But what does the pig say about all this? http://metro.co.uk/2015/09/21/david-camerons-pig-has-its-own-twitter-account-naturally-5400984/ This is an interesting read.......Porkback Mountain http://metro.co.uk/2015/09/21/dewsbury-conservatives-have-cancelled-their-pig-racing-event-5401263/
http://www.theguardian.com/media/me...urys-drumming-gorilla-the-best-ad-of-all-time Cadbury's drumming gorilla voted the best ad of all time. I have no real argument with that as I loved it. Now if you want the most irritating ad (in the sense that you can't get it out of your head, which makes it a good advert), nothing beats the Shake-and-Vac ad. Can't totally clear the jingle out of my head...it recurs every time I am reminded of it
It's kind of funny given the fuss made over Milliband's troubles with a dead pig during the election, but he was only eating it, not ****ing it!....
Nonesense, the best ad of all time was for Bundaberg Rum Now if only they could make a decent rum to go with it.
Couldn't stand that Gorilla advert. Just found it contrived nonsense. Certainly didn't get me to buy the product either, which was the idea. The simples Meerkats were another. The idea was fine for about one or two viewings, but then it quickly went downhill. Getting CGI animals to behave like people doesn't win me over. Generally however, I don't like adverts good or bad; they are just a necessary evil. For me they are removing part of the reason why I'm sat in front of the TV. That said, the Guiness Dancing Man was one I did enjoy. However, I think Guiness is another triumph of hype over content and the advert didn't get me to buy it.
Just thinking about it causes teenager-type stirrings in my gentleman's region. I never ever forgot the ad below for Hanson. Despite its length it was on reasonably often and if I heard the music I'd stop and listen to it. Vin
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-34320201 Team England being challenged on their decision that bridge is not a sport. Bridge players are trying to get access to grants. Give us a break. There will always be some fine lines, but there has to be an element of fitness...which is why archery is counted as a sport whereas darts isn't. If bridge is a sport because it challenges the mind, then why not sudoko or crosswords. Whilst I am not proposing it, ballroom dancing is nearer to a sport than any card game.
Just a can of worms...some things may be borderline....for example pairs skating was once considered a sport when ice dance wasn't. The difference between the two was a small difference in rules. Bridge doesn't even come close...they just want access to sports money and to be allowed at the Olympics, but if you allow bridge where do you stop.
If its called the Olympic Games then surely everything we call games should be included. I would be very proud to represent Team GB at Ludo.
Well that opens another can of worms. The Olympics once fielded sports such as poetry, architecture, literature, music, painting, sculpturing, etc...
If people actually want to watch 4 people sitting around a table playing cards, then they have too much time on their hands and would probably be better off playing it instead. Can you imagine applying for Olympic tickets and ending up watching bleeding bridge from 50 yds away as your great day out? I think a desire by normal people to watch something as a spectator event ought to have something to do with the criteria in deciding what is a sport or not, and on that basis then darts, snooker etc might get in but at least they both have mass appeal. If bridge gets classified as a sport, then I'm pushing for rock paper scissors to be included.
Struggling to understand why Wenger divorcing from his wife is considered worthy of the front page... There's no scandal. They've not had a public relationship. (lame) They're not a celebrity couple. (also lame) I can't believe people actually want to read about this ****. It's actually quite sad, in a way.
Well if anyone should know, you should., so if you're against it then something must be amiss. Half of the news that wanders around on a moment by moment basis barely figures in the public interest, in my opinion. The real news honestly doesn't get much of a look-in. Besides, people are told they don't want the real news, so they don't have it. Personally, I couldn't give a gnat's fart what Arsene Wenger [or anyone else of that category] does or doesn't do privately, as long as nobody gets hurt and it's legal. The thing is, some unconnected people do and that's a bit sad.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-34323967 According to a thesaurus of Scots words, there are 421 terms for snow. No wonder Celtic players rush to escape...we don't need to mention wages and conditions, our first words to a player should be 'What's snow?'
Never mind Wengers divorce, i found it very strange this morning to see the above was worthy of a main news item on the BBC News page !
