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...?!

    • We like Radha Krishna Bavan, a South Indian restaurant near Tooting Broadway station, but sadly they don't deliver. They have really good lunch deals and the food has been excellent without fail so far, plus too much to eat (doggy bags willingly provided by the lovely staff!) Probably wouldn't make a special journey to go there, but go there quite often for lunch when visiting my niece, who lives in Tooting. Can't remember if they do dosas, though 
    • Yep,  the EU would definitely want cast-iron certainties that there was no chance of Brexit 2.0 before allowing the UK to rejoin. Best we can hope for in the short to medium term  is the UK rejoins the single market. That would at least make Brexit work *better* than it currently does.  But we live in a very volatile world and a lot can happen quickly, who'd thought we be rationally talking about the possibility of  a European Army outside the context of Brexit and its associated hysterics...
    • What I couldn't understand was on the day H&B  opened (or at least the Saturday after it) they had two people standing outside with trays of something round their necks, as if they were selling ice cream at the interval in a 1950s cinema. These things appeared to be free samples of something (can't remember what. Magnesium tablets? From the labels on the little jars?)  There was nothing to say they were free, nothing to say what they might be useful for, and no apparent attempt to engage passers by, or even to hand them out to passers by.  What was the point?! It had the opposite effect on me, as they looked so bored and fed up  We did have a wander round the shop, but the only thing they had which I might have bought ( a particular kind of milled seed which Health Matters don't stock)   I can get cheaper in Waitrose !!! ETA: I only buy their nuts when they are on offer (and freeze them) 🤣
    • If you are referring to me you don't have to pay to read my reviews and I'm not even sure if you have to sign up. If that feels too sinister you can just click on the links as far as I know, but the difference is if you sign up you receive the - free - reviews by email whenever they appear. Quite a useful - free - service I think. I'm not going to spam the EDF every time I run a review, but here's a link to the site as I've run a few new reviews in the last few weeks. https://eatsdulwich.substack.com/
