Title: Averts we DO like
Post by: sadler on December 17, 2015, 22:07:04 PM
Against the norm. Going for those we do like.

I love the little pony on the Amazon Prime pony. And also Asda advert with Jennifer Rush singing "power of Love". Our song when there are weddings or gatherings. Love it. What is/are yours ?

With you on that Kenkay, I did a search on YouTube to find it, as I thought the music was fabulous.  I'd never heard of the chap.

Glitter & Gold written by Rebecca Ferguson, another great talent from Liverpool.   I also liked the song and I googled it, to get the information.

BTW the song is not too bad, as is the performance.  But is it really just a poor man's version of this musical masterpiece/TV theme, taken from one of the best TV series ever?

Yes, I left but you can take  the girl out of Liverpool, but you will never take Liverpool out of the girl.  ;) :angel:

 UBT quotes "BTW the song is not too bad, as is the performance.  But is it really just a poor man's version of this musical masterpiece/TV theme, taken from one of the best TV series ever"

Just checked it out on youtube. Cannot comment on the TV series but regarding the theme tube I'll take Glitter and Gold by a mile!!

I think when you take the trouble to go online and get details of a great song you have heard, that makes it great and makes the difference.

What have I got to be jealous of? I simply stated a fact that people of talent do leave Liverpool.  From the Beatles through Alexis Sayle and to more recent like Rebecca Ferguson, they get out as fast as they can, rarely if ever return, and certainly not to live.

Best laugh of the lot though Jacqui is your assumption that when. I Was talking about talent, you instantly assumed I was talking about you.... Best laugh of 2015 ;D ;D ;D

There you go, different folks different strokes. Do check out the first series of the TV programme though, truly excellent, and who knows by the series end you may have grown to love the song too.

Easy Kenkay I don't believe anything was being directed at you. I should take a look at JH's rambling nonsense post immediately before KKOB's justifiable enquiry on sobriety of the writer of such claptrap..LMAO

And to show willing, and get back on thread theme. One of my favourite ads was for Canon cameras, with a very young Phil Daniels assisting the Official Wedding photographer, played by the great Bryan Pringle saying...

David Bailey .... Whose David Bailey??

Thinking about, and no prizes, but which other great and funny advert did Bryan Pringle also appear in?

I must admit I had to Google him. Another unsung hero of comedy but better known for some very good dramatic acting.

Yes Stuart had the answer to the other Bryan Pringle ad.  And here it is...

The original advert that I said I liked is also below, but my mistake it was not for Canon but Olympus ... still funny though

Guilty as charged Me Learned Friend, but in mitigation I did try to put it back on track again.  Having said that you could be accused of inciting me to go off thread again.... so we do not hang separately My Friend but hang together   ;)
