    The street scene is Rathdrum Co. Wicklow.

    That's a serious eye. I thought it'd be somewhere mad like Roscommon, not down the road from me.

    Anyone remember an ad from (I think) the same era for butter, had children running through fields, with Paul Brady's "Follow On" for music? Doesn't seem to be on Youtube. (The same song was played over footage of Clinton's visit to Ireland by RTÉ news back in 1998. Yeah I know, I've a tendency to remember fairly random, unimportant things).

    It's just lazy 30-something advertisers remembering shít from when they were kids, hence Henry Hippo and all that other crap from 20 odd years ago is recycled. Lazy besterds.

    Nothing wrong with a bit of nostalgia in my book... Besides, it could be worse, they could have come up with Jedward turning on the Christmas lights or something.

    It is, you can imagine the arguments and fighting that christmas when he brought Tarquin around for dinner, so depressing.

    I thought I was the only one with a prejudice against 30 somethings. I'll be cool when I'm 30...I hope :(

    The da's probably pissed off at the son because of his Tv3 career and 'alternative' lifestyle.
    She looks way too old to have spawned in the preceding two decades.
    Crappy electric hob in a gaf like that? I don't think so.

    Howzit depressing? It's lovely.

    It's depressing when you have no proper home to go to like the ***** in the ad.
    The song is a major downer.
    Also, when Alan eventually comes out to the old pair, you know they'll make strange with him and things will never quite be the same.
