Dire was screeching about the Sky Max Drone earlier, asserting that it was one of the easiest drones to fly; a claim he's made many times, about various drones. Strange then that none of the presenters are ever let loose with the controls, indicating that they're not quite so easy to navigate as...

I remember Volauvent being almost delirious with joy when he introduced the previously unknown Wiley Fox phone, promoting it as though it was a breathtaking revolution in mobile technology. It's possible he was scheduled for the Sony show, but being so easily impressed, this latest phone may...

I came across a review site that allows employees (past and present) to reflect their working experience of various companies. This particular comment, by no means untypical, is from a former employee of Ideal World... "Satans earth division" Former Employee - Anonymous Employee Doesn't...

As a sincere tribute to a non BAFTA winning ex-presenter, Peter Simon’s “Good luck if you get it!” catchphrase becomes, “Good luck now you’ve got it!” (his comeuppance, that is).

I know what you mean, Mossie. I imagine he keeps the presenting role quiet in his social life...and the sheer monotony of presenting vacuums and phones all the time-must get very tedious.

Whenever I see Vol au vent and his vacant smile, I can’t help thinking that he’s desperately trying to mask the realisation that, Instead of being recognised for his acting ability, he will be forever known as that bloke selling vacuums and phones on some tacky shopping channel...and possibly...

Ideal’s unofficial Vostok ambassador appears to be moonlighting for other brands. On yesterday’s Nuu smartphone show, Peter Simon read out an on screen review by someone he should be very familiar with...none other than our old friend, Dave Loydon! Dave could hardly contain his enthusiasm for...

I think Joe’s biggest mistake was trying to be a little too professional, and not fully realising that he was a mere bit part player in a goon show. Big Brodders has the right idea: eat as much food as possible, make a few whooping sounds, pocket the cash, and head back to a real job. Being an...

That's a good point, Wirral. I hear that Kevski's after-sales service is second to none. You can call any time, day or night...

Peter Simon is rumored to have already secured a generous redundancy package, which includes his own home studio and a guaranteed audience...

On yesterday's drone show Richard Dire was prattling on about the merits of an aqua stunt car. According to ranting Richard, this was the ultimate go anywhere flexible toy. At one point he shrieked, "What are you going to do if it goes upside down?" going on to say how this plastic marvel would...

The selling of Ideal Shopping Direct was a time limited offer and Aurelius were therefore advised to "Just buy it!". I believe it was a leveraged buyout financed on flexi-pay. Peter Simon is expected to be appointed as head of corporate ethics.

Turns out that Sherlock has set up his own online store, which even has a clothing range called 'Mediocre' http://www.petersherlock.co.uk/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=Mediocre You have to admire his honesty. He's also the co-owner of a beauty...

This review site tells a similar story, with a worrying number of one star reviews http://www.does-the-product-work.com/professor-amos-shock-it-clean/#comments This particular review caught my attention, with the reference to being 'shocked!' by the product:- No - Don't believe the hype 1...

I don't think we should jump to conclusions about Mr Schaffer's supposed effeminate nature. Outside of Ideal, the real Mr Schaffer is worlds away from his on-screen persona...
