Quite a while since my last post :D...............

but anyway i just want to know why sofa companies presume we all need a brand new sofa for christmas and then another one for new year? the other day i counted 6 sofa adverts on tv (sad i know)
its like some sort of law "YOU WILL BUY A HALF-PRICE SOFA FOR CHRISTMAS". ...................
and its SO ANNOYING.

i know im not getting a sofa for christmas (well actualy im getting a new 20" HP Flatscreen monitor ;))

does anyone else now what there getting?

TV adverts...and Sofas...

I know the feeling exactly...

..especially when they offer them at half-price....

...and still make a profit...

...and I am wondering why they were double the price in the first place... :o...!

Although the adverts can be annoying, have you not stopped to think that some people actually do need a new sofa? :-?

I can remember the shock of seeing Xmas ads in November! I'm THAT old ::)
It is when they start selling Santas in June that it'll be time to find a nice comfortable room with rubber wallpaper for planet Earth ;)

Until you see a Pizza Street or Spangles commercial you have no right to complain about TV ads...

The old greenhill finance adverts were simply terrible.

There were some 'employees' talking to camera in an obviously-scripted and obviously-being-read-off-a-board monotonic drone. And that was it.

Disturbingly boring. :o
