Just settling down to the footie and Figo's Just For Men ad came on...whatever possessed the man?? Someone who graced the pitch with such style "starring" in something so cringe-makingly naff...
 
Go compare & 118 118 now they really have me reaching for the zapper but trouble is most stations advert's are in sync and they are usually to be found anywhere you go,
but what really winds me up is when the volume just about doubles when ad's come on is this a delibrate ploy
by makers or a coincidence.
 
I do not watch anything 'live' any more except sport. All other programs go on the Virgin box and I wait 20 minutes before I start watching them so as I can forward through the adds,
 
Most of them! I swear if they went on the Apprentice task with half of these ads they would all be fired!
 
Pay day loans. One of them claims to be the "nations favourite".... and get this

xyz offers the lowest interest rate loans in the UK payday loans market. Lowest interest rate loans xyz are convenient and easy on your pocket.

Says who?.....Mr 1,734% interest and his mates.....

God help stupid people............

Just seen that ad and shouted at the tv 'Figo noooooooooooo'

The one with Andrew Castle is not far behind. I just can't stand any claims ads and all the betting ads as well.
 
The Go Compare ads.
I am not normally easily wound up, but the ads really flick my switch big time, I feel like picking up the telly & lobbing it into the garden.

I won't ever use that website on principle.

Your volume does that to. Was starting to think the tv was on the blink.
 
definitely the Boots ones with the heroics girls ploughing through the snow with streaming colds who bump into each other, then reel off a list as long as your arm about all the jobs they have to do like having to paint the lounge whilst preparing a 15 course meal for 40 people and do a presentation as they have a business meeting the next day.....all the while their poor fellas are in bed with a sniffle..........do me a favor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

makes my blood boil.... patronising cows!! :rant:

Yes! Power to the people. Get in.

I'm now taking flippin confused.com off my radar too......after making such a massive deal about 1,000 nectar points.

Oooohhh, that's an impressive £10 off your shopping at Sainsbury's. *deleted comment*
