    Goodbye all :)

    Yeah but nah, too much hassle. I might catch the occasional few mins on STV as I'm a night bird. tbh all jokes aside have hardly been watching these days anyway.

    Goodbye all :)

    With IW scheduled to disappear from Virgin, it's likely I'll rarely (if ever) watch it again. I don't have Freeview configured on my 'main telly' and tbh don't intend doing so. My spare room telly is rarely on and I've never watched IW online. So I'll take this opportunity to say goodbye to...

    tbh I wouldn't believe anything they say, literally.

    I hopped on the other night and they were flogging an air fryer. It was the 'cook' Joe and a male presenter whose name escapes me. This is how it went ... Presenter: I want one of these so badly but by the time I go to order, they're always sold out. Joe: Yeah, they're always popular. Ok...

    TJC flogging Gamages watches last night. The guy from the brand (is he from the Field family?) couldn't look any more like a spiv if he tried. The utter GUFF that comes out their mouths when flogging what are VERY evidently cheaply produced products. We're selling this watch for £89.99 with a...

    I've been dipping in over the past few days. Peter S seems to be using his 'right, get ready!' phrase in overdrive mode at present. Get ready for what exactly? Something being flogged that we can probably get cheaper elsewhere?!? Muppets the lot of 'em.

    Go see my recent post in the TJC section re gold bar I saw for sale last night. Nothing short of disgusting what I witnessed, selling it as though it was the bargain of the year. When oh when will folk start to, by default, check Google BEFORE buying from selly telly to make sure they are...

    Regardless of where you buy their products from, Hornby is hardly an affordable hobby these days. £40-£60 for track expansion packs, £50-£60 for a couple of small buildings etc etc. Kids won't be able to buy much Hornby branded stuff on pocket money that's for sure. And yes, I know as many if...

    1 gram 24 karat gold pendant, £349.99

    They're selling it right now as I type this. A 24 karat gold bar/pendant with a 9 karat gold 'free' necklace. Yours for just £349.99. The 'expert' selling it tells viewers he can't believe the price. Put it away as an investment, although he 'isn't giving investment advice.' He also says he'd...

    According to Peter S on a collectables show last night, this item and others were being sold at VASTLY discounted prices on IW...

    Only IW could sell cheap plastic tat toys over previous years when times were (hopefully) easier for most financially, then the very year we enter recession and a cost of living crisis, they flog a glorified wind up toy that costs a GRAND!!! Ha Ha HAaaaaaaaaa ...

    I've got to say it again. I'm not sure if it's an intentional result of the manufacturing process, but the plating on some of the S&E watches makes them look like shiny plastic. It looks like they've been dipped in a thick glop of gold coloured liquid. Thus making an already cheap looking...

    Caught some of the show. These toys will fall into that classic bracket of being played with for a few days tops then most kids get bored and the toy spends the rest of its days lying forgotten under the bed or consigned to the top of the wardrobe to gather dust. These things might have more...

    Actually I take that back. Not all IW viewers are mugs. I feel sorry for the folk (e.g. granny buying for her grandson) that maybe watch channels like this and believe what the bullsh1tters, oops sorry presenters and 'experts' are telling them. So they spend £200 or whatever on something like...

    Because they want to extract as much £££ from punters as they possibly can. Bear in mind they're not selling to watch connoisseurs as such. As part of their patter, they refer to their watch show viewers as experts/connoisseurs, however with no disrespect many (most?) of them can't be...

    As we always say, they'd make up any old sh1te to bag a sale. Not defending the presenters for one second, but bear in mind they simply read the autocue/script and off they go. Those writing said autocue/scripts could very likely write almost anything about the products and the presenters...

    Imagine Peter S doing one of these shows (whilst sitting on top of the plastic horse) putting on the faux sincere face and voice ... From the clippety clop through village, hill and dales, from the neighing sound of the magnificent thoroughbred as it jumps over hedge and through stream. From...

    I am 100% confident some viewers will have bought the bonded leather furniture from IW convinced they've got a better quality of leather compared to actual leather, given the way IW refer to the bonded stuff. Con merchants the lot of 'em.

    Guys, my mate just bought a new car and it came with mats. Two in the front, two in the back, a full set of mats. He's so lucky. When I bought my new car it didn't come with any mats. I had to buy them myself and they cost £600!!!

    Needless to say, after 20-30 secs I hopped off again ;)
