Check this out!! Noel Edmonds does 3 episodes of "Deal or No Deal a day. (For which he receives an adequate £3,000,000 a year).
apparently he needs to lift that heavy telephone receiver up to 12 times per show - that’s a maximum of 36 times a day and he's bitchin' on about having got repetitive stress injury!!

Hey, use your other hand M8 when you’re picking up the calls from "The Banker” - got that right - and try using your other hand when you’re "banking" in your own time.

Well, at least his salary comes out of advertising revenue, unlike Jonathan Ross's 18 million quid which comes out of the licence fee

No entertainer is worth that much.

I laughed at this bit...

Edmonds is a funny one...my friend was in the audience at Deal Or No Deal and he physically threw someone out for shouting "the Banker is Mr Blobby". Also when it is being filmed, the studio has to wait for the length of the comercials before beginning filming again, for continuity. During this time Noel crouches down and does controlled breathing psyching himself up for his next bit, when the break time has passed he springs to his feet and gets straight back into it. It is all very bizarre apparently.

18 million quid

Maybe he just does it to avoid talking to the contestants ? Good move !

I think this threads about Deal or no Deal/Noel Edmonds not Jonathan Ross

[Mep]

he was a guest on jonathan Ross' show the other week, so it's all connected ;-)

Yes, we were comparing what Edmunds gets paid against Ross. What's not topical about that ?

Nice get out Noel

[shay0]

Talking about Noel, whats with the pictures on his hand that change each show?

[krish]

not exactly sure...
possibly cosmic symbols, since I understand he's into some strange faith or self-help ideology called cosmic ordering

[shay0]

Cosmic symbols He had a balloon on there the other day... never heard of that being a cosmic symbol. Saying that, its the best theory I've heard so far about them

I'm sure it was briefly discussed on Jonathan Woss' show

[shay0]

OK, can't say I ever watch the show, but glimpses I have had of it are just sarcasm. Saying that though, if his antics during the break are true, who knows. If they are cosmic though, they don't seem to do the contestants a lot of good
