Who buys these bloody coins?
The latest one is a news reader waffling on about a coin to celebrate 50 years since decimalisation .
It £70 for an 11mm coin FFS.
But look, you are getting a 22 carat gold coin for just £69.99 and they are only making 3999 of them! (Yes I am being sarcastic)The latest one is a news reader waffling on about a coin to celebrate 50 years since decimalisation .

The actual scrap value of that gold (which is all it will ever be worth) is £43.215. Not great, not terrible.
Not as bad as buying some lady Diana tat from the Franklin mint I guess.
BMW rookie to rider ad on Spotify.
Not that bad but when that awful company ram it down your throat EVERY ad break it starts to grind.
Thing is with the these people I deliberately would not use a service or company like Amazon or the like that rams ads down my throat, am I the norm? Probably not, but I have often gone elsewhere for some things if an advert really offends or annoys me. I'm sure other must do aswell
Gone are the days when ads could be funny, factual, now they are ALL pretty much condescending, painfully thin in many ways or just trash. It cant work surely

The Halifax TV adverts
Something about it’s ok to go out, or ok to stay in
Looks like they are home made, dreamt up by the staff over coffee
No idea what it has to do with banking
Similar to the old Barclays adverts about internet safety
Zero to do with banking , just some incoherent ramble. Nuts

They, along with the charity chuggers, seem to be targeting the old folks, stuck indoors with a telly in front of them.The latest one is a news reader waffling on about a coin to celebrate 50 years since decimalisation .

Daytime Sky News and Talking Pictures (an old film channel) are an absolute spawning ground of this type of ad.
Having signed up to Netflix during lockdown and been dabbling on Amazon for a few years, pretty much ANY ad makes me want to smash the telly up!
We watched a "Bull" on FX the other night, in one section, there was 7 mins of ads followed by 6 mins of TV, then 5 more mins of ads! Not each break but i reckon the un time was only about 40 mins spun out to 60 with crap ads.
Amazing how soon you fall out of love with them!

At least I can whizz through the ads and theres nothing they can do to stop it.
The advertising industry and its intrusive advertising on tv radio and the internet will drive many people into pay per use subscription services and put them beyond reach of their awful output.

Scots donkey is refreshing in a sea of woke. I like.
I don't know if this particular one does (although wouldnt be surprised) have you noticed adverts put hashtags about the advert in some sort of premature buzz that the latest advert is going to be the talk of twitter by the twitter idiots?- scotsdonkey

Sunday night - marketing man is desperate to win the bid for listerine on Monday ............but what could he come up with, if only he had some sort of original thought in his body, if only he handnt spent all weekend partying in The City, sniffing lines, buying a TAG watch and banging Steph from Lloyds bank marketing.............................he sits down in front of his 65inch plasma in his 1 bed apartment with "bright fresh open plan kitchen lounge" , turns on the remote and BBC are showing SHREK..........................my god its good, if only he could think of ideas like this........................almost to the end now - oh how he loves donkey .............. oh how he loves donkeys singing and rapping rhymes.....then he' got IT !!!!- why not, he could do it, but people would know - would his image be tarnished, would they all look at him on Monday and see through his slick back hair, Hugo Boss shirt and suit, his new silk tie and see a fraud - would they , if he suggests a Donkey singing to a man using Listerine - would they see it
then he has a smug satisfaction inside himself as it dawns as he sucks up another line...........
this is why he's a genius
this is why everyone loves him
this is why men want to be him and women with him
this is why he justifies his enormous pay cheque and lifestyle
just put shrek's accent on the donkey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
his fist pumps the air, walks over to his window of his apartment and looks out, pleased with his work -
looking down at his 800 a month Audi Q5 jammed into his 1 allocated parking slot of the apartment block - he nods - yes, you'll be a Q7 come month end bonus...............
