Oh God

Is sterilisation an option? Because those two should never ever be allowed to breed.

While we're hating on ads, can I put a vote in for the twunts from Paddy Power who think it's funny to show a footie match involving blind players who mistakenly kick a cat around instead of the ball.
You don't see a cat being kicked btw but the ad is condoning cruelty to cats and is really disrespectful to blind people.
Probably thought up by the same fools who came up with the 'Have a Happy Period' slogan

I haven't seen it - but I did see the news report that said the ASA refused to pull it. TBF, I doubt it would make anyone go out and kick a cat. Although Caoihme was pushing that possility ever closer.

I'm not saying it would make anyone kick a cat Kaff - there's too many shites who need no goading to do that.
I just think it's in really bad taste, both on account of the cat and the inference that blind people wouldn't know the difference between a cat with a bell on it's collar and a ball with a bell in it.
Apparently Paddy Power have a history of dodgy ads, or so I've been told..

Apparently some of the players are from the England blind football team. Does that make a difference?

Bloody BT are putting up their line rental by 50p a month and 10% on the cost of calls in October.

The sort of people who'd kick a cat don't need any encouragement Veggie, as you say. I just think it's just an example of the 'ring ofcom' mentality tbh. The 'actors' are all members of the England Blind Football Team who support the ad, so I think that more than takes care of the disability disrespect issue too.

Don't start me on them Katty - they have just charged me £25 for disconnecting my broadband as I had reached the end of my contract and they truly are shite.

I won't bore you but suffice to say I am going to Ofcom

My mobile is with virgin - has been for years. I now have a Blackberry Curve, unlimited internet, texts and 200 mins phone - £20 a month.

Interesting! I've been vodafone for years and wouldn't move because I was unsure of the coverage. They gave me a 'free' bog standard mobile a couple of months back (costs £8.50, but they take £13.50 OFF the other package??) and the coverage is fine. So.. when my time's up I'm going to ask Virgin for a better phone if I upgrade the tariff and move my number across. That's a cracking deal you're getting there.

Mine is too. I get 600 free texts for £15 quid a month (PAYG) and unlimited for £20.(I use texts more than calls) I've been thinking of ringing and asking because of customer loyalty can they do unlimited texts for £10 a month

I wouldn't saz - they will fleece you, They are just this side of being legal. Shop around if you don't like Virgin.

well, I've not done comparisons on providers or owt like that, I think it all varies area to area anyway

Just as a fyi BT are horribly expensive compared to their rivals and give the absolute worst service. They tried to blame their broadband service that was slower than 56k dial up from 15 years ago on the distance my friend was from the exchange when it was obvious they were sharing the bandwidth of all their users. Absolute charlatans. I've never known anyone ever who has been happy with BT broadband or any other BT service. Avoid at all costs is my advice.
