What kind or warped world do these people live in?!!!:mad:

He’s right, though!

I’ve always passionately hated Gillette adverts, but when I decided to go back to wet-shaving it was a Gillette razor that I bought without thinking. When I realised what I’d done I was pretty cross with myself and now I’ve made a point of changing to Wilkinson Sword.

Alas yes. I know this sounds smug but I’ve never bought the products concerned, but on one or two occasions others have bought them for me;)

Err, no. What a relief! Reading the following you would have thought we had lost something really important:

Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt told BBC Sport he was “absolutely devastated. We would have delivered simply the best World Cup for 2018 but congratulations to Russia. It’s absolutely gutting. A very sad day, a heart-wrenching day for our country.”
Mmm – a heart-wrenching day for our country. Perthaps a sense of perspective is required!! And if he is devastated by this I would hate to think how he would react should tragedy befall a member of his family, for example.

Thanks for that admirable post…..saved me the bother and represents my view entirely. As you rightly say, a sense of perspective….. I wonder how long it will be before we get accused of being unpatriotic…..I’ll be ready:diablo:

Just south of Cambridge and still very little here. You can see us very well on the TV weather charts…we’re that strange little area that the wind arrows and the snow symbols have avoided throughout recent days, not complaining though;)

I’d buy that just for the sheer amusement! 😀

There’s always one:rolleyes:

cloudspotter, darren, yes thats it. It was wearing the all over blue scheme when we worked it. I really enjoy the pics of the older stuff:D BTW I passed my SAS load controllers licence examination working a DC9-40 turnround. Was I nervous? you bet!

Go Compare
Halifax
Vagisil and other ‘thrush’ remedies, and tampons, lovely at mealtimes! Can you imagine the outcry if a product for blokes problems downstairs was advertised on TV at peak time? perhaps Scroteeze or something;)

And my award winner is………..Iceland!!

A relative of mine used to work in the sales dept. of Lever Brothers and said to me once that anything that makes you remember an ‘ad is good news for the advertiser. I argued that it would simply make me avoid the product, he gave me a wry smile and said “but would it?”

But that does make you an anorak.:D

Oh ‘eck noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo;)
