	Irritating ... BBC, so called previews of the NEWS, for instance. why? the subtitles cant keep up..and the clips take up REAL News time..."coming up"... our "Top story" "our reporter is at???? " shows reporter outside somewhere usually in the rain, and who doesn't really tell you anything before the clip shifts to something else!!!

	I like the hearing aid ones with the detective (steak house, cat burger etc). Trouble is they are only funny the first time.

	The sofology one makes me cringe, too. Also the one for confused.com with the idiot driving across America in a car that is falling to pieces! BUT - if we remember them, for whatever reason, hasn't the advertiser achieved his object?

	That creepy advert where blue men jump out of posters and follow people about.

	Should have gone to Spec savers. How much of the cost of the advertisements is built into the cost of the product ? 100%

	That B**y Boots opticians one with that silly * saying she should wear glasses but she doesn't think they suit her. My glasses don't suit me completely but at least I can see straight and they help me preserve my eyesight :-\| :-\| :-\|. Rant Over :-)

	Dear Elizabeth Hello The advert I like the most is the one with the little penguin, reaching for his mobile phone to get the boiler fixed! He then crosses this off his list on the fridge door and next he wants to take flying lessons and call his mum. Take gentle care Best wishes EOS xx
