John Lewis Christmas Advert

[Borisismyhousespider]

Well thanks John Lewis, you may have just bust the Santa Myth in our house with you're advert (in the X-Factor break) with Parents sneaking about the house, whilst the kids watch the TV and then stuffing things in the loft our 7 year old was looking at us quite oddly after that.....thankfully the 4 year old was more interested in the kid hanging up a stocking for the dog.......

I've just watched it, it's only one scene really of mum and dad sneaking a gift in. I don't actually think ds would twig but then maybe he's simples

Actually think it's a bit pants

Yes Boris, really! DH and I were Pissing ourselves laughing and made lots of "godfather" jokes. We did wonder how it would arrive from JL....perhaps in its own little horsebox?!

There's a rotund bloke with a beard stuck inside my chimney. Strangely I don't mind. Keeps the draught out.

any widdle doggies shivering on doorstep?

Not yet, but could do with a draught excluder for the front door too, a widdle doggy would be just the right size...

Ok, derailing thread now. Sorry.

lol,stretch that dachshund.pull those legs

It's a bloody depressing ad too! All that about "I may not be rich!" bugger that! Christmas is the time to pretend you're loaded!

Lottery I can just hear you explaining to the RSPCA how the John Lewis Ad Thread on MNet ended up with you using the dog as a draught excluder

Yes, I do seem to have gone full circle, from crying at the dog in the snow to "rescuing" him and putting him to work as a draught excluder.

Did everyone in that ad go into JL and buy the display model or something? NOthings boxed. Hope they got a bit of discount

i have to fight to get my dogs IN from the cold and wet. I dread to think what they will be like when it snows! i think they'll be out more often than the kids!

my dog is a JRTX, when we bought him he was living in a shed on a farm. he was a proper outdoor dog. now he reuses to go out if its raining. think we have softened him a bit...

Mine won't even go in the garden to pee when it's raining, but they do think the snow is very exciting. God, perhaps it would be cruel of me not to leave them out in the snow at Christmas.

well potty train yer dawgs then.embossed doggie do-do trays

From JL?

nah,overpriced crap catcher,has to be lakeland plastics

oh, hes potty trained. he just cant wait to get back in

Actually one of them peed on a houseplant at MIL's last Christmas. I could just invest in a few yuccas for their peeing convenience...
