The Natwest ones weren't too bad to start but they've become terribly patronising. And is if business managers have time to go out and visit companies and make cakes. They're far too busy sitting with their fingers up their arses losing money!

'Buttocks' Indian sauces got me worried.

Turned out to be Patak's.

Racist cnut.

By the way, I never realised that Sharwoods actually does Indian as well... I thought it was just Chinese and stir fry?!

Crikey - that's a surprise response. It was a simple mis-hearing of the name pronounced in a way I'd never heard before, and certainly doesn't have any other implication.

Just noticed that the title of this thread should surely be "that" instead of "which".

Anyway, I quite like the new HTC advert. It's a pretty hard sell but it's not patronising or pretentious like so many other mobile phone adverts.

Do you know, you're right. And that is my fault. I would fix it, but I do not have the power. Apparently.

Perhaps if we get on our knees (steady on!) and face Wiltshire, Nick Harvey will send one of his mods down to fix it

Viewers who don't watch UTV or C4 in Northern Ireland won't have seen it, but the Axa Insurance advert with the out-of-breath female jogger would have me reaching for a hammer to chuck at the telly.
