All these "beers" are pish water. Tennents, Carling, Bud, Heinekin etc. I wouldn't drink them if they were giving them away free.
The only other thing I've seen (or heard) him in was State of Play and I can't remember what he sounded like. His brother Robert's an actor as well.
Gene's Manc accent is pretty spot-on really, but as an expert, I did notice it slip every now and then. Great show though, I just wish he hadn't have been a City fan!
Some of the WKD adverts have made me laugh,although I will never be able to take seeing a man holding a bottle seriously whether it be on an advert or in a pub/club. Infact scrap that.... I refuse to even put the stuff in the 'beer' catogery!!!
That's because it isn't a beer. It is yet another alcopop drank exclusively by chavs/scallies/knackers
I take it your signature is a Gene Hunt quote, going by the av pic? It certainly sounds like one! Also, did you know Gene Hunt was so named as the writers wanted his name to be Cockney Rhyming slang for, well, I'm sure you can guess what for!
You're right. I did have Gunnery Sergean Hartman from Full Metal Jacket, and one of his quotes as my sig, until sword pointed out that he looked a bit Jeremy Clarkson-y in my pic. But I prefer the Hunt one anyway. I didn't know that about the rhyming slang, but I suppose it stands to reason. He was a bit of a **** at times!
