Patronising, sombre Ad about some banks closing by - famous for being famous - Baz Ashmawy (?). One of several Ads featuring him about the same subject and God help Ireland if businesses need advice from this source before they decide to move their bank accounts. :roll:

Another teeth grater, and one of a new genre produced by idiots who seem to think that bleeping out words is edgy, is the Government Ad for talking about the Menopause.

People on trolleys, wards closed for lack of staff, HSE €1K bonus still not paid to 86,000 frontline staff but the cretins can still find money for Irish language Covid radio Ads. You really couldn't make it up but let's all laugh at the Brits. :roll:

Jude is back for "Elephant Self Storage" or is it "Elephant Storage" - poor girl seems uncertain! I suspect that she must be related to Rory as she also says naught, naught - naught, naught. And, no, you can't sleep here! :mrgreen:

There's a particularly nauseating one on these days promoting the joys of holidaying in Dubai where a couple recall their recent holiday there. They did everything except ride each other but at least the man had his way with a camel - bestiality on Newstalk. :mrgreen:

The current Ad from the government advising people to move their social welfare payments to a new bank if their existing bank is one of those closing down. The dim witted ass featured in the Ad reminded me of the Gumbys but not half as funny. :mrgreen:

As an aside, what on earth is the name of the camel fancier - cannot understand what the woman calls him at the start of the Ad?

I'd only just moved to Ireland at the time and the amount of farmer related rural ads on the radio was surprising.
Was it an ointment called something like 'Cheno unction'? "A quare name but great shtuff" I think the man said about it if I'm thinking about the same ad.

It's scandalous the HSE are still saturating every media outlet and platform with this covid shite that every dog on the street is aware of at this stage. Millions being spent and wasted that could be for instance put to better use such as spent on kids awaiting scoliosis surgery. Just goes to show the alternative reality these muppets are living in.

GOAL Ad .."Coghlan here" .....like we are supposed to know who he is? Obviously Eamonn Coghlan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eamonn_Coghlan but I couldn't tell you a thing about him. Bang of arrogance about it. :roll:

And today I heard an Irish language Ad for organ donors - got to admire the way they have turned wasteful virtue signalling into an art form.

Not to mention everything is with bloody sign language.

I’m probably being offensive but it bloody annoys me!!

Ciara Kelly wannabe rings up the National Lottery to see how much she's won in the "Loddo". Very realistic Ad - not! :roll:

Elephant Self Storage/ Elephant Storage has received a major rebranding as is now "Elephant Click & Store" - very catchy. The good news is that the phone number 494 naught, naught, naught, naught has been retained. Alas, poor Rory seems to have been axed. :mrgreen:

Chill Insurance Ad with stupid bird sound effects. Why are Ads for insurance designed by, and for, two years olds?

The way he doesn't even ask her for her name or any sort of actual proof that she won, makes me want to ring them up meself and just chance me arm.
