    Just imagine that she was watching a lot of The Real Ghostbusters and she picked it up from Egon Spangler.

    Doesn't matter anyway she's probably a smack addict at this stage, you know those showbiz types.

    Don't be getting indignant now when you don't even remember what it was an ad for.

    Meteor ads are brilliant, especially the Granny one that got pulled last year.
