Hi there, does anyone out there cringe, like I did, at some of the presenters on that craft channel, I say did because I just cant watch it anymore. I am a serious crafter but the performances of some of them make me feel suicidal, well nearly.
They must be failed wannabe actors or bid tv rejects. I have been told that anyone who watches these shopping channels are sad individuals anyway, but I confess I have stopped momentarily ;) whilst scanning channels to see if there there was anything on sale which might interest me.
It's fine if you just want to grab a bargain, you order it then switch it off to avoid the waffling and monotonous diatribes about their family, parties they have been to, how clever their three year old niece is etc, we do not want to know this its, a shopping channel, tell us about the products, usually they dont know anything about the products they are selling, I suggest a little swatting up in their spare time might help instead of just staring in the mirror and talking to themselves endlessly!
On the craft channel we get phrases like "good crafternoon" or "I have just been to Majyorkshire" after the spell of good weather we have just had, he keeps repeating them continually as if they could be in any way funny, I call this guy Mr Cheese, he is so condescending and false it is criminal. He is so far up his own backside I often wonder how he manages to breathe. He makes me cringe. Can you spot who he is?
Does he really think he is funny? is his scriptwriter three years old? has he ever been sectioned? are those spectacles real or just worn to make him look intelligent? (they dont by the way!) these questions need to be answered.
Obviously I have no way of knowing what their salary is, even if they get one, but I am guessing it's just above minimum wage. If it was my company they would be signing on.
Last week I was flicking through the channels before I went to bed and saw a gazeebo on Ideal World which caught my attention, I watched for a while and in utter disbelief heard the presenter, one Andy Love, yes I think it's his real name, state that "if anyone out there was thinking of having an extension built...don't waste your money, buy this gazeebo it will save you thousands of pounds" is this guy real? is he told to say this? unbelievable isn't it? I was thinking of buying six of them to save me buying a new house!
I must say I think that guy is probably the worst presenter on the Shopping Channels, he makes fifty words do when three would suffice, is the word verbose? I just can't stand seeing his face never mind hearing him drone on and on and on and on hour after pitiful hour.
Anyway I got some of that off my chest but I have loads more.
