I have a real problem with blokes – who are patently around my age – who now work in advertising and dare to use the best music of my youth to advertise completely inappropriate corporate crap.
<br>"Another Girl, Another Planet" is about heroin addiction for crissakes.
I nearly signed up to First Direct once but then they used "Atmosphere" for an advert – what the ****
is that about.They’ve plainly had whatever soul they had sucked out of them over the last twenty-five year in their over-eager embrace of the burning sky of capitalism, and their predilection for cocaine over growing old gracefully.
They plainly remain oblivious to the hideousness of their profession and of the "bald spot in the middle of their hair" embarrassment at thinking they are somehow being cool by murdering the music that for a brief moment gave them at least a glimpse of better life.
I have no doubt these people wear the shiny suits and pony-tails Kotkijet so abhores.
I say hunt them down and kill them with extreme prejudice.
Love to all.
Theres a lot of Polish working in advertising now toots?;)
And if you choose to not Bank or insure with a company because of a song…………..
You are truly great.
Love you too XXX
Interesting article on the evolution of effing at:
Thats cheered me up!
Thanks mate.
My new love is;
Gale force winds battering the roofs of our land.
The phone’s on fire.
Toots, where do you get your cheap Polish labour from mate, I might need some help?
What are they? ? ?
A few of mine –
When people use the kettle and dont refill it with water afterwards.
When people drive 20 in a 30 and drive 30 in a 40mph area.
On the cup of tea theme…..
People who don’t put the milk back in the fridge, turning it sour in hours
Some others include, ignorance, people leaving doors open and nosey gits
Mike
Drivers who don’t indicate when exiting from a roundabout (especially mini-roundabouts).
Don’t get me started on bad drivers Grrrr. Hate slow drivers and lane hoggers on Motorways
Loads of driving ones, most already mentioned, but can I add morons who use mobile phones when driving – it’s not clever and it is bl**dy dangerous!!!
Actually, thinking about it, I could add mobile phones per se to my list of gripes as well. I managed to survive pretty well without one for over 40 years.
What else? well, "reality" television, don’t start me off on that one.
Racing wise I have two big ones –
the brainless half wits (I was going to say some other type of wit) who cheer when a horse falls or who will a horse to fall
Racecourse managers who are so far up their own backsides and are so arrogant that they treat the paying public with utter contempt. (Fortunately there are fewer of these dinosaurs around – but they still exist)
I’m on a roll now – when are they auditioning for the next series of "Grumpy Old Men"?
having to work with non English speaking Polish so called builders, who dont know what there doing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Calm down, calm down, lollys mate………………..
Just do what your shrink told you to do…………….
And relax.
AHHHHHHH.
OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! AND CALLING THE ORANGE CALL CENTER TO TELL THEM THAT THEIR BROADBAND DONT WORK AND I HAVE TO WAIT A MONTH TO CHANGE SERVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
KIN INDIAN CALL CENTERS!
But they are allways so polite.
Bless them.
