    I think Christopher Breathnach was the other voiceover - recorded in 1994 (90 seconds). More details here: https://marketing.ie/articles/barrys-tea-trainset-still-on-track-30-years-on/

    Cheers, very interesting read. I hadn't realised it was around that long, I think I first became aware of it around 1999

    Heard way too many ads this morning on my work commute reminding me it's January, I'm not in denial or anything but it will be spotify or YTmusic for the next few days in an attempt to keep my spirits up

    Cut price jewellers where Caitlin says 'since I became a man' she doesn't, she says 'Mam' but it sounds like man.

    There is an ad for An Post Commerce, where the final line is "….just like the zionists do".

    I don't know what he's trying to say, but I doubt it's about zionists.

    Any ideas?

    Michael Bauble “ AS YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE “ ( The most boring singer ever to have breathed on a microphone apart from Daniel O Donnell )

    Since that add first aired I am waiting in great anticipation to find out WHY we have never seen him like this before.

    Has he grown his hair, lost his hair, gained a few kilos, lost a few kilos , grown a few inches, shrunk a few inches, changed gender, changed colour. The possibilities are endless and we can only wait for the big reveal

    and private hospitals are now "networks". That sounds like an import from the US health system, that would chill your bones.

    Have to confess though "Uncle Pore-ick" and "Donay dayal" do make me smile a bit ..

    The lotto ads with the girls stopping in a shop to buy the scratchcards to make the trip more "fun", wtf.

    The go loud podcast ad with the reviews from random people, "mary says it great, patrick says its very interesting etc." Great, thanks

    Are the father and daughter who do the Neesan/Nissan ads the same pair that do the Geneva/Aviva ones?

    Suprised no one has mentioned Feul o Toole, another ad where the accent in the ad and the normal voice at the end is the same person.

    He'd have to pay someone to voice-over then.

    Willow Warm Briquettes ad on the whole time on newstalk.

    Your mans voice is awful for starters.

    Then "these crisp cold winter evenings".

    Nope, we've had practically none.

    I hope that company goes bust and the voiceover guy never works again.

    Isn't that Dermot Bannon?? Or do you mean the "ahhhh, willow warm briquettes" voice? That one grinds my gears also!

    ESB back with that fad from a few years back, a watery, wispy version of a banger (Don't Stop Thinking) with female vocalist with asthma.

    • - Phonewatch: Middle-class lady burglar being addressed as "Trevor" by therapist. WTF?

    - Classical concert: "…music from Back to the Future" *music from Star Wars plays* (Unless I have it wrong?)

    - Flogged out "Future You" concept used in so many ads. Must in Marketing for Dummies or something. With bonus points for the "Past You" spin on it in Alexandra College ad.
