LOVE: I love the Vigin Airways advert that goes back to 1984 when they were launched. The whole 80's thing going on with the Wimpey bar the space invaders machine and Our Price record shop (crikes remember them all too well) and the Frankie Goes To Hollywood track playing....(I must dig out my Frankie says RELAX teeshirt)...
CAN'T ABIDE: The T Mobile ad, where them posh bunch of wossits are about to play their musical instruments and the girl picks her mobile phone up and says to whoever at the other end... "Listen to this"......they play their stuff, then she says down her phone "How did it sound"...
It's at that stage I wish someone would shout out "*rap*

Can't stand the insurance adverts done by Michael Winnerwith a woman leaping about in the background like a demented chicken. I think they are for E-Sure and I can't imagine ANYONE buying from them based on what they see on the ad.
