Didn't they used to be quite clever ?


So far, the following make me wish to increase my alchohol consumption/gnash-my-teeth/kill-the-makers.


1. The Littlewoods ad:

Just fk right off. Yes it hits every button, such as: Scream expletives now, smash the TV & comit arson.


2. The Uncle Bens ad:

A man throws a pack of rice into a naturally occurring hot spring, it then flys back out as the hot water spouts upward and is caught by a bloke with a tray.

Strap line: Cooks perfectly in 10 minutes even if you don't have a geyser/geezer in the house.



Jesus h Christ, some (wan-ky ad exec) body sat there and thought of that up, then pitched it to the client, who then fobbed it off on us.


Note to Uncle Bens.

I am not a moron, I will never (underlined) buy your stupid product. I'd rather have Krispy-Kreme doughnuts rammed up my rear end by a Stevie Wonder impersonator driving a dodgem car.

I hope you choke on your own products while watching the Littlewoods ad.



Other than that, I HATE YOU.

It's those lovey dovey baby ads for companies like johnsons that really bug me. "make every bath time special" crap who ever has a "special" time bathing their devil child? There's no smiles from loving parents in this house and the happy giggling cheekiness of little monster is only the result of them having soaked the bathroom floor and those assisting in the bathing after "splashing" around rather energetically. Would be better to compare the experience wiv de-fleaing one of them long haired canine beasts whilst holding a toffee apple!

Another John Lewis/Smiths sync - great news for Mozza and Marr - and another one of those song choices that absolutely sucks satan's cock at anything below surface level.


Should go down a storm with the same type of planks who pick the psycho-stalking classic Every Breath You Take as their first dance at their wedding.

I knocked down a stud wall in my kitchen last night and found an old copy of the London Evening News in the plaster.


The following advert can be found in the classifieds section of the March 12th 1974 edition and it is reproduced without alteration below:

    • Thank you to everyone who has already shared their thoughts on this. Dawson Heights Estate in the 1980s, while not as infamous as some other estates, did have its share of anti-social behaviour and petty crime. My brother often used the estate as a shortcut when coming home from his girlfriend’s house, despite my parents warning him many times to avoid it. Policing during that era had a distinctly “tough on crime” approach. Teenagers, particularly those from working-class areas or minority communities, were routinely stopped, questioned, and in some cases, physically handled for minor infractions like loitering, skateboarding, or underage drinking. Respect for authority wasn’t just expected—it was demanded. Talking back to a police officer could escalate a situation very quickly, often with harsh consequences. This was a very different time. There were no body cameras, dash cams, or social media to hold anyone accountable or to provide a record of encounters. Policing was far more physical and immediate, with few technological safeguards to check officer behaviour. My brother wasn’t known to the police. He held a full-time job at the Army and Navy store in Lewisham and had recently been accepted into the army. Yet, on that night, he ran—not because he was guilty of anything—but because he knew exactly what would happen if he were caught on an estate late at night with a group of other boys. He was scared, and rightfully so.
    • I'm sure many people would look to see if someone needed help, and if so would do something about it, and at least phone the police if necessary if they didn't feel confident helping directly. At least I hope so. I'm sorry you don't feel safe, but surely ED isn't any less safe than most places. It's hardly a hotbed of crime, it's just that people don't post on here if nothing has happened! And before that, there were no highwaymen,  or any murders at all .... In what way exactly have we become "a soft apologetic society", whatever that means?
    • Unless you're 5 years old or have been living in a cave for several decades you can't be for real. I don't believe that you're genuinely confused by this, no one who has access to newspapers, the tv news, the internet would ask this. Either you're an infant, or have recently woken up from a coma after decades, or you're a supercilious tw*t
