The BT broadband advert...

Raahh · 01/10/2008 16:50

you know, the one where bloke has got his dream job and they are miles apart and his broadband goes off and girlfriend is left pacing in the garden wondering if she has been dumped?

Why don't they just PHONE each other? Or am i missing something?

And why do i care?

they're so smug aren't they and miserable. she's too old for him anyhow

Raahh · 01/10/2008 16:56

i particularly hated the one where she deletes the files of baby pics, and he says they can make another, and she thinks he means a baby...

and yes, much too old for him...

I hate the way he says "are you still mad at me?", or something.

It's ANGRY, not mad. You're not American.

ew does he go and quiet and squirmy when she's on telly?

TheCrackFox · 01/10/2008 17:49

My DH fancies her too.

Raahh · 01/10/2008 17:51

he just grins knowingly... and comments on her glossy hair.

he does it to wind me up.

Really his ideal woman is Miss Hooley off Balamory. It's the green cardy that does it...

He just comes out with the old classic 'she's just got something about her'....

I actually quite like the man in it too!

PotPourri · 08/11/2008 23:41

What is the latest on this story? I am totally lost with him sitting talking to his mate about weird channels. Has he moved out or what?

wintera · 09/11/2008 14:23

I saw the new ad the other night and she has had her hair cut. It looked very nice. Quite short.

BT COUPLE - VIEWERS BEG: 'MAKE IT STOP'

MILLIONS of viewers have contacted British Telecom urging them to end the pathetic relationship at the heart of their long-running series of TV adverts.

The latest instalment shows the ginger streak of p1ss sitting on a terrace, apparently in Cornwall, emailing his mind-crushingly tedious live-in lover.

He has moved because of his job, though some have speculated it is because she hasn't smiled for nearly three years. The relationship now stands at a crossroads, with viewers across the country willing them to go their separate, tiresome ways.

Since 2005 millions have joined the couple on a slow, flat rollercoaster of emotions, that began with him moving in and having the first of many stilted conversations with whoever happens to be in the room.

The drama reached unbearable levels of dullness when she erased all the photos of her monosyllabic children, leading many viewers to assume she was some kind of moron.

But there were also pathetic attempts at light relief, including the teenage son getting into trouble for inviting his friends round to watch a certificate PG film while drinking lemonade.

The only potential excitement came when the ginger streak flirted with a gorgeous girl who was clearly up for all kinds of filth, before deciding, inexplicably, to remain faithful to whatserface.

Meanwhile a recent instalment included a desperate ploy to make him seem more interesting by showing him reading the paper and playing a bit of golf.

TV viewer Emily Francis, from Bath, told BT: "For the love of God, make it stop."

purplemonkeydishwasher · 09/11/2008 14:31

they really wanted to be that coffee ad but sadly missed the mark...by A LOT.

KatieScarlett2833 · 09/11/2008 14:35

The children are quite spooky in an Addams Family sort of way. I hope the next one is of ginger streak coming home unexpectedly to find po face and the children of the corn in the middle of a voodoo ceremony.

UnquietDad · 09/11/2008 14:35

Plus she is nowhere near as fit as Sharon "Gold Blend" Maughan. Phwwoargh.

Flamesparrow · 09/11/2008 14:36

pmsl!!!

DaDaDa · 09/11/2008 14:39

She's only 3 years older than him in RL fact fans. In RL she is also 'kooky' and not so Mumsy (probably as a result of her not actually being a Mum).

On weird male crushes, how would you feel if your DP had a thing for ...

UnquietDad · 09/11/2008 14:41

I can see that link is C4 but it won't load!

Who can it be??
Carol Vorderman?
Kirstie Allsopp?
Sarah Beeny?

DaDaDa · 09/11/2008 14:43

Olivia Colman. Phwoar!

KatieScarlett2833 · 09/11/2008 14:44

Mine fancies Dame Kiri, seriously.

UnquietDad · 09/11/2008 14:44

Colman isn't bad.
I think we need a new totty thread over in dadsnet...

wintera · 09/11/2008 21:10

Dadada is quite right, she isn't too old for him. Just checked imdb (cos thats the kind of saddo I am!) and she was born in 1970 and he was born in 1973.

As for bt ads, you can't beat the classics!-
