Are there any pies left that they won’t try and stick their finger into?

Good excuse to post a picture from that Virgin ad currently on telly, eh.

You might’ve already seen the Virgin complaint letter floating around via email, or perhaps you’ve watched this report on the BBC News website. But on the off chance you’ve not seen the letter yet, it’s definitely worth spending 10 minutes of your time reading it. You’ll find it published in full on the Telegraph website, complete with pictures.

It’s custard Richard, custard!

Haven’t laughed so much in ages! Brilliant.

A few days ago, Google changed it once again, so it now looks like this: New Google Favicon

Now is it just me, or does that new Favicon: New Google Favicon remind you of this…?

My vote goes for this one…

(video now fixed)

…the 85588 advert. Now you might want to be very slightly careful here if you’re at work…

Comically bad!!

Little known, sort of related, bonus factoid:
For years I’ve thought these text-chat companies (that advertise around the same time that you’d see the one above) have legions of ugly, hairy legged trollops replying to all their messages, but how things have moved on…
