to want to sabotage the future of Adam and Jane in the BT ads?

Off I went to the stupid 'what do you want to happen next?' website to put in my request for an acrimonious break up, and you only get two options: she's pregnant or she isn't pregnant. They are really irritating. Voted 'not pregnant' as then BT will have to think of some other way to get them up the aisle. I liked the creativity in some of the comments though: alien abduction got a mention. Many people seem to relish the idea of them having a bitter argument over who gets the BT Home Hub in the event of a split.

Thought I was the only one
cant believe its been running for so long, (though Kris is a bit dishy and did really well after his accident in Bristol )

Wanted to put they need to Talk Talk
Orange you aware she's no Virgin
T mobile? O2 you as well!

No option to say she's pregnant, but with an alien baby? Perhaps she'll give birth to the next version of the HomeHub.

Habbibu · 13/08/2010 00:08

The people saying they love it have just got to be BT plants.

TheCrackFox · 13/08/2010 00:15

Why wasn't there an option for "she has chronic diarrhoea"? When I think of BT I think of shit so it would tie in perfectly.

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 13/08/2010 00:48

They are both vacuous and I would like a giant worm to emerge from the earth (they can hang a BT collar on it if they want) and devour them in one gulp.

Dione · 13/08/2010 00:50

Can she not be pregnant by a drunken one night stand she had with her Ex, when they met to talk about the daughter's education while Kriss was away?

Emo76 · 13/08/2010 11:34

You are not being unreasonable at all. The "Jane" charachter comes across as being wet and needy, and the bloke isn't much better IMO! Sabotage away.

StealthPolarBear · 13/08/2010 11:37

I think she has midge bites on her tummy
I sympathise

cupcakesandbunting · 13/08/2010 11:40

YANBU.

DH and I sat cackling the other night, conjuring up unlikely but brilliant scenarios for the most irritating telly couple probably ever.

I liked my "the baby comes out black" and it turns out that Jane has been having an affair with a nice, big black man whilst Adam has been working away/out with the lads etc.

lisad123isgoingcrazy · 13/08/2010 11:44

see Im still waitingf for next plot on BOld ads, Im very sad you know!!

AbsOfCroissant · 13/08/2010 11:44

MAN I hate those two. So annoying.

I like some of the suggestions here.

lisad123isgoingcrazy · 13/08/2010 11:45

see I think that Jane should suddenly pop up in that video the lads are trying to watch (the one when friend has terrible download speed)! They then have a bitter fight over the fact she is infact a porn star Grin

emptyshell · 13/08/2010 11:45

I'm getting really sick of these since they went down the inevitable mushy ending thing.

The vote's a gimmick anyway since they're obviously gearing up for the baby ending.

AbsOfCroissant · 13/08/2010 11:48

here you go some other suggestions for what happens ...

sanielle · 13/08/2010 11:49

I actually really these ads. ( I am not a plant) Blush

MorningTownRide · 13/08/2010 11:50

I think that with every ad she is looking younger.

SHE is the alien and gets herself impregnated by hapless humans so she can suck the life force from them.

Miggsie · 13/08/2010 11:53

I've just got a TV that has "switch off screen picture" option.
IF I use this option and also hit "mute" then it solves all the problems with adverts...

DuelingFanjo · 13/08/2010 11:56

if everyone voted not pregnant maybe they could do a whole load of adverts where she's obsessively checking EWCM, timing sex and being told to relax by idiots well meaning friends and family Grin

DuelingFanjo · 13/08/2010 11:56

I mean Idiots

sanielle · 13/08/2010 11:58

Can we Adam to inspect her underwear for implantatino bleeding too then DF?

TheLifeOfRiley · 13/08/2010 12:04

they are the most unconvincing couple ever IMO

I didn't realise people could vote for their future!

cupcakesandbunting · 13/08/2010 12:08

Well, you can vote one of two things, which is a bit shite IMO.

I always get the feeling that he is going to have an affair with someone less dull and that she is always ever-so-slightly- disapproving of his seeming reluctance to commit. They should just cut their losses and Jane should swan off back to her ex-husband who is better looking.

Not that I am shallow, ooooh nooooo....

emptyshell · 13/08/2010 12:11

Bring back the Gold Blend couple is all I say!

Mingg · 13/08/2010 12:13

I actually quite like the ads

cupcakesandbunting · 13/08/2010 12:14

And the OXO mum and dad.

I so wanted to be one of the OXO children when I was growing up.
