    Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

    Not 1, not 2, but 3 things in it...


    I've just got my handcuffs and my truncheon and that's enough.

    I didn't find it disturbing. But the Cuckoo still haunts me.

    YOU WANT THESE FOR CHRISTMAS EVERY YEAR FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS AT LEAST.

    That was the subliminal message. It worked on me a treat!

    I’m being extremely clever up here and there’s no one to stand around looking impressed! What’s the point in having you all?

    This was a great advert screened up here in Scotland on both tv and the cinema for several years during the 80s, featuring the great track You've Got The Power by Edinburgh band, Win. I've no idea whether you guys actually saw the advert south of the border, but it's one of the best ads ever. Too bad the lager it's advertising wasn't nearly as good as the advert...

    Yep. I remember it well. I even remembered the brand of lager before it appeared on the screen.

    I'm not sure it was that long though, we probably got an edited version.

    Back in 1979 Christmasses were AMAZING. There was so much you could do!

    - Go to a Swingers party and take cheeky polaroid snaps of your neighbours' naughty bits!
    - Go for a saucy holiday on the med!
    - Get pissed up on Guinness and go for a saucy holiday on the med!
    - Clean your toilet!
    - Get pissed with Skagra in the Arctic!

    Just look -

    Harry Seacombe helps Woolworths to celebrate Christmas in 1980, for an advert that more than outstays its welcome.
