[ILUG] [OT] Eircom, Go Further?

yes thats currently the most annoying advert.

The only thing that come close is the very
cheesy synth xylophone music for the Tesco
adverts. That first hint of that music 
results in a station change on my radio.

why are all the crap radio adverts on during
The Last Word on Today FM which would be
a much better show if the adverts weren't so
irritating.

I've finally snapped...

Am I the only one to find the radio ad with the "athletics coach"
telling the team to sign up with Eircom maddeningly inane?

It start with something like "Athletics is like the Internet" or some
such.

The punchline: "Shh, shh, Yes Tony?", <deferential enquiry> "Eircom, go
further?"  <confident reply from IT-savvy coach> "Yes; Eircom, go further"

has incrementally reduced the number of working radios in my house....

Now I feel better, back to work..

John

PS I didn't deliberately memorise it but it's so irritating that it just
stuck...
