Holidays!!!! Yuk!

If they want to flog their disgusting gut rot to Britain, at least they could be inclined to call the holiday what is is CHRISTMAS. No chance!

Finally as it approached mid-night we said farewell, knowing that it was very unlikely that would would ever meet again, it was unlikely that he would ever be allowed back again and well I doubted that I would get up there.
Just as he was leaving he suddenly realized that he no longer had his harp, as he said "I've left my harp in Fat Sam's disco"”

Probably mentioned before: St. James Corden nearly wetting himself just because the traffic lights are green.

Yes I noticed that too. She's really bulked up. That's the trouble with losing weight, losing it is just the start, it's keeping it off that's hard as it's a lifelong endeavour.

The new Xmas Gala Bingo ad - so ghastly & twee that it's made me gouge my ears & eyes out to avoid it further!

Pardon if this has already been discussed, but when did the pronunciation of "Braun" change to "Brown", as I heard tonight on an advert?

It reminded me of a Henry VIII documentary I watched the other day, where the historian insisted on pronouncing Boleyn (as in Ann Boleyn) as rhyming with pollen

"Brown" is the correct pronunciation.

Ergh, Andrex have another advert with kids describing how they feel after wiping their arse. It's disgusting and inappropriate.

Then it wouldn't fit into the jingle as nicely, and therefore wouldn't be as memorable

Just seen an advert that I found terribly upsetting. Sat in tears. I'm sure it's meant to be cute but to me and other women in my position it's horribly insensitive.

I think it was for Amazon

At the end a woman gives her husband an extra gift of a book of baby names as a way of telling him she's expecting.
I'd love to do that for my husband. But I'm failing him. I can't get pregnant. And we know it's my fault- he's fine.

I know I might not get much support in calling this the worst advert on TV, especially when the TK Maxx advert is still making me ready for the mute, but I'm my position it's right up there albeit for different reasons.

Be careful what you wish for!

I have a terrible feeling he is going to make an appearance nearer to Christmas!

I go with Gladstone Brooks because that one is purely nonsense and shouldn't even be allowed to be a commercial on TV. For nearly 2 years now, that clown has been ranting about some "mountain of money" situation and I wonder how much longer could he possibly do that for. Makes me laugh how he says "many people have still done nothing about it" well of course not cos it's not true, so that's why!
one relief is that it's not a common advertisement as such. it never seems to appear at weekends and only ever between 9am and 4pm. Strange as a given commericial usually appears every day and at any time.
