Random musings and general banter.

Geesh you'd think square pans were a new invention.

Funny how they are quick to point out more cooking area with square pans, but they never tell you that round pans have 25% less cooking area.

He must be the messiest cook on TV.

'the first time these pans were on, they sold out in 30 minutes'

Really? That takes some believing

Yeah, but you have to remember that on Ideal World, time, or any kind of measurement, works differently to the rest of the known Universe.

Can Rob Locke not actually move?
Seriously, would you choose him to represent your brand?
Why did the Americans send him back?

Pity you didn't take to a watchmaker/repair place, they might have got it working again if it was mechanical or even been able to replace the movement if it was a quartz.
I've had a couple of my late dad's watches for the last 30 years, he wore them in 70s and 80s and both are still working, neither has any real monetary value, in fact cost of keeping them going is more than they are worth, but they have sentimental value which out-ways any costs.

Sentimental value is priceless.

I should still have it somewhere lying around. I would love to get it going again, as it was a beautiful watch. And now he is no longer here, 2008 from lung cancer, I think it would probably make him happy in Valhalla.

Is Rob Locke back from filming that didn’t take long.

Its Simon Lies, who probably is telling lies tonight, as he is saying £99.99 Beldray Carpet Washer is great, he will then sometime sell something simular 3 times the price saying it’s the best

Because that's what Beldray do, copy other designs, they excel at that in China.

The old Beldray may have been innovators but this new incarnation just make cheaper copies of products that other companies have made.

£699 not really an IW price!

 

[Jazzydrury]

Rob Locke has just admitted to some of the stuff shopping channels sell is a load of poop poop.

He said the thing with shopping channels, you aren’t always selling something which is top notch

 

[Hammy60]

Yeah, but not a lot of storage though.
but remember, as i said the other day, when they are selling the cheaper notebooks, they keep telling us that most of us don't need or use the higher specs of these more expensive machines.

In technology terms, he's actually quite right. Although he's really spoiling the show as he getting way off topic for that machine, think Grant is a bit embarrassed by him, all Rob Locke this Rob Locke that.

The machines IW sell are really just for folks surfing the internet etc and playing some games.

I get my PCs from PC Specialists, you can customise your machine to your needs.

Agree there with Grant, would never buy a touchscreen laptop or PC, who want fingersprints all over a screen, bad enough on a phone or tablet, but to hell with that on bigger items.

 

[Hammy60]

Rob - "what did you say the storage was."

Grant - "512 GB"

Rob - "wow, if you want to know if that's a lot, i've got a GB which is double what this has got, in my current computer it's only a 256 GB drive and managed in 3 years to get up to about 70GB, it's very hard unless you've got a lot of video."

Grant - " I have my current laptop for I believe 8 years, and it has 128GB of space, now i have filled that up, but i do video editing, audio production."

I think he meant to say TB not GB.

Anyway, what bunch of amateurs, the way Rob Locke was speaking earlier thought he must be a big user of his PC with all his video editing etc, but he's only filled up 70GB in 3 years.

Geesh, just on the PC i'm using at the moment (not counting one in room next door), it has 4 Hard drives, with over 1.7TB stored on them and another 1.5TB free, heck one 45 minute program recorded in HD from IW takes up about 5GB, and the programs recorded from IW for ASA takes up 84GB in size.

And now the Beldray spin cleaner looks like a cheap version of the Aircraft Powerglide that IW also sells.

Oh I wonder if IW watch sales will be hit with a new retailer, for VE, Mathey-Tissot, Traser etc, opening up in the UK on the web.
I'm assuming it's Kevin Reynold's son, Chris Reynolds (and his wife) who has started Just4Watches ltd last month, the business address is the same as Kevin Reynolds Watchbase ltd, maybe Kevin is about to retire and pass the mantle onto his son, but unlike Kevin, Chris Reynolds is selling direct to the public.

They've a sale on at moment, although only VE watches in stock, but prices are a wee bit cheaper than IW's show prices.

That Matebook show, ended up not being about the item by the end.

It just seemed to be Grant and Rob discussing computers in general. With the odd look from Grant thinking Rob what are you on about

 

[Nellykins]

Just heard Jack say, he Demos at Harrods at Christmas,

I'm actually surprised that Jack isn't barred from Harrod's. Whenever he's trying to flog a rotisserie oven he always slags their £22 rotisserie chickens off as being a rip off.

 

[Nellykins]

He must be the messiest cook on TV.

if you're talking about Jack then he'd definitely the greediest. Always shoving a whole roast potato in his gob.
