Bargain Hunt

We were were chattery about the tw@ttery last November.

Reg:
Strict Natasha has her BH rule book. She's loving it. That striped top suits here.

Roo with a big beaming smile says she's Grumpy.

That Dummy's other part will be activated after Roo handles him.

Roo confesses to having many vices. Gulp.



The Blues were soft like butter after the shop. Surely hard as solid oak like the Workbench.

She might buy something naughty just for fun. Cough. Splutter.

The Dummy is willing to be taken for a straight 69. Roo's wearing her Purple Boots. The Dummy's Arms fall off in excitement.



Another large Distractee. They certainly find them.



Foghorn Auction. Lordy. She loves all things French. Yoikes!!!!!

Workbench as a central kitchen island. What!!!! Really!!!!

Roo dressed like a Trolly Dolly.

Blues on first. Something's afoot.

Bids on the sheets.

Roo's showing off her large dark pussy.



For once they were spending at a Foghorn Auction.

Moog:
My word CH is godawful. Absolute torture

Guy:
You've got to wonder if she hams things up just because the TV camera's are there

She is woeful as an expert and an auctioneer

Reg:
She actually started off her appearances in earlier series well. She was much quieter and dressed more subdued. However, at some point, she must have gone on a course or hired a media advisor who suggested shouting and dressing loudly, would raise her profile, and get her better paid work.

Moog:
Madley and the Reds played very well. Good work gentlemen.

Reg:
Some great Jug fondling today.



Hail Hawley!!!



Tomorrow, Roo demonstrates her skill at breathing new life into a clapped-out old banger. There's hope for us all!!!



OT78:
arf!

Tash talks truncheons and handcuffs. Golly.

Great box. (The Reds' lot, not Tash's.)

Vg ep. And bravo Madders! (A rate ejaculation.)

Tash in cell in stripey top!
Presumably swag bag and mask taken by desk sergeant.

Accomplice still at large...



Reg:


Looks almost like a Bath Robe.

Harrogate 17
Series 61
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001577s
Natasha Raskin Sharp and experts Richard Madley and Roo Irvine join the teams as they look around Harrogate for the best items to sell at auction. Natasha has a brush with the law as she learns about the first police officers in Ripon and the criminals they would have had to face.

The Translation:
Today we're off to the mean streets of Harrogate. Strict Natasha Raskin Sharp is in her element walking around a Police station in crime-infested Jack-The-Ripon to lock up any BH miscreants. Pay attention to your challenge or suffer the consequences, bondage awaits. A call for assistance is fulfilled by the always delightful and purple-booted Roo Irvine and Hirsute countryphile, sports mad D1ckko Madley not Madeley. The Auction is in the Universe's Tat Central aka Beverley Racecourse Auction Rooms, no Kock and Balls on the wall this time, presided over by Jericho Supersonic The Dredged Bog Hawley. God she's an awful auctioneer, she bellows twenty pooouunnnds, like a demented Victor Meldrew. She really doesn't know or understand how to work a room. Appalling.

The Staff:
[Gaffer] Strict Natasha Raskin Sharp
[Red Team Expert] Sportsmad Richard Madley not Madeley
[Blue Team Expert] Delightful Roo Irvine
[Auctioneer] Caroline Foghorn Hawley, pooouuunnnnddddssss thump
[Auction Location] Beverley, East Yorks
[Miserlin Rating] Approved

​

The Teams:
[Red Team] Retired Brit South Indian Brothers, one who is Cabin Crew, Oldie Airways? (BBC BAME box ticked).
(Challenge: Modified or repurposed)
[Blue Team] Retired pilot and retired gas engineer on a mobility scooter (BBC Disability Box ticked), The Diversity counter goes into overload.
(Challenge: Hand decorated)

The Shopping:
Reds: 19th Century Indian silver-plated box (10) very good, George III Mahogany inlaid tea caddy (150) there is interest she booms, Vintage decorated saw (15 Challenge) good.
Blues: Pair of re-purposed enamelled medical jugs (20) good, Big ceramic pot (75 Challenge) oh gosh, Solid oak workbench with vices (95) oooohhhh she shouts.

