Actually, I'm fully aware that I'm being U. There's just something about "sexy" oap Twiggy dancing in her granny jeans that makes my bile duct twitch. Also, Lisa Snowdon, very annoying.

I'm putting it down to PMT but I just turned the television off in a huff as soon as that advert came on.

Twiggy is so named because she is wooden

AWFUL - unwatchable

no smile behind the eyes

brimfull · 05/04/2010 23:07

I love the song and actually I like the advert and the modelly walk.
The denim skirt danni whatshername is wearing is beyond hideous.

brimfull · 05/04/2010 23:08

yes twiggy is awful

outnumbered2to1 · 05/04/2010 23:10

oh thank god i thought it was just me!!! absolutely loathe the M & S adverts to the point of actually throwing remote control at telly when Christmas M & S advert came on simultaneously on 4 channels ( i was flicking between programmes)

bibbitybobbityhat · 05/04/2010 23:11

Yanbu.

I find all M&S advertising deeply irritating. The food ones are just as bad as the fashion ones.

Wasn't so long ago that M&S proudly boasted that they didn't do advertising. Remember?

You're bang on Catherine. I saw Twiggy on television a few months ago and yep, nowt going on behind the eyes. Also her monotone voice irked me more than is reasonable.

M&S adverts are annoying but for some reason the one with Take That in didn't irritate me...

Where is old Myleene, have to be on everything, Klass gone??? Have they dropped her?

cockneydad · 05/04/2010 23:17

YANBU - they get right on my jubblies !

bibbitybobbityhat · 05/04/2010 23:19

Fimbow - gasp! - haven't you heard? Mylene has had another baybee and is taking about 5 minutes off work to regain her figure.

ElleBing · 05/04/2010 23:19

Ye Gods, I forgot about Myleene.

At the risk of sounding like a bitter old cow, there is something deeply offensive about Myleene. Not sure if it's the way that she tries to have us believe that she's "just like us really" Yes, dear. Because life for us is dropping a sprog, then modelling swimwear/designing baby clothes/appearing all over the idiot box grinning like a demented cheshire cat all whilst being able to pay for the best childcare whilst earning £££££££s for very little.

Or it could just be that she is very annoying with her lollypop woman head.

It was the Easter M&S food advert with that dark haired woman saying

It's BECAUSE ..
It's BECAUSE...
It's BECAUSE etc

in such an intensely smarmy way. Nothing was bought from M&S at all, to punish them for tormenting me.

BuzzingNoise · 05/04/2010 23:20

YANBU. They are awful. Twiggy needs to turn it in now. And I just find them too provocative.

MaryMotherOfCheeses · 05/04/2010 23:21

Dunno about the TV ad, haven't seen it but the posters are dull, pedestrian and unappealing.

Twiggy is pulling a weird face for a start.

And the clothes are hideous.

Monty100 · 05/04/2010 23:22

Myleene's too smug for this world.

Twiggy is app very airbrushed on those ads. Hope I look like that when I'm her age. But it does grate that she's so gorgeous.

ElleBing · 05/04/2010 23:24

I don't think that she is that gorgeous, Monty27. I mean, she is clearly attractive but that's all. She's only included in these ads because she's "attractive for her age" which is just patronising.

Fimbow · 05/04/2010 23:24

Bibbity is that true that she has had another baybee? See how much interest I pay to the woman!

j0807bump · 05/04/2010 23:27

so awful that i'm even starting to feel sorry for danni and the way they keep putting things over her teenytiny bump

bibbitybobbityhat · 05/04/2010 23:27

Think so ... or maybe it was just an astonishingly old copy of Woman's Own I was reading at MIL's over the weekend !

ElleBing · 05/04/2010 23:30

No way has Klass had another baby without me knowing of it. That news would have worked its way into my conciousness, no matter how hard I avoid gossip mags.

OP posts:
Fimbow · 05/04/2010 23:35

Nah just googled, still only the one but she would like another as she has a 5 bed house dontcha know!

Did find out that Natasha Kaplinkplonk is expected no 2 though....

Fimbow · 05/04/2010 23:36

*expecting

ElleBing · 05/04/2010 23:38

Fucking heckers! Kaplinkplonk has spawned children? I didn't know androids could reproduce....

I has ruined my favourite song for me. But they kind of make up for it by putting Dannii in that hideous, frumpy denim skirt. That'll teach them.

Fimbow · 05/04/2010 23:39

Lol @ Elle
