Watching the island just now and had a spine chilling moment when zoned out during the adverts then a ronseal ad addressed me by my name. That was completely unexpected and very creepy. You who read this are lucky as you now have had some warning.
Is your name James? It says James every time.
Ahh Phew thats a relief, thought it knew it because 4od has to be signed in to to watch. Another funny thing is my fences do need painting 🙂 Thought the future was here already.
You didn't put your real name into 4od did you? If I got an advert calling me what I typed in I might just wet myself!
I always put daft names into these things - handy when you want to know which shyster firm has sold your details on. I got a call once from an Asian gentleman wanting to know if Mr Loveflaps was available and if I minded if he called me Cunny. Made my day.
To be honest i cant remember if i used my real name it was so long ago i registered. As P-jay says it says James every time. good tip there about using random names. Just thoght maybe that ronseal add was contrived to have this effect to get some stealth forum marketing from people called James. Damm you ronseal my every move is being watched and controlled by you. Now where is that tin foil.

If thats the case its bloody creepy and i want it to stop. Cuprinol it is then P jay being clever there having looked at my stw forum profile.
Either creepy or not thought through. I signed up using the cat's name. If it motivates the cat to go out and paint the fence then I'm happy.
Your real name isn't Ron Seal is it?

I can picture the demo' now - "that's fantastic it does show my name....now where do we sign up" (said James)
It's coming...
Funnily enough, I'm sure I've read recently about ideas for pre-crime policing via algorithm...
Weird story James.

All they need to do now is automatically analyse your house from Google streetview to make disparaging comments about the state of your lawn and fence.
Bit like a computerised version of STW.
The laughs from these replies have dissipated the small unpleasant surprise many time over cheers
A few years ago my mate's girlfriend was convinced that one of the new channels that had appeared on his telly was customised based on his viewing habits. To be fair, he did like re-runs of Top Gear and QI, and he is called Dave.
