Anyone seen the one for health obsessives where they are all rushing in for scans and medicals every few month to detect early signs of .... their bank account being drained by health experts giving them even more scans and medicals :roll:

This appears to be a new development of the comfort blanket for adults where constant health checks reassure them that everything is OK and the smiling nurse points out some scan display while the two old duffers nod sagely as if they have a bleeedin clue what they're looking at, followed by a picture of them playing golf and smiling broadly as they tee off, happy till the next check up in six months or whatever and totally failing to spot the the Tractor that mows them to a mulch on the green .... that never came up on the scan did it! :roll:

Its not half as bad as that terrible "carspotter" advert where they agree to send you two text messages, one stating what value your car has and another telling you about its performance. FFS banghead

Remember when I was at uni and my mates were having a discussion about money and familys etc my mate del piped up saying that his family wern't posh and the fact that his mam, dad and him had a health check every year involving a scan costing about £2,000 and was trying to say that this was the norm. Me and my other mate was laughing our caps off at him as he tried to argue that his family wasnt well off.

I love to hate the make up ones with poncey made up chemical names to make them sound as though they actually work. The best is the one with a shampoo with a pH of 5.8 .... all very good, but at that pH your head would dissolve, solve your dandruff and flaky scalp though. :laugh:

And think of the other savings...you'd no longer need to buy duts, spectacles, ear-rings....
