PH Ross and their BATrooms.

I was hearing it as 'batchroom'

The bathroom one is bad but the absolute worst one at the moment is the smug American git who is buying a Skoda (I think) 'All you have to do is open your tablet/yawn like you've never yawned before.....blah, blah, blah' It is truly painful to listen to.....

I hate it even more than your one from Cork who is at least my own age (old) and calls her mother 'Mum'!

And that other Yank berating his fictional child. Forget which one it is, probably insurance.

Yeah I know the ad you mean...can't think who it's for either. He seems to hate his kids, especially one of them...calls them lazy I think? Bizarre ad.

"live healthy like a Bosch".....

What about "Bossing" your accounts?
Utter tripe.

Jamie Heaslip Leaseplan ad that's on Newstalk.

There's another one going with Johnny Sexton. Can't remember who the company is but I don't know what they were thinking...he has the charisma of a cabbage.

The Eir mobile advert. Is the voice over guy trying to say Ireland because it sounds more like 'our land' or 'arland', I'm confused?!

Never mind the CCP's crackdown causing its value to plummet 50%, this is all the warning you need to cash out of crypto! :pac:

I don't hear many radio ads, and when I do I rarely rmember what they're for, but I did hear a Dublin man this evening selling his services to kit out my "batroom". I thought the ad was a bit too niche for my liking. How many listeners are going to have a room for their bats?

Do you have a number?

My mother in law is a right old bat and I'd love to lock her into a specially created room

What's the advert running currently with the talking car? An interviewer asks 12-D-12345 it's history to which the car replies in a thick bogger accent about all the misdemeaners he's had. Surely if they want to go this route of thick farmer paddy car the reg should be C, KY, CW, LS etc etc.

The DSPCA ad:
"your pet is your best pal"
If you say so...

And an offer to make your will for "free". That doesn't sound at all suspicious coming from an animal charity!

It's awful, could someone not tell him there's a H in bathroom or get someone else to do the voiceover? Plus he says it's loads of times too, gets on my nerves. It's like when Rachel Allen did the obriens saMwiches ads.........nearly as bad as saying sangwich.......

Seems pretty straightforward to me. Person gets their will made for nothing as long as the DSPCA is a beneficiary in the will. There is prob a min amount although I'd imagine it's a reasonable sum which would stop someone leaving them €2 to get the free will.

I think it's a great idea.

I haven't done one but I thought standard practice was to go to a solicitor if you needed advice. From some of the corruption which has come to light in Irish charities recently, I wouldn't be advising an elderly person I know to use the services of a charity for something as important as a will.

I'm pretty sceptical about charities myself. It's not the guy that mucks out the stables that does the will.

MAKE YOUR WILL
DSPCA 'Online Will Service' is a free service available exclusively through this DSPCA website.

The free service includes drafting and support from O’Shea Barry Solicitors, and is available to anyone on condition that they include a bequest of at least €500 to the DSPCA within their will.

There would be boggers from all over phoning and moaning if it were specified to a more rural area in particular.

I have never met another human being who gives a toss about Ulysses, never mind celebrate it. Now it's being plugged as if it's a fecking national holiday.

PHRoss... There is an actual H in their name and he can't even pronounce bathroom. He says it so many times, his employers must be using his lack of elecution as an ad gimmick..

That's pretty ironic...when you're passing judgement and slagging someone's pronunciation/accent.
