Haven't seen Paul for months with him not doing craft anymore, but, as much as I am loath to agree cos I prefer not to post negatively, I watched the 9pm & 11pm shows on Tuesday night & he was awful. He's never been one of my fave presenters, but either I've forgotten his antics & manner or he's got worse. At one point he came round the counter & kissed the camera, & poor Jodie was left a bit stunned behind him. It was painful to watch - not even so bad it's entertaining car crash TV, it was plain old bad.
Apologies to Jodie - as Dax says, it was only cos it was Tonic & Jodie that I kept watching, but I couldn't give it my full attention cos it was so bad.
I saw the HD launch the week before, it was the first time I'd seen that presenter & his name escapes me now, but he wasn't so bad, he was just more of a hard sell that I think we're generally used to on C&C.

When peeps become manic I wonder whether they are painfully aware that the management are looking at who they need to keep and who needs to go. There have been quite a few changes recently so it must make you feel vulnerable.

It was the way he kept shouting 'CRAFTINATOR' that got to me. I recorded all the shows yesterday and watched them last evening. In comparison to the 'Paul' shows I thoroughly enjoyed the others including Howard and Joanne.
I haven't got over the embarrassment of watching him at the CHA show in the US in 2014.... *cringes*. So glad he's on IW and not C& C any more.

I was puzzled why they sent him in the first place. What he knows about crafts you could write on a postage stamp!

Always look on the bright side, if you can't find it then polish up the dull side.

Unfortunately I see Paul is presenting tonight's POD - Tattered Lace. Obviously Ideal World think he sells their products!! Unless he's been told to turn down his shouting - I shall tune in to see and very hastily switch him off if not!!
Last night I watch Jodie & Dawn on with the craftinator and really enjoyed it. It made it so much harder to resist buying the framed sentiment set. I really love the frame with the butterfly. Would be perfect for mother-in-laws 95th birthday card in a couple of weeks. Too late if I wait for it on general sale, oh decisions.
I'm wobbling! It is on flexipay!
Go for it Dax - its a very special birthday - my ex M-I-L died just a month before her 95th - 18 months ago - we still remained close after her son did the dirty on me. She always told me I was the best daughter-in-law he gave her! She had a further two after me!
She lived in Birmingham but towards her end I would travel up every month to stay with her and give her some care - her sons certainly didn't. On my last trip I took her birthday card early as I felt she wouldn't make it - she loved it. She was so desperate to go and meet up again with her husband - so it was a blessing for her. I have lovely memories of her and just glad now that she's where she wants to be.
Make yours something special - you never know when you are going to lose them. Its only money after all - !!!!!!
