The advert for the chewing gum with the Bride leaving the Groom at the alter. I don't get it.
So what if he has all the things the commentary says he has, why does she get to leave him like that? It's not like he's been an abusive boy friend or anything. |

when either of my little girls are at the vets, I am sitting on egg shells until they phone to say, "Come get them", I won't even stay anywhere over night because I don't want to be separated from them, as Susan Calman says "They are my children"

if I have take them to the vet for, say a regular check up, I always say to them "Daddy is going to bring you home" and if I have to go out I always tell them "Daddy going out, but won't be long".
I work from home and every so often one or both come into my office and ask for treats. We have the daughter of her cousin now ....18 weeks old today, and uncannily like her. I work at home too ...lucky aren't we! ![]() (With apologies for the 'off topic'). |

I agree about the Amazon gadget, seems people are getting lazier or stupider. Can't do anything without their gadgets.
Also hate the ad with that prat holding a webcam/camera in the front row of a concert - idiots like that ruin the concert - going experience. I also dislike any chocolate adverts (Lindt etc) as I'm cutting out chocolate atm

Muller 99 calories!! Not so much the women in the ad, but the token male stupidity at the end. Pretending to fall to get her attention. Knobs!

Please can somebody explain the Nescafe 'through thick and thin moment' with the chap staring at his mobile phone? Or am I being particularly obtuse?

I've said it before, and so have others, but I'll say it again: that OXO ad. Apart from the appallingly rude daughter, and even more rude friend ('the most popular girl in school' - yeah, right), what bit of that advert would encourage you to rush out and buy Oxo cubes (especially when Knorr Stockpots are so much better anyway)?

Once again advertisers ruin a great song by putting it in a lame advert and showing it EVERY BLEEDIN' ADVERT BREAK FOR A MONTH!!!
"Do I Love You..Indeed I Do" by Frank Wilson on that ****ing egg advert ![]() ![]() Advertisers using good pop songs on their ads is my pet peeve and, come the revolution, all perpetrators will be up against the wall. |

Are Go Compare doing whatever they can to make the most annoying adverts? |

I wonder if we have misunderstood the OXO advert, perhaps it is intended to be a post-modern ironic satire on the theme of the oft-used 'most popular' label that is now applied in circumstances where someone no longer possesses the same manner of uniquenesses that was historically a requirement when assessing the wider charismatic appeal of an individual within their peer group as a physical presence is far less relevant given the increasing impact of digital personae and the caricaturised emphatication of otherwise non-perceptible facets of personality.
But the big question really is whether that's enough to get me into Pseud's Corner

We're exactly the same ...'coming back' - only lied once, last summer ...told my wonderful girl we'd go to the sea again for coffee and chips, and she was gone. Only 10, so too soon, but love all the way, and all worth it.

When Emmerdale comes on and it shows you the Mcain sponsorship bit with the real life families.
The white family drive me mad, especially the clip where she says 'eat your pie lucy'. Don't know why they irritate me so much but they do, |

There's an advert for.... something.... with a girl filling in her football sticker book and is missing a sticker so her dad arranges meeting with the player as a nice surprise but then the mum shakes her head as if to say "don't, it's too expensive". Then later, when the husband is asleep, SHE arranges to meet the player so presumably gets all the thanks and gratitude from the child when it was the husband's idea and she poo-pood it : /

. Is there a 'grieving cat owners' thread around somewhere?
But if you want to have a look, try: http://www.catforum.com/forum/50-over-rainbow-bridge/ (Rather getting away from the theme of this thread here.........!) |

When my lovely boy Basil died in 2014 I cried so hard and for so long I gave myself gastritis! Still, it was good for the figure as I lost 2 stone. It was like losing a child. Even now, saying his name brings tears to my eyes.
PS Didn't know the French Foreign Legion had a para. regiment! Same with me with my children, they are all buried in the garden, I always promise them the "Daddy will bring you home" even if it is only bury them it had two until 1962, when following the Algerian Putsch, that b*st*rd de gaulle ordered the disbanding of ours, so that there is now only the 2REP. |

On plinky-plonky versions of songs in ads - the latest Sony 4K tv one: it tries to plink-plonk an already plink-plonk song - True Colors by Cindy Lauper. Why get some awful bloke whining to the song when Cindy Lauper's version is perfect already. Cost, I assume, but still, winds me up every time it comes on.

At least he's doing it for a good reason, helping out the sick daughter. Getting mass 'dad' points. |

Mention of De Gaulle always reminds me of the film 'Day of the Jackal' (one of my favourites, and never seen a film where everyone smokes so much), and how the French army officers of the OAS wanted him dead. The officer in jail was convinced no French soldier would raise a gun to him and next thing he's being shot at dawn! |

It's the mum's idea - first she looks to buy a proper sticker off (something like) Ebay, the dad poo-poos the cost of it, so she comes up with the idea of going to the footballer's house, etc..
