    I'm sittn' on the can, and this GM commercial came on. GM was stating some disturbing things (to me). They mentioned this web site of theirs.

    GM Total Confidence - Assurance You Need | General Motors

    The GM commercial (gee, where'd THE $$ come from to pay for adds? :rolleyes:) states in part:

    * Loose your job, & we'll make 9 months payments for you
    * If our crap aint worth anything upon resell, we'll still pay
    you more than it's worth

    After not hearing about the money being spent to hurry the Volt along, I'm not sure it was the bathroom that smelled.

    Sure Tony, *every* man has a small LCD in the bathroom, so when we're seated we have the option of reading the paper or watching the tube.

    :jaw:

    Don't tell me that YOU don't have a tv in the bathroom? I'm .... speechless. The big bald 800 lb gorilla has been shocked speechless ... are you happy?

    Seeing how Hyundai came out with this type of incentive months ago, why would it be a surprise when others copy it?

    Tony, I still can't believe you don't have a small tv in the bathroom.

    :tsk:

    Don't tell me ... you only use the bathroom for peeing, pooping, or showering?

    Please tell me you at *least* use the bathroom in that correct order ....

    There's a YouTube app and a myriad streaming television options.

    While I draw the line at having a Keurig coffee machine in the can, a small tv is great. If you start working this idea on your wife RIGHT NOW after a year or two she may finally give up and allow you to install the tv

    Razz away ... I got thick skin :p
    Besides, the whole bathroom remodel was not my idea ... (in progress shot)

    [​IMG]



    It was "she who must be obeyed's" idea ... I'm just the one who has to pay for it ... for a long long time :rolleyes: Sheesh ... Tony P took my GM wacky commercial thread on a wild ride. I thought for a moment the post must be in the PCD forum.

    (finished shot . . . watching CSI heh heh)

    Good thing I didn't mention the bitet, or the remote control skylight with rain sensing auto close function (shaking head). Yes, like GM ads, our john is ridiculous (didja like that segway?)

    Well, that's normal, isn't it?

    You took care of that mold while you were remodeling? Right??

    That could be a sign that a person needs more fiber in their diet. On the other hand, it could be a sign that they have *too much* fiber in their diet.

    I put a TV in the bedroom and my wife won't come out of there. She wont let me in the bedroom either. If I put a telly in the bloody toilet I'll have to go to a petrol station to poo. Bugga that!

    I can't believe Tony hasn't got a telly in the dunny though!

    I can never find that happy balance with fiber. The end result is that you spend *way* too much time in the can
