    Question Smoking....do you or Don't you

    I was having a chat with a friend today about a further dramatic step in a decade-long campaign to curb the consumption of tobacco products by graphically depicting images on cigarette boxes. The pictures will include rotting teeth and lungs and throat cancer. The pictures will replace the...

    Was it you?

    Apparently there was a series of adverts on Sky which highlighted a midweek Cup match between Port Vale and Southend. Only 1 solitary Southend fan turned up! http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A41246011 Was it you?

    London Zoo

    I spent the weekend around Little Venice and thought it might be an idea to take the kids to London Zoo. I can honestly say I have never seen such a lazy bunch of animals in my life (apart from some of the monkeys and the otters) and the penguin enclosure looked like a low budget Wickes water...

    I challenge Churchill to a duel.

    Between 1998 and 2001, I was lucky enough to live in the beautiful Canadian province of British Columbia. BC is traditionally a stronghold for the political left in Canada, and this is evidenced in higher provincial taxation than neighbouring Alberta, balanced by better state healthcare and a...

    Question What is the most annoying advert ever?

    I was quite happily sitting on my bed watching Soccer Aid then the adverts came on I normally stick my head down to my laptop when the adverts come on. But this time this Renault advert gets on my nerves the more and more I watch it. The Dubbing is shocking its like a japenese film but worse...

    Brand disloyalty

    Passing through Heathrow the other day, I saw a lot of adverts for that airline XL. First thought was - "That's the mob who sponsor those tossers West Ham" That then got me thinking - would I avoid putting business their way because of that? I'd certainly not be inclined to go to their website...

    It's good to talk

    I noticed tonight on Irish tv, there were at least 3 instances of adverts encouraging people to talk more if they have problems that are affecting their daily lives. Always hearing people harping on about their physical health, and how they need to do more running or gym work is all well and...
  8. The Ting Tings

    Have the potential to go down as, quite possibly, the single most annoying group of the 21st century. Watching the TV today and they've plagued the adverts trying to sell their new album, and i'm already plotting a massacre. I couldn't give a f*ck what, or what not your name is, Just stop...
  9. Pubey's "Tunes from the leftfield" - 3

    Following on from Mogwai last week... I'm sticking to a Scottish theme with my next selection. Arguably not their best song, off probably their worst album... this is still an absolute blinder, and alongside one of the most visually stunning pieces of film i've ever watched... makes for one of...

  11. Formula One to return to BBC TV

    The BBC has secured the television rights to show Formula One in the UK from the 2009 season. The five-year deal marks the return of the sport to BBC screens 12 years after ITV began broadcasting Grands Prix. Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone said: "I am delighted to conclude this new...

    Gallas Is A Girl

    Arsenal’s season has been thrown into jeopardy by the loss of Eduardo to a horrific injury, but that may be only the start of their problems. The loss of William Gallas to a disturbing and hysterical breakdown may be even more costly. Eduardo, as good as he was, was just a player. Gallas is...

    Music from TV shows

    There's a song that I like and it's at the end of a TV show I used to watch with my flatmates at uni and was also in an episode of Top Gear tonight on Dave, when they are racing the cars along one of my fav places in the UK, Pendine Sands, but got no idea what the song is called or who it's by...

    Adverts in sig's

    Just a small debate is what I'm looking for really, gauging peoples views on whether or not posters on here should be allowed to advertise there business in there signature. I see reasons for both for and against this, as I state below: For: It's a public forum, why do we have to patrol what...

    Implausable film endings.

    I was walking to work today when I noticed that every other bus seems to adverts for Saw 4 on them in London. I am not sure how familiar you are with Saw as a series of films but the basic plot is some twisted old boy kidnaps people who are knobs in real life and makes them do a task to spare...

    What is your favourite advert??

    Was sitting quietly watching a bit of telly and this fantastic advert came on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol_2z3AcSbA And made me think of what is your all time favourite add. I liked the old PSP dust ball adverts they cracked me up.

    ITV Carling Cup

    I can't have been the only one who tune to ITV to catch the highlights of this weeks Carling Cup action, I also can't be the only one who is p155ed of with the ****e that was on offer. It was an utter **** take, not that this matters much to me but the opening thingy was just The Championship...

    Free online music

    'ere, you young and trendy types? Where can I listen to music online for free? My usual favourite www.pandora.com is playing silly buggers* and XFM Online is playing too many damn adverts. I can't get my online music library to work** and I'm lost, floundering in the silence. Any ideas? * -...
