Apparently, they do a SOFT BOILED scotch egg. You have to cook it exactly to instructions, and it's £7 for 4. But oh! I want one!

Not an advert but still big companies trying to raise their profile....

Yesterday on the radio at work the newsreader read an astounding piece of breaking news, Sainsbury's, Asda and Morrison's have announced they are knocking a penny off a litre of fuel...... I heard this repeated on the regular news bulletins throughout the morning as if it was somehow important and amazing!

Is it just me or does 1p off a litre costing around £1.30 (I think?) matter even less than what I have just eaten for tea? I mean, 1p! Please come back and tell me when it is 5p or 10p, 1p is mere noise compared to the daily and weekly price fluctuations and while it may be significant to the profit of a multi-billion pound oil industry it matters not one jot to the typical man in the street. It is simply another crass attempt to jump into the spotlight while actually doing or announcing nothing and the news agencies should treat the press releases for such things with the contempt they deserve....

Work colleague bought a new golf club on ebay. It arrived today wrapped and bound neatly in brown parcel tape... the delivery man looked at the bottom half of the parcel as it swayed in the breeze and said, 'This might be broken", as he handed it over.

There's one advert that drives me on the radio at the moment. Its about hearing problems and making a claim it drives me mad also any ppi adverts! I tend to turn the radio off when these come on. The only other thing that has the same effect on me as these adverts is steve s**te in the afternoon. Love the show! No! No we dont you numpty
