I dont usually get irrationally annoyed by people presenting TV programmes but while channel hopping recently I've alighted on something called the Gadget Show... theres a tall gormless character, a little guy in his 40's who acts like he's about 16 and a reasonably sensible woman who gives the appearance of pretending to think they are normal. I really hope its just me who is bemused by this ... I'll even go so far as to say that I'm cringingly embarrassed by it -- its like watching Harry Worth if anyone out there remembers him. These two loons are reviewing road bikes and racing them it seems, suspend disbelief for a moment and see if you agree.

Just had second thoughts about the title ...sorry :laugh:

That's two of us who remember him (funny or not :evil: )

Three. The shop window reflection sequence in the opening titles is permanently imprinted on my memory. And a convoluted plot involving Tring station....

I've been known to do it when nobody is looking:blush:

BTW Just to get this other isue of my chest Among the cutpurses, ragamuffins and guttersnipes of Crosby "the word which shall not be mentioned" is used as follows
" Oh Dear I sem to have t...... my finger with this hammer" or
" " Oh Dear, if I have another sherry I shall be completely t.......
I may well live in a different social strata to some but general usage is also pretty much what youngun says ie what fool/tit etc. The Ango Saxon roots are seldom considered, As it's gone without further posts I'll now shut up about it - however those blokes on the Gadget Show are without doubt "silly men":laugh:
 
Back on thread....

My kids watch it so I sometimes sit through it.

I think they are trying to be a bit of a Top Gear for electrical goods.
It all comes over as a bit geeky and they really do not pull off the fun element very well.
She is OK (which translates to I would give her one). Blokes are annoying. Problem the producers have is that you dont want a know-all presenter on a show like that so they put two blokes acting like idiots but getting the things to work so you think you can do the same.

I cannot get interested in gadgets for their own sake. I really only care about the end result. They call a laptop "sexy" on there! I really dont want anything unless it does something better than I do it now. About 95% of the stuff on there is pointless junk.
