I’ve just seen an advert for one of those part work magazines. Build the Batmobile in 120 issues - first issue is £1.99 and the others are £11.99.
Anyone desperate enough to pay £1300+ for a plastic model of the Batmobile?

Turns out it’s diecast and not plastic, but still… £12 an issue and 120 issues ?
They normally go missing after about 12 issues from most newsagents. Tend to go over to a subs model which then fails to get delivered. I think they aim for the poor buggers who are a bit anal in their followings or, and I apologise for how bad this sounds.... folk on the spectrum as they can really get into their followings to a crazy degree and DeAgostini are people for taking advantage of this.

One of my first jobs was in WH Smith’s and I used to have to sort people’s subscriptions in big filing cabinets ready to pick up. We used to get so many of these magazines with all sorts of crap. A lot of the time people wouldn’t bother picking them up after a few weeks. There were also quite a few where the publisher went bust halfway through releasing the publications, leaving a bunch of people with a half built F1 car model.

Numan have got TWO more.
Theres Action Man doing a risqué fandango with a barbie-type doll to which they both dance-off towards The Bedroom, seconds later up pops the erectile disfunction thingy! Now I thought Action Man's issues were far greater than needing two lollipop sticks and an elastoplast seeing as he does not have and never has had A Willy! LOL

I wonder if there’s a film idea where Jason Vorhees from the Friday 13th films rocks up to the same hotel as the obnoxious On The Beach family?

I’m not sure what they call the sponsorship wrappers at the start and end of programmes, but the crappy bingo ones on the Chase.

It used to annoy me that Foxy Bingo sponsored the Jeremy Kyle show. JK has a well-documented gambling problem and it’s obviously targeting vulnerable people.

The one where there are a bunch of people in historical dress around a dinner table. One woman goes on about a bloody mess down there and it's an advert for tampons! Yeah keep trying to humiliate women and invade their privacy. 🙄

I've just seen a really stupid one. How did the man who invented clocks know what time it was? What?! I mean sundials spring to mind amongst the entire history of other time telling devices.
Idiots.

Imagine this song playing at 7am when you're late for work, stuck in traffic, had barely any sleep, haven't had time to eat and you hate your job but can't afford to quit 🤡
