Random musings and general banter.

loads of buyers coming in for Beardy Mick's candelabras lol

Sales might be slowing down as he struggles to assemble it.

Ideal if you have a damp hovel and the electrics blow.
Pedro would love to come on like Liberace brandishing one

Can I just check, is 'Beardy Mick's candelabras' a euphemism for something rude?

No doubt Pedro will have met Liberace when he was performing in Vegas. They would have got on famously, both fond of banging back doors!

Liberace successfully sued the Daily Mirror who strongly suggested he was gay!

IW's illiteracy continues with a top note of the foul Dubai room scenters as 'Black Current'. Seriously...

I can't tell if it's IW employing foreign workers for whom English is not their first, or even second, language, or just idiots. Difficult to tell.

Evening, Peter. When are you back on-air again? Are you doing the Tommy Trumpions?

What I love about your shows in particular is they are misinformation free zones.

Kindly stop calling me Peter. Thank you.

Whatever you think of me, or my posts - please stop the accusations of whom I are. Thanks.

You mean he wasn't? He surely wouldn't tell lies under oath would he?

Cassandra - a Daily Mirror columnist - described Liberace as fruit-flavoured.

Would you call Dirty Peter that?
Well, I guess after he's drunk that fruity collagen and scoffed a whole lot of gummies!

Of course, Peter. Not a problem.

Yesterday upon the stair, I met a man wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
I wish, I wish he’d go away

[Duke of Cheese]

Last week he says he’s Peter
Today she says he’s not
The next she says he’s Joanne, shouting quite a lot
In March he posts as Peter V, in April now he’s Mike
In May they post as Sally, hoping for a like
In June he tells us not to watch or see another show
But can’t apply that logic here and cannot up and go
And back we come to Peter, and the quirky use of grammar
Some would say to sell like this needs ten years in the slammer…

Gert and Daisy have rocked up again..

Gert and Daisy have rocked up again..

The question I am asking myself is, would I spend £249.99 (reduced from £349.99) for a hairdryer from Lab Life, a brand I've never heard of, who sell to IW. The answer is no. According to Natalia with the shiny face, "you've got to upgrade your hair tools". She was looking manic and pointing when she said this! Quite scary...

I wonder if Hinge or Bracket would reveal the cost price?

 

[Hammy60]

Speaking of cost prices.

Was just having a scan through Verbal Diarrhea selling the £1500 9K gold watch in the early hours.

“loss leader, blah, blah, blah, Jakey look up the cost price on this,”

Silence while we wait for Jakey, then it turns out Jake’s screen is frozen, no cost price.

But verbal diarrhea is adamant it’s a loss leader cause she herself knows the cost price, of course she doesn’t reveal it, they really do think we're mugs.

“straight from the Las Vegas Jewellery show”

Strangely can’t find the Luxoro brand mentioned as appearing at any Las Vegas shows, but there again that’s not surprising as why would Luxoro watches (a VGL brand) being made for and only sold by VGL’s TV channels be at the Vegas Jewellery trade shows, it’s not like anyone can buy it.
Personally, I thought it was straight from TJC's stock as they've been selling it for months at loss leading prices.


£1500 watch and the only information we were given was, how much gold it contained, sod all info about the movement, sod all info about the brand, where it's made, etc. If I were paying £1500 for a watch I would want to know a bit more than just it’s gold content.

I’m not a person who won’t watch Joanne, But she is pretty low down the line, on somebody who would have great watch knowledge

I actually do not believe that you are Peter. You’ve been here a long time( you could be Muriel?)
Anyway why don’t you just join us on here for some banter,some fun and serious observations along the way? I’m sure your thoughts on IW are probably very similar to ours and you are just being divisive for attention?

There must be a sense of humour inside you somewhere,and if not I think IW can sell you one on a few flexis ?
Even Pete and Mike have a sense of humour,after all they ‘work’ for this travesty of a shopping channel!

Richard Mire is on with Pedro later,

 

[Duke of Cheese]

I’ve always said SL is the alter ego of another poster long-term. Patterns of behaviour- away for a couple of weeks, then back again for a quick fix. Sometimes posts very articulate, punctuated well, and generally sensible offerings. Other times, badly written - almost deliberately so. The same confrontational ‘switch off’ routine from something you don’t like. But equally, cannot switch off from a Forum they have no visible desire to be a positive part of. All very odd.

I ran a shopping television forum - a poor rival to Graham’s in the early 2000s. But what I did do reasonably well was deal with trolls and trolling, which I was besieged with at one point. Trollish behaviour needs to be moderated regularly. Warnings issued. And ultimately, if the behaviour remains the same, the user removed from the site and IP number logged and blocked. You simply cannot have somebody disrupting and upsetting (remember Late Arrival?) the group at will with no consequences. That’s my view. We are not here as somebody’s release valve and personal entertainment through confrontation session. Or at least we shouldn’t have to be.
