I broke my duck

I have said many times before how I hate TV advents and how I find them a total waste of time because they never make me want to buy their products. I particularly hate those ads from companies that sell their product on TV only. You have heard the spiel lots of times sounding something like below,

“The Fools Gold maker and only yours for £19.99.

"When you buy the fantastic Fools Gold maker we will also give you for free the Fools Silver maker and if that is not enough you also get FREE the Deluxe Fools Gold maker all for the amazing price of £19.99.”

I play a little game when these ads appear on the TV shouting “What! Only £19.99 I will have two, no make it three”. Stupid I know but they really get my back up and I never thought I would fall for it.

However, the other day it could have been the pain I was in from my leg on hearing the voiceover to the InstaHang Dispenser I was transfix like a rabbit caught in the headlights of a car in the dead of night, splat and one less rabbit in the world. Well the InstaHang was staring me down and I soon found myself wanting one and willing to part with £14.99 plus postage.

I soon found myself searching for the company’s website and clicking away until the checkout button and with one press of the button, it was mine, and within seconds found myself regretting my decision. I had visions of the K-Tel Record Vacuum I was suckered into buying in the early 80s in the hope of keeping my growing record collection in pristine condition; it was crap, had I revisited a failure of my past.

However, I am now the proud owner of an InstaHang Dispenser (unused at the present time) and after opening up the parcel I found there was little excitement from me just a wish it would work when the time came for it to do its duty. The wife is now expecting me to bang up a shed load of picture frames all over the walls while I will consider it as a possibility.
