Why do TV companies pay around £10,000 for drones when they can actually get a professional one from IW for £150?

When selling a Black Pleather Plop Chair Dirty Peter says : -

‘Isn’t that Black beautiful, look at that, it’s like a Steinway’

I guess it is :mysmilie_59:

Dirty Peter should have gone to Specsavers! (Other opticians are available...)

The backs on those chairs were much too low, PS's head was way above the top and I don't think he is tall.

I'm going to email Peter and advise him on where to shop. "For a chair like this, that rises and reclines, with massage and bonded leather, you'd expect to pay in excess of £1000"

NO PETER......for £1000 there are numerous ones out there made of actual leather, not this fisher price stuff.

And once again Count Dracula keeps stressing that they are bonded leather as being a big selling point? He worked in luxury hotels don't you know!

Bonded leather, also called reconstituted leather or blended leather, is a term used for a manufactured upholstery material which contains animal hide. It is made as a layered structure of a fiber or paper backer, a pulp made from shredded leather, and a polyurethane coating which is embossed with a leather-like texture.

Bonded leather is made by shredding leather scraps and leather fiber, then mixing it with bonding materials. The mixture is next extruded onto a fiber cloth, or paper backing, and the surface is usually embossed with a leather-like texture or grain. Color and patterning, if any, are a surface treatment that does not penetrate like a dyeing process would. The natural leather fiber content of bonded leather varies. The manufacturing process is somewhat similar to the production of paper.

Lower-quality materials may suffer flaking of the surface material in as little as a few years, while better varieties are considered very durable and retain their pattern and color even during commercial use.

Because the composition of bonded leathers and related products varies considerably (and is sometimes a trade secret), it may be difficult to predict how a given product will perform over the course of time. There is a wide range in the longevity of bonded leathers and related products; some better-quality bonded leathers are claimed to be superior in durability over low-quality genuine leather.

Is this the equivalent of a kebab?

I bought an expensive G-plan suite which was supposed to be leather.

But the surface flaked off, leaving a fabric backing, as described above.

On the toyshop hour last night.

The Bald Bloke and the wee over excitable Myer guy were on selling kids toys, Then as always they want to flog extra batteries the Bald Bloke then thought it would be nice to throw in a wee innuendo on a toy hour saying "come on gurrrls you know you can never have to much batteries"..............

Yep very classy Bald Bloke (did the mask slip?)....very classy indeed on a kids toy hour show, Just what that hour really needed, Well done IW class just oozes out of this channel.

Peter Simon is over 6foot, he just gives the impression of a small feeble old man when it suits him to do so.

Jaw dropping at the price of the bundle of two and three seater fakey flaky bonded leather sofas; both can be yours for only £1099.99 with "Free Platinum Delivery Worth £75" (ha ha). And they're half price too! :mysmilie_15:

Take that DFS Sale :mysmilie_59:

I don't know much about the quality(or not) of the Roamer watches on offer now but they are "empeccable" according to 'ol Pete.With "free p&p since 1988".
So if you are not tuning in and you have £250-£600+ spare ,or like me you can't find anything better to do, I suggest you hit that remote button onto IW.They are almost gone.

might be a silly thing to comment on, but Sally writhing on the chairs with the soles of her heels alternating between black and white on full display... sort it out.

The very sight of Sally writhing on the chairs was itself greatly disconcerting...

Ahhh, so MM's smutty innuendo, much like Simon's is stuck in the 70's eh?

When shilling a Heaty Uppy, Massagey, Pleather Plop Chair the ridiculous Creepy Crawley said : -

‘The design is quite Art Deco’



Later we had De Knees, shilling a Parka. She has bought 2 for her daughter (in Black and Purple). Nanty has also bought his ‘Mam’ one too. De Knees says : -

‘It will work on Yummy Mummies with their Kardashian style Pushchairs’
