to want the bloomin' Christmas adverts to foof off?

[CrocodileScream]

Even aside from whether it is too early for Christmas ads, I wish that Tesco, JL et al. would stop ramming synthetic ideas of Christmas down our throats? Yes Debenhams that's you and your romantic ice skating. And you John Lewis with your foofing Bear and Hare. Our worse still is the Tesco home video ad.

Advertise your products yes but keep the rest of the tosh please. It makes me want to vomit into my wine tea.

I hear you. I got an e-mail from Boots last week, telling me that they were going to let me 'exclusively' view their Christmas advert. The e-mail said, "it's a bit hush hush". I nearly choked. Since when was a cr@p advert a viewing event, a preview of which is considered a privilege?

I'd sooner stick pins in my eyes than watch those heinous, patronising 'here come the girls' adverts, so I hope that Boots' Christmas effort remains so "hush hush" that I never see it.

Oh god Boots I forgot about them. I can't imagine it being anything other than dire.

I have to agree. My mother's next door neighbour had her fucking tree up on 1st Nov FFS. I'd happily wang a brick through her window, sad fucker.

Also, heard a guy on his phone in ASDA tonight, asking...how much wine do we need? Jeez, if I bought in Christmas supply today, it might just last till the weekend!

Skip the ad

I yearn for a simpler world where shops do adverts that say things like 'we've got wine and food - buy some' and 'we've got bland scarf and glove sets for those not-so-special people in your life'.

I love the John Lewis advert and have been known to rewind it to watch again.
Also, the coca cola truck is a sign Christmas is on its way. Admittedly it's difficult to watch whilst tears gather in my eyes.
I love the whole sentiment even though we all know Christmas never really works out the way of the adverts.
