    Microsoft Pilot - Pizza shop uses this spreadsheet and starts to sell Pizza slices for a $1 and miraculously theres queues around the block.

    and...

    Some woman prattling on about the Polestar 4 Chinese electric SUV  "I've never seen anything like it...." what not even all the other bland SUVs that look exactly the same.

    Agreed. It’s got me thinking of going for YouTube Premium Lite.

    Anyone with experience of this think it’s worthwhile?

    AdBlockPlus deals with them for me.

    Does get a bit much I agree and can be a bit overwhelming at times, the RNLI is a worthwhile advert, but should be provided for through state funds anyway, but that's another story...

    Just looked this up, and say's it's free, I mean FREE really, does it work and is it really reliable and safe to use on Edge...

    I can't comment on your Edging requirements but I use it in Chrome and it's pretty good. Does seem to be an ongoing battle between Youtube and Adblock though, with Youtube constantly finding new ways to detect and disable it, before ABP updates to counteract.

    I’ve got You Tube premium, pricey but worth every penny to avoid the ads - I don’t have the patience to sit through them

    • The heat pumps ad with the Cockney, Brummie, Taff and Scouse accents. I don’t think everyone should speak in RP (I don’t), but the accents of the four people in that ad are so theatrically ott, it’s hard to think someone isn’t taking the piss.
    • Any Waitrose ad where Robert Webb prattles on in his sing-song voice about a load of snobby old foodstuffs. Apart from the fact that I’m just not interested in their poncy offering, I feel sorry for Robert Webb and feel that he’s better than that. 
    • It's not as bad as the old Alzheimer’s Society ads, but the new one where the old woman has just been diagnosed. I hate the line ‘I’m worried it will ruin my daughter’s life’ and I hate the fact that she says ‘I can’t do it on my own’ because she’ll be doing nothing. Most of all I just hate the fact that as an organisation they seem so useless at everything except asking for money.

    Bingo ads on That's TV! Every ad break seems to have the same ads. Aaarrrghh!

    Perhaps I should just stop watching programmes from the 70s and 80s!

    I always think this. We live on an island and its an emergency service! Why is it a charity and not funded like police, ambulance or fire brigade? Although looking at the state of those they're prolly better of relying on donations tbf!

    Those bloody Flash cleaner adverts with either a dog who thinks it can talk, or a couple of oiks who can only just get up from the sofa to dust over a tissue box, utter tripe...🤢

    The word search competition one where the answer is so blindingly obvious 
    £3.60 to enter and you don’t find out the winner until the end of August 
    shouldn’t be allowed

    I don't think they give you enough time to find it, one or two minutes is far to short to spot 'Daffodil" as the yellow flower required.

    There’s a weird one at the moment advertising a car with a google Ai built into it that can do voice commands or something useless. Anyway the ad is just this lady driving about and drafting a message to her estranged father again and again. Ends with something like ‘Hey Dad, I miss you’. Why the **** would I want to buy that?
