Ugh. Nearly all adverts ever in the world. I mute the telly and read during ad breaks

Muting is good, because to catch your attention the adverts are always REALLY LOUD. But
I never watch live commercial telly - I record everything and fast forward through the breaks. I am the advertising industry's nightmare scenario.

I download all my shows and the nice pirates have cut all the commercials. :)

Why the f**k do they do that?! If they didn't I'd probably just read or potter and they could at least have a go at some subliminal advertising, or telling me in the background that they exist. Because they scream at me I jump a mile and desperately seek the mute button, ensuring they have the attention of none of my senses.

ITV4 is the worst for this. I'm quietly sitting there late at night, watching one of Bourne movies that they cycle every 24 hours for all eternity, when all of a sudden -

'Meet local gays in your area on the Gay Xchange!' whilst someone who looks a bit like Kevin Murphy rings up some chutney ferrets.

lmfao

Laughing out loud Yes, I've fallen asleep the volume goes massive with 'Miracle ABs and butt machine' advert, the last bloody thing I need.

Foreigns in the bank. What bit of 'you need ID to take money out' do they not understand? Go home, get your fake passport and rejoin the queue, you foreign.

Arguing with the bank teller for 10 mintues and holding up everyone else is not going to get you your money. In short, stop being foreign.

Rolling eyes And I thought I was contravertial!

:D Hate easy quizzes and love Only Connect! often catch it very late after pub and STILL can answer correctly!
Cool

This quiz makes me feel very stupid. Unlike Celebrity Mastermind, which had a dumbed down general knolwedge round.

Hot Cross buns in the supermarkets already! It's january. Or did I accidently sleep for a couple of months?

It's Valentines Day tat next surely?

Valentines Day has only started to become popular here in the last few years although it has always been around. There will be cards for sale and florists will do well but supermarkets don't generaly have big set ups or anything. It's becoming more common for restaurants to do special menus for the night but again it's fairly recent. Don't believe in it myself.

My dad who is of a certain age when faced with a rather stern Asian lady serving in the post office inquired 'Why don't you people have any manners?'
