Fiat did that with the scrappage scheme years ago and I got a lovely little Punto because of it.

Mid to late 90s I’d say, pretty sure my mother got a lovely new punto out of it as well. Think it could have been the bones of a thousand punts for any auld shit heap to be scrapped
Yeah, I scrapped a 1980 Kadett.

It’s worth about 10k now
Fair play. I just thought it was smart cos they just brought it out after the tubridy thing saying renault would top you up.
In 1997, my mother scrapped a piece of shit 12 year old Suzuki Swift and got a new Ford Fiesta. Think it was guts of £2000 trade in. I think some of the dealers were topping up what the government were giving. I bought that car off her then about six years later and had it for 4 or 5 years.
There’s an ad on the radio for some lad called Jack Whitehall who is going to play the 3Arena. He sounds like one of the most unfunny cunts going.
The Gaiety Panto ad.
“Wonderfully spectacularly brilliantly stupendously….” Fuck off!!
How much are the tickets?

That new Virgin Media ad in the mornings. It claims to shorten the commute but is borderline infuriating. It entails random quirky quiz questions like:
• “True or false?” A: Correct
• Asks the listener to identify which audio clip is a dog barking. Disclaimer: One is a man barking.
• To choose a colour and double it.
• Perhaps must annoyingly of all it expects you to tot up a score at the end.

I think that’s gas tbh, makes me laugh
Why do RTE have some woman saying “music updates on RTE radio one” after every ad for a concert or gig?

Ad on the radio makes me laugh every time.
It’s the one where AIG has some kind of discount. And at the end of the ad the actor thanks them for the discount.
A company creating an ad where they thank themselves is really magnificent stuff.
The Gaiety panto ads are back
