we used to have a NDN who constantly kicked a ball against the wall. That constant Doomph, doomph , doomph resonating through the wall was enough to make me want to kill him
That Alexa advert ... Iām glad I donāt live next door to someone who lets their daughter practice football goal shooting in the garden at 4 in the morning, and what is more, turns the outside light on so that she can see better to do it!!!Ā

That was my immediate thought when I saw the advert.Ā Initially I thought maybe it was a big detached house, but on watching again you can see all the neighbouring properties.Ā I would be extremely unhappy with somebody kicking a ball against the wall at 4 in the morning, and even more unhappy at some prat then switching the lights on.

I thought it was just me. What about the Barclays advert where the woman turns up to her terraced house, slams the doors and drawers to show she's not living with mum and dad any more, then turns up the hifi to the highest setting with a massive bank of speakers on the wall.Ā
Both ad's made for the snowflake/entitled generation who can do what they want when they want, but nobody must do anything they don't like.

What should simply have been a RTBC on BBC Breakfast this morning ended up with me swearing at the telly.Ā A report of a young woman given weeks to live 10 years ago who had a stem cell transplant and is now fit and well. She was meetingĀ for the first time the man who made the donation and also introducing her husband and child to him.Ā At least that's what it should have been about.Ā In reality it was more like an advert for the presenter of the piece, showing her running up stairs, clipping the mic onto the stem cell donor etc, etc.Ā She was totally superfluous to the item but ended up being the centre of attention for at least half the report.
Not just me then! First time l saw it l couldn't believe it. Apart from the neighbours, what about the daughter's lack of sleep ? I can just imagine the conversations around the country. "It's not fair, the mum in the Alexa advert would let me". I tend to fast forward through the adverts and that one reminded me why l do that !
When you consider the millions they pay to advertising companies, it's quite gratifying to see that they sometimes get it horribly wrong. Take for example, Saturday nights. Everybody with money to spend is out having an amazing time. Let's put on crap programmes and adverts for funerrrrals. WRONG. Loads of people with loadsamoney couldn't get a babysitter or had the sniffles or whatever. They're surfing through the channels and find something worth watching. They get hooked, and in the break spot your obscenely expensive advert for an insanely expensive car.
But on the other hand, an advert for a ridiculously expensive car (Merc) reminded me of the wonderful soul voice of Johnnie Taylor who used to record on the Stax label waaaay back when Otis Redding was aliveĀ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aLxVKI8PGHk
Im ashamed to say Iād forgotten about him until that advert came on the telly.Ā
