Random musings and general banter.

Don't forget their upcoming BIRTHDAY DEALS, the king of deals awaits :mysmilie_13:

Bet they're just the bliddy same as ever :smirk:

I bought something once on easy pay and after 3 months someone knocked the door to ask for it back! When I asked why, they said because I hadn't paid for it! I reminded them that the presentation said that after 3 months, it would pay for itself - then promptly shut the door - Ha. :mysmilie_59:

I saw the trailer for their 15th birthday specials with all the presenters. But I didn't see Peter Simon on it! Unless I missed the beginning or sonething, how could they exclude a mega star like him?

Ah yes, I've seen it now, with a lovely smile on his boat race :wonder: Pope must have been visiting the vicar that day

The invite has a little present attached, if I share my email address with them, they will pass it on and I will get bombarded with guff, nice/typical little touch

All I saw in my emails was "Ideal World Birth........" And promptly deleted it :mysmilie_14:

Perhaps Peter had blown one of his legendary super smelly mega-farts.

I don't feel very well...

Oh no! My dinner is about to come back up!! uke:

I found it funny that as soon as the guest took peter simon to task about pronouncing ''torricelliumn'' (excuse the spelling please), he managed to say it perfectly for the rest of the hour.... funny that.

she really seemed to not have any of his sh#t. It was amusing.

IW has been on air for 15 years.It astounds me. It's worse now in terms of everything. Presenters, items, customer service. Not one thing has improved in 15 years,and they brought back that Andrew Bernard? Scraping the bottom of the barrel doesn't begin to describe that move.

 

[mr tom]

Saw Hayley presenting a holiday/cruise show and was shocked.

I thought it was Shaun Ryan's ''thing'' to present. I'm sure he sees it as that.

Maybe I'm being cynical again.

 

[cazzie]

I've seen Hayley present quite a few cruise shows also Paul Becque and Genevieve and I think Andy Love also.

Stop press, Pope Pete is selling Thomas Kinkaide, he is wearing his bow tie and talking cobblers as usual "I adore it because it creates a moment of imagination". "When you are alone, and friends don't listen, you can look to the light" And there is harp music in the background! Not watching properly, just clicking over in adverts. My elderly mum says she honestly doesn't know how he can say all this nonsence without laughing.

 

[historymystery]

Darn it, missed it! Wonder how you can "be alone" while "friends don't listen"? Seems contradictory, so perhaps best not to dwell on it, as the logic is known only to Pope Pete. When the heck will they come to the end of Kinkade? They must have 6000 warehouses stuffed full with it...where is it coming from, if the artist is no longer alive? I should think the whole world (and inhabitants of outer space, too) have a Kinkykade, as it's on so often and also available for about £3.00 for sale at other online auction websites. Seems mighty peculiar to me... Still, I'm sorry I missed not only the heavenly harp, not only the bow tie, not only the cobblers being talked, not only the hands together in prayer, not only the simpering and smirking. Did Our Bet get a mention? Must go, got to dust my Kinkykade print...

Ha ha you are as funny as Peter spouting rubbish in a bow tie! He didn't mention Our Bet but I was watching Hoarders on CBS Reality and just watched in the adverts. And my mum always comments that there are a lot of pictures available by a dead artist. They must churn them out by the dozen. They were really gross today, a picture of an 18th century type cottage and he spoke of Tudor beams! Just a couple of hundred years out.

Didn't realise they were that cheap on the internet. Pete reckons they are sought after and exclusive!

 

[Turandot]

Are these real paintings. Or prints of his old paintings. They are pretty dreadful either way. I have wondered who is churning them out if he is dead.

Good question Turandot, probably prints but I don't know for sure as I don't listen properly as I can't stop laughing at Peter selling them. I love the reverential tone and the bow tie, you would think he is selling the Mona Lisa!

Update - just looked on Ebay and they had one of his prints for 99p, a couple of quid p+p and no bids! I think it was a Disney style picture, good luck if you get it! Pete was selling his at a couple of hundred quid and urged us to buy if we were able to"
