      My initials are WD. That's my 40th birthday party invitations sorted.

          I am fairly sure it's a fake. I think it must be, because the product is WD-40 with a hyphen.

            two months after starting with Diet Chef, Cheryl meets her former self

            That's some freaky shit right there. What kind of E numbers are they putting in that stuff?

            Also, hope Lidl bring that vacant arse Scharna to the abbatoir to complete the whole tour.

              Has anyone mentioned the Club Wembley adverts on the sidebar?

                It's a pleasant enough logo. But surely relying on blind curiosity for my click is a proven bad strategy.

                  I keep wondering why a stylised Roundhead helmet crops up there. Are they suggesting that the team which plays at Wembley are plodding, dreary, fun hating puritans? Or that they hate the monarchy?

                    To paraphrase John Peel, a crap advert from the 70s evokes its period more vividly than a great film. If want to know how ghastly the 80s was, check out the adverts as well as the Spandau Ballet videos.
                    I have occasion to show a channel 4 docu about May 68 which was broadcast in '88. It's now a dvd copy of the VHS original, but the ads are still there. Whenever I show it, the students squeal delightedly at the ads and insist I show them in full rather than FF through them.

                    Rumbelow's, Halifax, Bisto, Pedigree Chum....at least one brilliant local car showroom ad (local to the West Mids, where I recorded it, that is) like the ones you got in the cinema- stills, smiling man in suit, voiceover- 'Make it Jack Wilson for your new Ford!'

                      Current Vanarama ad gets on my tits: Essex-white-van 'characters' and the tune to which the Ingerlund knuckleheads sing 'No Surrender' being whistled jauntily in the background.

                      Am I not their demographic?

                        It used to be confined to TalkShite, that ad. The station of Alan Brazil and any other number of dodgy cockwits.
                        It's so boorish it'd make Keith Allen wince.

                          What's their angle? Would you not just go to the respective dealership of the van you wish to buy/lease?

                            Yeah, the Vanarama ad calls to mind that dismal (but much-recalled) stereotyping Bird's Eye Dalesteak commercial with the "we 'o-ope it's chips, it's chips!" pay-off jingle.

                            But that at least had the excuse of having been made in the seventies.

                              Speak to West Midlanders of a certain age and they'll nod with a slight nostalgic remembrance of the words 'Don Amott, King of Caravans' or 'Beer at home means Davenports'. Ah, cheap, cheerful, no-frills reminders of a simple age.

                                      Leave it, leave it to Lee, exceptiona-Lee Longlands.

                                      Don Amott is still alive and kicking: he sponsors one of the stands at Championship newbies Burton Albion.

                                          Funny. I can't give you an impromptu rendition of any popular rock or pop song, but I didn't have to Google the above at all.
