Bargain Hunt

All hail cute Nurse Nosering BlueBlonde.
Called 'Courtney'. Cocks, luv?

Auctioneer hilariously damning at valuation table. Hamming up Grumpy Tyke role.

 

The lazy buy of those sh1tty brooches gets their just desserts.

The massive overspend on Rick's BB. Confirmed? Yup but not quite the disaster expected.

The next set of Teams are up. Young Girlies replaced by 2 sets of middle-aged couples.

So that's 4 sets of non-BAME contestants. No doubt the BBC Diversity Unit alarm bells were triggered.

Oh dear old school Red Woman who loves cleaning. 2 Maths loving Blues.

The Blokes arm linking their male expert. Cough, splutter.

 

She won't be able to polish that bear.

The return of The Fly Vesta.

Treepants is turned off by it's Englishness.

Some Yorkshire style defence over taking money off the camera.

Colin, what have you done. 130 notes for a cobbled together letterbox, They saw you coming.

 

The Autons have returned and are currently working in a Sheffield Auction House. Dr Who's Sonic Screwdriver is up for sale next and is sold for 8 pounds to the Cybermisers from Mondas.

 

The Sheffield Fuhrer implores the faithfull to prise open their wallets.

 

Pull-off cover. That sounds like my sort of cover.

Treepants Beswick cat smashes.

 

Clive Woodward dreams of getting Strict Natasha on the floor for a Ruck. She will penalise him for a handling infringement. She does like the look of his long pass though.

 

Colin's box sinks like the Italian Navy.

Burning money for fun on 2 big overspends.

 

BBC approved preamble:
York
Bargain HuntSeries 49-52 (Extended Versions) Episode 3 of 15
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0019n4j
Natasha Raskin Sharp and the teams are in York with experts Tim Weeks and Colin Young. Natasha takes a trip to the National Railway Museum to look at some items in their extensive collection.

The Translation:
It's double bubble with a 60 minute double header from York, which will mean a trip to the National Railway Museum at some point. So it's 2 sets of contestants but the same presenting/experting/auctioning staff with Strict Natasha, Timpole Weeks, Rick Wakeham (short-haired) and Rob Lee. There's lots to get through so let's crack on.

The Staff:
[Gaffer] Strict Natasha Raskin Sharp and her rule book.
[Red Team Expert] Tim Timpole Tudor Wunderbar Weeks
[Blue Team Expert] Colin Young, pre-Rick Wakeman
[Auctioneer] Rob Lee, "Yorkshire, Yorkshire, Yorkshire!!!!"
[Auction Location] Sheffield
(Miserlin Rating: Approved)



The Teams 1:
[Red Team] Sisters, one of them was training to be a vet but became a thesp instead and a wannabe stand-up comic. Don't give up the day job.
[Blue Team] Female Best Friends, never done nothing blondes who were student nurses in Leeds. To be fair their jugs do get to be Auctioned. Hanson would have been pawing them if he'd been on.



The Shopping 1:
Reds: Chester Silver Pen tray (85) might struggle, Novelty croc nutcracker (18) OK, 1950s Toucan brooch (10) OKish
Blues: Silver topped hat-pin jar (50), Lustre set of jug and 4 bowls (30), Set of 12 1950s Costume jewellery brooches (50)
Silver topped hat-pin jar (50) OK, Lustre set of jug and 4 bowls (30) might struggle, Set of 12 1950s Costume jewellery brooches (50) struggle. Welcome to Yorkshire.

The Auction 1:
Reds: Chester Silver Pen tray (evens stevens), Novelty croc nutcracker (small profit), 1950s Toucan brooch (small profit) not quite a Golden Gavel.
Treepants BB is a Lorna Bailey comical dog figurine (20), 20-30, might tempt the Yorkshire Steptoes, 28. Spongehair strikes again.
Blues: Silver topped hat-pin jar (loss), Lustre set of jug and 4 bowls (loss), Set of 12 1950s Costume jewellery brooches (loss). Welcome to Yorkshire.
Colin's BB is a Georgian York Silver rum decanter label (156), cough splutter, in Yorkshire LOL, probably not, 50-80, ouch, might need a drink, 120, a loss but not as bad as it could have been.



The Aftermath 1:
Reds get an overall profit and almost sneak a Golden Gavel with some good guidance from Wunderbar Weeks. Meanwhile, Blues make a sizeable loss, no profits, and a Hanson-inspired BB folly. Hang your head in shame Rick Wakeman.



