That awful Jacobs cracker crisps ad with the bridesmaids miming to Black Box's Ride On Time. Dire advert. Considering the shape of their mouths miming, that ad will come back to haunt those taking part, mark my words.

, I'd say that whatever your phobias, just get in the tube. Better to be checked out than the alternative.
I appreciate your comment, but the nature of phobias, stress and panic attacks are that one can not " just get in the tube", one person in 6 can not, which is why they invented the "Open" MRI, which if the government are too mean to fund, I will have to out of my own pocket, even tho it will cost me 6 weeks of my meager state pension, my only regular income

the one with the kids drawing all over the windows and she washes it off with Karcher window cleaner, why didn't she stop them before it got that bad.?
If she stopped them she wouldn't be able to demonstrate how the appliance is able to clean several acres of window in 15 seconds or so

Dear Aldi

Those are not "fun size" apples. They are small apples. There's no such thing as a "fun size apple"; why would a small apple be "fun" and a larger one not?
.
sod it, you've just blown my best line, "Honey, it's not small, it's just fun sized"

my thanks for all those who have wished me well both on the board and privately, still waiting to see if we can find a scan method that I CAN do, going for a dummy run on a PET scan soon to see if we might do the, if so I will be "Radio active" man due to the marker that they will inject, they advise that after the scan I should stay away from kids, sounds a good idea to me, as a permanent policy

Hi, Istvan. Thanks for the update. I do have so much admiration for you for sounding so cheerful and positive about it all. I hope they find a good alternative scan which you will be comfortable with. I always enjoy your comments so keep them coming, please, and keep your pecker up!

Have you thought of hypnosis to enable you to have the MRI? It worked for me and flying.

Thanks, but the claustrophobia is too deeply embedded, working on something easier being able to lay down and sleep without a panic attack about not being able to breath, "I'm going to suffocate", No your NOT you idiot, just open that hole beneath your nose, breath through your MOUTH you numpty, only it doesn't work that way, phobias and panic attacks are TOTALLY irrational, if they weren't there would be no problem.
Phobia don't go away as one get older, they get worse, but if one is lucky, with help sometimes one learns to control them tho the point that they don't completely rule one's life.

That swedish-flatpack-furniture company with a 'you and me'(?) song, one of the couple going through life and at the end it pulls back from the mother and daughter looking at the photo album to show what is obviously Dad's empty chair. And a tag line about treasuring life. Thanks Ikea, I really needed the reminder*. Now f**k off. It's an advert. You are supposed to make me *want* your crappy furniture.




* It's not something I dwell on but if someone makes it the 'punch line' of their advert it slaps it right back in your face. Weird thing is, at Mum's house there is a sort of equivalent (but not exclusive, other people allowed to sit there!) but it was from the times when people knew how to make actual furniture rather than a load of temporary stands with cushions on them.

hey I found out what Ikea means in Swedish, it means I can't believe that they are buying this stuff!!

An incorrectly voiced Top Cat and Officer Dibble advertising the f***ing Halifax.
I enjoyed that advert.
I dont know who the actor is but I thought he did a pretty good impression of Arnold Stang. The guy playing Benny doesnt sound like the original Benny though

I wish you well too Istvan and hope you will survive the cancer - I wont' say "beat" it because like other posters have said, it's not a question of "battling" or "fighting". I also hope you can do the PET scan if only so that I can greet you with the immortal line from the Simpsons: Jiminy Jellikers Radio Active Man!! All the best to you mate

I kinda liked it due to the novelty of seeing Top Cat for the first time in two decades but then I realised that he's advertising a bank : |

I can't wait for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to pop up in an over 50's life insurance ad.

I like to consider myself an animal lover, but every time that bl**dy camp zebra simpers "amazing" I have an irresistible urge to boot it up the a*se.

There are a few adverts at the moment with people having stretched mouths - they are really annoying.

The Mya adverts still annoy me. The girl that now works for them is in another advert for them. I recognised the voice but my word she looks different without all the makeup. Unless it's her sister of course.

People eating biscuits with kittens emerging from them to the tune of Beverly Hills cop.

So… were the people who came up with this on acid or what?
I LOVE the kittens.. remind me of my lovely British Blue cat who we lost 2 years ago. I grieved so hard I made myself ill.

I have claustrophobia too and can't go in lifts - well unless I absolutely have to. But your health is at stake here. A friend was telling me MRI scans are much better than they used to be and they can play music while you're in there. Phobias can't kill you, prostate cancer can.

there is an "Standing MRI" options, that I am pushing for if I can't do the PET CT scan, if the Government are too mean to pay, I will have pay for myself, I have the forms and it does show a "Self funding" box.
But go in that tunnel NO WAY, but then I have an historic reason for my claustrophobia, I have it to the extent that I can not wear tight clothing, a wrist watch, rings or anything around my neck.
0ne person in six can not do the MRI tunnel, some of them have tried and ended up screaming and even fouling themselves, some have ended up needing psychiatric treatment after , not having the scan won't mean that they can't treat me, altho they might say that that is the case. What it really means is that because they don't have all the information they might be hindered in treatment.
