    Actually MR E , the post was poorly written.

    I meant those who were in the public who have internal lights up since 1st Nov, have wreaths on doors, some with Xmas trees up .. I have seen plenty in the first week of Nov.


    Those kind of tools..:P

    Pardon my ignorance, since I follow this thread, but really listen to very little radio any more... are we talking about Bóthar?

    I think African lads would rather a ticket to Europe instead of a few animals for subsistence farming.

    Jervis Christmas ad is particularly irritating.

    It appears they’ve wheeled TG4’s sly and sultry Widow Quinn for the PhoneWatch black Friday ad, “suil eile” indeed.

    I can only presume that this was the same guy that ordered that printer for the Government offices.

    Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

    Just heard it there.

    Now all I need to hear is "Would m'lady care to dance?" and that's it. Christmas is here.

    "Little boxes on the hillside,
    Little boxes made of ticky tacky
    Little boxes on the hillside,
    Little boxes all the same,
    There's a pink one and a green one
    And a blue one and a yellow one
    And they're all made out of ticky tacky
    And they all look just the same"

    if a car company is using this song, to sell you it new car, and if its successful, and everyone goes out and buys the car, then by the very nature of it, wouldn't every car, look just the same, even though the add is telling you to be different???

    forget the make and model of the car in question :)

    The Nissan Joke. Possibly one of the uglier SUVs on the market. Noddy car on steroids.

    Please move if not in the right forum.

    Has anyone heard the advert for the Suzuki Vitara on the radio?

    Has to be, without question, the worst thing I've ever heard.

    Premise is a guy going for the most important meeting of his life. But realises he has some spare time so says 'Lets play'. I was then expecting an advert for the Lottery or Paddy Power.

    But no, the Suzuki Vitara.

    Any other adverts that just scream 'should never made it past the storyboard'
    ??

    This one is covered in the “worst radio ads” thread but, if you see the ad on TV, it is a child doing the voiceover so it makes a little more sense.

    The one on radio just sounds weird and unsettling.

    And the‘ Brendan Keenan’ type accent makes it worse.

    There I was driving into work this am when the "are we there yet..." goat thingy came on. Followed straight away by the unctious and smarmy AIB eco ad when irelands most disreputable financial institute tries to convince us that they are pledging to be more eco friendly "every day". Jesus wept - thank god I have a CD player in my car, a library membership and loads of audiobooks...

    They must be written by the same people who do a female version for pensioners who can't boil an egg or remember the name of the postman. Personally I enjoy the Wiltshire Farm Foods Ads as I try and imagine what Jimmy/Benny Hill/Pat Mustard are really delivering. :D
