Re: Adverts that irritate and entertain

There's an interesting Postcode Lottery campaign on at the moment which is in partnership with ITV, C4 and Sky and starring not only famous faces from those channels but in some instances using the official graphics (Sky Sports News) and sets (Rachel Riley on Countdown). Their YouTube channel only f...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

I feel like the non-news side of the forum is really quiet these days. Major new Saturday night primetime show on BBC One with unusual presentation into the start of it - no posts apart from mine.

Re: Lovely Lightbulbs

I love these Philips bulbs which look exactly like traditional incandescents - the whole bulb lights up rather than just the top half - but are energy saving LEDs. They are, to use an old Metropol word, fab. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B08K2ZT6NX?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title Despite t...
