I read this morning that Noel Edmonds has a RSI injury from constantly answering the phone on Deal or no Deal. Am i alone in thinking that that is just a complete joke - its certainly nothing that id admit to if it was me.

If he was doing something hard, or maybe if the phone weighed 15kilo then i could have some sympathy.

Millions in offices all round the country answer more phones than him a day im sure, surely they cant all be due time off with similar.

Must be true :p

To be fair he does do a hell of a lot of those shows during a week/day, so its probably not completely impossible that it could have some effect.

I'm guessing its a bit of sensationalist journalism though.
 
Source?

If it's from a red tabloid, a glass of water likely holds more value than the story.

The phone is, apparently, quite heavy.

SOT, but what the hell are the little icons he draws on the side of his hand? :confused:

are the ratings dropping by any chance?
I hate the program with all the audience whooping and shouting all the time
 
Sounds like total BS to me. For some reason the media in this country have a real downer on Noel (alongside other celebs they like to portray badly - Tom Cruise etc).
 
Scenario:

Tabloid phones Noel.
Noel says hello banker.
Tabloid asks for any tidbits as today is really going slowly.
Noel says no comment.
Tabloid makes something up.

It's some hippy crap, can't remember the exact name for it but it sounded like diet-scientology.


I've gone right off the program, the novelty wore off quick and it's very samey. I think he might well have RSI, but it's probably from masterbating over pictures of himself.
 
Didn't Noel Tidy Beard say on the Jonathon Ross show that all the programmes where the contestant wins £250,000 are held back from broadcast?

If thats true, the viewer is being conned! :mad:

I noticed that the other day too, changes everytime it seems, can't think wth they could be for, some secret hint at where the big money is? ;)
Incidentally I only watch it because the girlfriend loves it, I hate the way the audience applaud everything and the way the people playing try to justify their choices, like it's anything more than random.

If Noel is being serious, RSI is a nightmare, especially carpal tunnel syndrome.

One day CTS got so bad that I had to put my arm in a sling and a special wrist support for 2 weeks!!
 
Yeah with deal or no deal the novelty wore off very quick for me.

I think it was kinda at the same time the contestants and audience started turning the show into some kind of US style circus that I turned off.

Do they still do all the same garbage like "ooh this feels like a heavy box, this feels like a light box" or "i've got a system".

ITS ALL FLAMIN RANDOM!!!! and all the boxes are the EXACT same weight! I could pick box 1-20 in order and have no worse chance of winning than some blokes grand masterplan system.

Noels hand things are some crap like cosmic ordering or something just some new kabbalah, scientology cobblers for celebritys to make money out of (apparently Noels got some book deal in the pipeline on it).

He sure did. He also suggested that they may not be aired at all ... which if that's true was a silly comment. I'm guessing he is doing that so people it won't go the way Millionaire did. As soon as someone one, interest was lost even more quickly than it is already, so maybe he is trying to preserve it?

If that's the case though, I find that very annoying.

ROFL @ Psycho Ned. Yep, me and mates get riled when they say they have a partciular way of doing it. Who cares whether a particular person has had 4 reds in a row from previous games, it's still random!
