It is not so much the advertisements that make me want to dispose of the TV. Has anyone else seen the episode of Doc Martin where Aunty Joan has a "love in" on the stripped pine kitchen table? OHMYGOD!!!


I can still see her carpet slippers and swollen feet swaying backwards and forwards...


I need to lie down.

The volume on all adds is sooooo much louder than any programme one's watching, more so if it is a 'white bearded' black and white movie.


The solicitor adds, of awkward ungainly dumplings, slipping on a wet marble floor in 4 inch stilletto's...........how impractical to wear such footwear. The term 'just deserts' springs to mind but the encouragement of people not taking responsibility for their actions and/or decisions arouses my impatience and anger.


There should be legislation to prevent us moving toward the Americanization of the British way of life.

Stick around for the ad on Channel 4 for the Kubrick season of films ending with The Shining. The advert for it starts airing 1st July. It is astounding. I was involved in it. 90 second one take thingy.


Not the sort of ads you're talking about though.


The ones for Parazone wrapped round The Bill are so naff. Yes, I do sometimes watch The Bill.

Oh, yes. I'm with you on that one D_C.

Most cosmetic ads are awful and full of bad science, but surely the worst is Pierce Brosnan for L'Oriel. Cantering along the beach and talking about the environment, whilst looking after his skin, because, well, he's worth it.


One that I quite like though is the one for the new bubbling device in cans of Kronenberg, where all the little chefs (inside the can of course) cut the bubbles up into smaller and smaller bubbles...

It's OK James, you've made a clean breast of it, and that's the main thing.

If you ever find yourself strapped to a sofa first thing in the morning it has to be the alternating Litigation/Loan adcycle(usually during the Jeremy Kyle adbreak). Sue someone or consolidate all those little debts into one great f**k-off debt. Either way your either f**king yourself or your f**king someone else. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside doesnt it....

Oh, and the other really annoying ads are the ones where inanimate things are humanised, presumably in order to convey their message more clearly to us dumb bunnies. Firemen in your stomach-settler, TicTacs that run down the street, talking germs in the lavatory... it's just weird and a bit creepy.


Except for the car/robot one, as Honaloochie B says, which is cooooooooooooool.


Buggie - moonpig?? You DO need to elaborate!

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
