Just a small list of annoying ads that come up all the time in my area The Esure ads (every single one, even with that bloke saying "calm down dear, it's only a commercial) Sheilas Wheels Diamond (Using Women and Safe drivers in the same ads and in the same line??, yeah right. Women drivers in my area are blind stupid, they drive into the middle of the road right in front of another driver, usually causing an accident) The new "Frosties" ad (They're gonna taste great, what did they taste like before then, horrible??) Halifax ads (i'm sick of Howard appearing on TV) Those new Nationwide ads, hate them so much Cillit Bang ads (Barry Scott, p*ss off mate, your crap) Ronseal ads, does exactly what it says on the tin. No it doesn't, trust me. But as for a good ad, the Strongbow ads that end with "Taste that hits a little deeper", they're good. So is the Woolich "Honymoonin for bout 15 year now" ads.

Lets see: Nintendo should have carried on advertising using similar adverts like the ones used at the beginning of the GC life, advertising games like Rouge Leader and Melee sold these by the bucket load. They really ought to have advertised games like Wind Waker, Metroid Prime, Pikmen, Hitman 2 (it was a GC game) and Metal Gear Solid. If advertising was kept up, sales of GC's and games would have been higher, then maybe games companies like Rare, Eidos, Capcom and EA would have made more games for the GC, or possibly stayed exclusive (Rare, Capcom) to Nintendo. If advertising was used more (even have demos of new games at stores more often), we would have seen sales of these games skyrocket. More third party games would have been good, games like Tomb Raider (coming too late now), Far Cry and Hitman Blood money would have helped sell the console more. Less Mario themed games would have been great, they should have stopped at Tennis. More FPS, racing and fighting games would have been awesome. Less games like Woody Woodpecker (who gives a ****) and kiddy film franchise games would have helped sell the console more because no-one buys these games anyway (except mothers who want a cheap, easy game for the kids to play on) Also, the colour choices of the GC being purple and black at launch wern't too good. Possibly it should have been black and silver at launch. Also maybe a choice of either having the Wavebird or standard GC controller bundled with the console along with game bundles like Metoid Prime 2: Echoes, Metal Gear Solid and Timesplitters. The big thing that would have sold the GC well would have been ONLINE gaming. It was launched with PSO (thats when GC sales increased a bit due to the promise of online gaming), then it slipped and dissapeared into a hole. No-one who i now who has a GC has a GC modem. Online gaming made gamers buy an X-Box or a PS2 because the GC was not online. Nintendo need to learn from these mistakes to make the Wii a good console to buy, they seemed to have learned with the DS, that is selling very well. With the launch of the DS lite (advertising well), this is one killer handheld (same can't be said about the GBA sadly)

Drink Red Bull, it helps for a couple of hours. Or take Pro-plus. I took some when i had to do an exam and course work, managed to get a C and a B in the exam and coursework. But you should really have some sleep, i can have about 4-5 hours sleep and feel fine afterwards.

Finally, here is my desktop at the moment

I'd like to see the new ECW, see what it is like and how it compares to the old days. But, after what i read in here, i don;t think it is that good anyway. Just watched the Vengence press conference, like what Triple H said about the ECW/WWE title "Great thing about having an ECW title match in a ballroom is not only can you win the title on a Tuesday, you can also win it in Bingo on Wednesday"

I got the following autographs Chris Barrie Craig Charles Jim Carrey Tim Allen It was hard to get Tim Allen's and Jim Carret's autographs, but i got them by sending a letter with a request for an autograph. Got 2 personally signed photos back within 2 months. Got Chris Barrie's and Craig Charle's autographs at Dimension Jump last year

I'll post my desktop when i get home later, watch this space

I used to collect 2 magz, these are: Official Nintendo Magazine - Great mag, much better than the old NOM. Great reviews and good articles NGC - Before they went under - Heres hoping that the new one is better than previous Still collect ONM, but stopped NGC since it is no longer on sale

I'll give this an 8/10. This is because i love marshmallows mmmmmmm.

I'm never online whenever they update the catalouge. Don;t go on much because of the cruddy stuff NOE sell, much better stuff in NOA and NOJ catalouges.

lol, i agree. This advert is funny, but more of a stupid funny than a good funny

All i can say about this is........................... RIP-OFF. £1.69 for four of these, rather buy two 2 letre bottles for the same price

Most of Police Story (Jackie Chan) has some brutal fight scenes in. The biggest one takes place in a shopping mall. Watch the film to see all the scenes.

Lucky for me i havn't got halogen lights, so it won;t effect me at all. Unless between now and Wii launch i get halogen lights fitted, which i most likely won't

Good price estimates, i would have guessed it would sell around £120-£140 in Britain. A very good price for any console at launch

I tend to use Fox a lot, very quick and he is an awesome character to use. Other times, i use Adult Link when i battle mates, i win most of the time if i use these two characters.

I just tell them that i'm not interested in them anymore, that usually works without them getting equal. Other times, i might just send crap to them from the internet e.g. free cat food or sample of bold. They soon get fed up with it and tell me its all over.

I've won about £80 on scratchcards, and about £20 on lotto. Thats only playing it once in a while, same with scratchcards

Awesome show on Sunday, it still shows that BBC can deliver a decent show on Sunday nights. Loved the "dampervan"

Most likely get at lanch TP Corruption Wii Sports Red Steel I will be getting other games as and when they come out

If the news is true, it sounds very good bringing the Wii out earlier than expected. But even if it still comes out in November, it will still outsell the PS3 (now expected to sell at £425 for the basic one, read a piece in the Times)

I'm not sad enough to watch BB live like some people i know, but i do watch the highlights on C4 some nights. Now thats a crazy bunch of people in there lol

I reckon when ECW returns, they'l put it on Friday nights, scrap Smackdown and put all superstars that are on Smackdown on RAW, thus bringing the WWE back into 1 and back into the attitude era by also bringing back DX.

Finished Echoes last week, my view on the game is that it is not as good as Prime. Prime was just mindblowing, great level designs, great enemies and great graphics. Echoes had great graphics, and there was no real amount of backtracking, like in Prime. But, Echoes was easier to beat than Prime, took me 2 days less time to beat it than Prime. Echoes had good level designs, but the enemies wern't that challenging compared to those in Prime.

What, they still update the stars catalogue. Wish they would update it with decent stuff other than mobile tones and wallpapers, which they seem to do a lot
