I think it's for Cartell.ie where the woman seems to be enjoying prolonging her partners pain listing out the things wrong with the car he just bought.
It has outstanding finance....No. It's been clocked......NOOO. And it's been wrote off......NNNOOOOOOOO.

Yeah, another of those idiot guy clever girl adverts. He sounds like a right twat anyway, why would you but a car without running a check on it first.

awful awful ad. Its a funny accent i sad before that its similar to Paschal Donohue , theres definitley some form of "Irish/Dublin having living in England/London for a while" about that type of accent, John Kilrayne from RTE News has it as has Sharon Horgan the actress. the guy sounds like hes opens his mouth way to much when speaking, if you know what I mean

Del.Monte

Somebody on another thread thought the lad in the dopey crocodile Ad had an English accent - to me it's just another variation of the Dublin 'whacker' accent. Crap Ad too.

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.......

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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?
