About this - can you take your employer to an industrial tribunal for being sent to Siberia because you didn't want another drink, as it would take you over the legal drink-drive limit?

Does anyone else find her a little...reptilian? Her movements and eye contact remind me of the velociraptors off Jurassic Park.

I think it's suggesting that there is just so much choice at McDonalds that you won't know what to choose! "Ooh, just what do I get?"

Of course, for good grammar in that context, it should be "What should/shall I get?".

That's got a very gay vibe to it. Thought that the first time I saw it.

What is it with these silent ads? Got used to them now but they do annoy me.

Why does that idiot groan "new balls please" at the end of the voltarol advert? There's no lead up to it so I assume that, because he's supposedly playing tennis, and "new balls please" is a phrase associated with tennis, it's supposed to imply that he has hilariously been struck in the testicles by the tennis ball.

If I didn't know better I might think an advert was holding a man up to ridicule by trivialising a painful incident with serious possible repercussions. Silly me.

Funnily enough, I've been pondering this. I wondered if it was the hit in the testicles thing. Then I started wondering if the tennis was a metaphor for their sex life. She had a bad back so there was no coitus. After a dab of voltarol, they are at like rabbits; hence his request for "new balls please".

I agree gloves should be used, but when did they begin? I worked in a Little Chef from 93-95 and never had to use them. Some colleagues smoked and would've gone straight back into making food (but then smokers really are pig ignorant about health and safety).

It's the same concept as the ones featuring Vinnie Jones, Noel Edmonds, Katie Price & Laurence Llewelyn Bowen. These people are so annoying and are already rich that they are looking to make themselves even richer by playing the lottery and winning in order to create these crazy concepts to take over the world.

The lottery is asking that anyone but them must win.

Personally I think it's nice that these people are willing to take the mick out of themselves and leave themselves open to ridicule.

I married one like that, but then she resembled the vellociraptor in other ways too, our divorce cost me over £100'000

a pub near me is owned by a heavy smoker, he decided that as one couldn't smoke where they served food, he wouldn't serve food so that he and his customers could smoke in the dry.
You can tell which one it is, there are lots of people standing around out side eating pasties and sandwiches, and try to cadge sausage rolls off each other.
And why do they consider smoking more dangerous than drinking, I never got into a fight with a guy built like a brick out-house because I drank one too many Benson & Hedges

Thanks for the explanation Supersoul!

Mind you, I'll never see it in quite the same way again ...

or even better grammar would be, what should I have. You don't get it, the server does.

And that's totally idiotic - you buying a ticket does not prevent somebody else winning it; all that will happen is that they win less money.

The Ice Cream ad on the cliff. What on earth is the guy saying ? its certainly not enticing me to buy it.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but the ad (I have no idea what it's for) which has a CGI dog eating at the breakfast table with the family. The dog is just creepy and it has a voice that sounds like it belongs to some kind of sociopath or even psychopath. It gives me the willies.

Aarrrrrgghhhh!! That "This is our / this is our / this is our..." advert. You've never seen anyone move so fast to hit the mute button.
