Wishlists

Feeling generous and don't want to give me cash? Then buy me some shit!

  • T-shirt Hell - NOTE Please check current import duty restrictions for sending stuff to the UK. Order too many and the bastards will charge me!
  • Amazon UK - mainly books, but some other stuff, too.
  • ThinkGeek - got to love weird geeky stuff. Again, please note import restrictions - and the postage from here is ridiculous.

Best xmas advert

Tommy Cooper

The legacy lives on... with LEGO

I don’t want much television these days, certainly not much “live” stuff preferring to download and watch later, but I have seen the following advert a couple of times. I recognised it as soon as I saw it from sometime many, many years ago. It’s for LEGO and features the voice of the sadly-missed Tommy Cooper.

It’s actually the second old advert I’ve seen being rejuvenated. There’s one with John Cleese for a watch company. That one, though, is wrapped with some up-to-date footage and quotes. The LEGO one is simply the original advert, unaltered.

Except for the prices at the end.
