I have to laugh at the adverts where they make up 'technical' sounding words.

Like the skin wrinkle creams and my fav is Danone yogurts

Bifidus Regularis / Actiregularis / Digestivum /

Tusses,

"They" do it because most of the buying public are thick enough to be impressed.

I despair, that this once great technologically advanced nation is overrun (& run) by scientific illiterates.

I watched a Richard and Judy programme once and they visited a company producing make up. They stood in front of a large vat of lipstick compound, and when asked for which brand they were in formed that it was all the same, Woolworths to Paris, same mix different packaging.
Richard, logically pointed out that Judy could save a fortune if she stopped buying the expensive brands.
She refused point blank and seemed to horrified at the suggestion.

Many perhaps, not most.

1 bacteria evil on a kitchen worktop can multiply to 2billion by morning, so you should use a certain household spray that kills 99.9% of all germs dead (what other way would they be killed, :evil. Assuming this is an american billion evil that leaves 20,000,000 bacteria(s :twisted: )

1 bacterium - many bacteria
1 pedant ... many pedants

also i think it means it kills all of 99% of the known sorts of germs so it will probably not leave any unless you are unlucky enough to have germs present that come from the 1% it doesnt kill


The one that really annoys me is where it says it even kills h5N1 - we doh of course it does ... the h5h1 virus can be killed by nearly any kind of disenfectant or soap, or even boiling hot water - but this doesnt do you a lot of good if they cant be taken intravenously

and dont even get me started on the anti viral tissues

Well, looking at the SATS results, still a very large percentage of children not making any sort of grade in English. The stats do go on, to be fair, to identify the fact that a large percentage of these children have either special needs or don't have English as their first language.

However, the stats do identify that a large percentage of those failing English qualify for free school meals. Can anyone please explain the link?

My 2 most annoying ads at the moment:

Fabric softener that smells of Diamonds and Lotus Flower? Really? What does a diamond smell like?

It appears I owe someone an apology! It's not just Diamond, but White Diamond, apparently Different forms of Carbon have different smells!

Don't get me started on fabric conditioner :evil: . What ever happened to normal conditioner that smells of soap. I now have to go to work smelling of bloody rice flower and ylang ylang (whatever the fk ylang ylang is). As for grammar, the misuse of apostrophe s is the one that always gets my goat
