te is hardly "Driving" is it. bks. Christ, you're a miserable bunch. I think that a group of friends feeling happy about the shared experience of actually being happy, and singing along to a song they all like, with the implication that driving can actually be (gasps) enjoyable is a pretty positive thing in these dour times. The fact that they have chosen the wrong car merely means they have taken the first step along the road to motoring nirvana.
The first step on the road to enlightenment is the desire to learn, surely?

If we're talking about advert characters with ladies way out of their league look no further than the moonfaced ginger oaf in the current BT TV ad. If I was going to lock myself in a flat with the blond piece for 3 days' straight it would be more of a case of Breaking Bed then Breaking Bad. The TV ad is backed up by an equally annoying radio spot where she obviously needs a seeing to and all he wants is to watch X-Men, the .OH good the Christmas adverts have begun, I'm so pleased. Most don't even pop up on the radar, but there is one, one that fks me off beyond reason, one that makes me want to rip the Sky box out and smash up the television with it and then throw the whole fking lot out of the patio doors. This dubious honour belongs to the current advert from B&Q. the smug looking tts with supposed 'Super Powers' and all that old st. Again, no problem, we were bombarded with that bks through the summer, but the theme music. The theme music makes me want to hurt kittens, an apparent Christmas mix of 'Snap -I've Got The Power'. The bells, the bells, they just me off, the whole thing does. B&Q, fk OFF.
And breathe.

I'm never going to use google ever again. (this might not be true)

Me too, but all these 'sponsored by' ads are irritating. We've just fast-forwarded through the ad break, so we hit 'play' again ready for the next bit of the programme but no! the sponsor ad is on now. And it's most annoying when they try to 'tell a story' in ads. This technique was marginally entertaining for the Gold Blend couple in the eighties, and hasn't been since. I also nominate the Smyths Toy Superstore ads around the badly-titled "All New" You've been Framed, and whatever they're promoting on the sponsor ads in 'Scorpion', which I've managed to successfully skip over. See? I haven't even sat through those ads, and they're still annoying.Direct Line with Harvey Keitel reprising his role as problem-solver Winston Wolfe. The ads just don't work.
Keitel was in late middle age when Pulp Fiction came out twenty-odd years ago and now he's just downright old. He's lost weight and looks as if he's been unwillingly levered out of his armchair where he was happily watching Pointless and sucking on a Werther's Original.
Furthermore the defining aspect of the Winston Wolfe character was that he was fast. He drove fast, he talked fast he was fast. Keitel's character has ditched the NSX in the advert and now drives a famously low-powered Toyota GT86. Slowly.

I think the add is lost on many people (even many of those who watched the movie all those years ago) as Wolfe was a bit characterKeitel was in late middle age when Pulp Fiction came out twenty-odd years ago and now he's just downright old.

I don't like the voice of the man on the Waitrose adverts. Firstly he voice sometimes has a rising inflection, but not like he is about to ask a question, more that one would think he has an additional point to his sentence. But no, it just stops. Also, I can't place his annoying accent. Can't he just fk off.
k off.On the subject of Waitrose I nominate their current Christmas advert.
Evidently Waitrose can turn an antisocial / angry child into the most popular kid in school just by doing some home baking and selling the end results at school. Chances are said child would be more likely to add laxatives or something that makes all the other children & teachers ill instead
Also, the current Natwest advert running on the TV encouraging you to "bin" your current bank and join them. But the advert features their new client dumping all his mail for the other banks in a bin in a public location, so ideal for anyone to steal his identity and pretty much fk his banking record up
