One of my favourites stars Mr Jekyll himself, James Nesbitt, wildly gesticulating to a bemused hairdresser and begging her to repair the damage he's inflicted to his neice's hair... while her mother watches from outide presuming him to be telling the hairdresser off for doing it.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-31202554431717073052007-07-02T04:22:00.000+02:002007-07-02T04:22:00.000+02:00I have to admit, Steve, I'll do anything to avoid ...I have to admit, Steve, I'll do anything to avoid watching commercials! Dry dishes, make a cuppa, even spend a penny rather than have someone tell me I should spend my money on this or that!!<BR/><BR/>No doubt I miss some very entertaining adverts but there's usually someone to tell me if I should watch one because it's actually a good bit of telly!<BR/><BR/>Come Boxing Day, you could always watch the repeat of "Voyage of the Damned" on BBC Three! Probably won't be as entertaining as the James Bond movie though!!TimeWardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853837867256272087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-88797301237643048912007-06-30T09:18:00.000+02:002007-06-30T09:18:00.000+02:00Actually you've reminded me that I took a pop at t...Actually you've reminded me that I took a pop at the M&S adverts back in December: <A HREF="http://www.pocketropolis.co.uk/blog/labels/DervlaKirwan.html" REL="nofollow" TITLE="Dervla and M & S">http://www.pocketropolis.co.uk/blog/labels/DervlaKirwan.html</A>.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-65737429164148878802007-06-30T09:15:00.000+02:002007-06-30T09:15:00.000+02:00Yes, it's weird.

Total overkill... almost to the point of farce. You just can't talk sensually about lamb joints, parsley and blueberry sorbets. Not without making it sound like a comedy sketch. Personally I blame the script writers and the director!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-37174984904350893892007-06-29T22:27:00.000+02:002007-06-29T22:27:00.000+02:00The TV adverts at the moment that make most want t...The TV adverts at the moment that make most want to kill or physically maim are the M&S food adverts. I have to mute the sound when Dervla Kerwin comes on TV and does her When Harry Met Sally impersonation whilst eating a strawberry.MOTHER OF MANYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02555514242369474271noreply@blogger.com
