i want to know where the james bond swiss army watch is.... he had that on for about two weeks until he sold it.

Listen Mr Tom, this is just between you and me so keep it under your hat but I heard a little rumour that, brace yourself, he didn't actually buy a James Bond watch at all.

Shhhh :wink:

As usual, Kiri looks like she needs a good shower.

I've often wondered if she has a sleep midway through her shifts, her eye makeup sometimes looks like it's from the night before. But she's supposedly a fashionista so perhaps it's a 'look'.

Has anyone noticed she seems to have developed a strange, deliberately strained sounding voice? It's hard to describe but I'm sure her voice has changed.

I know exactly what you mean
I couldn't put my finger on it but I totally understand what you mean

I'd certainly noticed it too, it's nothing like as annoying as say Schlock, Split Ends or of course Gollum but it's quite cringey. But in the big picture I guess it's nothing really.

If I didn't know any better I'd say there's spots on those pans where the ceramic has already come off!

Lol! So true. She's supposedly a fashionista but always looks dishevelled
and wears the most awful clothing.
At least she's not contradicting the presenter these days, she seems to
have very little air time.

Just switched on to find Sherlock flogging his dotd. He read a poem from a "fan" saying how wonderful his perfume is. I only heard the first line before turning off to have a lie down and seek counselling. Hilda, Dorothy and Violet bought one.

We play a game called Guess What Colour Kiri Is Wearing Today ;-)

She always looks like she's been out all night having not bothered going home first to freshen up. Heavy eyes, smudged, days-old make up and unbrushed, greasy hair.

And there's a good chance she'll be showing her left shoulder (in fact a very good chance)

And there's a good chance she'll say in a strangely intonated voice 'this style is being shown by some really big designers this season' without ever elaborating

And there's a good chance she'll say 'so that's something worth considering' when the only genuine consideration is if the tatt is even worth the postage charge

Divine Decadence is the talk of Flu *** clinics up and down the land.

In fact I heard it's going be cross promoted with Stannah Stairlifts.

Is there any female assistant who works with Mike who you do have a good word to say about? I remember you had a lot of hate for the assistant who he allegedly slept with.

 

[Wirral70]

Did anyone watch Gollum last night, cooking with the Ceramic Pans?

It was hilarious, his food looked like something served up in a Workhouse but he clearly thought it was Haute Cuisine, he does amuse me. Mike strikes me as the type of man who dabbles in a lot of things but in truth isn't very good, at anything.

However, I admire his enthusiasm. He is Frank Spencer.

I am sorry but you are wrong about that. I won't have you say Mike isn't very good at anything, here is a very long list of things he is A+++++ at:

- Boring the socks off viewers about his Lady/Goddess
- Making up stories
- Patronising viewers (see " now what do I mean by ...)
- Scaring viewers into making a sale
- Treating female assistants as objects for him to chat up
- Not allowing the expert who knows more than him get a word in edgeways because he thinks he knows more


You get the idea

BTW Wirral, do you call yourself Wirral 70 in the hope that ITV think back to Joe 90 with affection and make a series about you?

To be totally fair to Gollum I think there are far worse than him for interrupting guests, of course Dirty Peter is the worst but Split Ends is another violator. But poor Gollum, he isn't very good is he?, even his sales are poor.

I have no real ambitions to work in television however, I'd consider a role as an 'expert' guest. All you seem to have to do is lift information from Fragrantica or Basenotes, tailor it to the murky water you're shilling and bingo, you're a fragrance afficonado.

I'd even consider Botox, the wearing of red strides or perhaps even Harry Hill shirts if it helped get the gig.

Who is the assistant he allegedly slept with? (showing my novice levels of history in our world of shopping telly)

Is it Marina Berry? I think I read that Mike went out with her. I apologise if I am wrong or accidentally made this up.

I saw it! Like you said earlier, it looked like he'd damaged the ceramic slightly with his metal utensils but he looked so smug when he held the pans up!

Four pancakes was a bit overkill and they looked awful. Could have demoed something else!

(I wish this forum was tablet-friendly. Very painful trying to post!)

Marina likes bankers so you could be right :mysmilie_59:

Wasn't he proud of himself though? Ahh, it was quite sweet really.

He's patently useless but at least he has a go. Bless.

I love when they do the pan cleaning part.... i don't know whether it's the notion that they spend four times aslong with the ceramic cleaning

i cannot put my finger on it
