I hate them with a passion and was even tempted to move my accounts (I didn't as a) I opened my first account when it was just the Anglia Building Society so been there years and b) I couldn't be bothered with all the faffing about.)
I thought a new advert of theirs appeared last night ( that is all we need) it seemed similar to the rest of the dross when it first came on but I didn't wait to find out, I ran away screaming just in case. Having said that, I haven't either. We're lazy burgers, I suppose. |

Another magazine ad. This time it's the complete Star Trek novel collection.
First issue £1.99 and then the other 79 for £9.99 each. Comes to a grand total of £791.20! |

That one's £8.99 an issue as well (except the first two). That one runs to 130 issues, so that's about £1150. They send you four a month, so it'll take over two and a half years to complete it. I do wonder how many people see it through all the way to the end and end up with a finished model. And then what do they do with it? Put it on a shelf? There seem to be no end of these things (Flying Scotsman, HMS Victory, Millennium Falcon), etc) so it must be good business for the publishers. I notice the blurb for the Delorean on their website promises a "Fully functioning, time travelling model." Well it'll certainly be at least two and a half years into the future before you finish building it. |

That contravenes the Trade Descriptions Act. Nothing can time travel, at least not yet, that we know of!
The problem is, of course, alter the timeline in the past, and you are likely to radically alter the future. The original Star Trek series episode City On the Edge of Forever dealt with this well. It's considered by some to be the best ever episode of any series of Star Trek, which is good going considering it's fifty years since it was made. Unless of course there are time travellers from the future tinkering about behind the scenes trying not to get noticed.. |

"Right, let's go back and kill Hitler before he comes to power in Germany. Hey presto, no Second World War, millions of lives saved."
And what if Hitler had succeeded in invading us? When you think of how close we are to France it's a miracle they never did. We'd be a very different country to what we are now, that's for sure. |

Interesting notion.. I wonder what the world would be like now if there'd been no WW2. Wars push technology forwards out of necessity so I think we'd all be driving around in Ford Anglias still, and computers would need their own air conditioned room and use floppy disks. Planes would be propellor driven and have to land by sight, no instrument landings! (Not sure when jet engines were developed, perhaps they were by 1945.) But of course we'd still have atomic bombs, after all they ended the war with Japan.

Jet engines were certainly in use by the end of the war. Look up Me262 on Wikipedia.

Having spent the last two weeks in the Canaries, I wasn't expecting to be able to post one so quickly, but I have.
And it's from our old friends Clear Score, and it's hard to know which part's worse: him using his phone in a bathtub, or the dog wanting to jump in with him. (At least we know something else - his lady friend can walk.) |

Companies which are too stupid to change their American ads for English audiences. That one for Lenor air fresheners where the stupid woman keeps going on about keeping a fresh closet.
