Even more adverts you despise

The IKEA ad what a load of scutter. I’ve never darkened the door nor will I ever.

That VeriSure one! More because it's never off the screen. And I'm sure I recognise the older guy from something else but can't think what!

The two women are A list singers/rappers (I won't name them, why give them free publicity), whose monstrous fee is paid for by the average 30% cut Just Eat takes from the humble takeaway in Commission, an Admin fee, then Vat on top of those. Some takeaways barely make a euro on a €10 order.

They've increased their commissions steadily over time. Apparently they posted DOUBLE the profits for last year. If you go back to when they first appeared in Ireland, there was a locally run online app developed by some lad who had a big book of takeaways as clients, he got a small commission, and they got an online presence. Everyone was happy, No big marketing campaigns or the like. Your men came in, bought out his app and client list for big bucks and a non compete clause of course, then wrote to all the clients to tell them that they were their new online service, and hit them straight away with a monstrous increase in commissions. It was in the papers back then. I'd add JE to a list of businesses I hate, like Ticketmaster, most of those piss coffee companies, (especially Starbucks), Casino style online gambling sites and Sky TV.

Snoop dog and Katy Perry got 10 million between them for the previous ads, so at least that for the two wans. The ad campaign is said to cost 18 million. Parasites.

I detest that Pandora's box ad with all the wistful, sighing models trying to sell you utter shite trinkets that wouldn't be out of place in a Christmas cracker. Remember years ago your man Ratner of the big junk so called 'jewellery' chain H Samuel's saying their gold earrings were worth less than a prawn sandwich in M&S and wouldn't last as long as the sandwich. You'd be as well to hang the pull tags from beer tins on your ears, and least you'd have had 2 pints for your fiver. It sickens me to think of the hundreds of € handed over the counter of these places by well meaning sons and boyfriends for gifts that are worth little more than the wrapping.

Who even thought that one up ? I immediately grab the remote when I see it coming . I have no idea what its even advertising

What you're describing there is standard enough A/B testing and you're likely already subject to that multiple times a day when you use the internet, go shopping, or consume really any advertising. I've no real problem with that.

The problem I do have with this product is that it has a much more limited number of channels that can be 'recorded', forcing users to instead relay on catch up services. They are removing the one single innovation that makes PVR systems attractive : time shifting.

Sky don't make this functional downgrade in any way obvious.

Oh yes that Sky Stream ad is very annoying and it seems be on every second

That sums up the lives of many many people who are happy out.

I hadn't heard.... (boom boom).

So 'Little Help from my Friends' would be wee Daniel's favourite non C&W tune.

"Lend me your ears

and I'll sing you a song...."
