never knew that, hardly appropriate for a football team from a city with a district as famous for it's violence as Moss Side either though
Moss Side Story!

The Paralympics. The Special Olympics are a different thing.
Good point. However it doesn't make the ad any less annoying. I'm not sure what relevance, a dodgy Sinatra impressionist, singing an old Sammy Davis Junior song, has for Britain's Paralympic team in 2016.

Only seen it twice but this new Flash advert, is already getting on my tits. Surprised it took them 36 years, to make the connection with the Queen song. Would love to have seen Molly Weir, dressed as Ming the Merciless.

The latest Maltesers ad where two nurses are sitting at a table and Maltesers have been arranged in a circle, to be brushed onto the floor (such a waste!).

The characters mumble so badly I haven't been able to make out a word they say. I can't reach the subtitle button quickly enough either! Anyone understand the dialogue in this ad?

I thought we'd managed to banish the irritating, unfunny berk that is James Corden to the US, but unfortunately he is the new face of confused.com. Bring back Brian the robot!

Ohh they love their 'slipping-needle-on-a-music-record' sound effect at Xfactor don't they?

Basically used in every single one of their 'auditions' adverts and shows for the last 12 years...

Couldn't help thinking driving a car with a T-Rex track a bit tacky. Maybe just the fact Cordon was on it just irritated me.

The latest clearscore.com advert.

The first one was bad with the ignorant girlfriend was bad enough, but that kid screeching "pineapple!" Drives me nuts.

The Amazon ad. where grandmother orders a leafblower so granddad doesn't have to push granddaughter on the swing. Did they go to the School of Ugly Kids for this one?

I have two pet advert hates that really get my hackles up!


Then there's the radio ads where some idiot forces themselves upon you and steals your listening time by garbling through the terms and conditions at such ridiculously high speed that you've absolutely no chance at deciphering what they're saying. I hate this with a passion, and nowadays I avoid commercial radio like the plague just to be free of all this rage inducing dribble. I'm certain I'm not the only one who hates this annoying garbage. Anyone else out there who hates this as much as me?
Yes Justastray you are not alone.

Good idea Istvan. I'm off to look for a forum on The Only Way Is Essex, which I never watch.

I can't remember the dialogue verbatim but if I remember rightly the one nurse says to the other that she borrowed her necklace whilst out on a date with that bloke she likes and he spun her around the dance floor and then the necklace....(at which point the nurse spills the maltesers on the floor to indicate what happened to the necklace).

Is that Duggie? I never recognised him. He used to present a Saturday kid's show when Tiswas was on a break. Might have been The Mersey Pirate or The Saturday Banana.

I don't know what's worse, an advert that quotes "Don't try this at home" or a ridiculously obvious cutaway to and from someone else doing acrobatics on a gate.
Puts me off totally but to others I can only think of another quote that says "A fool and his money are soon parted".

It’s already been proven by science types that nothing inspires a woman to spend more, than seeing a guy get humiliated in some way. if a woman sees a guy fall in the street, or be a painfully embarrassing dad, it immediately inspires her to go out and buy yogurt and tampons, such is the rationale of the female mind…

Of course, once she has the tampons, she will suddenly get an overwhelming urge to play sport and for some reason, start to care massively about what other people may or may not think about that, possibly to the point of paranoia- she will feel the need to continually bark at people that she is perfectly entitled to play sport, even though nobody was saying anything.

When she’s not playing sport and being all grr about it, she’ll be busy shovelling in the chocolate, just not a snickers or a yorkie. Much like it is a well documented fact that no man has ever eaten a yogurt, It is also a well documented fact that no man has ever eaten any chocolate that isn’t a snickers or a yorkie, and that if a woman attempts to eat either of these products, she sprouts a thick layer of hair on her chest and her voice immediately breaks.

If she is careful though and sticks to woman chocolate, such as malteasers or galaxy, she'll be ok. It may not be amazingly fat free like the yogurt, but it is useful to use as a tool to split up with your boyfriend, or to explain how you broke a friend’s necklace.

At some point, she will require hair and beauty products and she’ll be well catered for, with a variety of magical potions that do everything from putting water in her skin (if for some reason she wants to do that), to making her younger, and plenty of things that make her hair come to life and be revitalised and strong, backed up by proper science, with reassuringly long and complicated sounding words.

With this vast array of great products, 21st century women are smashing the taboos nobody even thought were taboos (or perhaps even knew they cared about)- from kicking around balls to perving on men, there's nothing this strong, liberated, and other buzz words woman can't do, well as long as she is beach ready that is...

Would I be considered a nerd to suggest that Newtons Third Law of Physics says that equal and opposite action-reaction, means that not only would he need just as much energy to "Push" the child using a leaf-blower, but that he would need to hold up the leaf-blower as well

I know, I must get out more, but there is a leaf-blower blocking my front door

That's brilliant!

Do I detect that Tesco, bless their cotton socks, have dumped the irritating idiot of a teenager? The same family now seem to have two younger children.
