The Nationwide advert is very annoying but as there isn't a branch within an hours drive of me it's not a firm I'd deal with anyway.
My wife, who is a Nationwide customer, raised an eyebrow when the advert claimed they arn't closing branches... as they closed our local branch last year.The Nationwide advert is very annoying but as there isn't a branch within an hours drive of me it's not a firm I'd deal with anyway.
If he's attempting to cart anything more than 40 tins of baked beans, there's every chance, if we say that 1 tin = 0.5kg and the standard hold luggage allowance is 23kg.Tins of baked beans are not light items, so looking at the number of them that the man is packing in his suitcase, could there be a danger in having it overweight.
In the advert shown, it is clear that there are other items that have also been packed in the suitcase besides the tins of baked beans.If he's attempting to cart anything more than 40 tins of baked beans, there's every chance, if we say that 1 tin = 0.5kg and the standard hold luggage allowance is 23kg.

Possibly, although I doubt, having just looked again at the footage, that there's much more than three dozen cans in the suitcase. Anyhoo, think we're possibly over-analyzing what's meant to be a semi-humorous advert.In the advert shown, it is clear that there are other items that have also been packed in the suitcase besides the tins of baked beans.
Even taking the three-dozen tins that you state, it will do nothing to better his obvious flatulence problem.Possibly, although I doubt, having just looked again at the footage, that there's much more than three dozen cans in the suitcase.

Harumph! You make a valid point!Even taking the three-dozen tins that you state, it will do nothing to better his obvious flatulence problem.
Shows how little I know about medical matters.....I thought they had whooping cough.....And the Whoop Whoop Celebrations ad is back. Joy to the world.
It just makes me pick up the TV remote to see if I’ve muted the sound.The silent ones for Trade Centre UK, a car supermarket type thing. Makes me look every time. Annoying but effective!
Aah good, that means that the Portsmouth Direct line is being converted to 25kV OLE.The trains, now on Uber ad, where they have a Greater Anglia train going to Portsmouth Harbour
That Lenor advert makes some rather strange claims and would be most annoying if a person entered a lift and the men and women in the lift as one leant forward towards the person. I don't know what must have then happened as when the man leaves the lift, the hair of all the other occupants' hair is stood on end. I make sure that I never stand near old women with a dog in a bus shelter, being warned of what might happen in the bus shelter according to another part of the same T V advert.The one showing a couple of adults seemingly doing an impression of the Domino's / Haribo ads over a certain box of chocolates...and, the Lenor one showing a shop assistant sniffing another mans socks...nothing like a bit of obscure fetishism to promote a product really.
What the ???? is that all about?!I make sure that I never stand near old women with a dog in a bus shelter, being warned of what might happen in the bus shelter according to another part of the same T V advert.
You must have missed the part of the advert where a man at a bus stop finds that an old woman with a dog leans over towards the man for no reason whatsoever and begins to sniff and her face then lights up and wind blows strongly at her., mussing her hair. The dog was not at all concerned.What the ???? is that all about?!
It's basically advertising deceit and covering up imperfection. You can create a photo of a basketball shot you can't physically do so you can lie to people. And you and your friends didn't look photogenic enough for a group shot so let's change things. Seems a bit disturbing to me, real life isn't presentable enough so it needs to be edited.I can't stand the new Google Pixel ad where they show the new feature to change people's heads.
Of course, there was the big one in "Little Shop of Horrors"............."Feed me, Seymour"I first thought it was an advert for a film on the book "The Fly Trap" ( image below is of said book ).

It learnt. This is the real machine uprising.The old saying was "the camera never lies"
If that was ever true it was long before anyone here was born. Photo manipulation in one form or another dates back to the 19th century.The old saying was "the camera never lies"
They probably don't want to have an ad break whilst the match is currently in progress, although, if they could actually arrange this I'm sure that they would.Not an advert per se, so I hope it's allowed. Sky Sports during football half time, a long ad break then less than 1 minute of the presenter then another ad break. What's the point? (I've no doubt it's money related with probable links to advert quotas).
But why return for less than a minute???They probably don't want to have an ad break whilst the match is currently in progress, although, if they could actually arrange this I'm sure that they would.
I remember many years ago when I was in Australia, watching a live televised golf tournament. A player had just hit a long putt and when the ball was halfway to the hole it cut to an ad break.They probably don't want to have an ad break whilst the match is currently in progress, although, if they could actually arrange this I'm sure that they would.
Quite possibly gets round some restriction as to just how long an individual advert break can be.But why return for less than a minute???