The Distraction:
The Distraction is all about Human Bondage and what Plod gets up to. Handcuffs, truncheons, tying people up, all forms of punishment and humiliation await any contestant who fall fouls of BH law. Tash demonstrates what being banged up inside entails, later she wonders round an old police station. Being in a confined space, basically a human cage, is great practice for the Bondage and Bucky dinner parties she has planned after the latest batch of filming.

​

The Auction:
Reds: 19th Century Indian silver-plated box (good profit), George III Mahogany inlaid tea caddy (good profit) GG incoming surely, Vintage decorated saw (big profit) GG attained.
Madders BB is a Novelty metal biscuit tin (24), 20-40, 35. Nice work Madders.

​

Blues: Pair of re-purposed enamelled medical jugs (nice profit), Big ceramic pot (big loss), Solid oak workbench with vices (largish loss).
Roo's BB is a pierced metal cat tea-light holder (10), 20-40, 10. It wipes it's face. Unlucky, it should have made a profit.

​

The Aftermath:
Beware, quirky seems to be the buzzword of the day. Quirky doesn't usually mean profit. Tactile is also used, as the contestants parrot out the cliches. Upcycled, that's another one. I like a vice, says Team Blue. I have many of those laughs Roo in her Purple Suede boots. Eyebrows rise among other things. Pantaloons stiffen. A Jericho Auction in deepest Yorkshire is not the place you expect money to be spent and a Golden Gavel attained. For one team the usual result here, bugger all, and the other team the opposite, bugger me sideways. Roo, dressed like a Trolly Dolly, she had her lovely purple boots on earlier, with her Blue Team on first, which usually means something's going to happen. Their re-purposed jugs made a nice profit and continuing the jug theme the large one made a big loss, and then there was another loss with the workbench which Foghorn thought could be an amazing central island for a kitchen. Really! Roo's cat tea-lighter failed to ignite the bidders and it only brole even when it should have made more than the tenner it was bought for. Roo's face-wiping pussy was not what we expected. Blues end 44 GBP down. Next, it was the turn of Madders Reds, and the disruption in viewing order suggested good things. Indeed, profits on all the items including the BB and the risky Georgian tea caddy, and a big profit on the decorated saw, means the Golden Gavels are broken out and the Reds look forward to a 96 note bonanza. A near 3-figure profit and GGs. Great work Madders, a Masterclass in the Temple of Profit Doom. Very enjoyable episode. Tash and Roo both looked great, 2 good sets of lively contestants, good to see a feisty wheelchair user, and a Foghorn Auction with a large profit and Golden Gavels, what's not to like!

​

The Hi-Kick:
Outside diagonal Covid kick., in the wind, bad camera angle hindered by a mobility scooter, partially obscuring Roo and her legwear. Generally a decent kick with 90 degrees generally reached. The highlight though was Tash giving us a lovely head kick Growler. Yes, YES!!

​

 

Great day.
Top BH, defeats last night for PSG and MK Dons, and yet more farce at Westminster.
Plus the sun is finally out in force here in France, and i saw my first beach bird in a bikini of the season.
Plus French telly showed this after lunch, in glorious restored HD. After 'Dr No: can you tell what it is yet?

 

Don't forget The Blue Max.



The Destiny Angel Puppet in Captain Scarlet was also based on Ursula Andress. Lucky Captain Scarlet.

 

Let's try again:
The Destiny Angel Puppet in Captain Scarlet was also based on Ursula Andress. Lucky Captain Scarlet.

 

Urgh, the Squeak, holding some skip glass and making a noise like a horse.

He's in full Squeaky Squawky mode.

Postman Red Team.

And BAME BLue Female team.

Rabid Lee Auction. So it's going to be bad.

