    The one where the fella thinks his Da's antique watch has been stolen only to be DELIGHTED to discover his girlfriend, on a fashion whim, has decided to wear it out. She didn't bother asking him. Even though apparently the sentimental value is through the roof, it's the first thing he looks for after a burglary, it means that much to him. Ha, ha, isn't she a ticket!

    So it basically was stolen.

    I love malteasers. Who doesn't? But who would waste them in that manner? Like just spin them off the table? Irritating.



    Also, if Greys Anatomy has taught me anything, its that doctors aren't coy about their sexual deeds at lunchtime. You never hear Meredith Grey say she can't remember what she did with some fella last night.

    The under current of that gets kind of rapey the more you watch it.

    Like she's a nurse-sounds like she might have roofied him.

    No. No they did not!

    LOL I know this is the UK Just Eat pledges to remove all restaurants with zero hygiene rating from platform but that sets the standard so low that you really don't want the food.

    Edit> Well maybe after 12 pints you'd consider it :)

    I'd rather not risk it-no point spending your week on the toilet.

    I see the RSA Portarlington ad is back on yet again. Now don't get me wrong; the pain that family must be living through is unimaginable. They have my utmost sympathy. But that ad must be at least 4 or 5 years old now. There must be a danger of compassion fatigue with a percentage of viewers. I don't "despise" the ad (far from it), but perhaps it's time for the RSA to invest in a few new ads.


    They don't want your compassion. They want you to see the horror that arises from drink driving and decide not to drink drive.

    Those stupid Hyundai ads. If it’s not bad enough they’re slow AF diesels cars. Hyundai and Kia really are cars for people stuck in boring public service jobs and who take medication for erectile dysfunction.
    Or maybe for people who've realised that average speeds in traffic are around 10-20 kmph, so the car ad dream of the wide open road is a myth?

    Probably less space than you need to leave for cars, vans and truck on the pavement.

    I saw an ad, I think it was on More4, a woman in the bath, and her husband on the toilet, and some eejit talking to the two of them. I can't remember the product.

    RTE player have a new advert with Jennifer.

    Not even gonna type her full name, y'all know Jennifer. The Music in the background is 'Toxic by Britney Spears'.

    Yep, that's what you want associated with your name-Toxic... :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Great job, RTE... great job... wonder who got promoted for that sh*te.

    Heineken 0% ads

    The one with the actor learning her lines and the one where the girl in the gym walks into the men's changing room!

    Heineken 4.5% piss drink driving ad

    So in fairness its a smart ad, older F1 drivers go for a drink, one current F1 driver is asked are you not drinking and he replies "I'm Still Driving" But couldn't you have used this as your 0% ad?

    Could it be that awful version of an already awful and overplayed song???

    The new lidl ad is awful. The ending where it shows the old lady sticking her finger into the pot of jam or honey or whatever it is and then sucking on it makes me feel sick. As well as being horrible to watch it’s also unhygienic. Could she not use a spoon.

    It's Peter Stringer, Gordon Murphy and company-hardly nerds.

    If anything, they're faux-nerds. They're rugby legends, not nerds.
