St Peter is trying out the Vibrapower machine and, if you were just listening to it, you would think he's going through some ritual torture punishment - or something even more X-rated! I can't believe that his shouts of "faux-agony" are a great "sell" for the product!

Hello Everyone My wife has her eyes on a QVC Vionic sandal The Introductory Price on the website is £37.96 plus £4.95 p&p. There's an accompanying video where the item shows a price of £36.82 plus £4.95 - but it also calls itself an Introductory Price!! I thought the Introductory Price...

I don't think it's been mentioned earlier (apologies if it has!) but I hate: "They're flying out the door".

It was only a few months ago that Ideal World bade a tearful (the presenters were in tears, not him) farewell to Derek, the Karcher man. This morning, he has popped up on Richard Jackson´s garden show on QVC flogging a similar product by Greenworks.

Absolutely full marks to the Gail Hayman bloke who is coming to the end of an hour of incessant interruptions (usually trivial ones, too) from Alison Young. A great guest wasted.

For me, Peter's in his element, and at his "best", when he's presenting the Thomas Kinkade show, although the term "best" is a rather relative term, of course.

Hello Leonie Well, first of all, I'm very grateful to you for coming on here and addressing my original post. Many wouldn't, so total respect to you and thanks very much. In our house, we watch a lot of craft TV. My wife is the enthusiast, I do as I'm told! However, even I, as someone...

It's my wife who's the C&C fan in my house; she particularly likes Sarah Millsop. Often, Leonie is the presenter but my wife keeps asking the same question: "Exactly what does Leonie actually DO from a craft point of view?" Harsh or not?

Yes, sorry, I left out the "Absolutely". Now she's off on the Ideal World mantra that items are "sold out and gone" rather than simply "sold out". What overpaid clown thinks that having to script the presenters into saying "sold out and gone" is going to influence whether people shop with...

Years ago, when shopping telly and these forums were in their infancy, many on here rightly complained about how often presenters used the word "stunning" when describing products. Well, in my opinion, Genevieve has raised the bar to World Record proportions. My wife's watching the Bon Marche...

I live in Windsor and we get an email two or three times a week from what's called "Eyes & Ears". It's produced by the Thames Valley Police and updates everyone on local crime information and advises how to avoid being scammed at the door or over the phone. Yesterday, we got a "Special"...

I NEVER buy anything from a cold call. I've reached the stage where, with these callers, I try to wind them up. The one I haven't done yet is, if they ask for me or someone else in our household, you ask them to hold and leave them there wasting their money hanging on. After ten minutes, pop...

Hello everyone. I've just had one of our regular cold-calls - I'm afraid it seemed to be from somewhere around 5000 miles east of my house! The bloke said they had information that someone on our phone number had had a car accident - a regular scam, I believe. I asked who had had the...

Hello Autumn. My laptop is 2 years old and has an extended warranty for two more years. I sent it to Dell last week because we too feel that the problem lies with them. As I said above, they reinstalled Windows 7 and added a new wireless card but this didn't work. I don't really think...

Hello PP Many thanks, indeed. That's a great recommendation and I think I'll give Devolo themselves a ring and have a chat about my situation. Mike

Hello everyone. We are near Slough and have our broadband from Sky, using a Netgear router. My wife and I each have a Dell Inspiron laptop and my son has a Novatech laptop. The quality and reliability of our internet broadband signal is hopeless in our Dell laptops. I'm currently in our...

Thanks Akimbo - I'd completely forgotten about PALS. I'd have contacted them first if I had! Milly, your practice's system sounds even worse than ours!

Many thanks for your replies. I must admit I di actually expect, if only by the law of averages, that someone would be at a practice which had the same policy but it seems that, on this straw poll, mine is unique. Vienna, I was going to use a quote like yours. However, I was going to use...

A new policy seems to have been adopted by our GP surgery. When you call for an appointment, and even if you go in to book it in person, the receptionist always now asks "What's the appointment for?"! Personally, I find this intrusive in the extreme, but they've obviously been told to do it by...

Ideal World have always, in my opinion, managed to sack the wrong people. They should have kept Lottie, certainly, and considered dumping any or all from Dennice, Shaun and Howard.
