Gaz Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The PlusNet advert: "When you think of Yorkshire, what do you think of? That's right - Super-fast broadband, Yorkshire Puddings, and Heaven 17". Later in the advert: "Yes, we are in Yorkshire. No, Heaven 17 don't work here". I don't know a single person who knows / knew Heaven 17 were from Yorkshire until this advert, yet they're basing the whole advert on the premise that whenever you think of Yorkshire you think of Heaven 17. What a rubbish advert. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) Actually, you've just proved it's an advert that works. Not really, given that I have no intention of buying their product - if I was looking for broadband, I'd be put off this company by how much the advert annoys me! Plus, it's not like I have it in my head - it was on the telly about twenty seconds before I posted this...

the jambo-rocker Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I feel terrible, both mentally and physcially. I've got work to do and have to play 5's tonight. However, because I'm feeling so sorry for myself I'd going to make the greasiest and largest fry up I can, then have a good sleep. One day I'm actually going to have a proper word with myself and stop being a disgrace, but that day is not today. The issues might not be exactly the same, but I can certainly relate to that. Especially your comment at the end, I feel your pain... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's, at least subconsciously, reached out to a vast audience with your post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudge Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 There is a growing trend on p&b for people to write longer sentences riddled with commas. It's obvious they are doing so to make themselves sound clever or more eloquent and it annoys me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 There is a growing trend on p&b for people to write longer sentences riddled with commas. It's obvious they are doing so to make themselves sound clever or more eloquent and it annoys me. I don't know about that: surely the comma is a somewhat standard means of sentence subdivision? Excessive use in elongated sentences is undoubtedly irritating; it's not the crime of the century though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Nothing better than standing in a freezing cold terrace, the wind blowing the rain into your face and a bovril. Wait till you try sex, it's even better than rain and bovril. The PlusNet advert: I don't know a single person who knows / knew Heaven 17 were from Yorkshire until this advert, yet they're basing the whole advert on the premise that whenever you think of Yorkshire you think of Heaven 17. I did! Them, The Human League and ABC were all from Sheffield. The Human League and Heaven 17 were one band but split to form the two. Ask me another. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bibby Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 We've entered a team into a local seven-a-side league. Our first game is on Sunday and our nice new shiny strips arrived this morning: As long as we don't play against a team of Afghans or Chechen rebels we should get away with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
