This is the thread where we crush on Sarah off price-drop.tv

You know who I mean (and stop pretending you're not watching it out there).

Why?
Why does she wear such short skirts to sell bed linen?
Why wouldn't it be a stretch of the imagination for her and the hostesses to go out on the pull/piss immediately after finishing work - even if they were doing the 8-11 morning shift?

I can't believe I've considering sitting up till nearly 1am on a weeknight just to see her demonstrate a massage chair.

Imagine if only she could actually make people buy things - how much of a boost for the channel would that be?

oddest street teaming of the day

SARAH HENDY

Sarah knows the law and could have her one-woman band! Welsh Sarah, graduated from university with a law degree, she has tried her hand at many things including presenting for BBCi and MTV.

A girl of many talents, Sarah plays the piano, Violin and Clarinet (although not at the same time!). Her favourite food is chocolate, her favourite tipple is Guinness and since joining price-drop.tv as a host, her one remaining ambition is to meet Duncan from the boyband ‘Blue’. A self-confessed shop-a-holic and always on the look out for a good deal, Sarah seems to have found her perfect home on price-drop.tv.

Drop in and see Sarah on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 1-4pm, and on Friday & Saturday 7-10pm.

The one time you could see this and know no sarcasm was intended.

Since that link she's lost several pounds and is currently going for an 80s look, with a slightly lop-sided Oakey-esque hairstyle displaying one dangly ear-ring and one stud. Plus these ridiculous 80s skirt suits, including a pink tweed one. Plus it's difficult to predict when she actually is on, certainly not at the times listed.

Every time she's on she talks about being in the bath.
Every time she's on she talks about 'staying in a hotel'.
Every time she's on she talks about her bedroom.
Every time she's on she has a grope at the hostess.

The sales channels often resemble some kind of improv show as it is, but Sarah is one of the few that embraces that doctrine completely and turns it into observational comedy. She laughed to the point where she was struggling to continue last night because the candle in the 'lamp' "reminded me of something" (mere seconds after I thought to myself "the way she's put that in there looks exactly like a man's bits"). I've seen her fail to notice the auction has closed because she's got so involved in an anecdote.

SARAH PWNS ALL TELEVISION SALES PEOPLE. One day she may actually be selling something that isn't complete tat and I may be tempted to buy something (pretty unlikely though). I HEART HER.

aldo, there's an "e-mail me" button on the page linked above...

Don't think I haven't been tempted...

What she's wearing tonight is very nearly enough stop me crushing on her.

OMGWTFLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sarah's just said that someone's told her people just watch her for comedy value, then after referring to her and Laura as 'the new French & Saunders' for a bit they've started doing Keith Harris and Orville instead. I'd love to think it was somehow as a result of this thread, but there's a Carly Simon answer for that.

I think, though, I HEART her even more now. Despite the trousers.

She's turned tonight into an entore sitcom evening, doing Smashie and Nicey with Laura.

There's was also an entire sequence that sounded like ilX threads:

"I went camping once and all you could hear was 'moooooooooooooo'. I couldn't sleep. What animal goes 'moooooooooooooooooo'?"
"Don't you hate it when your Mum says "I'll just sleep with the boys"?"
"If you ask me I'll do it. There are some things a girl can't say no to."
"Normal people make decisions. I just keep on the same road not wanting to cause a fuss. What does that say about me?"

OK, some of these are potentially C*l*m threads, but you take my point...

I have seen pricedrop. Most times it's a salesperson with madpanic staring eyes. But the above seem like worth watching stuff. Shall watch over the next 2 weeks!

I've just remembered an anecdote from last night while she was going on about camping:

"While I was camping I was driving along looking for a horse. I'd decided I had to get my photograph taken next to one. You know what it's like when you wake up and decide you have to do something that day and force other people to do what you want, even though they think you're mental. Anyway, we found a horse OR SO WE THOUGHT. As we got closer we found out it was actually A DEER. That would normally have been cool, I suppose, but I was in the mood for a horse. So we spurned the deer and drove off again looking for horses. Could we find any? No. I AM THE VICTIM OF THE INTERNATIONAL HORSE CONSPIRACY! It took a couple of bottles of wine to cheer me up."

Tell me you haven't read similar things in ilX before now...
