i suppose.

however the go-compare man has me reaching for my shotgun every time
Parky's are particularly annoying because years ago, when he was a proper journalist, he might have lambasted the same ads as preying on the vulnerable.
No, the one about saving donkeys is worse.
yes they are annoying!mbut some others are much worse, the go compare one is so much worse.......hate it!......

An insurance salesman (trying the hard sell) was horrified that I had no life insurance whatsoever. I'm 63, single, own my house and have no debts, there is enough money in the bank to pay for my funeral...................why would I need life insurance?
exactly, craft... and I don't want a sodding Parker pen, anyway :-)
At least you get a free pen, what an insult!!!!!!!!
It's not even a 'proper' pen. It's a biro.
Thank goodness for the remote, the duration of an advert break is more than sufficient for a quick flick through all the channels to see what else is on.
Agree with welshlibranr, go compare is the most annoying advert on tv, mute button is always at the ready.

On the other hand, imho the ugly duckling/Audi ad is the best for years, love it.
They don't bother me, i ignore most ads.
Agree with excelcior too, sorry I missed you off first time!
good morning jd

no apologies necessary

have a good day today
There are 3 ads I detest. One is Go Compare, the Harveys ad with the 2 stupid girls before Corrie and on the radio its the Autoglass ad!
The only decent financial advisor we have ever spoken to (it was "in principle" advice, not sales,) the first thing he said was why have you both got life insurance? You have no family and no mortgage and the survivor wont need income. If you want to make sure your funeral is covered, a funeral prepay is a better bet.
Well i am still happy with the television that only cost me one months premium, i dont feel ripped off at all, go on everyone get yourself a, almost, free gift
I have always distusted Parkinson's slide from genuinely talented sports journalist into sychophantic chat-show host, followed by genial 'you can trust me, I tell it straight ...' professional Yorkshireman-stylee he has adopted for his retirement.

Anyone who loves Jamie Cullum that much is not to be trusted!
Annoying and hypocritical as well.
Jamie Cullum = crap imo. remember that absolutely rubbish version of ' Love Affairs ' classic Everlasting Love, he totally destroyed it imo.