Boo says Bawley foe the Reds. Rick Wakeman for the Blues

This is all very underwhelming.

With a handleMade from a cast or mould.

Shutup Dustbin Dan. Terrible squawky narration.

I really like this Caroline says Red Bloke. It's a suicide vest ready for her to put on and try out.

Hawley looking blank. She really hasn't a clue.

Unusual = horrible

Unusual French vase for unusual French citizens.

Is that chair moulded or just mouldy?

Yes, just carry on until the time runs out and you have to drink the Kool AId.

Bawley sprints, sort of, about 2 metres.

Jerry can bought. Jeez. Another skipware item.

Is that slow-hanclapping I can hear in the audience.

Is it a Mouseman they ask the Dealer, his hands still dripping with glue.

Haha squawks Dustbin. Shut up.

Think about the price now think about where the Auction is. National Union of Miser Central.

The Squeaks mystery item is a Squeak catcher aka Fly catcher.

He spreads disease.

He mentions Dung. It's Shiiiiit Daniel, literally, like this episode.

He explains how a Flycatcher works.

Next time it will be Spycatcher, also skip-rescued.

One of the Blues lived in Hamburg. Dis she attend the Reeperbahn? Was she in the Reeperbahn?

Some total rubbish items today.

Costume jewellery now. Sigh.

Hello another Daisy brooch shown, like the other day.

 

'You might need two!' [chairs] says cheeky Bluebird to lardarse Colin.
And she's proved right, ha.

 

Billy Bailey is one of the dealers today.



Like Blue John, the best things are purple says the Dustbin. Indeed it is. Shame there's no reason to get it out today.

As it's a Yorks auction, your best chance is 75 for the big spend and 3 other items of 5 notes or less.

Lordy, Foghorn chokes the life out of that phallic sugar sifter. Pity her hubby John.



Reds buy large blue glass weird vase, WWII jerry can, sugar sifter.

I'm thinking .... says Jericho, you can see the tumbleweed moving around in the empty space in her head.

Blues buy plastic chair, moss agate trinket box, chinese figures.

Spitoon Lee undervaluing as usual.

Any positive vibes have been drained from Lee's dribbling fanged mouth.

This is going to be terrible.

Has The Squeak gone to the same outfitters as Hawley?



That terrible weird vase. Loss.

Jerry Can. Loss.

Tenner made on the sifter.

Hawley BB is a silver bangle.

 

Oh yeah. RIP Steve Albini. I think he would have hated BH but would appreciate our deconstructive comments here.

 

Bring out the Auction Dead. Woman on the front row can barely bring herself to watch. What a miserable bunch.



Profit on Jericho's bangle.

7 note loss overall.

Blues lose on the chair.

1 note Yorks profit on that trinket box.

Big loss on the Chinese figures.

Rick's BB now.

It's a stool on a big screw thread. That could cause some damage.

The mother of all gapes from that.

Crank shaft and disk brake stool.

It makes a tenner. They punch the air like they've scored a last-minute winner in the Cup Final.

Blues -57.

What a poor episode. Terrible host, terrible experts, terrible auction, boring teams. Chalk and cheese to yesterday.

I know what you're thinking says Dan. I don't think you do, you Squeakbusting skip dweller.

An episode not to live long in the mind.

I've actually just forgotten about it.

 

We did comment about it before in last Sep. Intriqued as to what was said before .......

Reg:
Standby for your ears to explode and your eyes to run red with blood. It's Foggy and Compost.

Foghorn's make up has evaporated in the heat.

Dustbin Dan, Lord of the Flies.

It's POUNDS not POUND FFS.

Rob Lee on Auction Duty. Pleeeeaaasssseeee!!!!

Blue Bird worked in Hamburg for 12 years. Oh yes, down the Reeperbahn?

This is going to be a dreadful auction.

More Yorkshire miserliness. Rabidlee spitting for Britain.

Terrible. They got scrap value for the sifter.

Decent Foghorn Bangle.

