I had a woman who used to contact me in my job a few years ago and she had a sort of west country accent and would call me 'my lover'. But I found it adorable rather than offensive. However it's funny and just an observation, but the way it is said or how it is placed in a sentence can turn the word 'dear' into an insult. The way you described how you use it is in the harmless camp.
I used to buy a lot from old IW until they turned into a gent's watch channel and turned their website into an absolute jumble sale. I bought the bike box they were always selling and that was a good buy cos it stores away behind the sofa, but I rarely use it, but I know it's there if I fancy, and quite a lot of clothing. I have two dresses I bought years ago and they're still as good as new. A couple of years ago I bought a couple of t shirts but the quality was shocking so I returned them and to add insult to injury I kept receiving those phone calls trying to trick you into signing up for their savings club so I stopped shopping with them altogether. I had a quick watch today and saw a skirt that doubles up as a dress and years ago I'd have probably snapped a couple of them up in a heartbeat and as handy as they look, I've got plenty enough to wear for the summer so it's a no. I mainly watch the channels for entertainment, especially when all the mainstream channels are wall to wall sport!
And not nice.
I bought a halogen oven from Robert Dyas maybe 15 years ago and it was very good as a smaller quicker alternative to using my kitchen oven all the time. I actually had 2 as the first ones element broke and I got a free replacement but upgraded it with their guarantee to a bit larger size.
Mine was a lift off lid but I did not find it much trouble. I have noticed many of the halogen ovens are also now described as airfryers also to be trendy.
You have to realise that there are a lot of sad people on this site who watch IW all day in the hope of finding “amusing” things to say. Then they can laugh at their own jokes. It’s pretty cheap but I imagine most of the men look like gorillas.
Are you sad or what?I would like to officially deny being Saintslad's alter ago. I am not a lad and definitely not a Saint
I find it hard enough having one identity on here...
Please do not attack fellow forum members.
I stopped watching the IW version of TJC’s Beauty Channel ages ago, as it just seemed to be an ‘Opatra’ Infomercial. Flicked over yesterday morning to see if anything had changed and Natalia looked like she’d just come from a Spin Class on the hottest day of the year. There is a difference between a healthy glow and a shiny mess.
Pardon? I'm not sure what part of my comments led to this. A fellow forumite suggested that the poster may be on here under another name. I said it wasn't me. The Christian church hasn't yet elevated me to sainthood and I'm not male.
What about the women on this site? Don't leave us out, the suspense is killing us.
Spot on. Well observed.
