    Daytime TV adverts

    So I work from home and sometimes have the telly on in the background for some company...

    Adverts are non-stop car insurance (irritatingly jolly) and injury lawyers (irritatingly sombre)

    It's like there's a 5 minute break from adverts every now and again for a short interlude of content.

      Don't forget the short term loan ones at 1000000% APR.

          Aye, R6 or R4 here, depending on mood.

          Back in the 90s when I was working from home there were some good local radio stations. I then made the mistake of moving 100 miles where the local commercial radio was crap. That was the start of the "We'll sue on your behalf" onslaught and it did me head in back then.

          Virgin Radio was stilled linked with the record label back then, so that was non-stop U-blurry-2. I have hated the gits ever since.

          My CD collection got a huge boost in that period.

              Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                Oh yes, I unmute the adverts for them.

                But those are the only ads I listen to, and I don't recall what they are trying to flog - Something to do with car insurance perhaps?
