A confession

[Arch]

Arch I saw him first. Waves a fist in Arch's general direction.

Seriously though, this advert kept me going and smiling through the two months I spent looking after my mum before she passed away. We even looked into getting one. Too expensive though.

Oooh, handbags at dawn! (if either of us had handbags... )

I looked at the MyKeepons too, but they are expensive and they just aren't as cute. The eyes aren't big enough.

I kind of guessed that (apart from Mad Doug) this might be a man/woman split. Mad Doug, that makes you an honourable woman!

The music is also a part of it - the running ad featured Aha, which is even more nostalgic for me.

(Yes, the running ad is a bit weird. But it's a dream sequence, so it's bound to be weird.)

My SON!!! though he is a softy!

I'm not going to tell him that. are you?

Anyway, he's half fish...

...+ the other half's French.

I know, I keep checking!

I'd have thought that someone of your skills could knit one!

There's a flaw in every theory. I hadn't forgotten him, but as he's a little, I put him in a separate category.

I could knit one, but it wouldn't dance.

Arch In Not Much Older Than Me Shock

Thinking about it, I say 42, but in about 3 weeks, I'll be 43....

Scroll down to just below the advert.

Interesting!

The crochet one is too upright, it needs its head at a jaunty angle.

Zingy's head reminds me of an Iced Gem.

 

[Smurfy]

Arch, you now owe me one minute of life for the time I wasted watching that awful commercial!

Suggest you start watching Pingu videos, they're a good deal more entertaining than Zingy.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Stop taking the pi*s Tim!

 

[perplexed]

We got a Zingy cut out from EDF through the post a couple of months ago. He now resides on the fridge, courtesy of a magnet.

Oh, and in our house he's called Mista Boom Boom if you please...
