    The Pope's presenting Vibrapower!

    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!

    Changes to Introductory Price

    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...

    Karcher guru, Derek, on QVC

    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.

    Gail Hayman Hour 08/12/15

    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.

    Leonie

    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?

    Genevieve

    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...

    An angry cold caller

    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...

    Poor Wi-fi internet signal at home.

    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...

    My GP Surgery

    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...

    Reflexology - any experiences?

    Hello everyone! Is anyone using - or has anyone used - a reflexologist? The reason I ask is that my 25 year old son has an illness which, after more than five years, remains largely undiagnosed. Having done an evening class briefly in reflexology a long time ago, and having a friend who...

    Should Brucie finish on Strictly?

    After Tess and Claudia's efforts on Brucie's recent week off, it left me thinking that he may have run his race on this show. Now, it may be a bit unbalanced having two ladies running the show but I thought Tess and Claudia did a decent job and it wouldn't break my heart if they took it on...

    Slimmed down IW presenters

    It may have been discussed here so I'm sorry if I missed it but my wife and I have noticed how all the presenters seem to have all go on a slimming regime together - and it seems to have worked for all of them. The same goes for the models Lynn and Sheila. Absolute fair play to them. I...

    Moira C. Aaaaaargh!!!

    My wife's just tortured me by making me watch half an hour of Moira C and her masterclass in nepotism. Thank God we can now watch a programme featuring someone balanced, quiet and sensible - House!!

    Angry 3 Mobile customer

    Morning everyone. Has anyone ever had a problem, or had to make a complaint, with 3 Mobile. My Blackberry recently developed an intermittent problem with its touchpad whereby it sometimes worked and sometimes didn't. I decided to take it to my local 3 store and they said it sometimes happens...

    Food that causes the most grief and suffering. . . . . . . . . .

    A medical practitioner was addressing a large audience in Oxford. "The material we put into our stomachs should have killed most of us, sitting here, years ago. Red meat is full of steroids and dye. Soft drinks such as coke corrode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. High...

    Carole

    My wife loves JM and there I was in front of the TV the other day when Carole came on the screen. Like most of the girls at JM, Carole seems nice, bubbly and enthusiastic but have you ever heard anyone acdtually speak so quickly?? Her words often merge into each other (like Shaun Ryan at IW...

    Renaming Ideal World?

    Wouldn't it make it simpler if IW was renamed "The Karcher Channel"??

    Vaporetto Bags??

    Hello everyone. My wife has bought several Polti products of one size or another. Once upon a time, she's sure that you could buy bags for them but now this seems impossible. Has anyone out there tried, and succeeded, in getting a decent bag for large and/or small Polti products? Thanks. Mike
