Ah sounds like google are in charge of advert scheduling now.

The other night during Bones, in which a Stewardess on a long haul jet was
microwaved to death in an oven, there was a commercial for the large range
of meals available in one foof the supermarkets. I guess somebody had a
sense of humour over at Sky. Ie it was Pick.
You often get adverts for insurance in programs based on the work of the
emergency services as well.
While on the subject of adverts, I do notice some irritating behaviour on
commercial channels where a long part is shown before the first break, then
progressively shorter bits between the later ones.
This I assume is to get people hooked in and then blast tem with the adverts
mercilessly.

TBH, it would never have occurred to me to use a hot cross bun as a
burger bun, filled with a rasher. I might try it out of interest though.

Man who nearly chopped off leg recovered well, unlike the roofer who
fell through an asbestos roof on C5 last night. His pelvis and hip joint
are now like reinforced concrete. A salient warning to anyone fixing up
their shed or garage. You don't have to fall very far onto concrete to
do an awful lot of damage.


ISTR Geoff said his uncle or cousin or similar fell through the bedroom
ceiling from the loft a year or two back, and died.
