"Order your sofa for Xmas!", so you can watch their Boxing Day Sale adverts where your new sofa will be half-price. ![]() Quote:
Do you reckon they think we're unaware of Anna Kendrick's Cup Song?

The Holiday Inn adverts: Who wants to go to SLOUGH or DROITWICH FFS?
Quote:
That is the point of the ad. Holiday Inns are so good they even make shitholes appear appealing.

The Park rip-off ads. for people who can't handle money, pay into this scheme and are then stuck with buying all their stuff from Park.
At least the 'young mum' isn't the usual munter but where is dad? Even the one where the kids are going to bed - no sign of the bloke who's actually paying for all that crap. Did it occur to you that she could be a single mother? And I see you've made the usual sexist assumption that we need men to pay for everything. |

![]() Well, you are also on benefits so I suppose the taxpayers are paying for your Christmas too. |

when my little Tuli had had a stroke and the vet told me "Be kind to her" I drove home with my eyes so full of tears that I really shouldn't have been driving, and me an ex-Sergent in the 1REP (1st Parachute Regiment French Foreign Legion), but well cats are different
Doesn't matter who or what we are, or whether we have cats or dogs - they're part of the family, and we love them. Quote:
Don't get me started on cats. I had to say goodbye to one of mine June just gone. Still makes me cry. If I go out I've always said to mine 'Cheerio, and be good'. Is there a 'grieving cat owners' thread around somewhere?
Quote:
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.
Quote:
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.
Quote:
My boy is in the back garden too and sometimes our present cat goes and sits on his small memorial stone as if he's keeping him company!
It would be really nice if more TV ads featured lovely cats and dogs - then, no matter what they were trying to sell us, we'd smile

They do glam it up.
Most people know that the losers are paying the winners, but so many vulnerable people out there that aren't protected. |

So why did you start a thread in the Advice Forum about a charity restricting the number of people going to their Christmas dinner?
Because no one should be left out if it is possible for them not to be. |

Many years ago hubby and I bought a house that the owners were having to sell because of the husband's gambling debts. It really brings it home to you then. And this was before online gambling etc.
I'll stick to the occasional lottery ticket I think. How did you feel when you found out about the reason they were selling? I know sometimes re-possessed houses go on the market and i'd feel terrible knowing someone had lost their home and I was buying it, but at least in your case they were still in control of the sale. |

Mention of De Gaulle always reminds me of the film 'Day of the Jackal' (one of my favorites, 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!
de gaulle not only sold out the Pied Noir French settlers in Algeria, but also the Maquis French Resistance fighters in the Vercor, when he called on them to take on the German army and then refused to allow the British to drop supplies to them, thus ensuring that the were eliminated. The Maquis were Communist resistance and he wanted to eliminate any opposition to his right wing party after the war. He lived in Colombey-les-Deux-Églises, there is another Colombey in France but in that town they are allowed to worship God. In the LE we hate him and he hated us |

I want to slap everyone responsible for putting that bloody Flash dog advert on the screen! It's always coming up whenever I watch anything on Sky Catchup along with that sodding Ariel advert!

I knew that would be the new TK Maxx advert before I even opened the link. I saw this for the first time yesterday and immediately thought that this going to get irritating after the 2nd listen and you can guarantee this will be on every ad break for the next 6-7 weeks

Still, ought not to talk politics on an advert thread! |

The song sounds rather like Super Trouper - I wonder if ABBA sued?
![]() Tune was similar to Super Trouper but just different enough to get away with it. Pickwick LP's, remember those? I had a Saturday job in Woollies and was on the counter for those (and plastic flowers and insoles for shoes among other stuff). We had a record player and I used to play the Pickwick and Top of the Pops albums - bad cover versions of the hits of yesterday - "Alright Now" by Free among them. |
