GordonD Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Creating a website is one thing but putting up billboards all over the place costs a bob or two so it's not just some nutjob with too much time on his hands. BTW has anybody gone past the first page of that site? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonD Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Radio adverts, where they squeeze the small print and terms & conditions into the last few seconds by talkingreallyquicklyandrunningallthewordstogetherlikethis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Feet Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 The clearscore.com advert. The guy hits the spacebar when allegedly typing in the web address. Annoying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 The other day I saw the first Legal Names advert in Birmingham. I still don't understand what they're on about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonD Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 How about adverts for things like 30 Classic Death Metal Anthems that claim they're "the perfect gift for Father's Day". They've clearly never met my dad, who wouldn't be impressed one little bit if I presented him with that. I made up the Death Anthems thing but just about everything man-related advertised on the box at the moment seems to be making the same claim. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Top Cat has been joined by Fred Flintstone in flogging Halifax. Appalling. Elsewhere, this AA advert where a nudist has lost his car keys. How can you lose your car keys when you're out driving? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLip69 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Talking Radio adverts I remember sometime back every time we switched on Radio Clyde, 20-30 years ago it was the same advert constantly. So much so that Radio Clyde was quickly renamed Radio Cuticura in our house. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) Talking Radio adverts I remember sometime back every time we switched on Radio Clyde, 20-30 years ago it was the same advert constantly. So much so that Radio Clyde was quickly renamed Radio Cuticura in our house. "A-B-D-I-N-E, Abdine is the one for me". I can still remember the tune and everything. Still, to this day, don't know what Abdine is or was. ETA Google would suggest that it's a cold remedy.

ETA Google would suggest that it's a cold remedy. I'm not sure what it is either but I remember when I was young and trying to open a bottle or a jar or something, my dad would tell me "You've got about as much strength as an Abdine in a pail of water!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"A-B-D-I-N-E, Abdine is the drink for me, first the blue then the while makes me feel alright" ​It was an indigestion relief, similar to Andrews. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
