    I dislike the ones that clog up bandwidth/processing on my laptop - hence why I have an adblocker installed.

    Well this thread gives me the chance to post the best advert of all time, slightly scared that it's from 1973 though. If you have 38 seconds, give it a watch.

    If you had asked me to guess the date that it was first on the TV, I would have said about 20 years ago.
    Where on earth does the time go?

    That's Travelodge-ical. I absolutely refuse to use them.

    Pantene annoyed me years ago and I still go out of my way to avoid their products.

    "you're sooo moneysupermarket, you don't even know what it means."

    Neither do I. Nobody does.

    My current hate is one for a car that does the amazing thing for you!!!!

    And what is this amazing thing? Parallel parking. Which means everyone else is amazing every day and I must be a genius.
    I don't like morning people. Or mornings. Or people.

    If think I have to agree with all of you...

    accept the Galaxy one with the Moon River theme tune. If you ever saw Breakfast at Tiffany's and a lump in your throat didn't appear at some point...

    I used to work in advertising many moons ago and as someone said they don't make 'em like they used to.
