Ideal Home Show review

The show is abound with sleazy demonstrators; they say to your partner 'hello darling, has he bought you anything nice?' before blowing kisses..a less passive person would connect with the end of their face. Demonstrating does look fun; you have a crowd watching you in your element.

The set-up is impressive; there is a big boat in water. The show is a more staid affair than the beer festival here. Masterchef's Gregg Wallace 'cooking doesn't get tougher than this' no longer at the show and in his place yesterday were non descripts. What i did like were round garden seats; reminiscent of Barbarella, artificial grass though i like real grass haha, gazebos though not as good as the Gazebo bar in Kingston. There were funky fish tanks that looked like flat screen tv's; i'm told that they are unethical for fish..the glass top table tank is, funky. A wine rack shaped like a shoe, the Dukes Head pub..one of the stalls had Newquay Brown in a can, wine aerator, dreamy bubble blowing, meditation..awakening the kundalini, rubber brooms.

Better was the recording of the Album Chart Show at Koko with Kate Nash, Sophie 'Satellite face' Bextor and Scouting for Girls. Nash had a certain verbal dexterity, Ellis Bextor did the Groovejet classic..i was in Australia in 2000 when it came out; how come her mother Janet's face doesn't receive ITV4? Scouting's super, plaintive 'This ain't a love song, this is goodbye' is an Itunes no1. On the 29 bus Kurds were squaring off over smoking at the back.
