Horrible, beastly ad and dreadful little boy. I suppose, when my kids were small, they probably used old fashioned euphemisms like 'going to No 2s' but they just better had been expecting to do their No 2s in their own loo, as I remember noone who would have said 'Come in little child, we're just hoping you'll do your log in our bog - ours smells so much nicer than yours'. But, I can imagine everyone's indignation, including my own! Kill the little blighter. Oh, and I hate that word 'poo' (pooh) even if I do use it myself.

Yuk

One of my first threads on this board all those years ago was about the ad for Pot Noodles with the horn lol Someone must have been reading the thread as it was discontinued soon after lol
I too hate the poo one and another one I think it ridiculous is the one where the kid says Daddy where do I come from and gets a birds and bees lecture all the way home, just as they pull into the drive he says, Oh that's so cool, so and so only comes from Scotland!
So predictable and the child is dreadful at the acting bit

The interesting thing about the 'where do I come from?' ad, is that the kid actually seems to come from Australia, or NZ. I think we shoud tell him that he's an Ozzer before someone else does, or he might get over-enthusiastic about all those wonderful,but unnecessary fireworks!.

Almost? *shudders*...lol

I hate that advert too! You poo, loo smells - been like that for decades - get over it!!

Mac, the best thing I (accidentally ) found for constipation was Jeyes fluid in a bucket! When we had an 'empty your own' system in the Shetlands, I used to disinfect the bucket using Jeyes fluid and hot water. Sit on that for a minute or two and your bowels come to life!! LOL!
Maybe something to do with the steam.

Merriweather, you are right about that ad being antipodean. I think the fountain is in Mission Bay in Auckland. There has been a follow-up ad with a young girl asking her mother the same question and if I remember rightly the mother hums and hahs and then says 'ask your father'. I cant say I watch the ads much, my brain turns off when they come on but my OH often comments on something in an ad and I have to admit that I didnt see/hear it. Though having said that, there is one that I hate, a small boy saying in a horrible squeaky voice 'mummy mummy pick me up mummy'. I think it is for tena pads. I always mute the tv for that ad, in fact for most of them.

Huia.

*ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR MAC*


I would write *clap, clap, clap* but people might get the wrong idea..lol

LOL Sue!!!

well done Mac - a gold star for you !!!!

Thank God you've been Mac, I was going to send Dyno-rod out to you...lol...

Bet you feel a lot better now!!

I hate that ad too......

.......also when my MiL says she has had a good clear out, I thought she meant she had been tidying up........but no........far too much information.....

sally

So pleased for you Mac, hope you stay regular now lol

I find that looking at our latest Council Tax bill does the trick.

MAC.... CONGRATULATIONS!!



I do know the ad we are all talking about... I could not place it.

I was talking about it to my OH and he told me... it is the one I have been MOANING ABOUT since it started.

You are right, it is disgusting.
What a way to teach our children to behave.
And before we all disagree, think of an advert YOUR child has copied.
Mine have copied adverts as far back as the idiot woman in the early 60's who used to wash her face with "the creamy foam' and washed only her forehead, cheeks and chin!!
A simple little one to start with.
You must have many,many more... some nasty one ?

Mac, dear, I,m so pleased for you, but really, darling, this all far too much information.

I have been left with images in my mind that are going to last me a life-time.

I wondered what the BANG!! was Mac.

Ever wish you hadn't started something....roflmao

Mac, enough dear!!!!!

My son's teacher's jaw dropped when he put his hands up and said 'Please Miss may I go and defecate? ' Mind you this was over 30 years ago and he was just showing off a new word he had learned..., nowadays they would send him for counselling....lol BC XX

Good on you Mac Do you think this had anything to do with the Earthquake in Italy?

Joking apart about the advert, years ago when I lived in Essex the boy next door always wanted to use our loo, he was 3 or 4, When one day my fil was there and asked why, Would appear his older sister had said there were witches in their loft, and the means of gettng in their loft was in their bathroom, she had said one would come out and grab him. Hence the fright of going up there, and wanting to come and use ours.

How terribly posh...lol I would have loved to have seen the teacher's face.

Mo,

How awful to do that to a child. I know someone who threatens their children with 'the gypsies will come and take you away', the working minds of some parents beggars belief.

Su M, This was not his parents but his sister who was two years older than him, and really liked to frighten him, His mother did not know anything about it, until I told her. Needless to say the sister got a good telling off.
He got his own back later on by scribbling all over her favourite doll with indelible pencil.
