    Honestly, I'm not a violent person but was someone would have to physically stop me from bashing that guy's head in. That annoying, smug voice. They were trying to irritate us with that AD and it worked....not sure what they're trying to pull. The previous AD was even more annoying and really seedy.

    Bernard O’Shea, is it? He’s not “washed up” just yet.

    The tide is turning…

    "we do it in the bedroom, we do it in the toilet...", the audio quality is weird on her voice. I can't decide if she's got marbles on her mouth or recorded her part over the phone, awful!

    The whole Ad is dire and is an example of lavatorial school boy humour.

    The new anti prostitution one.

    I thought I was listening to an ad from 1950s Ireland.

    Yeah this bugs me as well. It's the sneering, mocking tone. And the assumption that all men who use prostitutes are sneaky married men, cheating on their wives. When I'd say a large amount of their clientele are just single guys that can't get a woman.

    I may have considered going to Ricky Gervais, not sure after that ad. Iv seen him a couple of times but never thought he was pushing the arrogant comedian style.

    Would he consider himself a comedian?

    Of course they'll ALL be married men and have poor little kiddies who'll have to be told why Daddy was bold and is going away for a while.

    Supposedly it's a Ruhama vehicle, those lovely people once involved with the Laundries.
    Stones, glass houses.

    Fairly odd timing when it comes on, well before the watershed.

    You can certainly tell a lot of their opinion of men from the advert. They would never get away with such blanket assertions against any other demographic.

    I just checked that on Audible yesterday. They have some other guy voicing it, but I might get it just to listen to it in the car.
