Stupid little things that bug you

Can't stand that On the Beach advert and they horrible overweight family in it. The song sticks in your head horribly and that is what they are doing it for, using irritating tactics so you use them to book a holiday.

It's very British to use annoying gimmicks to flog something to the public and i am not falling for it. Whenever I go abroad and see adverts on TV, not one of them does this, I find them entertaining.

The Dean Martin or Ol' Blue Eyes song (one of the "Rat Pack" anyway) in the advert is originally a Christmas song, which makes it all the more annoying, especially the backing singers going "holidays!, holidays!".

When the advert ends and goes "On the Beach!", I always say "fuck off". Advert breaks are one of my biggest pet hates.

I only ever liked the Tango adverts and that Thinkbox one with the "F-R-I-E-N-D-S!, do you really need them?... Yes!" Song.

Can’t listen to commercial radio either. Some prick with an exaggerated local accent shouting at me every 10 minutes? No thanks.

It’s that Bolton fella who does the advert who starts off sounding like he’s swearing by saying ”Bucking blah blah”, therefore, implying he is swearing by saying the “F” word, then goes through the rest of the advert by pronouncing booking, as booooking, or book as booook. He and the advert are plain stupid.

If it's the one with that fat family who trash the all inclusive buffet then run onto the beach and destroy the peace and quiet of the other holiday makers......I wouldn't book with them on principle.
