Theres A Recession On, Can You Afford To Buy Anywhere Else?

CJ Lewis weekend starts the show. Chris feels groggy today as he went to bed last night at 10pm and kept waking up in the middle of the night. Add to that mix his feet are sore again and he feels hungover without the numbing qualities of any alcohol. Lizzie went out and bought some Day Nurse so proceeds to read the instructions on the label.
He had a haircut today because they were getting their photos taken, both portrait and as a team. The rule was that they were not allowed to wear black. Will has a frilly camp shirt number on him. All Chris did last night was iron clothes, wash dishes, watch Footballers Wives and then straight to bed. The team all deem him to be more domesticated.. He says that missing today's show would be a hardship for the nation so feels like a martyr. Lizzie asks for the violins. Dave comments that his haircut is now £8 and he gives a £1 tip.
Chris recalls about the conversation they had about a fortnight ago about Mikes Carpets. Phil Clarkson sent him in a flyer from Mikes carpets and reads the guff with the tagline There's a recession on, Can you afford to buy anywhere else?. He has 5000 roomsize carpets from just £24. Chris asks what size would you consider roomsize to be bearing in mind everyone's rooms are different shapes and sizes. Dave pees on his bonfire by saying he got his sofa second hand for £18 and his bed for £36 and it was delivered too, but then again this was in 1992 so prices have gone up since then.
Will has a quiz which he received via the wonders of email. He has nine common sense questions for the team. Here they are
1. How Long Did The 100 Years War Last?
2. Which Country Makes Panama Hats?
3. From Which Animal Do We Get Cat Gut?
4. In Which Month Do The Russians Celebrate The October Festival?
5. What is a Camel Hair Brush Made Out Of?
6. The Canary Islands Are Named After Which Animal?
7. What was George VI First Name?
8. What Colour Is A Purple Finch?
9. Where Are Chinese Gooseberries From?
ANSWERS
1. 116 years
2. Ecuador
3. Horses and Sheep
4. November
5. Squirrel Hair
6. Dog
7. Albert
8. Crimson
9. New Zealand
Chris doesn't like the quiz so he has one of them Situation twisters he learnt from his dad. I was going to write it but got confused and bored and so did Chris as he was receiving 20 emails a minute about it. Dave and Will even played out the situation as a role play but still couldn't get the answer. OK, Ill print it then.

Three old ladies go for a meal and a chat in a hotel, they get the Bill and it totals £15. The boss spots them and tells the waiter to only charge them £10. The waiter thinks to himself, yeah ill charge them £15 and keep the fiver. He has a change of heart and takes a pound out of each of the bills and he can keep the £2. But the problem is after he comes back he only has £1 left, Whys That? Personally I don't care and Chris says there isn't really an answer and Chris tells people to stop ringing about it. He says a fellow rang up and said he trying for 40 minutes to get through to tell him the answer. Chris says that that person just wasted 40 minutes of his life.
Craig in Harrogate sends an email about the world famous Mikes Carpets. He met Mike in a bank and he was 70's throwback with a knitted jumper that said hello on the front and goodbye on the back. That's a bit o' class. Chris plays a game of guess what show is on 11am on Channel 5. He finally says it was TJ Hooker and plays the theme tune. He then proceeds to play the theme tunes and Daves says a brief synopsis of the show. The list of the shows are as follows:-
TJ Hooker, Fall Guy, Dukes Of Hazzard, BJ and The Bear, ALF, Mork & Mindy, Hardcastle & McCormack and Fantasy Island. Dave says he loved Fantasy Island just for the dwarf. If Im bored Ill give a synopsis of those shows myself in this update if you really want to know.
Chris talks about the only GB medal hope in the Winter Olympics. They are so interesting that only Lizzie knew where it was being staged at. Chris has pulled commentary from BBC2 from the Skeleton, basically hurtling down a hill on a tea tray. Chris says before he plays the clip that the commentator sounds like Alan Partridge.
Chris complains to Lizzie for the bias script he had to read about Liverpool in tonight's TV. Lizzie predicts that Liverpool will win 4-1. Its live on ITV1 tonight. They talk about the biggest night of the musical calendar, namely the Brits. Chris feels sorry for Jay Kay because he never wins anything even though he buys fancy clothes and hats to wear and usually performs, as he is doing tonight with help from Anastascia. Dave wants Turin Breaks to win Best Brit Newcomer. Lizzie doesn't really like them but picks Blue. Chris comments on the long list of legendary winners including A1, Peter Andre and Tasmin Archer. Dave and Chris agree that Robbie will win Best Brit Male and ask who the hell Aphex Twin is. For Best Band they say Gorillaz will win but Dave wants Stereophonics to win. For Best Dance they say Gorillaz will win but they don't deserve it because the album was ok but not great. For Best Album they plump for Travis and count out Radiohead immediately because no-one has a copy. I had a copy but I gave it away. Chris tries Daves patience by saying that he owns none of the albums and that's it his sister who owns the Travis album and not him. They all agree that Dido will win Best Female.

Sat and today are up
