The CD of hits from the 50's is the worst of all, people who were around when they were hits probably get loads of these compilation CD's of 50's hits every Christmas.

I love 50's music so wouldn't mind getting more just in case there is one I haven't got though I think I do own pretty much every 50/60's song there was
Fabulous Bingo - Guy proposes and the girl has the cheek to say "It's fabulous but it's not Fabulous Bingo!" The advert ends with a free lip gloss offer along with the usual 'deposit £10, get £30 to play' crap as in EVERY OTHER Bingo ad. I wish ALL Bingo adverts would GO AWAY! :mad:
Foxy Bingo - "Free Bingo fortnight." Small print says "£5 deposit required." IT'S NOT FREE THEN IS IT!? :mad:
Look him up on IMDB and tell me you've seen NONE of his 75 or so films...
OK, perhaps some people exist who haven't seen any of his films, but you could say that for virtually any other actor – and I certainly challenge you to come up with an actor who EVERYONE will have seen in a film who hasn't ALSO been in a film with Kevin Bacon (kind of proving the point). eg Tom Cruise – perhaps everyone has seen at least on his films, and he has a Bacon number of One, having been in A Few Good Men. Clint Eastwood? Mystic River. Jack Lemmon? JFK. Julia Roberts? Flatliners. In other words, Bacon has worked with virtually everyone.
I don't watch 'modern' films (or soaps for that matter) and hadn't heard of him; not everybody watches films (or er, soaps for that matter)

Is he like Alfred Hitchcock, i.e, the guy in the background walking his dog?:rolleyes:

There's no crime in only watching old films. I just found it funny people saying "What's the deal with him, I've never heard of him". Why would you expect to hear of any actor under 50 if you don't watch films made after the 1970s?
That would be like me continually saying "Well I've never heard of him" whenever an American baseball player is mentioned, when I know that I'm completely ignorant of ANY baseball player.
Oak Furniture Land - I'm really getting sick to death of this bloody advert! I hate the way the woman knocks on the table. "For free delivery and a very happy nan..." PISS OFF! :mad:
Plus their original prices are as bad as the ones at DFS. No, it was never £1600 and is not worth even your special offer price either.

Seconded! Why is she even comparing that apple with the other orange? Man alive. Also agree with the complaints about sofa adverts (though this year loving the DFS musical chairs idea - not the thread for loving though, I get that).

This. Whose enjoyment of Christmas is determined by how wobbly their table is?
The worst Christmas adverts this year is the series of Tesco adverts. None of the music (the original versions at least) goes with the adverts, its like they've taken someones music playlist and picked a random song for each advert. But the worst part is at the end when the tesco logo gets a party hat () and it makes the "ding" sound that makes my skin crawl :mad:

Have you noticed that she "knocks" 2 different tables, but the one they are all sitting at in the final scene is different again, how many tables does that Woman have also, Nan and Grandad, woman and Hubbie and child are sat there, so where are the Woman's parents? who invites one set of Grandparents to Christmas Lunch.

It's beginning to look a lot like Aldi (Puke)
Waitrose - we haven't made an expensive ad so we can give more to charity. (Puke)

They are all the same smaltzy sickening we your friend adverts do something different stop copying each other!! :mad:
1) The Argos aliens can shop from the dark side of the ****ing moon for all I care
2) The Lloyds TSB bank "bah-buh-bah-buh ba-ba bah-buh-bah-buh ba-ba bah-buh-bah-buh-bah-bah ba-ba-ba-ba-ba" theme is doing my nut in.
Also I dont like the Save the Children ad with 'Tomorrow' from Annie on it, I know its slowed down so it sounds more touching but who thought THAT was an appropriate tune for this ad? I didnt know it was a charity ad at first

I caught an ad for Michael McIntyre's DVD the other night; he doesn't say a single funny thing, just pulls a face and shouts a couple of times.
I love 50's music so wouldn't mind getting more just in case there is one I haven't got though I think I do own pretty much every 50/60's song there was

It would have been that price or they are not allowed to put it however it may only have been that price for something like 1 minute.
