    I assume an advertising campaign is supposed to have a positive effect and given the media coverage, this campaign has attracted more attention than most, the results seem disappointing.

    Given that the ad was apparently done by a woman, it would be ironic if the executives she pitched it to were reluctant to tell her it was bollox, lest they be thought misogynist. If it continues to have a negative impact how long will they give it?

    Diane Abbott complaining that people jeer and laugh at her because she is black and a woman.
    No Di, its because when you speak on a subject you are so far out of your depth, the coastguard couldn't reach you.
    She is comedy gold.

    I think you have this confused with the trivially annoying thread ;) Are you in marketing?

    Well said, I expressed my views on her last year when I said in 'Seemingly trivial things that annoy you'

Well Diane, I've got news for you - it's got nothing to do with you being female or black but everything to do with you being useless as a politician in general and a Shadow Home Secretary in particular. You probably wouldn't have survived as the latter without your tongue being stuck up Corbyns aris and probably wouldn't be elected to parliament anywhere else but 'ackney North & Stoke Nooington'. My apologies if I have offended anybody from Hackney North or Stoke Newington.

    I kind of envy you for being able to find a bit of comedy in her!

    Don't know how I got to read it then. Certainly didn't register.
    Perhaps they have a firewall to keep out riff raff. :wink:

    The fact that I would rather clamp my nads in a vice and set about them with a blow torch than vote Labour, helps.

    I hate to be pedantic but I think that if you clamped your nads in a vice firmly enough that they just wouldn't easily pull straight out you'd be totally incapable of setting about them with a blow torch. Nice image though.......

    If ever I vote Labour, you can come round and hold the blow torch.

    I am a 70s fox. If you check old pornos, it wasn't the done thing to shave your fur.

    You're talking to Pinno. What do mean 'if' ?

    I hope you are sitting down but I don't actually like porn.
    Now, can we get back to the burning issue?

    I'm selling tickets for the Bally gonad incineration spectacular and for this week only: a super vice bonanza chucked in.
    No applications for refunds for the squeamish will be entered into.

    The very one.

    All tickets will be sold on a 'first come. first served' basis. The management retain the right of refusing entry to individuals who do not meet our standards or dress code. There will be live, explicit acts of self harm involving a vice, a portable gas incinerator and no forms of anaesthetic. All those who enter do so at their own mental and physical risk.
