They are frosties. They're all right. they aren't worth going down the street about. And in any case, you wake up, go downstaris, and have breakfast. Where's he been? Where's he going? Is he anticipating the next morning's cereal? Why would he do that? And is Ian Dury's estate getting royalties for the blatant ripoff of "I want to be straight"? Or is it his just reward for ripping "ello tosh got a toshiba" and paying Alexei Sayle nowt?

My pet hate, though I strongly suspect it is just me, is the current one for the Scottish Tourist Board/visitscotland. It shows a young and good-looking couple having a grown-up and good-looking coupley type city break - in a hotel room, in a restaurant, walking around, etc. It is clearly, to my having-lived-there-since-I-was-a-teensy-ailsa eyes, shot in Inverness. I imagine this is not clear to anyone who hasn't been to Inverness, as the back of the castle and the Greig Street Bridge aren't quite indicative of Scottish City Breaks as, say, Edinburgh Castle. Yet nowhere in the ad does it go "this lovely fun and vibrant place is Inverness, please come and visit it", it just says "have a city break in Scotland". So you think "I'm yer target audience, young, handsome, fond of fine wines and good food, I must go and have a break somewhere like, ooh, Scotland", guess where it is, wrongly, and you end up having a shite time in Dundee.

(split-second later) oh you missed the Jag!(Later)Son - it's on again! Quick! Me - where? where's the Jag? Son (tetchily) - you missed it again.
