1989/1/?ref_=ev_acd_tl_yr_1
Naturally, he’s not there either

And 1992
https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0000123/1992/1/?ref_=ev_acd_tl_yr_8
Nope!

If there’s any truth in it, I can only assume a programme he was in was awarded something (and TBH I can’t even find this, but let’s be charitable) for something he wasn’t really a part of - say the sound, or the direction, or make up.

He never won a BAFTA I have a friend who won a BAFTA and he brings everywhere lol I reckon Peter Simon would too

The Forum finger today?

Looks like El Foghornio Two has captured the morning slot on a permanent basis. Need something else on now in the background while I empty my septic tank.

The low production values of IW never cease to amaze me. Couldn't even be arsed to take the keyboard stand off the mobile stand which they'd wheeled onto set, with loads of wires trailing untidily at the back. It's not a big thing, but it speaks to the general cheap and nasty approach, and disdain to the viewers.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

That is their key issue - respect (or lack of it) for their audience. The same on TJC - not as bad from the bits I’ve seen. If it’s not a ‘those plebs don’t know what time of day it is’ view they take, then they have just employed the wrong calibre of staff to work for them. I take the former view.

Yes, that's it exactly.

Mike of the Morons, please watch the gentleman on the current beauty programme with Blackwall tunnel Gob. That’s what a well trimmed, neat beard looks like, not like your ragged, filthy, vermin infested monstrosity.

Bafta Award winning Peter!

Bafta Award winning Peter!

Yes, Because the show he was on won it, 3 years after he was dumped.

The clip I posted of him yesterday was so ironic.

Especially when he sang about things closing, and customers not being there
