    Data is pronounced DayTa by those of us that speak the Queen's English; Da Ta by wannabe Americans plus those that know no better, and Day Da by boggers like many of those who inhabit Newstalk Towers.

    I blame Captain Jean-Luc Picard for my pronunciation of Data.

    ...The guy endorsing the product has such a low voice it sounds like it’s one of those voice camouflage applications you hear on crime watch ...

    Morgan O'Driscoll?

    He was in my class in school for a couple of years as a kid.
    Didn't meet him again til we were in our late 30's.
    Couldn't get over how deep his voice was. It really is that deep.

    The correct pronunciation is the way Flight of the Conchords do David Bowie saying it.

    That Donnelan Joyce Galway property auction ad is back. His accent wrecks my brain.

    I hear “go to hell” instead of “go loud.” It took me a few listens to cop it (not that I had to wait long for a repeat)

    Ha, same here, GO TO HELL is all I hear with that ad!

    A raving jaysus bollix with very dubious claims about his product.

    The Wok of Cashel actually sounds better than the Rock of Cashel.

    Does that Aquazone lady talk like that in real life? :)

    That must take the award for unintentionally funniest ad of the moment. She is trying so hard to keep the pitch high, to sound like a child I presume, but she just loses it a couple of times and seems to give up at the end.

    She's supposedly a frog judging by the intro... rather like that new Galway Races themed filling station ad with a man posing as a horse.

    Another entry for a Paddy voiceover doing a dodgy foreign accent.

    The latest Moretti ad goes from "Italian" to Irish to something like Sesame Street's Count Von Count.

    Is Deirdre O'Kane actually having a stroke during that latest Appliances Delivered ad?

    At this stage I don't know whether to just turn off the radio (as normal) or ring for an ambulance for her.

    Any brand that hires her to do their ads should be subject to public boycott.

    I know this is a thread for radio ads but sweet suffering jesus everytime I turn my TV on I see Dermot Bannon's smug face on that Vodafone ad helping the young wan baking in the kitchen. Its the part where he stares down at ya smiling smugly before preceeding to pop a glace cherry into his gob, definition of annoying man.
