That Jamie and Louise advert is bullshit as well. Everyone knows they're loaded, so all they do when they want a holiday is get one of their people to make a couple of calls and they fly out when they want to wherever they want.

Normal people have to put deposits down, save up, scrabble around 50 websites wondering if it will be worth it in the long run to save £30 per person flying with Air Kazakhstan among poultry etc.

It's the ultimate "fuck you, we've got money and you haven't" advert right now. The thing is, she hasn't done anything of note in years and he is the worst slack-jawed tosser of a pundit to pitch up next to Richard Keys I have ever seen.

I went to anfield on september 8th 2001 to see liverpool getting stuffed at home by aston villa, Peter Schmeichel Intimidated liverpool, dudek watched three unstoppable goals rocket past him, and steven gerrard got a red card for one of the worst tackles I've ever seen. But the funniest part of the day was when at half time They put on louise Redknapp's new single "Stuck in the middle with you" on the speakers and dedicated it to jamie redknapp. It was fucking hilarious.

I don't enjoy watching it, but We Buy Any Car has at least achieved the job of making everyone in the country aware of the company, what they do and what their website is with practically no expense spent.

I'm unaware of this ad and I think I watch quite a lot of TV.

I'm happy in my ignorance, mind, don't enlighten me.

Harry: really?

The Lovejoy one's astonishing. You can't help wondering why they just didn't get him to go 'I know piss all about football, but with the pools, that's no obstacle to gambling on it all the same!'

pedantry & adverts


He's about the only columnist I see who regularly matches Wingco's standard...

The most dispiriting new word to be coined in 2009 is, in my opinion, "simples". It's not a new PC term for window-lickers...

For those unaware of comparethemarket.com's TV campaign, let me explain that it features a fictional website called comparethemeerkat.com, whose Russian-accented meerkat proprietor is supposedly disconcerted by the number of hits his site is getting from car insurance customers with no interest in his unspecified meerkat-based services. Presumably these surfers also have Russian accents and voice-activated web-browsers, as that's the only way I can imagine the confusion arising.

I think the new Halifax ads were devised by Howard in order to get him off the hook.

As for the Redknapp, why isn't Harry there with a knotted hanky on his head reading the Daily Star in a deck chair?

Activia always winds me up. The whole charade of Ms McCutcheon being just an ordinary gal pounding the beat saying that we should give ourselves 'tummy loving care'.

Using 'Gimme Some Lovin' merely adds insult to injury to this ad.

It's yogurt, people. Only you don't need a spoon. There, Activia, I've just saved you a fortune in advertising costs.

They might do better when cold calling the public if they offered a free conservatory to anyone willing to top Doyle, who takes smugness to a whole new level.

Let's face it. You didn't think Everest would be doing that now. Did you?

Jesus, that is truly awful. I thought Howard fucking Brown flying around on his flying fucking swan was annoying, but I may start a campaign to get him back after seeing that gaggle of mother-fuckers.
