A few minutes into the Call Blocker show, Howard revealed the two things that really annoy him: nuisance calls, and dog poo on the pavement. You have to hand it to him, it doesn't matter what he's selling, he nearly always manages a reference to his favourite subject.
He's on with the Mankey Tosspot (sorry, Mathey Tissot) watches at present, and he's saying "all we want from you today is £100 plus the post & packaging, the first of 4 instalments" - so it does look as though someone has had a little word in his lugholes. About time - he (and others) have been getting away with being disingenuous for far too long. He's just told us that the watch can tell us when it's full moon - quite frankly, I'm not surprised he would want to know that, as his behaviour is probably affected by the full moon, but for the rest of us they just look like the usual overpriced carp. Come back when the watch forecasts the winning numbers of the National Lottery, Pete, then I'll buy one.
Kevin and Peter are both absolute scoundrels implying once again that the watches will increase in value saying that 'there won't be anymore -you might be able to find a second hand one but then you'd pay -you say it Peter - well exactly!'
The imaginary audience of collectors was invoked once again -what a pair they are !
Fun tonight seeing how many different ways Peter can mispronounce Mathey -Tissot ,he came up with Mateo Tissiot and Matthew lLe Tissiot ( the footballing horologist ) among quite a few others.

Am I mistaken or were the terrible duo trying to imply that the watches would increase in price due to Brexit? Peter was mumbling something about "leaving Europe" whilst trying "not to talk about it" about as successfully as Howard trying not to talk about poo, then Kevski said something about the watches increasing in value as a result.
But a moment or two earlier they were talking about the Swissness of the watches saying that they were completely Swiss made...but hang on...isn't Switzerland not part of the European Union?!?

Apart from Peter Simon's weird and decidedly kinky obsession with "ladies of curve and shape", tonight when selling the Woodland Leather jackets he kept mentioning "first of four installments" so someone must have had words with him :mysmilie_59:
Polti steam cleaner arrived today no idea why ideal don't promote the fact that they usually deliver very quickly (ordered Sunday email states 5 working days!)
Not like them to undersell something .
The installment thing is certainly getting worse on all channels. Qvc yesterday 44 quid item 12 quid easypay delivery was 8 quid! Apparantley it was all yours for 12 quid... no mention of any more payments.[/QUOTE
I noticed the other day QVC doing an IW and just stating the easy pay as payment. Craig was banging on about having a budget of £20 for a gift, demoing an air fryer around £62 said with p&p it would be £20 easy pay, didn't mention anything about the rest of the easy pays.
On a very much side note one bright spark to come from bid must be marina berry.
Watching her on tjc today she is relaxed funny and not taking life or being a shopping tv presenter to seriously.
I note she seems to be getting a lot of singing work so maybe this is now more of a second job as and when for her so perhaps easier to relax and be yourself.
Actually enjoyable to watch no pressure selling bit like shopping tv used to be

I must admit I've warmed to her on TJC - when she was on Bid I used to get irritated with her, she was often seemingly content to be the male presenter's "stooge" - with a sort of "dumb brunette" act that used to get well and truly on my wick. Barra Boy used to be quite nasty to her, often calling her "darlin'" in a patronising way and making faces or raising his eyebrows at the camera, as though he'd been lumbered with her and she was thick. I used to want her to pull herself together and take the p$ss out of him or something, but never had her down as a serious presenter because of her giggling and silly comments while all this stupidity was going on. However, she seems to have come into her own on TJC, and I agree she's much calmer and clearer in her presentations than many of them on that channel. I watched a bit of her presentation of some coloured paste stone sparkly bracelets today, and she was pretty straightforward, not gushy or overly enthusiastic, but came across well.
