Heard a radio advert today on Star Bristol for a local digital TV installer, where it lists a long list of channels you could recieve should you get Sky...including "Sky Four".

I HATE THE HARVEY NORMAN ADVERTS BECAUSE OF THE FUCKING AWFUL SHOUTING VOICEOVERS.

I also think they have a very odd combination of products. Beds, sofas, dining tables and PCs.

In Australia they sell that as well as plasma televisions and outdoor settings. It's bizarre.

Sput, I like it.

Don't know if it's been previously mentioned, but that awful "if you give away contents insurance, I'll wear this wig" is really grinding my gears at the moment.

Lovely, makes even "I'm a PC" seem classy. Too bad my nan did not get to eat in style, now she's dead.

No, they're actresses in this one. The uniforms aren't real either. They made a bespoke, sexed up combination of the 3 uniforms that Virgin Atlantic have had over the years. You can see them all here: http://www.uniformfreak.com/1virginatlantic.html
