Do think have a poo in freinds house is?

[Harlequin]

I am not diagnosed with a PDD (although my last shrink considered it a possibility) but I can experience similar sensations. Turning a light on, for example, can produce a tingling sensation throughout my body.

I hardly ever notice any smells beyond my bog. Inside, sometimes, but that is what the box of matches is for.

(Smells from solid droppings in the loo, that is. Gaseous emissions from beasties on the sofa have been strong in the past, although not during recent visits).

So this is airing on ITV at the moment. Me and Wife-of-Istar looked at each other disbelievingly before simultaneously asking "is that a joke ad?".



It isn't. It's a real thing. Truly we are living in the End Times.

Now I know how wheetos are made, I don't think I'll ever buy them again.

It's threads like these that really do highlight the north/south divide

That sounds like euphemisms, but I'm not sure what for.

Hoe. Lee. Shit. I knew there was a reason for always skipping adverts with the DVR...

That ad seems to be airing every break at the moment D:

Aye, you're right...

What's an ad break?

What's an ad break?

That bit where they interrupt a TV programme to try and sell you shit for about 4 minutes

Oh yeah, my dad used to tell me about those..

I'm watching broadcast TV at the moment, and it's irritating that I can't skip adverts after five seconds.

Ever had adverts run on for so long you've forgotten what TV show you were originally watching?

I once saw a film all the way through while waiting for an add break, I believe it was on ITV, but after the lack of adbreaks I can't be sure.

Not since I gave up (long ago) on broadcast TV.

I've started channel surfing during ads only to realise that I'm not sure where I started, and I don't recognise anything in the EPG, and there's ads on every channel, and I don't know how to find my way back, and no matter how long I keep switching every channel I try is just ads.

Sometimes this happens because it's the very last part of a programme and clock skew between channels convinces the EPG that what I was watching has already finished and it won't let me scroll back into the past to see where it was.

If I started surfing at the start of the ads then my programme should be the last one where the ads finish (if all breaks are the same length), so all I should have to do is keep hopping off of channels when programmes resume and they're the wrong thing; but in the interim new ads start and they could finish even later than where I set off from, so I really don't know unless I keep a checklist of candidate channels, which is just silly.

Sorry to resurrect and apologies if you've seen this before, but behold the perils of worrying about having a poo in freinds house is (in pidgin, which makes it even more amusing IMO):
