Absolutely.
But, even worse, is the fact that a current TV advert is using the music. So an entire generation are going to think of the tune as "that tune from that advert" rather than "the awesome theme song to the awesome Airwolf".
(Honourable mention goes to the theme for Street Hawk, written and performed by Tangerine Dream)

This is more a rant / vent but it is something that annoys me beyond reason.
I currently live in a shared house, with five other people (see the Odd Things Your Neighbours Do thread for stories of one person) whilst I save up to move out into my own place. Its generally not so bad, we all have our own rooms and en-suites so the only shared place is the kitchen, but sadly most aren't as tidy and respectful of the mess they make when cooking as I am.
Anyway to the rant, I came home the other morning from a night shift to find that a bin bag from our bin had somehow found its way onto the floor outside and had been ripped apart by the wildlife whilst the wind scattered the contents around the street. The majority of the crap was in my parking space so I had no choice but to get out and pick up all the sh*t with my bare hands (no gloves around) and put it back in the bin so I could just park up and go to bed.
What really pissed me off though was all five of the lazy f**kers had walked out the front door to go to work, saw all the sh*t in the street and thought "F**k it, someone else will deal with it". And they were right, they f**king won as I had to deal with it. As if anticipating my rage over the incident none of them had come home from work before I left to work the following evening, but the next time I see them I'll be giving them a talk about bin etiquette in the future. A day after the incident and I'm still seething over the sheer "I'm alright Jack" attitude and bone-idleness of it. I'm on the edge of telling them to sort their act out regarding this or I'll change the WiFi password so none of the c**ts can use the internet for a day or two as punishment, but I feel I'm already turning into the Dad of the house complaining about door slamming, mess and leaving lights on. Thank f**k I've almost got enough dosh to move out into my own place.
And breathe....

Having said that, despite the fact that I absolutely loved that show (and Knightrider, and Street Hawk, and Manimal (remember that?), and Automan (obscure), and Blue Thunder) I rather suspect that if I bought the box set of any of them I would find them pretty dire now.
Still, they were of their time and they were fun in their time.

My house has never had a number. It is the manor house in the village and has been around for at least 500 years. I've no idea what number you would/could give it. The nearest neighbouring house is 500m away and doesn't have a number either as far as I know. The neighbours further away might have numbers but might start at 1.
We're not worthy. M'lord.

I can't remember. Probably insurance or loans or something, I would imagine.
It was used to advertise some breakfast bars
