    Bud is a classic. Wins this one for me.

    This is tough, both classics, though will go with Bear & Hare as it was JL at its peak with a great song too.

    A quick 4-0 lead here, any sign of a comeback or will we have another one sided affair?

    Assume the quarter finals will be left until tomorrow now?

    Semi finals & Final on Friday then to close out the week?

    While Denny's ad is adorable and very well done, I have to go with Pennys.

    Penneys all the way on this one.

    Never really took to that Denny's ad to be honest, it came out during the boom and it's got a real Celtic Tiger feel off it, something about it I can't take to.
