Guy

[Adam]

My sleep pattern has been all over the place this week, so I've had the opportunity to watch Guy present.

Initially, I didn't like him - I remember seeing him when he first joined, and I wasn't too keen (excuse the pun), but I've warmed to him this week.

I don't particularly rate his abilities as a salesperson, and some of the things he comes out with are a bit ludicrous, but I rate him relatively highly as a presenter.

I think he seems bored because he's laid back - he doesn't take the job too seriously, and is just there to enjoy himself.. because most bid presenters are hyped up, loud, and very pushy, anyone who isn't just seems like they'd rather be anywhere else.

The only thing that really irritates me is his constant need to repeat the phone number.

I think Guy suits the early morning slot. The last thing you want first thing in the morning is someone screeching at you, a la the ship's foghorn - Sally Jaxxs.

I'm with you Adam, I think Guy is laid back, he doesn't take himself, the job or the products too seriously.
He also has a very dry sense of humour and comes across as quite laconic which can make him appear bored.
He doesn't become hyper, loud, shouty and pushy (like we're used to with some!!) but that's part of his presenting style.
I don't mind him and he can be very droll in a camp type way!!

After buying that lot you'll be losing sleep over the P&P charges and the "quality bedding" already looks like old rags after one wash. The dressing gown has a big hole in it, the lavender pillows make you sneeze and the colour changing clock won't switch off therefore it keeps you awake at night; the worry angels went on strike and the reed diffuser smells like cat litter crossed with old socks.

Sweet dreams :wink:

I think my bedtime suggestions for Adam are valid, kind and thoughtful
cat litter indeed!!

Marvelous suggestions there, deedee! The couple of inches on the mattress topper will make all the difference, and stop me dying according to Nicolola! The duvet will keep me nice and warm, and I don't mind getting a few loose feathers on me, the lovely range of top-quality polyester bedding will feel amazing against my skin. The lavender's just what I need to slowly drift off to sleep.. even if it's chemically created lavender smell! The reed diffusers are perfect - I can't burn candles, so I can still enjoy the lovely fragrances hand selected by Peter Sherlock himself.

I'm positive I'll have a crick in my neck from my lovely smelling pillows, so the neck massager will be just the right thing to take away those horrible knots, the worry angels will come in very handy as I tell them that I've spent all this month's budget on postage alone, the PJs and dressing gown will be brilliant for keeping toasty after getting out of bed, and the clock's different colours will make me feel like I'm in a soothing place.. or, make me dream of cheesy nightclub discos.

And when you wake up refreshed Adam, you can put on your Slazenger shirt, your Thomas Brooks suit, Harbour Bay socks and your plastic shoes, top the lot off with a gold skimmed huge brass bracelet and on yer bike you go

Who told you about my Slazenger shirt?! (I did genuinely receive a Slazenger sweatshirt as a Christmas present last year). The Thomas Brooks suit will be simply wonderful for when I'm dealing at the casino tables, the socks might be a bit tight on me, and the shoes will give me irreparable foot damage, but they look good! The goldique bracelet is a no brainer, and the Cougar bike, well, it was £1 (+£79.99 postage)

oh momma, you're a true style icon

The advice is really going to get me sleeping much easier at night! If only bid sold something to stop me getting burgled by people who know I've got such high-quality merchandise!

I'm VERY refreshed, safe in the knowledge that I paid bargain basement prices for all this fabulous stuff!

I hope he entered his 'no call back' number so they don't disturb his slumbers :sleepy:

I wanted EasyBuy to spread the torture.. sorry, payment.. over four months. That'll give me time to get a payday loan or four!

only if he didn't want to use easy buy!

EasyBuy's the way forward. I can enjoy the amazing products, and only have to pay a quarter (plus postage) of the cost this month.

Thanks for all the life pro-tips folks! I'll be sure to thank you all when I email in my Best Buy to bid!

Slightly off-topic, but the talk of lavender's reminded me of a little faux-pas someone presenting on a roulette channel had in those few days where it was really warm last summer.. they were talking about struggling to get to sleep and suggested putting a few drops of lemonade on your pillow to help you drift off. I tried that, and ended up with a family of wasps living in my head. Not exactly what I had in mind.

 

[deedee]

Adam it's a pleasure
I'm just so glad we could help you
and it's beyond kind of you to mention uis when you send Bid your 'best buys' email, I'll be glued coz I've always wanted my name read out on telly! (I don't get out much!!)
to think my name could be read out on the nations top falling price discount channel is just too exciting
oooooh thank you Adam :grin:

 

[Nikki]

Haven't a clue how this started, just read the errr "fashion" updates for Adam. Sounds like he'll look every bit a winner, (see, I said "winner" lol) :wink:

But surely you have missed out the multibuy option, especailly for those gold plated bracelets?? Peter Simon said "Multibuy these, you can sell 'em in the pub for more than this"! That's my top tip, buy 'em, pile 'em high, sell 'em on

 

[Adam]

Buy 'em, pile 'em high, sell 'em on, and put your foot down as quickly as possible.

You offering to be my getaway driver Adam? (I.e., get well away before closing time & the gold plate starts to wear off) :wink:
