If I wanted to wear big brands on my clothes, I'd be making them pay me for advertising their stuff, not paying for the pleasure in doing so. Aye, I'm sure Hollister are beating down your door to pay you to wear their stuff as we speak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 9 hours ago, WILLIEA said: Very much this. I always get a slight rage when I see some numpty wearing sat Hollister. It screams " I am thick, I paid over the odds for a clothing garment and not only that I am giving free advertising to the corporation that ripped me off " What's the difference between a Hollister shop and a hedgehog? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 11 hours ago, The_Kincardine said: Not long after my most recent divorce I took a rather fetching Italian lassie out for dinner. A bloke at a nearby table took out his hanky as he was about to sneeze and the lassie said something like, "Why do English (sic) men carry these things? They sneeze on them then put them back in their pocket" Since then (about 8 years ago) I've ditched my hankies and carry a few tissues or kitchen roll in my pocket. So what do you do with the snottery tissue? Just drop it on the ground? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure with a bit of manipulation & basic origami skills one could fashion a rose out of the tissue or more fitting at this time of year a poppy?

throbber Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 John Lewis Christmas adverts. Or rather, every company who tries to copy the cultural expectation of what a John Lewis Christmas advert is. Aldi and their anthropomorphised carrot at the top of the shitlist for this this year. The last couple of years the adverts have at least made sense, this new one is just pish. Quite a lazy attempt almost as if it was just decided last minute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 When you trudge upstairs to get paracetamol, with your head bursting with every step, only to get distracted by something else, and end up back downstairs, still minus the paracetamol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife & daughter were cooing over this the other day and told me to come and watch it. I got right in the Christmas spirit by telling them it's not cute, it's pish and that I refuse to watch any Christmas bollocks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I haven't even seen this year's. The only one I can remember is last year's with the old granda sitting on the moon for no apparent Christmassy reason. I saw three in a row last night which prompted that post - Aldi, Marks & Spencer and Sainsbury's, all of them were practically identical. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its shit - its just a dog called Buster the boxer jumping on a trampoline with the slogan "Gifts that everyone will love". The entire thing just seems like a half arsed attempt thrown together at the last minute, i really can't imagine anyone out there watching it and getting all buzzing with excitement, just doesn't work for me at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmothecat Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I actually really like the Sainsburys one this year. It was written by Brett McKenzie of Flight of the Concords and I was fairly amused by it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
