Tonight watching TV and the advert for ''Go Compare comes on and it's the guy who sings talking about himself telling us he is the 'Go Compare' man.

Me - 'We know who you are. It's getting boring now, and you'll never be as good as 'The Meerkats'

Any takers ??

Yep, have to agree OP. Those little meerkat rascals win hands down.

I think they're as bad as each other but marginally favour the meerkats, both of these ads have been around for years

i have to admit, I had no idea he was a false person. I kind of kicked myself when I found out, but like a lot of adverts it all goes on for too long.

I am sick of the Vax platinum ad. When you have to clean 'deep down', I lose the will to live, especially when the carpets are always white ..I mean who has white carpetsand children ?? And the bloody woman who has just had a baby and nobody told her about incontinence...........

Listen love, there are a lot of things nobody tells you about because if they did you would never get pregnant :)

But when Sean Bean has the rant for Yorkshire tea I have to SMILE.. what else can you do LOL

Another one that gets my goat. Adverts for online gambling - and then the sermon about gambling responsibly. When the fun stops - stop.
Fecking stop advertising during lockdown when vulnerable people are at home mate

Geo Compario. I knew he was not real but I had no idea he was an opera singer in reality

The guy who cleans his kitchen and gets nowhere and then starts on about 'Flash'

So why didn't he just use bloody 'Flash ' in the first place.

But is he Barry Scott though?

Also: calm down dear!

Next you'll be telling me they don't drink Um Bongo in the Congo, the red car and the blue car never raced and that maybe she's not born with it after all...
