I noticed that the other day, followed by an advert for a Sale at the Brisbane Convention centre, and that was also very quiet. I wondered if the advertising people had been reading this thread !

Yeah, but you guys in Adelaide have the "haggle haggle" guy. I used to hit the mute button when his ads came on but still watch for the eye candy he is.

I was in the fruit market the other day....about 10am....and this ad comes on the radio.........

"When did you last climax? Not just faking it for his benefit, but a real toe-curler!"........and so it went on for another minute or so describing just what they really meant by the 'toe-curler'!
