I still remember the 1KHz tone that went out with the BBC test cards many years ago.
It didn't do for me what it was designed to do (wake you up in case you fell asleep in front of the box), however I still remember it solely because it is one of those frequencies that just "hits the spot" if you hear it when awake.

Ad far as adverts that piss me off goes, anything that says "think of the children" is just about guaranteed to get my goat - because they only use that phrase in the hope of hitting your guilt complex.

Despite not liking adverts I would be more than happy to put up with them on the BBC,just for the pleasure of knowing that all those lentil munching socialists on the taxpayers gravy train at the Beeb were having to learn to survive in the real commercial world. :)

The programmes squeezed between the ads are equally as bad.
   The answer is don't switch it on in the first place. Go to the kitchen, put a cd on prepare & cook a meal, go & tinker in the garage, sit at the pc at least it's interactive. Friends have these HUGE things hung on the wall with stacks of dvds & i feel sorry for them if that's all they've got to look forward to.
    Don't watch the adverts or the sad excuse for programmes. ::)

Quite a few are mad - I can think of a few but can't remember their names.

My boss was off work for a couple of months health scare and he knew it was time to come back when he got addicted to a Jeremy someone or other show.

There are some good programmes if you look for them.

What is worrying for me is that 90% of what I watch broadcast is from one company.

Mind you my ITV watching is at an all time high - 2 programmes in a week ;D ;D

I have a contest with my wife about what the heading is going to be on Jeremy Kyles show. Its a great game, you should try it.

Just make sure it always involves the brother being in love with his sister who is pregnant with his baby but she has strong feelings for her father who could also be the babys dad.

We'll be back with the DNA results after this break, dont go away!!!!!!

I hate all the adds, plus what gets me riles is the fact that the add breaks used to be 2 mins long, and every 15 mins.

Some sky progs they are 4/5 mins long (it seems) and sometimes 10 mins appart.


Best investment I made was Sky + HD (Hate thier charges and program/ad structure.  but the invest ment in the box now means I record everyt thing and rhen FF through the ads.  ::)

What makes me laugh is that I thought they could only advertise the truth.

The car repair ad for example, does not hypnotise kids.

Dog and animal charties, the dogs cant firking write, so how the hell can they keep the sponcers informed.

Lynx spray ads, how many times have you seen hoards of women chasing men arround.

The list could go on.

I hate all bloody adverts although some more than others. Trying to watch anything on Sky channels is particularly painful when you're stuck into a really good programmme and you get 5 minutes of ads every 10 minutes. More American culture. >:(

Thank you Sky+. I rarely watch live TV anymore.

Specific ad's? Well too many to mention all of them, but here is a few recent ones....

Paul from Autoglass
Compare the smeerytw4t
'I want to do a poo at Pauls'

It could be worse though, think party political broadcasts.