Psychedelic shirted Squeak.

Those figures were rubbish. Colin should have spotted they were repros.

Entertainingly strange episode.

Moog:
My goodness, Danny is a terrible host.

Star of the show today has to be Colin's spray on jeans!

Pretty sure I can make out his hallmarks through them



Reg:
Yes. LOL. Mid-life crisis?

Hallmarked for Prickwillow in Cambs.

Moog:
I missed the first couple of buys, but from what I saw, the experts today made most of the choices.

Danny is insufferable. Might even be worse than Hawlway

Reg:
Hawley gave them the thumbs up, then she agreed they should buy them.

They make a diabolical duo.

The look Rabid Lee gave on hearing what was paid for the discarded IKEA plastic chair was classic.



The usual OAP day excursion, they look like a barrel of laughs. The bloke/woman on the front row, is about to pluck out their own eyes rather than spend a tenner. Yorkshire! Yorkshire! Yorkshire!

Wetherby 10
Series 66
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001q85w
Danny Sebastian presents the show from the Great Wetherby Racecourse Antiques Fair in West Yorkshire. Helped by experts Caroline Hawley and Colin Young, the red and the blue teams go head-to-head to see who can buy the most profitable items to sell at auction. Meanwhile, Danny has an intriguing mystery item to perplex fairgoers.

The Translation:

Ah, today's Auction is with Rob PLeeASE at the Sheffield Auction Scaffolds where the Brassnecked Misers oversee the hanging of profit, Pinchnips at Banging Shylock. Best get the Spitoon ready for Rabid Lee. It was always going to be somewhere crap.

The Staff:
[Gaffer] Danny Smoke Alarm Sebastapol Sebastian, glass shatters along with any hopes
[Red Team Expert] Caroline Aural Apocalypse Hawley, premiering an exclusive from her Cacophonic Discentree range
[Blue Team Expert] Colin Rapido Young, non-Rick Wakeman variant
[Auctioneer] Rob Rabid Lee, he rabidly foams at the mouth during bidding
[Auction Location] Sheffield Auction Galleries
[Miserlin Rating] One Star

​

The Teams:
[Red Team] Male Postie Friends, they'll be late delivering no doubt
(Challenge: With a Handle)
[Blue Team] Best Female Friends Export Sales Coordinator and Purchasing Professional, 2 long work titles, the longer the title the less important the job. One of them worked on the Hamburg Reeperbahn for 12 years. I'm surprised she can still walk.
(Challenge: Made from cast or mould)

The Shopping:
Reds: 1960s French blue glass vase (45) struggle, WWII Jerry can (20 Challenge) topend, 1937 Viners Sheffield silver sugar sifter (75) good.
Blues: Moulded plastic chair (33 Challenge) might struggle the look Spittle gives LOL, 1911 Birmingham Victorian moss agate silver trinket box (34) good, 3 Chinese figures garniture de cheminée (75) ouch.

The Distraction:
Meanwhile, Dogwhistle Dan has an intriguing mystery item to perplex fairgoers. Here's a mystery, how does a car boot jockey, dressed as a Rag and Bone Chimneysweep who's been on the Helium, get a prime presenting slot on a top Daytime BBC show. Answers to BBC Diversity, Woke Wigwam Commune, Leafy suburbs, Greater London (close to some good schools). Meanwhile, Helium Boy describes his favourite fantasy. "There's a small hole on the top, and there's a big hole underneath and there's three little legs to allow it to stand. What could it be?" Yes, it's a pig on a stool. Squeal like a pig squeaks the ungreased wheel.

​

The Auction:
Reds: 1960s French blue glass vase (largish loss), WWII Jerry can (small loss), 1937 Viners Sheffield silver sugar sifter (small profit).
Foghorn's BB is a 1965 silver bangle (15), 20-30, 28. Considering it's in the middle of miser county, that's good work for a decent item.

