The obvious one is that Ford advert; 'doors do not open automatically' - over a shot of doors opening automatically.

Those cosmetic ads where "98% of women agree". The small print below says the sample is something like "124 women out of a sample of 126 surveyed". :roll:

I have a tune in my head. It's an animé theme tune I just heard sampled on a hardcore remix thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yw0stOAodw

It's seriously famous, from less than a year ago... and the title is even in the sample but I can't quite get the words to form clearly enough in my head to read them. So I have 3 blurry words being shouted over and over again in my head until I twig what they are :?

There was fighting. I remember fighting. That doesn't narrow it down a huge amount though :cry:

The price isn't that special when you consider it's going for £230 at WEX and you can claim £30 cashback. If you can claim the £30 on top of the £199 Black Friday price then that would be a bit of a bargain!

The problem for me in this sector is that the Lumix tend to be fancied well. The FZ62 is £220 after cashback, only £20 more expensive than the Canon here and gets reviewed very well.

Also the Finepix HS30 can now be had for £240 (Amazon) Is it worth the extra £40 over the Canon though? IMO, probably yes.

Wikipedia wrote:
The bugle is one of the simplest brass instruments, having no valves or other pitch-altering devices. All pitch control is done by varying the player's embouchure, since the bugle has no other mechanism for controlling pitch. Consequently, the bugle is limited to notes within the harmonic series. See bugle call for scores to standard bugle calls, which all consist of only five notes.

Wikipedia wrote:
The embouchure is the use of facial muscles and the shaping of the lips to the mouthpiece of woodwind instruments or the mouthpiece of the brass instruments.
