Right so there's this new advert for VHI health insurance on tv right. It's got this animated doctor dancing around and shit on her way to work, yeah. Then she has to tell some little kid that there's something wrong with them, so she breaks back into the dance again to 'cheer them up' or something. Reality: your doctor is literally dancing about in joy because your kid has cancer or something.
I suppose it's a pretty accurate advert for private health insurance.

I watched the final of the darts last night.

I never watch the darts.

The TV ads were hilarious, it was all dick pills and design your own funeral.

Good. Bucking the trend of keeping something going too long and diminishing its worth

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Agreed. End on a high. Then rewatches will be more rewarding