​

Blues: Moulded plastic chair (largish loss), 1911 Birmingham Victorian moss agate silver trinket box (1 note profit), 3 Chinese figures garniture de cheminée (large loss).
Ricks's BB is a Car disc brake and crank shaft upcycled Art stool (90), 50-100, 100. It Squeaks a tenner. A profit on the Planet of the Niggards is a result.

​

The Aftermath:
Seems like this latest series is revisiting some of the older, ropier Auctioneers. Last week it was Aha Partridge and today it's Spittle Lee in Sheffield. 2 Auctioneers at the lower end of the spectrum in 2 areas noted for their miserliness, the South-West and the current location of Pinchpenny Central, Yorkshire, home of the Northern Scrooges. After we suffer The Squeak reading his cards during the valuation like a stage struck rodent at the school nativity, we get Spit The Lee gawping in shock at how much was spend on the items. How ya feelin' greets Dustbin Dan to both teams in his best Sally Gunnell. Worse by the time the Auction ends, no doubt. Foghorn's Reds make a largish loss on the large glass vase, while their next 2 items cancel themselves out with a small profit and loss. The nifty 1960s silver bangle BB makes a decent profit and the Reds end with a small loss of 7. A big win in Yorks. Rick Young, wearing his tightest Thrushtastic Prog pants, showing us he's got the groove and it's all it's cracked up to be, his Blues get sunk with the discarded IKEA chair and some figurines which he should have spotted as being modern repros, perhaps his tight jeans restricted oxygen to his brain. The nice moss agate box makes a Yorkshire profit, 1 note, and his interesting Art School Stool makes a tenner but it's not enough to stop them finishing on minus 57. About par for this neck of the woods.

​

The Hi-Kick:
Standard indoor kick. Ooooof, Jericho gives us an enormous Growler kick. Definitely Red for Danger. The Squeak does likewise and gives us an unsettling view of his sweaty crotch. Both Red Posties gives us good above par kicks, all that booting of parcels and leaping over garden gates pursued by angry dogs has come in handy, while Blue women just about hit par. The one who worked in Hamburg for 12 years has probably lost ALL of her elasticity and so struggles, while Colin Wakeman has had a chance to change his trousers, otherwise he would've barely, literally, got his foot off the ground. Yes, YES!!

​

 

Awful episode today. Spittle Chin and Colin not enough to counterbalance Squeak and Foghorn

 

I must admit I derived more pleasure re-reading the report and the comments than I did from the actual episode today. I'd forgotten about Colin's eye-watering trouser attire. Great spot from your good self at the time.

 

Daughter Kirsty would need the full set. Burp.

 

Look at these three youngsters by the door. Probably there to spend their pocket money on a few collectable footie stickers before they ride home on their BMXs.

 

Some days I'm so pleased to be on the 1-2 lunch break at work. Today was one of them.
A five minute review of your postings tell me all I need to know.

 

Here's a film I've never seen:

Stateline Motel (1973)



Description: After robbing a jewellery shop in Canada, two Americans arrange a meeting near the US borders in order to split the loot. One of them has an accident with his car on his way there and gets stuck in an isolated motel until his car is fixed. The owner of the motel, a sexy woman in her thirties, falls in love with him, but her suspicions about him begin to multiply, as the police arrive at the motel.

Decent cast leading Italian actor Fabio Testi, Eli Wallach famous for playing Tuco in The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, and 2 cracking Bond girls.

Revenge, lust, greed and jealousy. Just like your average episode of BH.

 

Great find, Reg.
And what a cover.

imdb keywords hitting the spot too...

 

Calling all Nico fans.

Here's another I stumbled across:

The Inner Scar (1972)



Description: A composition of symbolic, surreal and almost mystic images.

Time to pass the drugs around.

 

This just came up in my facebook

 

I'm too modest to really comment, but as you can see, I was distracted.

 

Been looking ahead on I-player (as you do), a couple with Hawley, Bliss and Cooper (the d1ckensian law firm), interspersed with a couple of new Dizzie episodes (Oh Yes!), with Rosco and Daygo (oh no), Then this special.. Can the presence of Roo rescue this title?

