ROFL at Maud!

That song came on in a shop the other week and I said exactly the same thing to Miss Spiro!

::distrait::

Sorry, LadyD. My thoughts are still with Freddie.

Don't stop me now, cause I'm having a good time.

LG Optimus 3D ad has just come on telly - if you see it have a good listen and see if you also think it's The Man.

It's not my imagination is it?

Yup, definitely him. Didn't need a good listen, the first 2 words did it for me .

Definitely him Spiro.

Not if you judge by the comment underneath it, Spiro {grin]

Evening all

Thought so - I'll name that TDHCMO in 1!!!

Just seen that Massive - ROFL!!!

I have to say though, I'm not overly keen on his 'advert voice'. It's a bit growly (and not in a good, Gizzy way) and harsh for my liking. He used the same one for the Sky ads recently and it makes me what to shout "Talk properly!" at the TV .

I'm just fascinated by the fact he can change his voice so much depending on what he's doing. I know what you mean about this one, but I quite like the Sky Sports voiceover (apart from the fact it is Sky Sports and that needs no advertising in this house )

The fan site claims it as one of his.

::Rarely watch commercial tv and therefore clueless emoticon::

I suppose it is just a voice for the job, in the same way as all his characters' and it is impressive how many 'voices' he has. I just like his softer, slightly northern lilt.

The way he says "technologee" is a bit of a giveaway. I notice him doing that with words of with" -y" ending.

If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall]]

::Arranges cushions on the floor for Spiro, just in case::

Oh , send in the men with the white coats. I just 'heard' him saying it

Were the cushions for 'Telephone' or for 'Rude Boy' which came up straight afterwards, Maud?

Either way - thanks v. much, I needed that this evening.

ROFL @ Massive's ad and follow up.

I imagine it would take a LOT of takes for him to get the inflection just right too.

I envision them as little individual ones, with maybe some fruit or something in addition to the normal jam and custard.

They were for Telephone, which has several shots of Lucas in dens of iniquity with scantily-dressed ::ahem:: ladies.

::shocked at the mere mention of Rude Boy, to which she would never post a link emoticon::

Eat your heart out, Mr Kipling.

Yes, eat your heart out, Mr Kipling.

They sound yummy, Massive. Perhaps a peach along with the jam and custard?

::heroically resists posting illustrations::

Are you watching the prog about the Regency, LadyD?
