George Clark seems to be on our local radio every 10 minutes advertising an overpriced development in an "upcoming" area near us. He fails to mention the view you'll have over the Aldi car park though, not to mention the rather noisy bar below.

Getting a wheel balanced a few times, chasing a strange wobble, only to find that it was the bloody Continental tyre all along.
That’s pretty embarrassing.

Some radio add about Money dictating everything we do,

Guy says, "I run my business on my watch", which doesn't make sense based on my understanding of English, I dont think he means a watch as in timepiece, but more my watch in a sentry duty kind of way, its your business, you run it all the time, you dont have a defined period.

Dont know why but it irks me, or I have missed the actual meaning,

He just means time is money so he has to account for every minute in terms of earnings.

Oh, and adverts trying to make a point that they arent as horrible as you think they are,

Like McDonalds going on about where their stuff comes from, showing annoying prattling mums going on about lips and aholes going in their burgers and a really trustworthy, noble looking butcher, "See, look at this butcher, honest as the day is long, he wouldnt put pink slop in your burger and beask in your nuggets now would he".

Now Uber with their safety thing "Our drivers arent as rapey as you think and have had a kip in the last five days".

And KFC "What the cluck", jesus, i worry that the adverts actually appeal to a demographic as I dont want anyone to exist that actually thinks their current adds make you want to buy it.

One from last night, LinkedIn, ok, I get it its an inclusive, diverse world but the diligent box ticking thing was toe curling, every single minority was present and correct in the most forced fashion, I can almost hear someone at the add agency shouting "Oh God, We havent got a ******, get me a dozen ****** like now" in a sort of Drop the Dead Donkey style.

Very much this! I wondered what the point was about the App letting your loved ones (family, friends, cat(!), but oddly not your partner) know where you are
Surely it's easier just NOT to hire murderers in the 1st place

You know your pop band has reached the top when you appear in an advert for boilers.

I can't even remember their name, I think it's Blue, but it might be 911 ?!

Philip Schofield WBAC ad on the radio trying to make an analogy about buying a new jumper and how you wouldn't trade in your old jumper.
No but you also wouldn't take it up the road and flog it to someone for half the price they'd originally offered you. rolleyes
