It is not so much the advertisements that make me want to dispose of the TV. Has anyone else seen the episode of Doc Martin where Aunty Joan has a "love in" on the stripped pine kitchen table? OHMYGOD!!!


I can still see her carpet slippers and swollen feet swaying backwards and forwards...


I need to lie down.

The volume on all adds is sooooo much louder than any programme one's watching, more so if it is a 'white bearded' black and white movie.


The solicitor adds, of awkward ungainly dumplings, slipping on a wet marble floor in 4 inch stilletto's...........how impractical to wear such footwear. The term 'just deserts' springs to mind but the encouragement of people not taking responsibility for their actions and/or decisions arouses my impatience and anger.


There should be legislation to prevent us moving toward the Americanization of the British way of life.

Stick around for the ad on Channel 4 for the Kubrick season of films ending with The Shining. The advert for it starts airing 1st July. It is astounding. I was involved in it. 90 second one take thingy.


Not the sort of ads you're talking about though.


The ones for Parazone wrapped round The Bill are so naff. Yes, I do sometimes watch The Bill.

Oh, yes. I'm with you on that one D_C.

Most cosmetic ads are awful and full of bad science, but surely the worst is Pierce Brosnan for L'Oriel. Cantering along the beach and talking about the environment, whilst looking after his skin, because, well, he's worth it.


One that I quite like though is the one for the new bubbling device in cans of Kronenberg, where all the little chefs (inside the can of course) cut the bubbles up into smaller and smaller bubbles...

It's OK James, you've made a clean breast of it, and that's the main thing.

If you ever find yourself strapped to a sofa first thing in the morning it has to be the alternating Litigation/Loan adcycle(usually during the Jeremy Kyle adbreak). Sue someone or consolidate all those little debts into one great f**k-off debt. Either way your either f**king yourself or your f**king someone else. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside doesnt it....

Oh, and the other really annoying ads are the ones where inanimate things are humanised, presumably in order to convey their message more clearly to us dumb bunnies. Firemen in your stomach-settler, TicTacs that run down the street, talking germs in the lavatory... it's just weird and a bit creepy.


Except for the car/robot one, as Honaloochie B says, which is cooooooooooooool.


Buggie - moonpig?? You DO need to elaborate!

    • On what basis do you object to the economy spend numbers in the report and describe it as "extremely unlikely"? Is that objection based on data or is it vibes-based? Where does this estimate of "50-100 vehicles" come from? The objectors:supporters ratio doesn't speak volumes. Planning applications of this sort always receive objections from various curtain twitches and NIMBYs. It doesn't mean those objections are well-founded or sensible. The planning officers and councillors need to consider the issue objectively, not just count the letters. It's not a public vote. Saying the building is "out of character" is meaningless out of context. It's an unusual building on an unusual infill site. It's not supposed to be a model for future development across Dulwich as a whole.  We are in the middle of a housing crisis. London desperately needs more housing units. This is an opportunity to get a whole bunch of them on a small, unloved industrial site on top of a transit hub. Not building it because people like the Dulwich Society complains it's "visible" is crazy.
    • Not if someone wheels over it with a pram or a heavy footed person steps on it and it hasn't been tied up or is tied but explodes everywhere. Yuk! Agree we definitely need dog poo bins back again, particularly near Peckham Rye park, along Crystal Palace Road, and by Goose Green.
    • I would also like to thank James Barber for his full outline. Given what seem to be clear mistakes in interpretation of the plans by Southwark Council planning officers, there seems to have been a lack of due diligence. 
    • Many charity shops still take and sell CDs! Many people buy them! Locally, both the Mind shop and the Vision shop sell CDs. Possibly others who I've forgotten.  If memory serves, the Oxfam shop in Herne Hill does as well, though it sells them at a higher price than most charity shops. My partner is constantly looking through charity shop CDs, and delighted when he finds music he likes! Please don't bin them!
