They would probably have survived fine Doug, you just adapt your behaviour to the environment you are in. Social chameleons all!

Possibly true Colin, but who adapts to who. Generally the majority wins out but going by the sentiments expressed here and by club members at the pondside the PC brigade are a vocal, but powerful minority.

This is all too heavy for me I'm off to enjoy a birthday dinner and sevral glasses of vino. Oops, I shouldn't have said that last bit I'll get the health police raiding the place (and with 8 bottles in the cellar I could get life). >:( :'(

Cheers

Don't see many ads these days, V+ lets me fast forward through them.
BBCNews 24 self advertising "We have to be all over the world at the licence payers expense...."

One of the e-sure ads had a cute girl holding up signs, might have got my business with a few more of just her.

Recall a wonderful spoof of those ads - Nicole disappears off, Papa disappears off - later seen cruising the red light district. Only dialogue at the end:

"Nicole!"
"Papa!"

Mr Wom, your advert of the Clio got me thinking of some of the good adverts and one of my favourites is this one, the John West Salmon one, sit back and enjoy this one :)

Good article in the Sunday Mail about the cadburys Gorilla commercial , how it was done etc.

Regards adverts you love to hate how about the Aguafresh toothpaste where they come into the bathroom all dancing away originally done 1987 and then relaunched recently..

we want blue stripes we want white we want red stripes but thats alright! as you can see Aquafresh is all free Aquafresh is all for your family

"Simple" has many connotations. But as I was referring to myself I am a bit baffled by all this. Another description of "simple"! Too PC and a thin skin methinks.

Bryan, I wouldnt be too upset. Remember it always has bearing where you are born e.g. if you were born just on the outskirts of Durham i.e. River Wear - that makes that person a 'Makem or a Takem' - a true Geordie must be born within spitting distance of the River Tyne

and remember a true Geordie is Teflon coated, no insults stick

The other thing is, you know when you have really upset a true Welshman - as he will not serve you or buy you a pint of beer in a Welsh pub - as happened to me - when I worked for 6 weeks at Llyn Brenig near Corwen - I had lodgings in the village of Cerrigydrudien - and in the village there was one hotel and one pub. They refused to serve me a pint of beer until I could pronounce Cerrigydrudien....try that .... & there was no help from the locals. It took me about 2-3 days before I got anywhere near it. The other thing is you never start a singing contest in a Welsh pub - because it must be the way the Welsh are bred as the national Welsh Choir comes out in all of them

I must admit the 6 weeks I was there working, it was one good stay there.

Must go back there, mind it was the first time Ive been locked up for singing in the street, along with 4 other Welshlads, ever heard the Blaydon Races sang in Welsh

Aye

Now you have ME baffled !! You say you were referring to yourself as "simple" but surely not - your other posts often seem to suggest that you are an expert in many things, and now you say that "simple" means too PC and thin skinned. Are you really ??

Come on Bryan - don't get too serious on this forum - a sense of humour is a useful thing. :) :)

Anyway - what have Personal Computers got to do with it ?

When I start getting realy serious i will know I'm dead and gone . I was put on this earth to bulid and sail model boats and that is just what i'm going to do that is other than to go and polish the nice new shinny Volvo that's standing outside my front door ,Oh and the advert I love to hate,,,,,,,,,,,,,, how's about that advert that comes on now and again telling me to apply for pension credit what a joke that is and what about that one with the chap who looks like a sack of waste tied up in the middle with an equaly scruffy girlfriend looking for cheap flights to Barcelona
