Well, I have the hots for Gibbs, but I like the smiley - geek
Tony is brilliantly written, though. I knew guys just like him during my military past.

Regarding the specsavers ad, you can see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUS6En4f87w

On a more serious note, if somebody goes to an optician and has glasses that are as 'wrong' as those, they're entitled to a refund on the eye test and on the glasses. (Been there, done that.) Not that it helps on Christmas Day when you've just flambeed the turkey.

I have a new most hated advert now... that frigging Loriel Men advert with Jack from lost...

In the immortal words of Tim Bisley.... "What a prick!"

I can't quite describe what a rubbish awful advert it is.... needless to say I find Matthew Fox one of the most punchable people on TV.... he is just a twit....

The Nivea skincare for men ad is almost as bad. Several men, all of whom seem to have overslept, use Nivea skincare to make themselves look good before they set of for work (or wherever it is they're going). From personal experience, when a man oversleeps he showers, shaves, scrambles into some clothes, and that's it. Skincare just doesn't happen.

I think you overstate the case. It should read "when a man oversleeps he scrambles into some clothes" ...

"I think you overstate the case. It should read "when a man oversleeps he scrambles into some clothes" ..."

With a lot of Effing and Blinding and begging "Phone the Boss and make an excuse"

At least that's what used to happen in our house

>Skincare just doesn't happen.<

What's the showering about then? smiley - winkeye
You know I don't think I've used a 'skincare' product in my life - except when under orders from the missus - and oddly enough, there's nothing wrong with my skin.
Wonder why that might be. smiley - bigeyes

Are they, is it rereleased or something?

Anyway why shouldn't they, after all D&G are using Blondie's product to sell theirs?

Mainly gay porn from what I see.

The perfume in the (Blondie) ad turns out to be Gucci,
shows how effective it is.smiley - winkeye

Everytime that Davidoff add, with the couple in the boat, comes on, my mum says "I bet he's gay, those types usually are"

There's an advert on at the moment for Russian Standard vodka.

The advert is trying to play on the product's Russian-ness.

The bloke drinking it pours it on to a glass full of ice.

Idiots.

Is it my imagination or does Jason Donovan have a desperate look in his eyes in that Iceland ad?
Reminds me of a hunted and cornered animal.
