The new Sun newspaper/Chariots Of Fire ad annoys me. But I always feel my blood beginning to boil whenever I see that distinctive red logo anywhere, really. It's like repeatedly being shown a dog turd.
Last night I saw/heard the trailer for the BDO World Professional darts match (yuk!) on TV next weekend and was shocked to hear that wonderful piece of music, the Intermezzo from Cavalera Rusticana was being used. It's the most unlikely piece of music to choose for such an ad;the two just do not go together - IMO it's an insult to use decent music to accompany the trailer for such a programme. :eek::mad::mad:

I felt the same when they used Black Lace's 'Do The Conga' for The Train Line ads
Mazuma Mobile. What a rip off! The only way you can get more then about £1 for your phone is if you decide you don't want your iPhone a couple of weeks after buying a new model!
er... they have just offered me 40 quid for my 2 year old HTC hero....
=halstation;55624697]I thought the Weight Watchers ad was advertising a womens catalogue. Looks like they are going the Boots way of alienating 50% of potential customers.
I hate those "Give us your old phone/cds/dvds/games" ads. I admit I have used one of them for DVDs etc but the rate of return they give is actually awful.
I went onto Music Magpie to see how much they would give me for my Indiana Jones DVD boxset. They offered me £3.

I don't think thats very good either particularly for a boxset (if thats what you're implying also). For my Thundercats Boxset (S1 Part 1) they offered me 89p
I've made mistakes with other ones though, rates change daily and I deleted a DVD from a trade accidentally and the price dropped from 80p to 34p :rolleyes::o
yeah, I was a bit surprised TBH.
200 quid was a nice little tickle for some old phones that were taking up drawer space :cool:
That was with 2 heros that we got rid off. We used it to pay off T-Mobile to get an early upgrade for me.Now on those sites we'd get £200 for my iPhone 4 and £100 for his HTC Desire HD.

£40 isn't bad for the hero.
We sold 4 phones last year to envirophone and we got £202 for them all.
What these morons have lost in weight they have more than put on in terms of idiocy!
Yep, that one always has to be 'find the mute button' moment for me too...and why is it sung in such a camp voice?
Especially the one where the woman misses her gob and throws all her peas on the floor.
Pathetic, and very badly acted.
It's the annoying thumping techno beat that drives me mad!
Really. So if I go into my local banger racing ill pick up a smashed car up and then you ll buy it? I think not. Dont lie to the public.
My thoughts exactly!
