Am currently watching television in Chicago and am so glad Australia basically forbids advertising medicine.

I have seen advertisements for conditions I doubt I could even mention here! The list of potential side effects should put people off but I guess the drug companies reckon they're covered and the money is too good to really care.

I've always found the Germans have the best TV ads ;)
 
Yes but no where near as good as those in the USA.
And today in Luton there is this funny blue stuff above our heads!

Ugh. Reticulated blue water from a plane? ;)

Rome is beautiful today. 18 ° an a clear day. Unfortunately we are stuck on the runway (and have been for at least the last 10 mins) as a punishment for arriving early ;)

Hope yours came with pedals! Probably not a good time to mention cycling is a lot more dangerous than frequent flying.

Probably depends on wether you're riding a motorbike or a ski-do at the time.
