New shoes. Blisters on my heel.

Like godd*mn clockwork!

I didn't mind doing the dishes until we had a kid. Now all of a sudden my workload increased by 50% and my salary stayed the same!

Waitaminnit! Somebody PAYS you to do the dishes?!

My salary remained at $0 plus benefits* a year!




* Benefits include my wife saying thank you from time to time....and that's about it.

[Russell H]

Um... you have a kid.

I have to assume there was another benefit at least once...

Glass fibre cable is being installed in the apartment building, and the work seems to exists exclusively from drilling holes in walls with big NOISY drills.

[Ulf Imwiehe]

Are there any other types of drills?

Dental drills, while scary, are not very noisy. They seem so because they are close to your ear.

[Ulf Imwiehe]

Thank you!!!

[Arjan Dirkse]

Are there any other types of drills?

I'm not sure...it just amazes me that apparently every conceivable kind of construction work seems to be done exclusively with drills these days. Put in a new door? Let us drill. Fix the water tap? Drill baby drill! Paint the kitchen cabinets? Drill the heck out of that cabinet! etc etc

Is it normal to be this pissed off by characters in a tv advert? The student flatmates in the BT adverts send me into a inconsolable rage for no apparent reason. I fucking hate them but I'm not sure why...

I hope it's normal; otherwise maybe you and I can get a group discount on therapy.

Yes. Yes it is....

For quite a while there, I thought that was a parody.

Man, I want to hit those guys in the face with a shovel.

[Steve Sensible]

I just want to know what the ad agency who came up with that were thinking. Even if the universe is infinite and every conceivable variation of earth is out there somewhere, I guarantee there isn't a single one where people hold a party to launch a fucking operating system!

I couldn't get beyond 20 seconds, hand me a shovel!

Insomnia. That's fun, isn't it.

No. But I'm slowly getting it under contrzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The geeky guy looks like a pyschopath. I am waiting for the end of the series where he goes off the rails and murders the other two. It makes the adverts bearable

Hand drills are quite quiet.

And yes the BT Infinity ads are surely the slow documentation of the descent of an odd man into serial killing. Can't work out if he'll kill the girl or the other guy first (the two of whom will surely end up hooking up, causing the main one to kill out of grief and revenge).

I think the twist is that it'll be the girl killing them both. In the living room. With a broadband cable.

A superfast broadband cable.

"Our broadband's so fast you can kill two people in your living room and Google how to remove the evidence before anyone hearing their dying screams has managed to finish the 999 call!"

Heh. I may carry on watching these inane adverts in the hope that it all goes that way.
