I like Vitalite's version; an advert that's considerably better than the product.

ALWAYS a good thing!
Anyone know the full history of lyrics-on-big-cards? I always thought Bob Dylan started it - but then nothing is every new in music, right?
I don't think Desmond Decker made an official video for that recording.

Did anyone else get in on the act before Maxell?

I think this was mentinoed in a thread last year. She also played an Irish woman in Titanic. I found her strangely attractive both in Aliens and T2

This was one of those "factoids" that went round t'internet a few years ago. I admit I was gobsmacked!

I don't recognise her but why is it surpising that an actor should play two different roles? Were they in the same film or something? Like Alec Guinness in Kind Hearts and Coronets

St Patrick was a Scot who was kidnapped and taken to Ireland as a slave.

At least he was 'British', more than can be said for St. Andrew who was Galilean and St. George who was Turkish - !

And St Nicholas was Turkish and had probably never heard of Lapland in his puff! 🤣

St. George who was Turkish - !

So next time you go to a Turkish barber, you can say you're being patriotic - !

I'm Irish, but I still use a Turkish barber as they give a very good standard of haircut and service.