 

Foghorn struggling with 25 inches. Cough.

Yes, your experts are the last thing you need.

 

I always have profits in mind.....hahaha from tragic cooper

 

Wokesfuhrer thinks Nazi gold may be accrued later.

Not from Team Carloss.

Red Bloke is clapping like a Eurovision fanatic.

Amazing, we can't believe it says Foghorn. Neither can we.

GG for Kate and Blues. Anti-GG for Carloss and Reds.

Fluke Yeti BB for the Reds, Trilly Masterclass for the Blues.

It was a nice Red BB and deserved to do well but the rest of their items were pure tat or high overspends.

Very annoying Reds, didn't deserve to go home with cash. Pleased for Blue Nurse who seemed to be struggling with low self-esteem issues.

 

Cracking ep today.
Some super spots among the items, zesty display from the fortune-telling Wokesfuhrer, and Carloss Wispa does a BB dance because, for once, his feat was not guilty.

 

BBC approved preamble:
Westpoint Exeter 20
Series 68
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001z0tw
Two teams of friends race around a huge antiques fair in Devon, guided by their experts Ben Cooper and Kate Bliss. Two teams browse hundreds of stalls at a huge antiques fair in the cathedral city of Exeter to buy three items to take to auction. On the red team, friends Ellie and Chris and their expert Ben Cooper take on old school pals Nic and Caroline, aided by Kate Bliss. Ellie’s on the lookout for small items, while Chris reckons he’s good at getting a deal. Meanwhile, Caroline’s after ‘bling’, while Nic’s hidden talent is juggling! The reds are in their element when they find a stall of uranium glass. Meanwhile, the blues consider snapping up a combination compact in the form of a camera. As the hour ticks down, presenter Caroline Hawley quizzes fairgoers over the identity of a claw-shaped mystery item. It’s made of cast iron and features an animal’s head – but what is it? Over in Wiltshire, auctioneer Tim Weeks is on the rostrum as he tries to deliver a profit for the teams.

The Translation:
Stone the Crows! It's a new episode at a new loocation (well they'be been here before in previous series) but decided they fancied some West Country produce, like a very pleasant Devonshire Cream Tea. Unfortunately, this does mean that Exeter has to withstand, like the Walls of Jericho, the full aural assault, and visual visceral atomic blast of Caroline Bawley who will be today's Jam, as no doubt our eardrums will be rapidly jammed up protecting themselves with layers of emergency secretions. Joining her for a jolly jape will be Trilly Bliss, an enjoyable tightly-packed pair of scones, and where would we be without the Cream of Clots, Carloss Tragiwispa, answer, much better off. Tapping away with the Reichsgavel to the tune of the Horst Wessel Song will be the Wokesfuhrer himself, Treepants Weeks, in his Chippenham Colditz Bunker. Seeing who our host is I would like to re-phrase the opening comment to Stone the Old Crow!!.

The Staff:
[Gaffer] Caroline Town Crier Hawley with her exclusive Twistand Shout Tartan as part of the Chernobyl Mutoid collection, or the new Humber Estuary Night Life & Mare Budget Bin Rescue Range
[Red Team Expert] Ben Carloss Wispa Tragicooper, bad buys woo-woo
[Blue Team Expert] Posh Kate Shrilly Trilly Bliss, the tighter her dress, the shriller she gets
[Auctioneer] Timpole Tudor Wokesfuhrer Weeks with Germanic floppy fringe
[Auction Location] Wessex Auction Rooms, Colditz, Chippenham
[Miserlin Rating] Unlisted

