    I love Lamb. I love stir fries, It'd never occur to me to incorporate the two. In fact, I'm not convinced it would actually work.

    Off topic but lamb stirfry is lovely! Just a bit of sesame oil and soy sauce, works a treat. I just find the premise of the ad irritating, as if two adults would have only just discovered lamb! It's not the most logical thing to be getting worked up over but hey....

    I'll try it. But yeah I agree the premise is silly. Generally I choose the dish I'm going to do and buy the ingredients for it, not the other way around.

    I grow rosemary plants and love the marriage of rosemary and lamb so generally opt for roasted or pan fried, with onion gravy and mashed or roasted potatoes. Rosemary works great with both also.

    Factory made frozen German pizza is an abomination in itself.

    Business Developer: Good news everyone! I've registered the company name for our new food manufacturer. Unfortunately Goodfellas our first choice was already taken.
    CEO: What did you choose instead?
    Business Developer: Dr Oetker.
    CEO: What? That sounds like a company that makes powder for itchy feet.

    Husband was on nightshift when I saw the pizza ad... I went "oh no!! Oh god please no!!" Then went we sat down to watch TV, I had to take his hand and say "Oh, hun, please don't be afraid, but it's back. The ad. It's back." He immediately overreacted and scared the living crap out of our cats and dog and yelled "Not the f##king pizza one!!"

    Actually a true story.

    Ulster bank where the daughter spills milk on his passport application form or whatever it is. The daughter compares his picture to him and then shakes her head. WTF is all that about?

    I can't say I've wanted to know what it's about enough to actually pay attention, but now I know it's for Ulster Bank. Thanks.

    I decided to watch some random ****e on Sky today, and the charity ads were worse than ever. "This is the sound of a baby bear being ripped from its mother's paws." JFC. Then something about a little boy starving to death in the next ad break.

    It's not that I don't care, but these sorts of ads have been on for how many decades and the problems are still the same. No amount of aid will fix them.

    I only pay for Sky so my mother can use it, and I don't see why I should have to watch these ads, it's expensive enough.

    I think he was about to get angry over the milk soaked paper, but then they all laughed instead.

    The ad annoys me because I know when I was a kid I would have got a clatter regardless! And probably an extra clatter for laughing at dad's old passport. Oh, different times!

    To be fair I don't condone giving children a clattering at all!

    Always though that pay tv should have levels of ads

    Basic package of Pay TV - 6mins per hour
    Next level - 3mins per hour
    Top level - none

    You pay more the higher you go. Bit late now saying it!

    I wouldn't have gotten a clatter, but the mood definitely would have been along the lines of For fecks sake. Not, lets all laugh about it.

    Food processor in Germany since the 1890s, and a shady past during WW2. I'm assuming the original Oetker had a doctorate in food science, not a medical doctor.

    The advert for 'DIY SOS: The Big Build' with Baz Ashmawy...

    I can't imagine watching the show for ten seconds if the advert alone is anything to go by.

    Especially the sign off by Baz with his 'Hard work is good work'...

    Yes, 'hard work'... from a guy who got hammered drunk, tweeted himself getting hammered, and crashed a 100, 000 euro car. Pillock probably only turned up for an hour every day, shot his scenes, and fecked off home. Leaving the 'volunteers' to do the work.

    Oh, and they're volunteers. While he was paid to do the show.

    Looks totally dodge alright. Spouting "you can trust us cos we care" or some garbage wording like that.
