A confession

[Arch]

So, I'm 42. I'm a reasonably independent modern woman. I like machines, and oily stuff, and although I'll go Awwww at a kitten, I'm not what most people would call soppy.

So why am I utterly besotted with Zingy, from the EDF adverts?

OMG! A zingy smiley would be fab!

I suspect it's because you used to eat Angel Delight as a child. There's probably no cure.

My son bursts into giggles whenever he sees the ad and calls us to see it. His sisters like watching him watching it. And he wants one!!

You are not alone in this Arch. It is very when he is sitting all alone on the back of the sofa.

He is a very useful sort though. He does the vacuuming and the ironing, the laundry and makes smoothies. He is not so good at playing Scalextric.

He also has a good sense of rhythm. An all round sort of guy!

Don't you just want it to fall into that blender?

But then it's ok, because he's happy outside dancing in the birdbath!

A bit like this

It helps that they've got him dancing to cool music.

A bit of googling found MyKeepon on which he's based, and which is apparently developed from a device designed to help autistic children learn about expression and feelings - it reacts to being touched, and to noise. But it's not nearly as cute as Zingy! It's the big eyes....

I ever see one I'll let you know. Right line of work at present.

Cheers!

It might almost be enough for me to switch supplier, if they gave them away. And I haven't been arsed to even think about doing that in the 6 years or so I've been here!

I can't stand the ad, or the Zingy thing in it.

I saw, or rather took notice of an EDF ad on TV this evening. The one with a load of skinny women dressed like athletes all setting of as if in a race, sort of, jerky stylised run etc etc.......you know the one.

It had that Zingy in it. I watched the ad and asked my better half................'What the f*** was that all about?

A bunch of women pretending to run, dressed in yellow with huge gold lame bows attached to them, with what looks like a mis-shapen pink penis running about...................I mean...duh????

I know.I know..Olympics, races, gold medals all that stuff....................but the ad is about as far removed from anything remotely in this world as to be all but useless.

I now know (thanks Arch) that the odd phallic thing is called Zingy. I'll sleep better for knowing that I'm sure.
