On the subject of betting adverts I noticed that the start of the Euro's, and as a result massive increases in people betting on it, has coincided with an advert being run telling people not to "make a bet when you're angry" as it could be "a bad bet", before reminding you that "When the fun stops. STOP!!".

Yes, like that will make any real difference rolleyes but is obviously being run as an aside to all the other adverts for all the other betting companies littering the ad breaks now all grabbing for everyone's £££.

The ones for on line bingo, how do they get away with implying it is all fun in a big group when the reality is bored housewives in their dressing gowns blowing their last pennies.

It's like the "Health lottery" winners.

Pretty much all will be on benefits and unhealthy.

Same as the postcode lottery, in fact LOTTERIES.

I'd love to see a breakdown of winners by social class.

You are right. Do it by location. See how many winners come from Esher, Wilmslow, Poole V Doncaster, Clacton, Hull type of thing.

Some payday loans vultures where the ad voiceover speaks the APR as something like "two-oh-seven-eight per cent.", instead of two thousand and seventy eight.

Men in tight shorts perhaps?

Cheap at thrice the price. Glad the days of wonga seem limited. Trading on the misery of others.

New Barclays ad where the kids are all playing in a kids reality, quite endearing on first viewing, now annoys the crap out of me.

That chuffing James Martin ASDA advert - incredibly wooden, stilted and cringe worthy. Are they using the same advert agency as Tesco by any chance? Absolutely terrible.

Not to mention that the size of the sandwich he makes for circa 6 people at a picnic is hilariously small, they'll be lucky if it stretches to a slice each. If this was me I'd not be saying "Thanks James!" I'd be saying "WTF is this? You do realise there's 6 of us don't you. Thanks for ruining the picnic you t**t!"

Not really an advert, but the sponsor clips for "Mother's day" showing on ITV2 at the start and end of every ad break at the moment. Four clips shown relentlessly to the point where they've gone from being slightly funny quips to intensely annoying. It's not the first time they've done this with a film, but I think this has gone on longer, and become more annoying, than any of the previous ones.

Yes! There's another wher he is told there is going to be a barbecue for the kids, the teenagers and the grown ups.

He goes to Asda and comes out with two very lightly laden carrier bags to feed what appears to be 50 people.

Also makes up a cauliflower cous cous type thing.

Now, I accept I'm more of a volume man than fine dining but if I ever went to a barbecue where the host bought out two Asda carrier bags and a cauliflower cous cous I'd be out the door fast.

Can't stand the fat chef though I do believe he is a serious petrol head so can cut him some slack.

If by 'petrol head' you mean 'dick head' then yes. He's like a less likable and amusing Jeremy Clarkson, which is some achievement.

No one mentioned Lewis Hamilton in his L'oreal advert yet?

Noticed they've dropped his lines recently as clearly acting is not in his foreseeable future.

Stick to driving Lewis.

On a side note, does anybody actually buy stuff because it's been promoted by a celeb? Do they actually think that by buying said piece of tat that people will think they move in the same circles of said celeb? Or is it a case of if it's good enough for Lewis, it's good enough for me ignoring the fact that Lewis or whoever gets a shed load of cash and couldn't really give a monkeys over the product being promoted?

Always seemed odd to me.
