YAY that's the one. Something about a diamond ring and a drill too.

The Ford ads with the musicians playing a tune on car parts was clever when I first saw it.

Now that I've seen it four million times it bores and irritates me.

Same. It doesn't help that the tune they play is a dirge.

I was watching a old tape with 'Predator' on, it was obviously on itv because when the adverts started there were a lot of adverts for local news papers!

Watched them all (Seemingly recorded in 1992)
Saw a Carling advert with someone eating everything, eventually eating the camera and a cheesey Pop-Tarts advert.

Cheesy.

Actually it was that ghastly singing advert for Pop Tarts.

Where do you get them now, they look tasty.

Larger Tesco branches carry the strawberry and sometimes chocolate variants...

Hmm, all this talk of Pop Tarts makes me wonder what happened to all those other fabbo flavours. Speaking of cereals, I wasn't aware Start was still being made or that it came back had it gone.
