Don't forget the deep fried Mars Bars, these advertising agencies really earn their money.

Though if more Scots bet against England the odds we get supporting them to win will improve, so hope it works.

The premise of the advert is flawed anyway. If Scots football fans want the England football team to lose, how is betting money on them to lose going to facilitate that? That would not be very canny use of your money - notice how I'm trying to avoid the stereotype of Scots being 'careful' with their money here!
Adverts for betting companies are almost always stupid and annoying anyway, coming up with different ways to persuade people to do an irrational act, i.e., to throw away their money. |

That new ad for Kelly's ice cream.
I love ice cream and was interested in the ad for the first couple of seconds until it just became pathetically stupid and an insult to the intelligence. I love trying new sweets and ice creams etc but I won't ever buy any of Kelly's on principle, after having to suffer that nonsense. ![]() ![]()

I dont think I've ever heard Cornish spoken before, I thought it might have been Welsh at first
And when he mixed up Cornish and English, it reminded me of when I've heard Hindi spoken in films and they slip in English

I didn't know it was Cornish, so that's why I can't understand it! I just thought it was some leery cocky little tw*t talking some made up hipster slang,

Plusnet is one of those long running ad campaigns which are inexplicable to me. They've never been any good, no-one likes them, no-one thinks they're funny or interesting and yet, year after year, they insist on trundling out that fat Northern git in some new scenario just as boring and unconvincing as all the previous ones. Ditto a million times for 118 118.
