Random musings and general banter.

I used to watch QVC back in the day, bought a few bits and bob's and like Hammy, had a Kahuna watch. I preferred the DIY slot on Sunday mornings with Harry "safety first, diy second" Green. Sarah Green's dad iirc?
He used to make loads of mistakes and it was funny watching him try to cover up

Forgot about Harry on a Sunday, seem to remember that he ended up with someone else with him to do the demonstration when he became to old to do them himself. There was also some guy did gardening, but found him boring, definitely wouldn't have fitted in on IW.

On the watch with two 3v batteries showing, Shaun says, so two batteries in there, expert says yes. Actually it has three.

Oh well can excuse his mistake, he's only worked for them for a few months in Global sales and development, although think it's his Creative Universe Agency that he works for rather Electricianz directly. So i suppose that's why they've appeared on IW and in UK jewelers and online retailers lately, got an agency to puch the watches in the UK.

A blast from the past Debbie Pavers is on IW selling her shoes, haven’t seen her in years.

EG should be on now but it's a repeat of Mr Mulberry laughaminute Silk

Oh see the really handy key ring tool thingy.

Look really expensive, says Shaun, they're all alloy cases ya numpty.

 

[Hammy60]

First time i've heard alloy cases described as high tech materials.

Even a lot of the cheap Chinese watches on Ali have Stainless steel cases and bracelets. It's only once you get down to the £20 and under that they are all alloy.

See she keeps banging on about Macy's, just like shopping at Argos then
Meanwhile, I'm watching these muppets with my Cermit

Nice.

BTW my laughing reaction was for your Argos comment and not your watch.

I guessed that

 

[Hammy60]

Well, with that statement she just made about herself and her involvement in watch scene, she just confirmed she's the biggest crook out of all the guests.

That straps look more like plastic than leather.

I still use cash, all the shops (Co-op, Iceland, Tesco & Asda) round me still take cash.

And me, you can keep an eye on spending, not that I'm tight
That "socially distancing" tool thingy, looks like it would be worn around Gandalf's neck on a necklace

 

[Hammy60]

Well, have put on a blast from the past, a Kahuna bought from QVC quite a few years ago. Took it apart and gave the case a good clean up (under the bezel needed quite a bit of cleaning ), strap needed changing, so picked a spare Nato not quite a colour match though and put in a new battery, still working.

Yeah, some shops are really slow in processing card payments.

 

[ronzy75]

I knew that tool thingy was familiar, Emma's just reminded me

 

[ronzy75]

She's pushing a certain Danish brand, wouldn't be Skagen would it

 

[Hammy60]

Could be, in her bio she had a wee stint (18 months) working for Fossil group, she started at Fossil the same time as they acquired Skagen.

You know, i'm quite astonished at all these watch experts/guests, who all seemingly have years in the industry, but who's knowledge is very, very poor at times, although they are all expert con artists, and are really quite skilled at spouting rubbish and misleading info.

 

[Hammy60]

Ok time to switch off, Shaun's on about "me mam" again.

 

[cheeky chappie]

The multi-tool thingy doesn't look very 'multi' to me. They keep bleating on about opening doors. Doors with knob handles? Nope, won't work. Doors with handles that take a bit of effort to pull down? Nope, as you'd need a very strong wrist/grip to hold that little device and pull/twist to open the handle. Good for touchpads/screens? Yes I suppose so. Good for opening bottles? Yeah okay. But that's about it.
