I really love the Brian Cox stuff but without fail I fall asleep 2-3 times per episode 

 

I think it's my brain shutting down trying to comprehend the magnitude of everything 

I thought it was just me.

 

It's frustrating as I like learning and his programmes always teach me something but I think it's the tone of his voice.

They really need to remake a show called the universe which was in history channel years ago. 

 

It provided lots of fascinating stoned viewing when I was younger.

 

It all felt groundbreaking at the time.

There's some pretty awesome content on YouTube these days. Always enjoy @sea_space for Astronomy based stuff.

Why is every single Aftershave / Perfume advert on TV so weird and Avant Garde? 

I posted something similar a while ago, though about a lot of ads in general.

I find some so abstact that I haven't even got a bloody clue what's being advertised - even after several views. :S

Possibly a question to @Izzy, and/or others with a coaching background.

 

Would interview coaching be beneficial for someone who's had 5 interviews since July but with no 'success'?

 

Admittedly, see interviews as a 'weakness' and doesn't bring out the best out of me - in terms of trying too hard etc, how to come across etc.. 

 

Thanks.

Not sure I'd pay for interview coaching as there's so much free resource out there (although I'd probably take the coaching if it was free I suppose)

 

My wife went though the process six months ago and stumbled on this bloke on YT. He's a bit 'in yer face' but has 4.5m subs so suggests he knows his stuff. Everything to help with the whole end to end process is on there and lots of good tips. And if you don't get on with him, there's a number of similar channels on YT offering the same advice:

Do you get a lot of bot accounts signing up to the site? I always notice seemingly totally random, weirdly named accounts appearing in the "newest member" section.

is this something you have to keep tabs on?

I would think because you can't smell the product

Sadly I have some experience in this world. 

 

It's exactly this. It's hard to translate smells to images, so creatives back in the day had use visual methaphors and synaesthesiain the absence of Smellivision. It's more brand awareness and demographic targeting than anything else.  

 

It's also why they spend absolutely inordinate amounts of money on very famous people to front the campaigns. Whether we like it or not, it gets people's attention. 

 

Although I'm sick of seeing Johnny Depp talking shit and fvcking about in the desert on his guitar in the name of Sau(s)age.

Depends on the context 

Thanks.

 

For instance, saw it in the 'Safe Standing at the King Power Stadium' thread earlier.

what happened to the deathwis............ i mean deathlist thread?

It got shut in respect of a tragic incident involving a FT members' family, that got announced in General Chat earlier in the year (I highly assume).
