Adverts are a terrible waste of time and life even worse than sitting at a red light and almost as bad as roadworks. Years ago we used to have some really good & funny adverts. Now 99% are boring or about funerals / porn shops etc.
But the worst advert ever for me is this gold advert called "Gold Reserves " that blokes voice is so foooking annoying

If there were no adverts the free tv channels wouldn’t exist only the subscription ones.

Oh thank you very very much indeed for that information. I must admit I never knew that was the reason behind these " poor adverts". Would it be alright with you if in future I simply send you a P.M. when I need advice on anything in general but particularly politics / culture and travel.

I don't watch TV at all, gave up on it, rubbish programmes, biased news, woke presenters, too many non english people, the list goes on.

At least the coffee couple and the Renault family adverts showed an amount of thought going into their production. I guess it's now just AI and story boards with a group of brain-dead box-tickers

Mash potatosmash
The Clangers.

Mccuewans lager alive n kicking.
Milk Accrington Stanley.

Now it's spot the Englishman.

I why are all the married English women with Africans.
The only English couple is that old bitch wanting a new kitchen.
Found a website for painted doors.

I think the Nationwide ones with Dominic West are excellent, sometimes stop fast forwarding to watch.

Perfume adverts boil my piss- complete load of shite, never seen a good one.

Sanitary towel adverts are pretty grim.
Normally start just as I'm about to eat anything in front of the telly. Why the fat bird on ice skates?

Womens piss pants are the same too- like that would ever happen - 2 old birds at the gym, one telling the other about how much she's just pissed herself

I turn the sound down. It takes it all away.

I personally love the Ryobi adverts on talking pictures TV.endless fun trying to count how many times Ryobi is mentioned.i get a different count every time, which adds to the fun

You set yourself up every time Leggie, why post a topic like that when you already know the answer ? You had a whinge the other day about tv programmes why do you watch tv, it always appears to wind you up.
I can offer free advice on any subject whether it be politics, culture, travel even money matters.

always pick up a book and read a few pages when the ads are on. if its too dark to read i just switch off my brain and could not tell anyone what the last ad was when another popped up. never bought a single item because it was advertised on the box and guess i,m not on my own by a long way.

Its the wife who likes t.v. and believe it or not we British men ( who actually live work and pay taxes in U.K ) are in equal relationships so if one is watching something on t.v. the other is normally in the same room and not out in the muddy yard scrubbing your G-string. I am a free man who does what the fook he wants and doesn't need any permission from a man living in a shed with a tin roof.

I still pay U.K. taxes Leggie, just had my new tax code issued, lived and worked in the U.K. for over 40 years with the odd spell abroad very rarely claiming any benefits apart from Job Seekers Allowance on the very odd occasion, maybe twice.
Obviously your wife is in control of the remote in your house in fact maybe the household and you have to sit there in silence with your finger up your a*** drinking tinnies, why don’t you buy another tv and watch what you want in another room.
I live in a nice 2 bedroom townhouse with a tiled roof same as they have in the U.K.,2 en suites, hot and old water, ac and a nice outdoor patio area ideal for a BBQ at anytime of the year.
You really need to get out a bit more and see how other people live in the world Leggie, we don’t all wear thongs, you appear to have a fantasy about thongs Leggie and don’t live in huts with a tin roof, have you got your new blue passport yet ?

Rather have a British wife than have to resort to " buying a partner on eBay ".Did you get a good part exchange deal for your old partner against your new much younger partner. . Do you ever feel insecure or need helping in any way. I just worry a lot when " old men " need to buy a partner like normal men buy a car. I recently got a message from a poster I respect and this is the quote from him to me: "Jamie is wired up wrongly you can easily see that from his posts and the lack of humour from him ". That just about says it all for me frog.

Did any of these ‘porn shop’ adverts have any graphic ‘illustrations’ ..I mean
sat behind a bus at the traffic lights, while the wife asks why that plumber on the advert on the back of the bus has no clothes on and the two women are ‘wrestling’ with him could be awkward.

There’s a new one featuring pubic shaving…spoilt my tea.

Now if there's one thing that completely baffles me it's some gadgie wanting to shave his knackers and pubic hair.

What the fuck is that demented shit all about..?

Hygiene
And Fashion.
It's 2025 not 1975 now.

And hairy minges are now only for the demented.

Buy a wife no I didn’t buy a wife, I am not married, I rent one the same as you do, every man who is married or otherwise is renting a partner. She maybe even a he nowadays is not unless they the partner is the sole provider. How do you know I have a younger partner, where do you glean your info from, your being very presumptuous again or maybe it’s envy and jealousy.
BTW keep the posts coming Leggie I love winding you up more so you are so immature or can’t spell you have to keep putting emojis in your posts.

One word I hate is ‘partner’ to describe your other half.
I have a wife, a missus, an other half, I’ll never refer to her as sounding like a cowboy’s mate or a firm of estate agents.
It’s just there to blur the line between the married and living together…God knows why.

I say our lass or my partner depending on who I'm speaking to....even when I was married. I don't see what the problem is with that like.

For me it’s fellas say who say our lass, I always referred to my ex buy her name.

“our lass” is very confusing- it could, and sometimes does mean someone’s sister.

its simple really. if you are married then you have a wife etc. if you are not then you have a partner. nothing worse for me is blokes introducing someone as there missus when you know they aint married. one thing i,ll never get my head around is those who are officially married to a person of the same sex as they seem to make a bigger deal of that fact than men and women married do.

always a term that me and my parents always called my sister till the day they and her died.

I have never ever called my sister 'our lass'...just seems wrong.
But always call my brothers 'our kid'....even though I'm the youngest.

I called my sister a git…..and proved right, she lectures in Law.

Our kid is hpool lingo for brother.
On teesside they say Where's your lad for brother which in hpool means your a fudge packer.

Nowadays the partner word comes from puffs n lemons who are embarrassed for what they are.

I call our lass
Mrs B even though we not married.
Just words no big deal especially on here like.
Like more hpool lingo.


Why do cockneys put a W after every word with an R in it.

South of the river they say ‘our mam’ where we say ‘me mam’…and they call chuddy …chewy.
