A combination of the booze thread and the music thread have reminded me of this:


Caffreys (ft. a sample of Jump Around by House of Pain)


You'll have to scroll down to find it.


I'm not Irish, nor have ever been to the Emerald Isle but I bloody love a pint of Caffreys, that track and this advert.

Birds eye potato waffles - so waffley versatile


Where on earth dfid the copy writer get off with that one


Almost as good as the old advert for United Chocolate biscuits


"My name is Stan, and I am a Fan, I eat United and I am delighted" ???


Top top advert for me is the White Horses Guinness one (he watches, he waits)


Also love the current car one taht starts "Dad, where do I come from...." and finishes "... that's so cool as Jimmy Jones only comes from Scotland"

I've never met a woman who didn't like that ad, my 3 female housemates loved it, they t5hought it was pretty sexy, even up to the point where they started fantasising about the guy behind the suit...( I did fool one of them, telling them that it was a real gorilla )

Persil are showing adverts marking 100 years at the moment and one of the clips shown is of the young man who wants a clean shirt but it is in the wash so he does it himself and whilst reading the instructions on the persil box he tips it all over the floor and says "Oh mum" in a slightly bemused way


Years since i have seen that advert and brought a smile to my face


Now if only Ben was advertising beef burgers again !!!

I remember a similar


Yes, I remember that ad very well! But for some reason thought it was for Memorex, i.e. the 'is it live or is it Memorex' ads. Unless they had one almost identical...?!

    • Latest news from the sunlit uplands, on the same day the UK economy 'unexpectedly' shrank 0.1%... As an aside, the cognitive dissonance shown by large parts of the UK electorate over Brexit is quite a thing to behold. I don't think it's controversial to say that Brexit is now considered by a large % of the population to have failed, with the % who see it as a success in single figures. Yet, initial polling for the upcoming Runcorn by-election shows Reform winning what is a relatively safe Labour seat. Now I get protest votes and all that, but Reform were literally the Brexit Party before the rebrand. If there's such a large consensus that Brexit failed, why would so many even consider voting for a party that actively helped deliver Brexit and all the known economic damage it would cause? And that's before you even get to the fantasy economics it presented at the last General Election. Labour haven't helped themselves either, by pursuing a nonsensical 'We can make Brexit work' approach, they have in effect made themselves impotent when it comes to attacking Reform and what they stand for...
    • Recommend Dosa n Chutney in Tooting and Rikshaw in Gypsy Hill for dosas.  The latter a few mins away by train from East Dulwich station.  Karnataka has great food but rather a long way to go plus all those carbon air miles.  Reminds me of some American students in London who would take it in turn to fly back to Chicago or somewhere like that to bring pizzas back.   https://dosanchutney.uk/ https://rikshawrestaurant.com/ My word, free reviews without having to sign up and pay for my food blog.  Crispy Dosa is the chain, not that local though.
    • Maybe they would just leave them turned. In a world gone suddenly mad, it makes many individuals feel better to think they have made some protest, however small, even if they know that it makes no difference at all in the great scheme of things. Surely that's better than just blind (sorry I can't think of a better word) acceptance  of  whatever dreadful things are going on, or turning a blind (sorry again) eye. History shows us where that has led in the past. And in the case of the Tesla sellers and non purchasers, it has actually significantly affected things, albeit not the political things which matter.
