been watching telly quite a bit tonight and i've decided i REALLY hate adverts. banal, dumb, stupid fucking drivel. sniffing the kitchen surfaces, shaving legs, stinky candles with smug women, that bastard that shouts 'harrison!', that lisping dyson ad, ads that advertise programmes coming up that tv channels show AGAIN AND AGAIN until you think, FUCK OFF!!!!! I'M NOT GOING TO WATCH IT JUST TO SPITE YOU BASTARDS EVEN IF IT'S THE GREATEST TV PROGRAMME EVER MADE!! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:


You missed the other critical fact about adverts and that's the way the volume suddenly rockets for the ads and you're left diving for the volume control to stave off tinnitus

Glad you like it, it's cost us a fortune but it's been well received.

Apparently Fyfe Dangerfield (Guillemots) sings 'She's always a woman' on the ad - sounds like the original to me???

He does, the single is released on Monday due to the amount of people who've asked for it.

Faster than the Setting Sun.

John Lewis usually use classical music for ads so this is a departure, Waitrose of course use some really good music on their ads, using Cream's I Feel Free for the free range chickens was good.

People who say :
Are we all singing from the same hymn sheet?


Oooh yes good one!
I was invited to speak at a really corporate do the other week (centre for Social Justice) and most of the people there spoke in that kind of language. I HATE it, then I got up to speak and dumbed it down immensely, especially given that I sound like Norah Batty.
'Let's cascade the information to our staff' was a good one and ' top down management styles' another, SAY WHAT YOU MEAN AND STOP TRYING TO SOUND CLEVER!


And ' Lets try thinking outside the box' while making the box gesture with
hands.Or 'inverted commas' gesture with hands.


An increasing popular (and annoying) saying in my company was "Punching above our weight".

Another pet hate is tuneless TV programme music that blasts out really loudly in case you have not realised how tuneless it is! Examples would be the One Show and Alan Titmarsh's progrramme. :evil:

Completely irrational but i hate it when people say pants when they are talking about underwear.What was wrong with undies and knickers.I can maybe accept pants can be used as a short form of panties but pants for mens undies is very wrong.Pants are trousers they always have been and under your pants you wear your underpants.Stop calling them pants :evil: :evil: :evil:

I had the misfortune to see it once and thought at one point there was going to be a lively and serious debate involving Carole Malone and Ken Livingstone and a.n.other. Unfortunately they were all nobs and Titmarsh played the fool making schoolboy side-cracks. Day-time Television! :evil:
