Hanging up the boots.
All of the adverts mentioned have done their job. They have got noticed.

For me it is the one with Jedward. I couldn't even tell you what its for so that hasn't done a job.

Confused.com - drives me nuts, how can a cartoon singing Somebody to Love and Chain Reaction rather annoying encourage people to use a price comparison website? I have to stick the telly on mute whenever they appear as it makes my ears bleed....AAAAARRRRGGGHHH

Even Go Compare is more tolerable than that offal......

I very very rarely watch tv. Maybe 2 or 3 hours a week. If that. And an incredibly small percentage of that time is commercial channels. That said, this post should have carried a public health warning ...

All these bloody sofa adverts who tell us that the sale ends on Sunday only for it to be "specially extended" the following week.

Is there anyone out there who has actually paid FULL PRICE for a sofa from DFS, SCS etc.

But I know we'll meet again, some sunny day...
Chip another one in for Go Bloody Compare. That's an insta-mute.

Thing is, I already used their site before as I did all the price comparison sites - if you just use one you're doing it wrong.

Yeah but it doesn't work, when I was looking for car insurance I made a clear decision not to use gocompare or confused.com because the adverts are so terrible. I'll also never use 118 for similar reasons.
