Some of the trails on Greatest Hits Radio drive me mental.

Whoever's doing the voiceover needs to go to a speech therapist and/or elocution lessons.

Half the time "Greatest Hits" is coming out as "Greta's Tits".
Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.

Oh! The Co-op ad! I just noticed something!

Woman goes into the Co-op not wearing a face mask, but passing someone who does, and all the people in the background are wearing them.

I wonder if it is true that 'Kevin' the carrot in the Aldi adverts is to be replaced?
I have heard conflicting stories.
Have to say I actually liked those adverts.

So Park Christmas Savings are already advertising that we need to start getting organised for Christmas 2022.
Can we not enjoy what is left of this years festive season?

Gordon's Gin.

The one with the barman represented by a cocktail shaker, and the customer by a glass.

Barman offers increasingly bizarre drink combinations, and finally the frustrated customer demands "Just a Gordon's and tonic!"
Barman: "Certainly sir." [Beat] "Would you like it in a coconut?"

Now, in real life, the customer would probably respond with "No thank you. Would you like a smack in the teeth if you don't hurry up with my damn drink?"

The 'Better Naked' advert where husband is cooking what seems to be meat free sausages and woman coming home from work.

I think the 'Ribena' advert with the cats is weird.

I really don't like those EE adverts with Kevin Bacon and snake or one where he is buried in ground.

The absolute worst has to be the current Head & Shoulders ad;

"I didn't know you had dandruff" says random eejit.

"I don't" says the 'hero' of the piece, usually as he carries out some totally unlikely or stupid act.

Drives. Me. MAD!
Some people hear voices.. Some see invisible people.. Others have no imagination whatsoever.

Boxer, I quite like it as I sway my luscious locks from side to side whilst parading down the High Street and with my Harmony Hair Spray holding my toupee in place!
