Nice to see Paper Dienamics is still going, he used to change his company’s names often

I think the company is actually called Collier and Paper Dienamics is just a brand for TV. I've bought a few bits and pieces from him and its good value. He's one of those marmite characters. But ultimately harmless. Though Nigel May did veer him off going into a 1970s poor taste joke a few weeks ago.

I saw the footage of the very well fed Sally Jacks feeding slop to poor kids with no means to escape. Surely they have suffered enough!

Couldnt even make out what food she was given them, looked like a piece of meat, you would buy in a pack.

She wasnt even using gloves, just placing it on there plate

I just saw the footage. To me it looks like they took a camera with Toilet Roll Head and stopped off at the nearest Indian school in a good area, and said something along the lines of…’Just pretend to eat this food and look desperate, then grin.’ The children featured looked far from starving. ‘Starving’ is what Michael Buerk featured in his 1984 BBC Ethiopian footage of children desperate for food. You could clearly tell those children were very near death through malnutrition. The footage that subsequently prompted the Band Aid, then Live Aid responses. Pardon the pun..but her constant use of this apparent action by the Channel to feed the hungry is completely unpalatable to me. Thankfully, the other preventers there avoid the issue to help to get a sale. or maybe she has copyrighted dealing with the issue during shows?

Those children were all extremely well dressed. As I said before, what about the meals in the UK?

TJC occasionally run their promo which features children in the UK. At the start of the Ukraine war they had footage of the meals they provided for the women and children who had to leave their homes. Try contacting either IW or TJC’s Press Office, I’m sure they’ll have up to date figures on how the scheme is run.

It posted something on facebook yesterday about being in India in her designer sack ( sorry dress ) & Jimmy Choo sunglasses you couldn't make it up

Mike worked with Jim Bowen

'Here's what you could have bought ...'

 

[Duke of Cheese]

What a desperate demo. Is reading what it does from the instructions book live on air part of the in-depth, rigorous preparation he tells us they all do?

Thanks, Hammy.
That’s actually really helpful. As I was typing the bit about Mathey-Tissot going under in the Quartz Crisis, I was wondering whether I’d actually read it, or just taken someone’s word for it.
So as things stand now, MT are essentially a microbrand, producing entry-level Swiss-made watches, but that’s far from being a Dog Poop brand.
I have a couple of Visodates from before the Powermatic 80 era - beautiful dials.

Yeah that's a good description, main bread and butter would be the entry level, but they have a few odd reissues of older models/designs that are a bit more expensive.

My blue Visodate is pre powermatic 80 too, it's 40mm as against the 42mm the newer ones with the powermatic 80, and has the ETA 2836-2. I have one gripe, although it's beautiful to look at, it hates having it's picture taken, absolute pain trying to get a good wrist shot to show the dial in it's full glory.

PS

Do you remeber teh Swiss Military Charmex 20,000ft divers that were flying out the door at £4,000 on IW2, then reduced to £3500 when they weren't selling?

Well Kevski is now trying to flog them off on the family web store for £1499. Hope he didn't buy a lot of stock of them.

That's funny, I called her that earlier today. Must be a coincidence because obviously he wouldn't demean himself by reading this forum...
