Oysterboy Jun 2013 10:47pm, 3 Jun 2013 6,516 posts	Quote Pin Oysterboy Those twatty students on the BT advert make me want to smash the TV. Why do BT make such shitty adverts? More so than any other company. "Oh I want to change my broadband provider. Maybe I'll chose the most expensive one with the worst adverts known to man!"
