The distance from earth to the moon is 384,400km.
The distance around the earth is 40,075km.

Sorry, but if you're only looking half a world away, you're still 364,400km short.

I didn't say which world, smartarse

I think it's the most incompetent ad so far.
Grim, yes.
Moving, no.

"The science is annoyingly crap"

Confused

You really must hate most children's books, tv shows, films, games, etc....!

What, TPel and Stratters said.

I don't normally cry/feel sad at JL christmas ads, but this one's got to me a bit.

If she can get balloons to the moon she should be working for NASA.

And I think she is as lonely as he is, seems to be mainly ignored by her family, one hug on Xmas day and that's it, ignored all the rest of the year.

I love most children's books, tv shoes, films, games etc.
But I have a 7yo DS who is going to ask questions about it all, and he will judge them wanting.

Is the song meant to get me hankering for nails and a blackboard? That is all that comes to mind when I hear the song.

Yes Quizteam, this is cleverly disguided B&Q ad Grin

ImABigOleBadLass · 06/11/2015 15:30

It would be fine (perv aspect aside - thanks for that :) ) if they'd chosen another song.

Half a World Away just makes me think of the Royle Family, which makes me shudder and boak... Worst mawkish pile of shite ever on the tv.

Maybe plant some pampas grass. The attention gets off your daughter and he gets the attention he wants!!
