WILLIEA Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I'd like to see a blanket ban on this kind of advertising. I don't think it needs to be encouraged and, above all, the adverts are all shit. Agreed. I'm amazed there is so much of it. Fortunately for me it is the one vice I have never succumbed to, but I can see a whole lot of folk getting in deep sh*t with this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 We tend to have Nick Jr on most of the time so thankfully we don't see them during the day, though we get bombarded with PPI reclaim ads. Why kids want them on is a mystery to me. I'd ban them as well. That's by the by though. In the evenings, it's just constant. Betfair, Betfred, Paddy Power. All irritating as hell and offering you the chance to lose a load of money safe in the knowledge you'll be getting very little of their back. Arseholes. Was it Thatcher who brought in the National Lottery? Anyway, whoever it was, I blame her. Once the Government started that they lost any moral authority to condemn or restrict gambling. Tossers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of shops has increased massively in recent years as well (especially in 'poorer' areas). I know they probably do much more trade online now, but the shops still do a good trade from older punters. Knightswood 'shopping centre' has about 15 small shopping units and 3 of them are now bookies, up from 1 a couple of years ago.

Ladbrokes have so many branches around here all within a couple of minutes walking distance from each other. Oh, and all placed in very close proximity to pubs, naturally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I'm sick of being shouted at by Ray Winstone, that shouty Italian bloke and Chris Kamara during every ad break, so I'll be another one happy to see the end of gambling advertising. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidernation Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Sounds just like me although I had to lie and tell her I needed to resit maths and get a higher grade to qualify for the 5 year masters course. Thankfully I got it so no questions asked but obviously I had to put 'some' work into that. I do feel guilty now though. Teachers of every other class must have hated me, especially in computing which was my only proper access to the internet at the time. f**k I feel old! My CSYS computing was done on a Commodore Pet, with the programming either in BASIC or machine code! Don't think there was an internet (or even an arpanet?) back then! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You met a lassie, moved out their with her, couldn't be arsed with her after less than a month and your coming home? Is she aware or are you just doing an overnight flit? Pretty much yeah. Yeah she knows im going back. Poland is great for a few days at a time but try living here. Its a struggle to go shopping because I don't know what half the shit is and I miss fresh milk doing tourist stuff here is easy but day to day living is brutal and not many people over 30speak English so even buying fags is hard. Feel free to take the piss but not many people would try living here. I gave it a go and it never worked out -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
