The orginal Bev, or the suspicious imposter Bev that turned up in later ads?

If I actually watched TV then they would possibly annoy me… but after years of doing the sound for fucking adverts I think I’m immune from them. Go and make a cup of tea when they are on like a normal person!

I usually flick through the channels when they’re on - but that dog is so annoying its voice stays in my head :(

So you make tea every 20 minutes then? That sounds about right! :p

*hopes Divers stayed sane*

I doubt anyone would have noticed.. would they?

I have sneaked the word wanker into the background of a toyota ad years ago, because I was bored.

I would burn the thing before it got close enough to open its mouth, let alone trust it. But I don’t drive, so it won’t happen. Although I was thinking I might take my test seeing as I’m not working. Is it very difficult?

not really the best person to ask. I took six tests and punched the examiner on my last one. Only to find out he was passing me. :rolleyes:

Passing you in the testing sense, or just wandering by on foot? :p

You are making that up?

really not no! He started having a go at me for mistakes i’d made and i just lost it (what with it being the 6th attempt an’ all) so i shouted back at him something like “if you’re going to fail me just do it, right??” I opened the car door to get out and he grabbed me so i just swung out and unfortunately i hit him square in the chest, winding him…he shouted “GET BACK IN THIS CAR NOW!!” so i did, and then…he told me i’d passed…then gave me a lecture about the attitude of young folk today etc etc and how he was in half a mind to fail me. So, anyways, i passed, and i was LIVID! Why bollock someone so much then go “well done!” ??

You are such a knob end! :p They tell you what you did wrong so you don’t drive off straight away and kill someone. It’s supposed to help you be a better driver. Even I know that.

I took my test once. It was horrible. I had to do a parallel park, and I felt the back wheel touch the curb and I thought that would mean I’d failed, so I didn’t really care after that. I shot off like shit off a stick and then went over an unmarked junction :( Which was super annoying because that was all i failed on. He didn’t even give me a minor error for the parking - so if I hadn’t been in a mood I would probably have passed first time. That was 18 years ago, mind. It’s probably changed a bit since then! :S

I hate tests of any kind. I just freeze, totally. I’ve walked out of an accountany exam before now after writing just my name and student number on the test paper!

Years ago when a friend of mine took and failed her test, she apparently nearly hit a motorcyclist. The funny thing was the was the way she described what her problem with learning to drive actually was. Namely, that she never actually felt like she was personally controlling the car; she just felt like a passenger, and subconsciously slipped into passively enjoying the ride.
Hence nearly killing a motorcyclist.

Did you, or did you not quote the wrong post there? Or are you suggesting Olivia Colman actually IS the Churchill dog?

No no no, it’s ‘… drive you crazy?!’

The first one of those adds was just annoying, but I feel a little unsettled that all the other adverts that they’ve released have used exactly the same script, word for word. Don’t they know they’re actually being broadcast? Do they perhaps think that they’ll get a few goes to pick the good one?

Or, more worryingly, do they just not care?
