It must be part of the new normal

I haven't watched the video (am still struggling on through the Eurovision stuff on TV) but since adverts started saying stuff like "this is a difficult time for us all...", I have interjected with "Buy a Toyota!" - well it amuses the husband.

I fucking love it! We have never bought anything but it often provides moments of nuttiness. Tonight they moved on to thirty quid casseroles, then thirty quid chicken goujons! It’s mental.

When we first got freeview there was a thing called BidUpTv. The first time we tuned in there was some cunt flogging tat who was clearly E’d off his nut, pupils like a full moon, jigging about all over the screen and shouting “hardcore gabba!”every 10 seconds. Been hooked ever since.

And then BB1 started school and we got friendly with one of the mums, her husband was the MD of QVC, Frau Bahn and I just wet ourselves when we found out, think she was upset as most people were impressed, but we explained ourselves and he didn’t do a Ratner, though did acknowledge we had a point...They had to relocate to Paris and we sold them their Eurostar tickets.

Edit: they didn’t need to move to Paris cos of our mocking, QVC’s head office moved there from Battersea.

When we were growing up only posh people could afford the weekly Corona round.

I used to know a director on QVC. They used to give the presenters challenges of what word they could squeeze into their spiel.

Before I had these channels I used to make a friend put them on when I was at hers. As soon as I got all these channels at home I stopped watching them.

My favourite was when they claimed the piping at the edge of some shitty cheap mattress you see in 'slum landlord shops' would prevent you from falling out. It is a real talent of sorts to be able to waffle on enthusiastically for half an hour about a waterfall cardi.

edit: didn't quote, oops. Bahnhof Strasse

My mate used to work at Bid TV. Some of the presenters used to turn up completely off their nut as you saw. Some hid it better than others.

In the spirit of adventure I once mixed tea and coffee to see how it tasted - awful was the answer was it toffee or cea ? Also ordered a Guinness shandy in a pub in the same vein- I shall die a happy man knowing that I turned up some unturned stones on the brief journey to oblivion - happy to report the barman declared it a first.

There are more things in heaven and earth that are undreamt of in our philosophy.

A group of us got into an argument over which would float on what. Would Guinness float on lemonade or lemonade float on Guinness?

So with an understanding barman and two pints of Guinness shandy later, we had our answer.

The Guinness could be made to float on the lemonade in a cocktail style clearly defined layer

And throw away the key because the famous five were shit.

And not so "famous", either. For a bunch of super sleuthing, crime-busting teens there's sod all in the newspaper archives about them. Maybe they were later recruited for some shadowy govt agency and their past adventures were erased?

Yeah, that's one way to look at why he funded Khan Academy. A slightly fuller description would be 'free access to a high-quality capitalist educational agenda, with international reach, to small children who don't/didn't have access to any other information and whose parents didn't, either'.

I've used khanacademy for the maths lessons. They're excellent. Cant see how they promote anything but mathematics?

You haven't seen their other courses, then?

I've seen their science and engineering courses. I thought they were good.

And the computer courses, coding etc
.were good too. And for free.
