I'm not sure it does. I think there are two boats.

Ah, is that what it's advertising! (and me a First Direct customer as well...)
Yep. I use Santander, because I approve of Jessica Ennis, and Natwest, because when I opened the account, their advert didn't annoy me.

Rarely does an advert induce as much utter disdain in me as the new Go Outdoors advert, with various charisma-free people explaining their purchases to the tune of the Village People's "Go West".

It's like the TV equivalent of one of those local radio adverts voiced by people that actually work at the firm being advertised.

Is that the one with, "Burn off that lard...you can get a discount card"? (cringe)

I went for FD because their £150 incentive was £25 better than anyone else's.

Where's my free stuffed platypus toy then? Missing a trick, First Direct!

When the blue boat docks there is a red boat in the background.
You then see people getting of the blue boat with the red boat still in the background.
Have I missed something?

But it looks like they get of a red boat. Now I am confused! Either way it really annoys me.

You can't see the colour of the boat they are getting off.
Let's look at the facts.
There is a red boat and a blue boat.
You see people climbing off a boat that isn't the red one.

The advert with the broken down moped on top of three or four recovery vehicles. It's sitting in a VW pickup and I swear I can see smoke from the _front_ of the VW - or maybe it's just my eyes. I don't even know what the adverts for - that'll be my memory that's going. Whatever, it irritates the st out of me.

That f***ing stupid Lloyds Bank advert where everything is in s_u_p_e_r s_l_o_w m_o_t_i_o_n.....depicting all the milestones in life that you can reach with the help of the bank, like death, relationships, births etc.

F**k off with your condescending horse s**t, stop pretending you are doing us all a favour!
You'd no doubt repossess my house in the blink of an eye if I couldn't meet the payments!
Money grabbing bast4rds, just like any other bank.

Rant over............and breath. biggrin
Ah yes but it's terribly PC because it's got two gay people getting engaged on it.

Also any advert like the shpock one, or Boomf. Boomf is not a verb!

There's an ad for OA the appliance people.

Features a woman who says (in an annoying northern accent)

1. She has to go and buy fresh fruit and veg 3 or 4 times a week.

Get more organised.

2. She buys a special fridge that keeps food fresh longer.

Any fridge will keep your fruit fine for a week, no need for a special one.

3. Her annoying son goes to the fridge.

Children of that age shouldn't be allowed to go to the fridge.

4. The new fridge "Leaves more time for FOON (Fun)

Really? Your new fridge allows more time for fun. I'm not having it.

Can't stand the ad.

I thinks it's for a loans company called Sunny. All the recovery vehicles are being towed by some bearded gimp on roller skates with a tow rope connected to the HGV.

we refrigerate far to wide a group of foods in UK, the continentals think we're weird, and all we are doing is buying in huge bulk, bunging it all in the fridge which accelerates something things going rotten, and then throwing 3/4 of it out. We prob should be going to the shops a number of times a week instead of the weekly or fortnightly "big shop", but i fail to see how a new fridge affects this - we'd only be putting far less in there!

Any adverts for betting site wind me up.

Parasites the lot of them - contribute nothing to the world and just take money from people for no real benefit to anyone but the betting companies.

Should be illegal to advertise IMO.