The Hi-Kick:
Not shown. Booooooooooooo.

The Distraction:
A George Cross awarded to an engine driver recently purchased by the National Railway Museum.



The Teams 2:
[Red Team] Bradford married couple. Nuff said.
[Blue Team] Altrincham married couple. Nuff said.



The Shopping 2:
Reds: Clockwork dancing bear (34) OK, Brass fly vesta (17) OK, Edwardian silver pepper pot (29) might struggle
Blues: 1980s Zenit EM Olympic camera (18) OK, Football cards book (11) OK, Birmingham silver matchbox cover (20) might struggle

The Auction 2:
Reds: Clockwork dancing bear (loss), Brass fly vesta (nice profit), Edwardian silver pepper pot (nice profit)
Treepants BB is a a Beswick cat playing a guitar (20), 20-30, 15, a small loss, unlucky Tim, it should have made a profit.
Blues: 1980s Zenit EM Olympic camera (small profit), Football cards book (1 pound loss), Birmingham silver matchbox cover (profit), so close to a Golden Gavel.
Colin's BB is a Chinese panel turned into a letterbox (130), not another folly LOL, 50-70, 60, yup another Rick overspend.



The Aftermath 2:
Reds get a small overall profit with a bit of an up-and-down auction including a small loss-maker from Weeks. Once again another Hanson-style folly from Rick Wakeman, wiping out all profits. What a crap letterbox, what a crap result.



The Hi-Kick 2:
Standard indoor kick, A real mixed bag with some not trying. Would've been better if we they'd ended with the kick from the first lot. Far more chances of Growler shots.

 

Wednesday Adams Red Comedian. Laugh as I stick this Spider up where the sun doesn't shine.

 

Back in Sunny Scotland.

Her Challenge MUST be met.

Is that McWitch with a wig or a new McHag.

2 Sets of menopausal Scottish women.

Clinical hypnotherapist.

Like Magpies the Reds hop over to the stale bread and the water for dunking.

 

Lol, a Sweaty Sock Old Hags special (the lovely Tash excepted of course).

Are the red team secret members of this forum ?

 

Jesus haggling over a quid.

Squeak squeak Coffeee cups. Squeak. What do you Squeak like about it.

Roo likes fun with a llama, I'll be that llama.

Scots thinking about food as always.

SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAKKKKKKK!!!!!

Very best price, 1 pound off?

No haggling allowed.

Jesus. Tight Centre Manager.

Scots purse. They managed to get it open!!!!

My ears hurt from all the Squeaking.

She is orgasmic about getting it for 69.

 

A talking Bull with a ring through it's nose.

 

Anita!
wtf!

 

Blimey. McWitch is unrecognisable !

 

McWitch false laughing and slurring as usual.

Her-her-her-her.

 

She's seen a ghost. Or looked at herself in a mirror. Hold on she doesn't cast a reflection.

 

The McMisers are out in force.

Dutch Auction LOL.

McWitch struggling with her speech.

Shocking Auction.

 

MCWitch looks 100

Overspent on all items at the misery shop of stingy discounts.

Losses incoming

 

She's clearly lent her wig to the 'youngster' on the red team.

Those teapots.....worth about as much as a Haggis Supper and a bottle of Irn-Bru.

 

almost every valuation more than purchase price. most unusual. Anita too soft?

 

This is excruciating. Makes you realise the sooner the Jocks have a second Independence vote & f*ck off once & for all, the better.

 

Just a waffling old grandma telling her stories in her shawl.

 

That young. More like 300.

 

As long as we don't lose Roo!

 

I'll accept strict natasha as acceptable collateral damage

 

unfortunate emphatic phrasing from Anita... "the BLACKS are the ENEMY". Black pieces, surely, dear. Danny's ears will be burning.

 

Cackling in the background.

That Miser's purse doubles its money.

This Auction is all over the place. Online bids saving it.

If McWitch touches the silver will her hand burn?

The Squeak cleans up.

The Audience laughs at the prospect of topping the 100 pound bid. Tightwads.

 

They love the purse. Probably because it's metal and will be hard to prise their pennies out from.

 

Is Tash off to the Clydebank & Drumchapel Little House On The Prairie Fan Club barn dance afterwards ?

 

Another absolute chalk and cheese performance by the scotch misers

 

Thank heavens for the interweb thingy, tight old bunch of boogers in the auction room.

 

'Cyberspace' as great grandma Anita labels it.

 

The two scotch women gushing over Danny's silver blade
