omg how much would it cost to hire one of those little planes to fly past the crappy bungalow with it written in the sky?

If only someone on twitter could say it to Jack (although she has no TV 😥 or wifi 😥 the poor smol pixie) but yes it is a great one isn't it?! One of the reasons I love my pal so much, she is very very blunt.

Andi owns the company which runs all those competitions and he's absolutely minted because of it. Bet he doesn't rent.

He also sells his own pies on QVC!

I thought he ran a modelling agency full of men's health type guys.

I wonder why itv doesn't own the company to so with the competitions and someone else creams it off? It's not exactly hard doing clips to say call this number.

I knew he did food shows on QVC (yeah I quite enjoy QVC, and what?) but I didn’t realise he had his own product range! He always looks like he’s having a laugh so good on him.

Think he has his fingers in lots of pies tbf, he's done a lot of producing too if irc, I absolutely LOVE Andi....unlike his broomcupboard pre-predecessor Phil. Who I loathe and then love, as he brought me to this particular corner of the Internet
 
Andi seems like a good example of someone that achieved fame and then made use of the open doors and connections. Unlike Jack who was unable to capatlise on any of it so carries on pretending to be poor.

She can hardly bemoan the connections people at the top private schools had when she had opportunities that weren't a million miles away from this.

Absolutely! xx

Fame. Fukt off. Did his thing behind the scenes....literally and actually completed it mate. Buffed up. Wears tight tee shirts on morning tele, quite often in holiday destinations, on the regular whilst raking it in.
Go on Mr Peters 👏
 
Vlad is on my Facebook now (even though I asked him politely not to track my internet activity) but which Georgia is he advertising? Oh well. Georgia is Georgia I guess.

Anyway. I had stuff to use up tonight and I thought I would see what it turned out like if you did use the oil from sundried tomatoes in a dish and fried it. Don’t try it troops. Frigging honking. I had to get rid of the oil and whack a lot of hendos in before I could eat it. Vile.

thankfully I have wine and chocolate to get rid of the memory. Completely disgusting. She’s a clueless twit.

edited to add. Part of the problem is that the oil has a very strong tomato smell and it’s really cloying. She said it would go well with eggs. No no no. I didn’t make it with eggs but it was honking. I can guarantee you that Monroe has never cooked any dish in sundried tomato oil. Not ever. Ever. Ever.

That was nice to see. I hadn't seen Andy since he was pushing the button in the CD factory the moment that years pop idol winner was crowned.

Apparently he owns the production company who make the ITV competition clips, the ones where you win £82000 and a campervan. Andy’s doing well for himself! And I’m glad to see it, he seems like a really nice man.

ETA: beaten to it by Clovis

I am a Russian-speaking Frau 🪆🔺 and the Georgia stuff has just reminded me of a time my parents came to visit me (I studied there) and I took them to a lovely Georgian restaurant which was the best ever, so much so my parents clapped and wanted to go back. So we went back a 2nd time. On the first night, Mum had asked for red wine and the owner asked what she liked, so she said merlot and he nodded and brought us a carafe from a barrel. The second time, she asked for tempranillo and he nodded again, and brought the same wine from the same barrel. He had a whole wine list and one barrel of wine, it was wonderfully farcical. It was some of the nicest wine I’ve had in Russia (some truly awful conpetition but it was genuinely lovely) so whatever it was, it was not a problem (advertising standards might not like it but I did) - and I’ve just drawn a connection with bouquet garni - perhaps as all herbs and all Georgias are the same, all grapes are the same?
