Crappy Adverts Pt 2

Why spend millions on a top celebrity to advertise a perfume called Diamonds by singing the classic Bond song "Diamonds are Forever" when the singer can't even pronounce her f**king r's (like Jonothan Woss).  Diamonds are Fo"w"ever.  Beyonce...... baaaaaaaaad!

...and the got-to-be-most-annoying-advert-of-all-time award goes to...

Confused.com...

"I don't know where to buy a kitchen sink, i'm confused dot com"... "I don't know which loan is best for acting school, i'm confuuuuuuuuused dot com"... "I don't know which side of the bed to get up from...  ...i'm confused dot com", no you're not woman, getting a f**king grip - you might be confused but you're not a website for brokering loans with cheap rate television advertising!

Halifax, listen up, i'm fed up of telling you just how annoying your adverts have become - everyone's had enough of Howard (if that's his name as I always turn over when the Halifax adverts try to clutter up the grace that my television set portrays so neatly), and all the back-up actors need to stay away too - the adverts just aren't funny, aren't classy, and i'm pretty sure they aren't doing their job either.  Sort it out.

Top women from some recent adverts lighten the load.  I'm talking about the girl from the Special K adverts (also seen in some car rental adverts) and the French girl that was in some of the Renault Clio adverts, see here - thanks to adverts like this there is still hope for us...

Need I say more?

Crappy Adverts Pt 2

Fantasy Football ...again!

Up one more place and gaining a few points, but unfortunately Chelsea let me down to a fluke of a goal so no points gained there (and let's say nothing about my tips, lol), although both my strikers, Defoe and Agbonlahor did me proud, and so it's up to second and one place closer to that top spot.  Another mover and shaker is Lee Holland's BladeRunners who seem to be consistantly on the move, arrrgghhhhh, slow down, you're too close to me!  Here's how it all looks...

Fantasy Football ...again!

Back to joint second!.. and free £10 bet...

Fantasy football time again, and unfortunately, having young Wright Phillips in my team did me no good when they lead against a 10 man Newcastle and forgot how to play football.  Apart from last night's match I had a pretty good week and crawled back up to joint second (3rd really, but equal points to 2nd), yet I still have some way to go to win back my crown and sit top of the league again.  Maybe some of us should stick to betting, which reminds me, you can get a free £10 bet at Paddy Power at the moment to bet on the football, just click here and pick a few winners.  Here's a few tips for you for the coming weekends Premiership (weekend of 25/26th October)...

Sunderland to beat Newcastle, odds 6-5 - Sunderland have been unlucky recently but have been on fire and are due a win and Newcastle keep scraping the bottom of the barrel for the odd point but still sit second from bottom.  Sunderland also hold home advantage.

Chelsea to beat Liverpool, odds 10-11 - Chelsea are unbeaten at home for several years and Liverpool, although joint top with Chelsea at the moment have won about 4 games on last minute goals and in their last 2 games have relied on their opponents going down to 10 men in order to come back in to the game.  Liverpool have been very lucky, but against a team like Chelsea, especially at home, they will show their true colours - that of a losing team.

Man City to beat Stoke, odds 1-2 - Stoke rely on long throws and set pieces but outside of the top 4 Man City are the best team at holding the ball up and won't give many chances to Stoke, who still sit near the bottom of the table and in my opinion are favourites to go down this season.  Also, Man City, coming off the back of a poor performance against Newcastle, and with home advantage will want the points more than Stoke and although the odds aren't great this is a true banker, and one that should be bet on.

So a £10 treble on the 3 above matches will earn £63.  Not bad for sitting in front of the box and watching the scores roll in.

Back to the fantasy football and the league table, and good luck with the football bets, not that you'll need much, I'm pretty sure on all 3 of these bets.

2		Nikolay Mihaylov	Leeds Ledeburg	15	10	230
3		Richard Uttley	Uttley Allstars	13	9	230
4		Lee Holland	BladeRunners	11	9	225
5		Laura Richardson	Laura's Lads	10	9	220

Next week I aim to actually sit in second place.

Fantasy Football League Update...

It's been a hard week to earn any decent points but shooting up to second spot in League Uttley this week is Death Jester. In a recent interview I asked him "How did you manage that?" to which he replied "After a dissapointing start... stern words with certain under performers... culminating in the ritual murder of Babel... 2nd place is the first loser! They will try harder or suffer the 'bastard bat' once more!"... Here is the current league table as it stands...

1 danny joyce DANTHEMANS X11 216
2 Death Jester UltraSamp BelSamber 196
3 Laura Richardson Laura's Lads 195
4 Richard Uttley Uttley Allstars 191
