    Ah, but you have to be a very special sort or person to talk for over an hour about a t shirt !

    They all drive me mad, especially the ones on the jewellery channels trying to sell jewellery with stones that no one has ever heard of before for ridiculous amounts of money. Who really believes that a ring can be reduced from £12000 to £399 ? There's one particular girl who makes me want to throw a brick at the tv when she's on. Don't know why i watch really, i've never bought anything ! Just to see how bad they are i suppose :) They usually manage to send me to sleep though so they do have their uses.

    Is just as bad any music is added to programs/films even radio and you can't hear what person said. I accept music adds to atmosphere if its done right but not same volume as some one is talking

    Oh I love em. Nothing amuses me more than Julie Peasgood gushing over the most hideous pair of shoes in the universe then saying they are "Bang on trend".

    Not sure where they are "bang on trend", perhaps at an over 80's bingo night maybe?

    They are hysterically funny. The comedy way the actors huff and puff over cleaning windows, BUT WAIT!! Theres MORE!!!!

    :rotfl:

    My personal favourite is one for the nicer dicer where the English guy says To MAY toes and granny's cigarette is blurred out. These things are generally comedy genius.

    Its also amazing how they can claim that a spreading of bean juice for example 30 seconds before cleaning it with a product is a 'stain' and express their amazement at how well the Stain Remover product worked.

    Cannot watch QVC/Ideal world after seeing this old clip.

    Does it ring any bells?
