  • Oh dear, not HIM again – he is awful, with his stupid, pretentious, totally uninformed dialogue and ludicrous grammatical errors amongst other things. If I hear him say ‘NOT ONLY’ again, I feel sure I shall put my foot through the TV screen!

    If only he qualified ‘not only’ with a ‘but also’ it might sound a little better; however, it would not alter my opinion of him. Is he desperate or what? He keeps turning up all over the place – he was on gems TV (Gemporia) not long ago, but only once, as far as I know. Perhaps they didn’t like him?

    Just fly away, Peter!

  • How nice to see Peter Simon back on our screens again. Good luck Peter..
