    I meant in as much as she appears to be popping up on adverts and radio/ TV shows not that she is actually cool.

    Hm, it's a bizarre choice though.

    Another hateful one is the Santander one. They spend 5 minutes saying random words that have nothing to do with banking. It's a muter for me.

    Agreed, they say stuff like "Mum, kind, brother, teacher, friend" or something :confused: WTF does that have to do with banking?

    Not as bad the dubbing on the clearblue 'i'm pregnant' ad. You can tell the hipster idiot only got pregnant because she shacked up with some indie-scum on a one night stand, and most likely to keep her benefit entitlements anyway. She's going to hell anyway for having pre-marital sex so I guess she has God to answer to.

    She's got an engagement or wedding ring on. Anyway, observational humour is not your thing my friend. Take it from me, and the others who have replied to you. As Dirty Harry once said "A good man (or woman really) knows his limitations."

    The Barclays is crap. It's got one of those songs sung in a way so you can't understand the lyrics, and there's a bloke who pop's up and sings "manchestaaaaa" in a dumb way. In fact, when I first saw him I thought he had special needs and it was a bus trip to the seaside.

    Her thing was "funny" poems that relied upon dreadful puns.

    Hey, Pam Ayres has always been cool.

    Ah - with you now :D

    I'm old enough to remember Pam Ayres on 'Opportunity knocks' in the 1970s when the acts on any given show might include contortionists, blind jugglers, precocious kilted 8 year olds singing (quite unhealthy) songs about their mother or indeed, rocking chaired poets.
    All very odd - and quite depressing for semi-pro musicians or comedians who'd 'served their apprenticeship' and struggled through the pub and club scene, only to be beaten by a toothless old wino attempting to play the national anthem on a Stanley crosscut hand saw.

    Anyway, you are of course right Justabloke, she seems to be popping up on ads all over the place at the moment.

    It's an awful song. Love the rest of the description :D

    No, she really hasn't.
    The very most I'll admit to is that she has a talent for using words beyond that....

    Now there's a name I'd expect to pop up on a list of operation Yewtree suspects... Hughie Green.
    something very slimy about him, even as a sprog I always thought "I'll need to wipe my hand after shaking yours Hughie"

    Thanks for that. So basically I've forgotten who she is and need to get on YouTube to see old clips of her.

    I'm not sure the word you're looking for there is "need" :D but yeah you'll probably find her on the 'tube

    The series of ginsters 'feed the man' adverts.

    They're going for that young male bracket by attempting to be funny, a bit like the McCoys adverts, but I find them both cringy. I don't think they work at all.

    The snickers, yorkie and lynx ads do a much better job at this.

    We've all lived with someone who makes as much noise as possible first thing in the morning when others are still sleeping!

    I hate the advert with the two wooden figures in a cuckoo clock bowing to each other and going ' danke shone...bitte schon..'
