BT, another rebrand and another advert, however at least we no longer have to listen to Jimmy Nesbit anymore and go back to liking "Teenage Kicks" again

I had to look it up on the internet and the b*llsh+t about establishing the brand in common parlance etc is enough to induce chundaville.

Caught one recently for something called Pitpat which has some woman exhorting you to take your dog for a walk in various ways. A absolute load of bks. It has me reaching for the remote immediately.

I assume it's a cash-in on the sad way people treat their pets, these days. In the old days, they ran wild and you bought a few cans of Butch or Chum and a bag of Winalot. Nowadays, it's "all dogs have different dietary requirements, give us a call and tell us about your mutt/lawncrapper"

I had the misfortune to see this advert today. Jiminy Cricket it's annoying.

Over fifties life insurance adverts, affable old buffer Derek cheerfully going on about his demise and really worrying about his funeral, last time I saw this much enthusiasm and resignation for death was the "Ameglian Major Cow", the animal bred to want you to eat it and recommend the most succulent cuts.

And all that for a free pen.

Never understood these - you’re living in a house worth a couple of hundred grand at least that you’re going to hand over to your kids when you go toes up and you’re worried about landing them with a three grand bill for the funeral.

The current amazon advert with the queen song playing, not only can I not stand queen, or the shouting of that awful somebody to love song,but Alexa will not play a song that easily, mine constantly gets what you ask it wrong.

The latest 'Speed Kills' advert currently on TV.

Two kids sitting in the back of their dads car being taken to judo or something. Dad in a rush, kids saying to themselves they're scared, dad looks at his watch to see the time, hits a pedestrian, cue slogan "Pay attention to your speed!" (paraphrased).

No, seems to me that accident was caused by the dad not paying attention to the road - if he hadn't been staring at his watch he could have seen the pedestrian step into the road. Still, it's SPEED that kills, not lack of attention to your surroundings.

Yeah, perhaps they are more for people who dont have equity in a home or significant savings ?

They are all so st though, annoying characters going on about Jean popping off "lovely Service", but she didnt have a funeral plan so was dumped in a Wheelie Bin.


Funerals are st anyway, big stupid car with windows on a dead body in a box, how werird is that, nearly dead blokes with the worlds hairiest noses and ears to carry the coffin, mawkish 20 min slot in a crematorium whist someone who never met you says nice things, then off for ham sandwiches at a pub.

It's not a legal necessity to have a funeral. There's a company advertising on TV at the moment who provide a "minimum legal requirements" service involving cremation and it sounds right up my street. Mind you, there's nothing to stop you saving that cost and doing it all yourself - my sister did. Straight from the hospital morgue to the Crem, cheap coffin, no mourners. No service, no funeral directors. As long as the cadaver is disposed of in an authorised manner, no need for any of the sh*t.

This is what I've told my wife I want.

Then yesterday I happened to drive past a graveyard where a hearse built on a Maserati Quattroporte chassis was doing the honours (sadly no camera or phone with me). Very tasteful grigio of some hue or another, rather than the usual black, as well.

I might need to reflect further - what a way to be seen out...!

Cool. I have to admit I rather like the New Orleans style - horse drawn hearse, black horses with plumes and a jazz band. That's style to me, even if I suppose it's a bit hackneyed now.

Oddly enough I was at a funeral yesterday and just outside the cemetery gate, on the fence, was a 'TO LET' sign. Mind duly boggled! As an aside, some of the headstones were, well, very council... nuff said.

Derek doesn't have any equity in the house. Jim from Key Equity came around, did a jaunty little song and dance number out the front of the house then came in for a nice cup of tea. Derek took all the capital out of the house and fked off on a World Cruise with Junedad and blew the lot. The kids have no inheritance, so the least Derek can do is cover the cost of a funeral plan.

Or just dig him in with the plants at the garden centre so the remaining old dears can pop round, visit him and discuss funeral plans
