Petplan today!

Is this thread just going to keep going for years and years until we get bored of talking about adverts? :lol:

Oh yes.
Hyundai. New thinking, new possibilities.
Although if you ask me it looks very much like a BMW Estate.

And that Insurance ad with that vile Iggy Pop cartoon character.

There are some of us can't afford to pay a subscription for RailUK.
Having a 'members lounge' or a paid only area creates a 'us and them' culture...

I wish I could help more towards the running costs but I can't. Adverts are great, and I do click them as well.

Ads will also vary given a company may only do a short campaign. I also forgot to mention that any business can pick certain sites by category, such as transport.

The Google ad network is very well established, which is after all the main way the company makes money and can offer so many services and applications for free.

I'm pleased to see that they seem to consider that my tastes are fairly upmarket. i have Conrad Hotels & Restaurants and still more Cruises to Greece.

And English Country Cottages.
I wouldn't want to have to answer the phone for that company, incidentally.

Peugeot and Vodafone are dominating my adverts at the minute, although I also keep getting a pic of a boy in a swimming pool looking rather joyful with a girl, presumably his sister, in the background - but no indication of what it is exactly...

I actually wonder if the Peugeot adverts are actually an advertisement by Google advertising their advertisements! :?

I suppose that I see quite a few, as I visit different sub-forums on here, but there is a distinct French and sporting link to some of mine today.......

.......plus the news that I have come out of retirement to help my former Consultancy, makes sense of the following...

Now the latest generation of online poker, and P&O Cruises from Cape Town to Southampton. <:D I'm glad they seem to think I have a large Disposable income.

Well surprise surprise, I'm being targeted by Quick Quid, typical 1734% APR and 359% per annum interest! :lol:

Today's efforts are (in this order):

- Cunard Line cruises
- Travel Insurance
- Credit Card
- Hotel
- Jobs website

...Call me cynical, but are they trying to subliminally make me book a holiday and go way overboard with a credit card, thus not being able to afford the return fare and find a job in wherever my cruise took me..? Doesn't sound like a bad idea tbh :lol:
