Re: Do tv adverts drive you mad?

Thats an interesting point you've made Anji, but how much is enough.

It's a bit like when an elderly person dies and people say " He was 86 so it's ok" Is 86 enough but 39 not enough
Whadya think>?

Re: Do tv adverts drive you mad?

Robert, i think, i have enough food, i have enough warmth, i have enough love, i'm not greedy, i always have room for my friends ,i am happy with it is as you say, an interesting point, we all have different levels of 'enough i am happy with my lot in life , wonder what other members think is enough ?

Abraham Maslow's Heirarchy of Needs is a useful and simple model to explain what can be quite difficult to pin down. It has been expanded in more recent times.

Re: Do tv adverts drive you mad?

Thankyou Areolor . Can't add much to that.
I suppose, that said, everyone's experience of life is different.

Re: Do tv adverts drive you mad?

Very true Robert.

Re: Do tv adverts drive you mad?

Couldn't agree more, Anji...if we have enough to continue our current life-style, (and perhap's, in time, increase it a tad?), why hunger for more?.

The words of my favourite (late) Uncle often surface when I get tempted to over-stretch meself...'pay for what you can afford to pay for...paying more than you have will only lead to grief!'.

Profound wisdom indeed, eh?.

Re: Do tv adverts drive you mad?

The one that really does my head in, is that screaming Italian shouting the odds (literally), on that Ladbrokes advert. I can never get to my mute button quick enough.Nearly as bad on the same theme, is the creepy Ray Winstone invitation to chuck your money away on senseless gambling.

Re: Do tv adverts drive you mad?

John, you mentioned RAY WINSTONE's voice.

I have a habit of ,instead of watching adverts, listening to them to try and identify the owner of the voice-over .

They're all at it.
