The ones where they offer to sort out all your debts by lending you 20k, but you have to pay them back something stupid like 80k.

 

I can't help but think that the people that take those sort of loans on are never going to be out of debt, ever!

I agree they wont! Seems lots of people dont like the ads for loans.

There are loads of rubbish ads on TV at the moment and the one that I particularly dislike is the one for Green Flag Recovery.

 

Simply for the fact that there is a bloke in the ad that is half down a manhole in the middle of the road eating his lunch.....who the bloody hell eats a sandwich when they are half way down a sewage pipe!!!!:blink:

 

Just rubbish.........

 

Ah yes, the comedy black stereotype with the bulging eyes "awww massa, where ham dat wartymelon?" it's as if we were still in the 1970's.

 

Still, I quite fancy the geordie woman in the Picture loans advert. She could borrow £25,000 of my money anyday.

That of course, is a euphemism, where £25,000 represents my penis, and "borrowing" represents me screwing her, while her husband watchs.

98% of them,TV would be so much better without adverts, but when you think about it, you would be left with 2 hours of programs:rolleyes:

Or sky plus. ;)

 

I don't actually find that helps. Lots of channels with sod all I want to watch on them.

 

I am seriously considering HD now though. I seem to be going through a "I deserve to buy myself a present" phase - but one present is never enough.

 

Anyway - back on topic - the halifax ones are probably top of my list. The sheer quantity of "we'll help you clear your debts" ones annoy me - but if you're stupid enough to get yourself in that situation, and stupid enough to think a 25% loan spread over 50 years is a solution then you deserve it.

No, just the ones you do watch with no adverts works for me.

 

Oh and pausing to leave the room or take a call and recording two things at once.

 

Oh god I sounds like an advert. :blink:

Pausing live TV is cool - and especially switching the TV on, finding it's half way through something you wanted to watch and then simply rewinding it.

 

Pausing to take a call? Are you sure you don't pause talking to watch TV? :p

Barry Scott is defiantly on my hate list..!

 

I find the adverts sponsoring programmes really annoying, especially the stella artoirs ones in between the channel four movies, they always seem to cut in at a critical part and are 10 times louder than the film...!

 

In fact all ads are about 10 times louder than what your watching... probably to wake you up :blink:

D'you know, when this seasons first GP was on, I stayed up late till 2:30qm to watch the Australian one, and in 15 minutes I think there was 5 ad breaks. I went to bed and have never watched any GP since.
