Building society adverts are a pet-hate of mine with those Halifax ones being particularly guilty.

They're insincere if you ask me.

All the injury compensation adverts. National Accident helpline, Injury Lawyers4u being the worst of a particularly bad bunch.

T-Mobile with the annoying glockenspiel playing in the background. Who'd have thought an instrument radiating resonance could feel like a drill burrowing into the skull.

Life Insurance Ads. Arrrgggh! Simply Millfield is the worst. I don't usually advocate violence, but I know what I'd do with those blasted gnomes (as if anyone would place them outside their house) if I got my hands on them.

Expensive anti-wrinkle cream ads featuring 20yo models claiming to look "younger". Yeah right. Who do they think they're kidding?

Confused.com - No, it's not confusing phoning up several Insurance Companies for quotes.

I hate that one (I think its Fosters) where someone loses their head.

I also hate the Neil Morrissey/Lesley Ash ones - gone past their sell by date.

Though my most hated are the Halifax ones with Howard and anything with Linda Barker in especially the Curry's ones. That other girl does all the work and I bet she gets a fraction of Linda Barker's fee.

I heard this morning that they are axing the Desmond the trumpet player butter ones. I quite liked that one.

I read in a newspaper today that those adverts has been running for 20 years. I didn't know that they had been on for that long.

Default Annoying Ads
Okay, why do adverts insist on being annoying? All adverts these days are either boring, unimaginative, or PLAIN ANNOYING.

So - 3 of the worst offenders.

Esure / Michael Winner. Anyone who knows me knows that Michael Winner is the most-hated thing that I know, and no matter what he says, I will not 'calm down, dear', until he gets the HELL off my television.

Cravendale Milk - these toy figures shouting "MILK MILK!" in stupid voices. AAAAARGH. Why? What's the point? Argh!

and finally Hastings Direct - I hate that little knight. Oh, clever thing you did there with the number, but THERE'S NO NEED TO SING IT. Or the websites.

Needless to say I will never use these products/services, ever.

Now - what are your most-hated ads?
