Random musings and general banter.

I can imagine Peter Simon as a stranger arriving in Rigsby's guest house, a fantasist who lies to everyone but somehow impresses Miss Jones. This would make Rigsby jealous but the newcomer gets his comeuppance when Alan and Phil see through him and expose him as a charlatan. Rigsby ends up kicking out the only character seedier than himself - Peter Simon.

After all, he often complains how damp his bedroom walls are.

Or they remake Rising Damp with Dirty Peter in the title role playing the seedy landlord living in a run down slum.

One line I remember from Rising Damp. Rigsby was sneering about the existence of the 'permissive society'. It doesn't exist he said, and I should know because I've looked for it. Always made me laugh.

If you can revisit the episode where Rigsby bets Philip he can survive without food for 24 hours for a fiver. It is pure mesmeric comic timing by the four main players. Such a brilliant show.

They have...It's on now...Pick of The Day to follow.

That bedding is awful, are they duvet covers or shiny eiderdowns?

I watched some Outnumbered last night, so funny especially as the children didn’t have a script half the time.

Apparently Outnumbered is coming back for Christmas as well as Gavin and Stacey

Peter Voulezvous - professor in thermal dynamics from the University of Buggleskelly.

Expert in how air moves around your room and the action of cooling fans on bits of ribbon stuck to them to demonstrate the directional flow of cold currents during heatwaves which haven't happened yet but may do any day soon so make sure you buy now you don't buy an umbrella when it's raining do you?

More crap about the watches. I think they've got a neverending stock of them. Pedro said they've had a lecture about being quite Pacific! about selling them at such a low price. Get them on your insurance, they are comparable with that famous Swiss brand! Bollocks.

I never watched Outnumbered at the time. I catch up with a lot of stuff I never watched then because I don't watch much current stuff.

But I did watch The Dropout, the recent drama about Elizabeth Holmes who was done for fraud in the medical profession. That was gripping and shocking in equal measure and based on real events.

Been told to wear gloves to handle this watch, but he doesn't know where he's put them. Limited edition of 250, and yet they have sold a few of them already. Breathtaking he says. For someone who owns a gold Rolex, he is acting like a lovesick idiot.

 

[Jazzydrury]

that’s only half of his shift finished

We're getting calls from Duchamp. What, at 10pm on a bank holiday weekend? Do me a favour.

 

[Jazzydrury]

By 2am he will be spouting more rubbish than ever

 

[Hammy60]

Brand new launched in April.

Yeah April 2021.

 

[Jazzydrury]

he is saying these watches will be handed down,

 

[Muttley]

I need new glasses, I genuinely thought that read "only half of his sh1t finished"

By 2am he will be spouting more rubbish than ever

I'll hopefully be in the land of nod by then...

Switch over to Ideal World, immediately greeted by Pedro's exposed hairy belly! What on earth is going on with him doing the late shift?

He's doing an 8 hour shift.

What a load of bollix,£2,000 and he's lost 2 inches around his waist.

 

[cheeky chappie]

I'll say again, viewers need to apply logic.

Selling a watch with an RRP of £700 for £80 or whatever it was.

SOooo, are you getting a watch genuinely worth £700 ... or could it possibly be worth closer to the £80 actually most likely less given they're retailing it at £80.

I suppose we just have to accept the ludicrous relationship between manufacturers and retailers around the RRP dance. Mind you, selly telly takes it to a whole new level.
