And the woman asking the other woman do you want to come round my house and the response was: "Are you hitting on me?".

But yes this advert seems to be kids encouraging adults to harrass other people and invade their space

Yes, infuriating.

Becomes much more tolerable if you tell yourself she'e squealing because she inadvertently sat on the nozzle of the bottle.

If I give £3 a month I can help a deaf, blind child know that it is Christmas...

How?

And also, I have to work nights so I come home and all I get is gambling adverts now. I appreicate that in the middle of the night there is no point advertising marks and sparks however did the advertsing rules change so that every advert now is for a bookies?

I've noticed Sky sneak one in literally right before kick off with their football also.

Why's there no facepalm emoji on here?

No, before you go looking for your facepalm, I wasn't being shitty, my point is the poor kids are not going to know if its Christmas or not if they are deaf and blind.

But it's not a national anthem. It has no special status whatsoever except in the fevered imaginations of nationalists. Like Rule Britannia or There'll Always Be an England or The English Are Best, it's just a piece of music.

Its the same advert every year and the same charities that expect low income people to cough up. How about asking the more well off celebs to pay for a change.

I dont mind doing my bit for charity by giving donated stuff in the shops but when you never hear of celebs donating it takes the piss.

You've missed the point spectacularly. There are many ways of communicating with the deaf and blind pioneered by those who worked with Helen Keller to the point that she was able to write her own autobiography. Christmas is no more difficult for deaf blind children to grasp than other children provided that people give their money for the work to be done. The advert is absolutely on the money!

Because no tabloid would have a field day with celebrity virtue signalling if they revealed exactly how much and to what they give their money, right? The fact is that many of these charities would have gone under years ago if it were not for the personal support both in direct giving and unpaid work of the rich and famous. They shouldn't have to flash you the details to garner extra support.

You're wasting your breath.

Some people are too cheap to give to charity and will look for any excuse not to.

I used to give to several charities, but stopped about 5 years go, when I found out that the majority of the money does NOT go to those who need it.

Hell will freeze over before I give to any charity again, just so some fat cat can cream off the profits and buy a third yacht in Monaco, and some new oak furniture for his holiday villa in Sydney.

Anyone who believes these charities are giving all the money they are collecting from the gullible public, to the 'cause' they claim they are giving it to, is laughably naive. The majority are only out for themselves, and don't give a stuff about the 'cause...' And those hideous chuggers you see on the streets, get a MINIMUM of £50 for every sucker they get to sign up. The elderly are their favourite, because some of them are generous and gullible, and they can hound them and pester them and bleed them dry to the death; which they sometimes do.

Even some of the cancer charities are questionable; And they're not going to find cures whilst they're making multiple millions a year from the 'research.'

There are nearly 200,000 registered charities in this country; do the high-on-their-horse folk on here who call people 'too cheap to give' suggest we all give to every one? Coz it's not fair to leave any out is it?

Some people talk such drivel!

I forget the amount of times these ads have been on but we never hear stories about these celebs donating. Thats if they do.

Its like donate 5 pounds or it ll get worse in africa. It ll get worse anyway regardless of if you donate or not, look at how much money Comic relief raised over the years and its still bad there. We never know if the money or food really goes to the people that needed because you hear alot of stories about people selling food to buy guns.

If they truely want to help africa out sterilise the women from having babies.

When you hear Midge Ure come on tv and say a child dies every 5 seconds its hard to believe because if that really was true there wouldnt be any kids left alive.

With these charities I do support the ones that are UK based and really we should be helping the UK ones first before tackling ones abroad. So many homeless and sick children in the UK yet we are supposed to help foreign countries first?

I'm afraid that you're way off the truth there. If one child dies every five seconds then it is survived by 20 of the 21 born every five seconds. This is just another example of the human inability to deal with the realities of large numbers that makes it so hard for charities to get over facts in a way that can be understood.

I agree with Dave. There's nothing 'racist' about common sense.

The PC brigade are adding the the issues in this world, by crying 'racism' at every opportunity.

These people keep having more and more babies when they can't feed themselves FFS. In this country, most normal people stop at one or two, because they can't afford more, yet people who can't feed themselves have one after another!

Maybe sterilising them is a bit harsh, but they need seriously educating, and they certainly need some flippin' contraception!

Bob Gelfdof has a lot to answer for' he is a fool at best, and a mass murderer at worst.

I should say rather just good common sense, they are always complaining about the thousands of starving africans, but they go on breeding like rabbits, the Chinese had the right idea, limiting the number of childeren that a woman could have

Unfortunately not:

"And Tommy doesn't know what day it is
He doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is"

"Christmas" from "Tommy"

I'll get my coat.

That new Tesco ad with Ruth Jones and Ben Miller holding a party in their house. I would far rather listen to that bloke droning on about bins than see Ruth smug the screen out with self-satisfaction. Oh and Miller's a twazzock as well.