​

The Teams:
[Red Team] Friends Journalist Ellie and Business Development Analyst Chris, who reckons he’s good at getting a deal and comes across as a camp pushy ****. She's not much better. He's ambiguous and wants somebody tall, dark, and handsome.
(Challenge: Makes a sound)
[Blue Team] Old school pals Company Director Nic who's hidden talent is juggling and Nurse Knack aka Caroline the Weeble, who's after bling. Is that Nic as opposed to Nick? Ah Nic is female. I also suppose Nic rides a unicycle, perhaps without a saddle.
(Challenge: With a gemstone)

The Shopping:
Reds: Victorian Brass/copper Hunting horn (27 Challenge) might struggle, Leather and brass opera glasses (35) OK, 9ct Gold Amethyst and seed pearl Edwardian pendant (125) OK.
Blues: Scottie dog brooch (85 Challenge) OK, Clover-leaf pendant (45) OK, Chester silver-topped glass cruet set (45) really good.

The Distraction:
After earlier grunting over 25 inches during the opening segemnt, it's now time for Jericho to shout at an inanimate bull-headed object and shriek at fairgoers to guess what it does. Evidently, it has a sweet head, a tail, and a sharp, pointy bit. Pneumatic drill? It has a a longer blade underneath his mouth. Ah, one of her Giallo victims? No, it's an old-fashioned tin opener. We're then Bawleysplained about tinned goods.

​

The Auction:
Reds: Victorian Brass/copper Hunting horn (3 loss), Leather and brass opera glasses (11 loss), 9ct Gold Amethyst and seed pearl Edwardian pendant (45 loss).
Tragicooper's BB is a Silver gilt Scandi silver brooch (30), 40-60, 110. 80 notes.

​

Blues: Scottie dog brooch (10 profit), Clover-leaf pendant (35 profit) GG on, Chester silver-topped glass cruet set (15 profit) GG attained.
Trilly's BB is a 1923 Birmingham silver and mother-of-pearl bookmark (20), 25-40, 65. Superb work from Kate today.

​

The Aftermath:
Awful loud and patronising Foghorn. Laughably basic Distraction. Excellent Wokesfuhrer Auction. Think summer of 1941 as German tanks pile into the Soviet Union. Ambiguous Red Bloke wants someone tall, dark, and handsome and ends up with the Yeti, whose Public School experience will come in handy here. Along with annoying Red Bird they form a team you really want to lose. Luckily, their experts speciality is in this area. The Blues are really lucky today to get a Top Of The Form Trilly, who's really on her game. Carloss Reds first 2 items were real tat, brass horn and opera glasses which both made losses. Thwarting yet again the Yeti's Golden Gavel Grab. The third item was a nice pendant but they had heavily overspent on it, as Carloss often does, and it makes a large loss. Once again his team grabs the Anti-Golden Gavel, made out of the wood his head is formed from. For once, he redeems himself with a bargain bit of Scandi silver in the form of a brooch. Shockingly, for him, it turns him briefly into Carwin with an 80 note profit. His team then finishes with a profit of 21 quid. Wasn't expecting that. All of the Blues items had the mark of Kate. 4 lots involving precious metal. Trilly comfort zone. All bought with knowledge and with an eye on getting the best price. It was also a Wokesfuhrer Auction, who loves to deal with precious metals, stones, looted art works, confiscated fur coats, and large eagle sculptures. He loved all the items, he also loved the price, so you knew they would do well. They did. The first 3 items all made tidy profits to secure a well-deserved Golden Gavel. She then tops it with her bargain bookmark BB which makes a 45 note profit. They end on a huge overall profit of 105. Yet another 3-figure profit from the Queen of Experts.

​

The Hi-Kick:
Standard indoor kick with Bawley giving us her usual growler elevation. Everyone else hits par with decent coordinatation. Yes, YES!!

Lovely top 'n' tail turn with 'Stone The Crow(s)' there, Reg!

titter:
Wokesfuhrer Auction, who loves to deal with precious metals, stones, looted art works, confiscated fur coats, and large eagle sculptures.

Human skin lampshades, however, have presumably fallen foul of rules similar to those governing ivory.
It's PC gone mad.

 

Bought for 45...


..Bought it in '45
