    UTV has really depressing car crash ads on as well. ITV has nicer ads. Makes the Downton Abbey/Vera experience all the more pleasant!

    "Just one look was all it tooooooook..you were driving too fast to cope with the unexpected..never ever drink and drive."

    And that other one with all the people saying "Every drink (something something) that crashes." With the coffin shaped pint.
    How come ITV doesn't show these ads?

    I also hate the Northern Ireland-based ads for the likes of Lunn's the Jeweller's and The Spinning Wheel.

    They're basically just cheaply made ads with a blank screen, clip-art images and boring Nordie voices.

    Hubby wont let me watch those, they are on when I am ironing, and he is very fussy about his underwear being ironed properly, so no distractions.

    Yet I would take their simplicity any day over the poor low quality CGI animations like what Cost plus sofas were using. "BED'S BANJAXED!"

    Do you mean cinema ads from 1983, or are there actually still ads like this shown in cinemas outside Dublin?

    Petrol stations with signs blathering on about "Low-Cost Fuel Deals!!". So I take it the craic is, I stroll in and say something like, "Well sham, here's what I'll do witcha: fifty litres of Unleaded 95, €80! Am I to take it from your blank look that it's not that kind of operation, in other words far from offering "deals" you're exactly the same as any other forecourt in the country? Yeah? Fúck you!!".

    1. grab umbrella
    2. Close it.
    3. Insert firmly in offending person's bottom.
    4. Open it.

    The ongoing Miley Cyrus v Sinead O'Connor spat

    Both of them need to just get over themselves. Even worse are the media editors who consider such crap worthy of publication

    Unfortunately the world is now full of people who care about this type of spat.

    Not a trivial thing, but earlier on the radio, the announcer said " and later, we will have Marty in for Derek, after Joe". and image I will take to the grave.

    When people change wikipedia articles because they think it is funny. It stopped being funny years ago.
    Case in point: Bones (Tv series) episode descriptions:
    Booth proposes to Brennan, who accepts and they have a four way with cam and Angela and some oral sex
