Electro dancing eyebrows should be awesome, but they just give me the fear. The exact opposite goes for the Collins/Gorilla combo, strangely.

Maybe it's just me then, does it mean much if the revised version scares me more?

Hmm. I really like that eyebrow ad. Its technically very impressive. I know that its digitally tweaked, but it still looks natural. Plus its a good wee tune.

The gorilla one leaves me unmoved.

Oh, I dunno what that man is thinking or even if he's being incredibly sarcastic, even I like the ad.

The DVLA advert. It doesn't intrigue me as such, but can anybody name the song that plays over it?
Ronnie is victorious, vivacious in victory like a venomous dog. Vile Republicans cease living while the religious retort with rueful rhetoric. These rank thugs resort to violence and swear revenge.

But Ronnie can punch through steel so they lose anyway.

Is anyone else extremely geeky like me and watches old 90s adverts on YouTube occasionally?

I remember them all too well from the first time round.

Although I have watched many from the 80s.

I sometimes get the Premier Points advert song in my head from time to time. It's INCREDIBLY old and done to the tune of "24 hours from Tulsa". Anyone remember it?

Also, does anyone have a copy of the music to The Roxy?

Not as geeky as those who upload them...

A personal favourite are the Lombard Direct ones with the phone.

I was a little surprised I knew all the words...
