I had a girlfriend who had a rabbit called Buggsie, he would drink one's tea, when he couldn't get his nose into the mug, he would knock over the mug and lap it up off the carpet
He was rescued when he was in a bad way, and I was told that stealing food is a thing for rescued animals - probably not just rabbits. However when a - supposedly vegetarian - rabbit has climbed his way up onto the dining table and is ripping the skin off a chicken leg and troughing it down before you can stop him - you do start to wonder if you are a bad owner. He also goes mad if we eat "meaty" crisps - he starts sniffing the air, then jumps up onto your lap and tries to stick his head in the bag. |

So awful, words cant describe it. It makes it look like the mens prostate cancer is a trivial thing. |

Back in late 1999 Channel 4 wanted to make a special programme celebrating the 'Top 100 TV adverts of the 20th Century'. So Channel 4 commissioned a poll of some of the top UK ad men (executives, directors, writers, song/jingle writers ect) that would be used to come up with the collective Top 100 Uk ads of all time.
The next step was to take this list of Top 100 ads and let the British Public vote for the most popular. In effect the Ad mens top 100 ads, but ranked by the public. At this point Channel 4 got a sponsorship deal for the show with The Times newspaper, so Channel 4 ran the online poll on its website and The Times printed off a 'voting slip' and enclosed it with an edition of the Sunday Time. Come January 2000 the poll closes and Channel 4 starts to edit the show together (in the order that the public has voted). Here is the publics top 5:- 5th - Boddingtons (Melanie Sykes Ice Cream truck) - first aired July 1997 4th - Electric Central Heating (Creature Comforts ad) - aired 1988-1991 approx 3rd - Tango (Slappy Orange Man) - first aired 1992 2nd - Cadbury's Smash (The Smash Martians) - first aired 1973 1st - Guinness (Horses & Surfers) - first aired in May 1999 Therefore the greatest advert, as voted by the British Public (voting was between November 1999 & January 2000) was one that was aired within the last 6 months. Now the Guinness 'Horses & Surfers' advert is a very good ad, but was it (even at the time) the best UK advert of all time.Personally I would say no and I'm sure the only reason it won the popular vote was because the advert was fresh in people mind. I'm willing to bet that if the show was being made today then the great British public would vote that bloody Meerkat for Compare the Market as number 1 advert of all time. I'm sure most people will be aware of the old Creature Comforts Electricity ads, the old 'You Know when you've been Tango'd' adverts and the old 'For Mash Get Smash' ads. But how many of you can truely remember (without looking up on youtube first) the Mel Sykes Ice-Cream truck ad for Boddington's or the 'Horses & Surfers' ad for Guinness? |

I am now fed up with the Meerkats/Macaulay Culkin; the silly Maltesers woman who can't remember whether she did more than just snog; Vodafone 'YES!!', and the one for whatever it is where they tear up the bills and throw them about causing an awful lot of litter!

I remember the 'o sole mio' version for Boddingtons (That Gladys Althorp, she never buys her own) which excellently spoofed the Cornetto style ads, and the Guinness Horses one just struck me as being weirdly pretentious and I just didn't get it at all.Presumably the lists did feature Carling, Hamlet and Irn Bru near the top, with Flake in the soft-porn subcategory...? |

Interesting that it was the Ad men who came up with the top 100. I imagine it would have been from the professional, artistic point of view rather than how successful the ad was deemed to be.
I recall the memorable and very atmospheric cigarette advert 'You're never alone with a Strand'. It had the actor Terence Brook walking through the empty streets at night, looking lonely and brooding, lighting up a fag, all shot in black and white. By all accounts the sales of Strand took a nose dive because smokers didn't want to be seen as sad loners! Nevertheless, it was a great ad!

Ours steals food, if you dont give him a morsel off your dinner he will jump up and take it.
He was rescued when he was in a bad way, and I was told that stealing food is a thing for rescued animals - probably not just rabbits. . |

Mind you, one false move with that extension and he'll have the dog's head off, which'll mean he'll have to find someone else to play with in the garden - or else he'll have even more time to invent another "must have" product!! Quote:

Three for me today:
1 - The TSB commercial: the one where a mother gives the most half-hearted push on a merry-go-round, then shrugs her shoulders - as if to say, "I can't push any harder" - when the kids understandably look up at her after moving a few inches. 2 - That commercial where that girl is missing one sticker from her album and her father goes to extreme lengths to get it, including considering paying an inflated price on not-eBay for it. Presumably the company who makes the album doesn't have the ability to send off for the stickers you're missing. 3 - The new Carphone Warehouse ad. What the hell did the good people of Dubai do to be inflicted with Keith Lemmon. |

As if wooden football managers and players aren't rich enough, can we perhaps charge less for our phone calls instead of paying a manager thousands to say "Bidily Bong"
