    Yeah, I wasn't sure who would take the win between those two!

    To round off the day :)

    Was worried when I saw it had gone up 2 hours ago so thought I would be too late.

    Our fellow ad aficionados didn’t let us down :)

    Morning campers! :)

    Another 5 matches on the way today, and the other 5 tomorrow. Then if everyone wants we can break it for the Easter long long weekend and come back to the last 16 and decide a winner next week?

    No you're right. I even mentioned it yesterday that maybe we'd eventually have a tight tie... we ended up with 1 yesterday.

    I suspect when we get to the last 8 or so it'll get tighter.

    I stand by my earlier opinion that the ESB advert is not a christmas advert so on that basis I'll vote for boots as it is.

    Ah I can appreciate the sentiment behind it, but for me it's just not a christmas advert and I can't see beyond it... understand others feeling differently though & that's perfectly fine too.
