Oh Thank God you said it-was beginning to think it was my own bad luck.

EVERY teacher I met-no matter how far along into their career they are pulls that 'bossy' outside of the classroom thing.

Either that or they talk to you like a child, afraid to swear.

I swear like a sailor, I find that really annoying when someone holds back.

Or they pause at the last word or 2 of a sentence and want you to finish it for them like they do with the kids in school :rolleyes:

We'll get slated now for trying to turn this into a teacher-bashing thread. Not bashing them in general, just the bossy traits that seem to be common with alot of them, where they don't understand that they are not in a school anymore.

I think it is because back in the day in Ireland, the teacher, doctor and priest were the only educated people in the village, so were treated like they had authority in the community by the ordinary Joe Soaps. Some of them revelled in that status :eek:

Im a teacher and it get really annoying when if your throwing something up here on boards people are like watching like a hawk for grammer or spelling mistakes, as if your writing a novel. I dont hold back on swearing too much i think , but since becoming a teacher I have become pretty conservative. i was a real laddish young guy growing up, you know that FHM Brit lad culture, going on the lash ending up in kebab shop "fights" at the end of a night, shifting all round, me or acting the maggot at GAA games like giving it loads on terraces while sauced up! usual early 20s fun! anyway some of my casual friends from then have come back from Austalia and i just know there a little bit let down by my new conservatism!

Will they ever stop playing that one with some godforsaken island that just got the internet? Every second ad break has it.

dunno where i was going with that earlier rant, but i know people were just edgeing to get the claws into the teacher ****! i presume people were taking the piss when they started correcting it?! yea the ad with the island is annoying, your man on about decimated with emigration definitly dosent sound like hes from Aranmore islaand

Muahahaha

The Its4Women insurance ad has their voice over done by the same voice actor that did the annoying Suzuki Vitara car ad, remember the one where he says hes really successful and about to go into the most important meeting of his life but decides to go joyriding his cheap jeep around a quarry before it.

Anyway the voice overs accent and exaggerated emphasis on certain words really annoys me. Plus it sounds like its a 14 year old is child doing it.

Tampax is addressing the issue of tampon discomfort on the small screen in its latest TV campaign, launching today (1 April) and running until the end of September,

"We found from consumer surveys, interviews and focus groups that UK women of all ages were experiencing discomfort when using a tampon. Many felt that tampons just ‘weren’t for them’, but we believe the problem is with incorrect insertion. The ‘light bulb moment’ for many women will be the fact that, if you can feel the tampon inside you, it’s probably not in far enough."

the purple tin

The Kellogs one where the lad in the office pours a bowl of cornflakes and then this woman comes over and gets right in his face like she wants a square go. Grabs a big fistful of cornflakes from his bowl and eats one before turning on her heel and walking off. She's looking at him the whole time like 'wtf ya gonna do about it?'.
it's possible that the writers intended the scene to be flirtatious but it actually comes across like bullying in the workplace.

Oh God, I've just seen the tampon one. What a patronising load of bo!!o×. Just another marketing ploy to make feminine hygiene products even more expensive.

"Let's talk about leaky bladders".

Let's not.

There will be no new ads made for a while
Unless it's those old fashioned ones with a still picture and a voice over we used to have.

I've said it before, women must get fed up of the tampon/liner adds with their patronizing themes. "With this product, i feel happy to go mountain biking". At that time of the month my ex was fit for baggy pyjamas and the couch, plus lots of chocolate.

For a while my favorite ad on TV was the gymnast on her period, bending all over the place. As a red-blooded male I loved it, my inner feminist however, not so much.

Well there's your problem right there-become an egalitarian. Anything modern day feminist related always ends up bad.

Just saw the Tampax ad fir the first time during the Late Late show last night and it was a real WTF? moment. The tagline 'Get it up you girls' matched with the tacky tv show and audience live setting really is a sight to behold.
