Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Manuel,

Not, when is supports my cause!

Aldi has re-entered the war of the Christmas ads with a cheeky take on the John Lewis Man on the Moon tearjerker.

Jean Jones, the pensioner with a penchant for Aldi gin who first appeared on screens in 2011, returns as the "Christmas friend" to cheer up a lonely old man on the moon who bears a striking resemblance to the star of the John Lewis ad.


Aldi's man in the moon comparing telescope prices

The ad opens with the gentleman comparing the price of telescopes at John Lewis and Aldi, before he is cheered even more by the sight of Jean flying across the sky in an armchair held aloft by a bunch of balloons.

Jonathan Neale, joint managing director of corporate buying at Aldi, said: "Jean quickly became a national treasure for her love of our Oliver Cromwell London Dry Gin when she first appeared on screens in 2011. ("My husband likes this tea and he also likes this tea. I don't like tea. I like Gin.")

"We're confident our customers will be excited by her return this Christmas."

The full two-minute John Lewis ad, featuring the story of a young girl named Lily striking up a connection with an elderly man living alone on the moon, had been watched around 5.9 million times within the first 24 hours of it appearing on YouTube earlier this month.

Aldi's offering, which is set to My Favourite Things from The Sound Of Music - recorded by up-and-coming British artist Jade Williams, was watched just under 7,000 times in the 14 hours after it was uploaded.

The new Aldi ad kicked off on TV screens last night.

if assad must be removed because of is policies then why are we not going to remove the biggest tyrant on the plant a real evil regime Saudi

apart from the more obvious reasons, if you depose the current saudi regime, you could easily end up with something far more radical, controlled by the wahhabi

cynic the king is evil a thousand times worse than assad

yet Cameron and the royals seat and eat with the scumbag
he drinks along with is family yet the peasants can not he speaks with a false lying tongue the best wine money can buy for him

H/S whats the cut in your "Con" Party in post 65362?

Stan,

Just another donation, or commercial bribe or two from the Cayman Isles with perhaps a few exiles in Austria etc. throwing a bob or two into their kitty.

Everyday arse l.

I am sure you will be pleased to know that the cuts do not involve the government in power. That's nice, isn't it.

Well well.. now there's a surprise.

Osborne played a blinder yesterday ,i bet even Fred is bleating on about how great he is today .

.. Oh I nearly forgot.

Labour introduced 'short money' and raised it excessively when they were last in power. It is just being cut back to a sensible level.

James your turrets seems to be getting worst.

That Clarke's a proper slag Stan !! ...

What turrets Stan ? I live in a normal house..
