    Why would Harry Redknapp think Michael Owen would be a good tipster? Why does Owen call Redknapp gaffer? Why would you contradict the guy you just said knows what's what?

      Gah, marketing people. Aperol has, through the vagaries of fashion and taste, become the popular drink. So of course their marketing department decides to spend money on a TV and campaign.

      Why? Is it just so they can say they've done something.

        The group's CEO is now an Istanbul-born Austrian who was trained in the US and UK and used to be at Proctor and Gamble.

        It is what they do

          Suspension of disbelief.

          The main 'disbelief' being that anyone, let alone Vinnie Jones, still uses Brut.

            Adverts that pretend to be cutting through all that pretentious advertising nonsense are always grating, even before adding Vinnie to the mix.

            I don't wear fragrances but the idea of anyone buying and using Brut in this day and age does seem implausible. The cheap smells in my local pharmacy mostly seem to be David Beckham, Beyonce and other celeb lines.

              The San Miguel advert saying "Find your rich" is just crap.

                ...with the possible exception of this from over fifty years ago - which is great.

                  There is currently a Subway ad running all over the chuffing place, here. It features Megan Rapinoe (famed US soccer player) kicking a ball and knocking out burgers and things from people's hands, and saying "Why not have a freshly-made, Subway foot-long instead?"

                  It's fucking annoying, because she is being really fucking smug. "Yeah, Megan, the reason I'm eating this burger, is "fuck off you nosey git", that's why."

                    Judging by what I recall of our local Subway's hygiene standards, it's somewhat debatable how much better that'd be for anyone regardless.

                      This slightly diminishes my regard for Megan Rapinoe rather than making me more likely to hold my nose and go into a Subway. I mean hold my nose literally; their shops smell like vomit.

                        They absolutely stink.

                          All these places carry with them that weird, artificial-bread smell.

                          From recollection, Wimpy's in Canterbury always used to smell of cigarettes, canned chicken soup and damp overcoats.

                                      OK. So, ex-Blossom, and "whatever the fck the comedy with science" was, she's gone full-on vitamins endorsing.

                                      She can now, officially, go fuck herself. Probably.

                                          Also, doesn't it involve a little bit more than surface knowledge about yodelling?

                                            I had glimpsed the Cantona ad on FFWD but finally saw it last night, little did I know it was for Cashley and Sports Direct

                                              That new SumUp advert raised quite a smile here. Fair play to them.

                                                "FC Barcelona players eat them" says a mother to her carrot-resistant daughter in an ad for an exorbitantly priced fridge.

                                                FC Barcelona, as we all call them in conversation.
                                                I wonder if they'll get the better of Real Madrid CF this year, or will Club Atlético de Madrid S.A.D. manage a repeat?

                                                  Keep a weather eye on Real Betis Balompié to potentially put the domesticated feline among the feral stock doves.

                                                    Agreed, however the small lesson in manners at the end is appreciated.
