Hate them all. They should ban the lot of them. Bah Humbug!

Hated the version they put out a couple of years ago where there were no trucks in it at all :eek:

Also the Coca-Cola polar bear ads were lovely

the post office add, it think, goes something like "we are walking in the air, we are floating in the moonlit sky, the people far below are sleeping as we flow" always makes me feel like do a snuff film after I see that add

When I see that ad, I always feel like stabbing myself in the eye with a fork. At least that way I can spend Christmas wondering how I will look sporting a comical eye patch, and thinking of all the fancy dress opportunities it will open up for me.

I believe that's what people call empowerment.

I don't mind Christmas ads at Christmas but too soon before Christmas I don't like them as such but I suppose marketing stuff in advance and getting good bargains before the Christmas shopping rush I suppose is a good thing if bad weather prevails around Christmas time good to get all the Christmas stuff bought in advance you don't have to worry about it then. Christmas be more relaxing without having that added worry just relax and enjoy Christmas then.

I was just thinking about this ad the other day. As a recent emigrant, albeit only to the UK, I'll be coming home to Mammy for Christmas this year and I was thinking how I'll be like the lad in that ad!

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised that they brought it back. Recall watching it on Youtube a few years ago, very evocative.

The street scene is Rathdrum Co. Wicklow. The train station looks like it could be one of the Northern line stops, maybe?
