Random musings and general banter.

Maybe exactly what they need?

I think it will be a challenge for him, IW3 is very different to C&C where he just had to be pleasant and explain practical products.

Now he has to talk up a lot of questionable "glamour" and "lifestyle" items which stretch credibility to the limit at times.

If I want a nap I'll switch to C&C because it is so dull, full of grey haired slightly plump ladies or gentlemen all getting excited about bits of card and glitter and storage boxes. I know there is much skill involved and at times it gets high tech with hugely expensive sewing machines and there is obviously a strong community. Nothing ever gets exaggerated or hyped. Big culture change for Yannis and I wish him well.

 

[Lord Helpus]

He is an extremely perplexing character above all. People with no apparent social media presence relaying all sorts of unsubstantiated fantasies (oxymoron)…are always interesting case studies..

What mystifies me is how in the age of Google he expects to get away with his outlandish claims of former fame.

Everything is verifiable, you can't invent your own history at least not in showbiz. Maybe it will be possible with AI in future but not right now.

He said, he is one of the new presenters

As we've seen before, it's not impossible he'll be a completely different type of presenter x months down the line ... and not for the better

Well Yannis is off to an easy start - he's selling cards with stickers!

 

[Jazzydrury]

His first item was Cards,

Anybody else getting a black screen

Anybody else getting a black screen

On tv yes but I’m watching online so hadn’t noticed

 

[Latearrival]

Our new presenters fav word is ASPECT

 

[Jazzydrury]

Those tags look good

 

[Jazzydrury]

Has he done not direct comparsions

 

[Jazzydrury]

He could send you asleep, at least on Create and Craft, you can focus on the guest

Depends if it is a ferocious enough chicken doing it to him.

 

[Jazzydrury]

Ooh it’s Gammon

 

[Duke of Cheese]

He seems fairly non-hysterical and articulate to me. An new aspect Ideal World could do well with.

 

[Muttley]

Ah…but is he there under a different name?

Good point, check if there's an account for Muriel Simon, could explain why he keeps saying the name

 

[Jazzydrury]

Yannis says I will never lie to you

I remember people saying similar when Jeramy first arrived and look what happened there.

 

[Jazzydrury]

Gammon comes with a freebie, is the freebie because they can’t sell it

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Two fried eggs and a tin of beans.
