It's worse than that though.

Does your house contain a natural and harmless smell that you don't particularly like, such as cooking cabbage or cat farts?

Why not replace it with a potentially carcinogenic chemical which smells just as unpleasant, albeit different? And give us your cash for the privilege.

Instead of just opening a window.

I've thought that for a while, the blonde Irish tart "I lioke my kids clothes to be saturated (well not completely) in lots of harsh chemicals that go into the water courses, but it makes them smell of unicorn farts"

Just remember to close the pack with a click!

The girl with the talking hair really irritates me. It’s all about snack food but oh I detest the 80 or so seconds it’s on my screen.

Uber Train ads.
Especially the one with the buck-toothed half-wit.
And just when you think it can’t get any worse, turns out there’re also even longer edits. Mercy!

Virgin Atlantic - The purpose of a uniform, by its very nature, is to present a 'uniform' appearance to customers - to indicate that regardless of the person wearing it, that the customer will receive a high, consistent, 'uniform' standard of service, without individualism, personality, overt shows of sexuality etc coming through. Budget carriers like Ryanair & Easyjet can seemingly enforce their standards re the appearance of their staff. It makes Virgin look unprofessional. They could save themselves money & let their staff turn up to work in jeans & a t-shirt if they're that keen to allow staff to be 'their true selves'.

This one puzzles me for a different reason. OK, I get that it's about diversity, so the black, homosexual, oriental, tattooed, nerdy and 'woman in a traditionally man's role' boxes are all ticked. Absolutely fine.

But where does the old woman sipping her drink fit in? As far as I can see, the only thing unusual about her is the really massive glasses she's wearing. If she only has one leg or identifies as a koala, they probably ought to make that a bit more obvious to properly get the message across.

I think you are missing the point that the passengers, on the plane, are celebrities, except for the young girl. The old woman is something in the fashion industry (or maybe from the Minions film).

No doubt there's plenty who hates it but the audible advert featuring the woman with a broken down pug 306 always gives me a chuckle.

...and that raylo advert still gives me a smile when he says 'let's do it....monthly'

Celebrities? Really? Who are they?

Air-up, I've got absolutely no idea what they are selling. I guess their genius idea is to pique my interest and for me to hit google. Well I'm contrary like that, there's no chance of that occurring.

However, my main gripe, and this seems to be creeping into a lot of ads for "ladies things" is, whilst I'm admittedly a pervert, my particular kinks have nothing to do with watching women having a st whilst on the fking khazi.

Have a word with yourself ad gurus, and show some decency.

Hmm, where would you normally expect watch a woman have a st?

From what I have read it is not her, by all accounts nearly all the people were Virgin employees.

However I think the same woman is in the official video for Soft Cell & Pet Shop Boys - Purple Zone.

OK I stand corrected. I have not been able to find any supporting evidence.
At the same time if I was Sporty spice I would be sending my lawyers around to ad agency.

She did cross my mind... especially after seeing this photo.

I think one of the passengers is Redd Pepper - famed for movie trailer voice overs, so not really well known as a famous ‘face’….

She looks to be modeled on Ace-T from the Sylvester McCoy era of Dr Who. The 2nd lowest point for Dr Who.

I thought at first it was somebody doing an impression of Uncle Albert from Only Fools And Horses.
