I was a good sport and calmly tolerated their gobshite "maybe the is best year of all" claptrappery nonsense in 2020...

I am now being subjected to yet more spoken word poetry and pointed hand gestures while wittering on about "Guineas shilling and crowns" Hmm

Fuck off nationwide
I just want to watch temptation island in peace and sing a long to the just eat jingle

🎤 Ta-cos to the chateaux yes please!

YABU- it's just your piss that's boiling. Spoken word poetry is refreshing and stunningly brave.

YANBU - Nationwide and their irritating ads are single handedly making lockdown at least 5% worse than it needs to be

This made me Grin OP. Thankfully I haven't seen the Nationwide on as I hate spoken word poetry wankery.

Our sky box was broken for a month over Christmas and so we were streaming stuff meaning we couldn't fast forward all the adverts like normal. Garrrrrrgh! The Christmas Just Eat advert with the dog was showing every. Fucking. Ad. Break. to the extent it was kind of a relief when the 'proper' one with Snoop Dog came back for us to sing along to....Grin

On this vein, and inspired by another current AIBU about things you can't ask other people about in real life....am I the only one who Cannot. Stand. hearing Kae Tempest? I know they're (and having just looked them up I see they're now gender non-binary) very critically acclaimed and lauded but just sounds like droning droning wankery to me.

I was wrong - the water one is from Scottish water, not the government. It is still twee and patronising, though!

“Thank you Scotland for joining the movement.
Topping up from the tap is such an improvement.
You’re tapping into a positive force.
Helping protect a precious resource.
It’s your water, your life.
Top up from the tap with Scottish water.
Fresh, cool, clear.
And only available right here!”

Stop complaining! They're 'On your side'. Well that used to be their pious slogan.This thread reminded me of it and made me realise I haven't seen it recently. Can't say I'm sorry.
