	That guy on Go Compare does have a fine voice though. I find the one where the cat is the little boys best friend a bit disturbing.

	I find the government one about catching benefit frauds disturbing. The bstrds tried to 'catch' me - and I wasn't a fraud ! First time their records were wrong. Second time they accused me of working when I was at Uni. Very very threatening - shame they were so intent on catching me they failed to realise the local council pays a month in arrears!! I offered to let them take me to court - but they strangely backed down LOL Oh - and the CSA deducted 6 weeks benefit from me for 5 years when my ex went to Australia. I couldn't provide an address! (That would be because he hadn't given me one!!), and I refused to lie and say he was violent and I was afraid of him!!!!!

	I don't like the 'Go Compare' advert either.

	Anyone notice in the 'Mabelline' mascara advert - in small letters at the beginning - 'filmed with inserts & post production enhancement' - ie not like it really is!! Same with hair products - 'filmed with extensions' etc, and the 91% (of 25) agreed!! They ALL annoy me!!!

	People that make these adverts must think we are silly - to believe the hype. Another one at mo is the one with cheryl cole - she has extensions too

	They definitely annoy me, Maggie - that and the hair dye that (I think) Davina McCall is advertising where it says in small letters that her hairstyle includes hair extensions. One other one I haven't seen for a while is one of the Neutrogena ones aimed at teenage skin where the girl is complaining that she gets spotty, so she gets stressed and then she gets more spots - and her skin is totally clear to start with! I've only ever seen one commercial about a product for teenage skin that showed real people in before and after clips (and the "after" ones were much better lit than the "before" ones!) and they drive me mad because I've had problem skin since I was 11.
