Expendable.

Busted Flat.

Anyone think it is very insensitive the add where the father sits down in front of the twins and say one of them is not feasible, Where does that leave the vulnerable that are trying to get over their early lives. IMO it is insensitive.

I thought he'd get rid of the freckly one......

Dont forget about poor old outsourced grandpa!

BBDBB

It's the Daddy or Chips dilemma all over again!!!!

Awful film really

The Backwards Man

I think it's made up.

I am also sure that it is a fictional representation, maybe the people are actors, maybe they're not.

Speaking of fictional characters, I'm watching Liz Bonnin on BBC2 now and she's adorable Although she seems to share some of the mannerisms and speech patterns of Graham Norton....

Best ad on the telly at the moment.

Although I have no idea what they're trying to advertise as I'm always too busy laughing at it!

To be fair it's not as if he tells them he's chopping one up for spare parts.

You've just gone and ruined the sequel, where the dismissed party returns to kill her sibling and take her place!

Alf Veedersane

He could at least have put on up on Done Deal or Adverts and tried to get a few quid.

Some businessman!

As someone who works hard at coming up with sh*t threads on purpose I find it insensitive that you just waltz in here and start a completely sh*t thread without even trying.

Where does that leave the vunerable that are trying to get over their early lives as sh*t thread starters? IMO it is insensitive. :mad:

biko

I'm outraged and shocked.
Hope that helps.

You see a guy talking to the camera and it seems as if it's a manager telling two employees that they can't afford to keep two of them in the same job and they have to let one of them go

Then it turns out it's a dad talking to twin daughters, and he kicks one of them out

Enter tagline "You don't have to run your home like a business to save like one"

Fúcked if I can remember what it was for...

Correct. I laughed the first time I saw it - can't remember the last time that happened! The "Where's Grandad?" one is funny as well.

OP, please don't read Hansel & Gretel.
