Not just Blurays, even conventional DVDs have upfront adverts for contemporary films available to buy. Fortunately you can skip over them, but only one at a time.

what four cups an hour? Do you find your hand is shaking too much to be able to change channels?Originally Posted by Barry
I often watch Sky Art, but don't find the ad breaks too intrusive - I take the opportunity to make a cup of coffee.
You're missing so much - June ('It's June, dad!') getting her funeral plan, the children drinking dirty water, Paul Daniel's widow fogging cupboard doors, and the whip-round to collect money to educate foreigners in how to look after a donkey.
Did I miss any?

Or maybe it's just really cheap to advertise on TV these days? Nobody's watching, three million viewers means a hit show now.

I forgot that bird who does her commercial while she's sat on the bog. FFS love could it not wait? You've only got five lines.

Conkers 2023
Now that the recent wind and rain has caused the horse chestnut pods to fall, as is my wont, I went out to see if I could find any large ones.
Well the only decent-sized one I could find weighed 34.7g:
It beats my previous 2021 find weighing 33.7g:
(Is there a world record for the heaviest conker?)
