I haven't watched that much TV recently but I've just seen it for at least the 12th (twelfth) time this weekend. I can't repeat what I said.

And it was perfectly charming the first time.

Couldn't they have just paid to have Angus Deayton anally reaming a goat or something?

What you talkin' about Willis?

That ad is on far too much. I must now boycott Barclays.

there's another about a pig going to market too, which is similarly annoying after the first time. i think they're trying to be too clever, and they've wasted their money on the ads

In fairness the pig one is loaded with stock exchange language and so I think it's meant to not make sense to the average person. Aren't there bull markets and bear markets? And obviously turnover and turnunder.

I love the part in the new one where he says "Say it I said, like you see it I said".

Weird thing about the latest SLJ advert - the sudden interruption of the bull. I can't decide whether this is a deliberate jolting manoeuvre or a mistake.

― Michael Jones, Monday, 24 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

the bull's mentioned in the other one about the pig. i couldn't work out what it was doing in that one either

― michael, Monday, 24 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

ok, that didn't make any sense and i didn't see Ronan's post.

― michael, Monday, 24 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Can a stock exchange person dissect this please?

If I saw the ad again I'd remember some more stuff probably.

You speak in riddles, Ronan.

and sleeps in widdles (sorry)

I don't think you have to be a 'master of the universe' to work out the stock market refs - 'bear market' etc.

― Andrew L, Monday, 24 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Do you mean to work out that they are stock market refs or to work out what they mean?

If (i)I agree. If (ii) I disagree. If (iii) turn to page 223 and roll a 20 sided die, checking for dexterity.

I learnt everything I know abt 'high' finance from watching 'Wall Street'...

'there's another about a pig going to market too, which is similarly annoying after the first time. '

Obviously a new use of the word 'after' to mean approximately 'during.'
