Haha! Unlucky! Gotta love Wiki vandalism - that edit was caught and undone within seconds, but Google just happened to be passing at the right time.

Adverts where they suggest that the purchasers of their products are a bit mad or that something otherwise undesirable happens to buyers. One of the most recent I've seen (although not the worst offender) are the Kia Sportage adverts - 'buy one of these and start talking to your imaginary friends', what's appealing about that? Or alternatively adverts that are completely disengenuous such as the advert asking why you'd drive a box when the cars a sodding supermini and there's little more boxy available - to top it off whoever it is parks like a complete tool and takes up 4 spaces...

I very rarely drop my ciggie ends in the street. I would not dream of lighting up in a non-smoker's house or unless I knew the person smoked in the house.

But I'm not going to ask anyone's permission to smoke when I'm out in fresh air in an area where I know it is legal to smoke. I don't blow my smoke in other people's faces, not even fellow smokers, niether do I smoke near someone's front door or windows when they are open and I don't know any smokers who do.

But no, I'm not going to ask for permission.

I did actually snub it when it first came out as it seemed 'too healthy'

But now... the healthy brown rice and meatballs and coleslaw - I LOVE!

The chicken in aioli too... mmm

So yum!
