"One day, at work, Barbera Collier's Chair collapsed..."

Is anyone else sick of the way advertisement breaks are now full of such tripe as these compensation adverts?

'Have youm had an accident lately that wasn't your fault?' Isn't an accident, by definition, nobodies fault?

What has happened to our society? 50 years ago, if you fell off your chair at work you would be called a 'clumsy oaf' and told to get on with it. Nowadays, 'Barbera Collier' can claim £6,000 for falling off a chair and spilling her tea over herself.

Has anyone here ever tried to claim compensation for tripping up, spilling their tea or breaking their nail? Is there no such thing as a true accident anymore?

I go to uni with a lad who tries to get compensation for anything - claims against the council, against work (he works at the uni), discrimination claims, against same uni, for his wife. I keep telling him he was born on the wrong continent and to be honest I've never bothered asking if he was successful as most of the things I find trivial.

On a side note - you can claim compensation for breaking a nail? Rats - why didn't you tell me this Monday. I could have sued my Company for thousands!!

PLUS, Barbera's chair didn't collapse because it was broken, she just sat on the edge of the chair and the chair overbalanced- if I sued myself everytime I have fallen off my swivel chair by leaning back on it etc, I would be very poor (and rich aswell as I sued myself...hmmn)

As for spilling the tea- she shouldn't be drinking her tea near the computer anyway. Mind you, if she spilled it and electrocuted herself...

There was another advertisement today where a woman 'never saw the water on the floor' so she claimed for slipping over...WHAT??!

Those loan companies would have to pay me 'A LOT' if they wanted me to appear in one of their adverts, they make them look so dumb, I think the add is aimined at really stupid people. Barbara Colliers chair collapsed at work because everyone was so sick of her they rigged the chair in an attempt to permanently rid her of the office. Unfortunately for everyone else, she now appears on tv so that we all have to suffer as well. I feel like going to the TV studio just to insult them myself...

I could rant on forever, so I will. Another advert I hat is the Halifax one. The song was funny for about 20 seconds, now it inspires mass murders and psycotic rampages. Who wants to see some 40 year old bloke to a crappy dance trying to pretend he's sexy.

*shudders at the meer thought of it*

Yeah I prefer FFF's version. Saves a bit of money for the pooor insurance companies for when real claims are needed, like $50 billion worth of claims that Lloyds were liable for from the twin towers.

"One day, Barbera Collier's chair collapsed because she was too damn fat for it. She impaled herself on the exposed metalwork and was refused NHS treatment for being hideously obease, then died."

More like it ...

Another really annoying add is that halifax one, how much biiger can that guys head get? And the annoying tune makes me want to go crazy down at the local Halifax. PLEASE HALIFAX IF YOU'RE LISTENING, get rid of that awful advert...

The way they make the other banks sound boring and all the same, when Halifax really isn't that much different.





Mr. No shoes

Have you noticed the way they say such stupid things like,"**** finance made me feel confident in myself". What? You feel confident because some insurance company just ripped you off and took all your money???

heh :D

I crashed my car into the one in front and sued an 18 year old bombshell for bending over while going commando

One day on SR Crazycols's brain collapsed. At first nobody noticed. Then he called dullards direct and is now currently suing the SR notables for undue stress to his fagile little mind and nether regions.

Notorious biggles is currently suing the orchestra who follow him round playing the Dragnet tune when ever he opens a door.

Borat is currently suing Sasha Cohen under the cruelty to animals act 1984.

McDonalds are currently involved in heated litigation with themselves to the tune of 1 Billion dollars.

Come Mr Bigglesworth we have work to do.
