I saw this on TV last night an just thought it was a brialliant advert. It features the England Team and the cast of Little Britian. Sense of Humour and great placement of the Nationwide logo makes for a great advert.

I Know this is a short post but sometimes a picture (in this case a video) is worth a thousand words.

Below is a link to Crystal Swing appearing on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. Crystal Swing seem to have made it in the USA with great PR from appearing on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. They chatted live on the Ellen show about Ireland, their hometown and how they got their start. They even presented Ellen with a bottle of 12 year old Jameson Whiskey with Ellens name on it, before performing the classic Crystal Swing tune “He Drinks Tequila.” and the crappic … sorry, classic show-band tune “the Huccklebuck”. There was of course a great plug for Midleton there also and Failte Ireland must be delighted!

The video is a little jumpy in places…

Below is the original video from the St. Patricks Day, Ellen DeGeneres Show vowed to get them on the Ellen Show. I’m not sure about the stats near the end of the video where Ireland is quoted to have 6m people.

Sky Sports Chris Kamara misses a sending off at Portsmouth on 3/4/10. This is an excellent video and really worth watching. Chris Kamara seems to think they were making a substitution and is totally flummuxed when they tell him that he missed the sending off. The first 25 seconds are just class!
(Many Thanks to Greg for telling me about this!!)
Enjoy!

Deservedly Joe McElderry has won the Final of the X-factor. With over 10 million votes cast, Joe McElderry won the closest X-factor in recent years. I think he had the better voice … with Stacey and Lucy not far behind.

Joe was much better as a performer , had a better voice and a better choice of songs.

It would be interesting to see who would have won the X-Factor if it was between Joe and Stacey? I also think Lucy should have been in the final 4 and was kicked out of the X-factor way too early!

Joe McElderry’s first single will be a cover of “The Climb” by Miley Cyrus which was a hit song from the Hannah Montana movie.

Next up Britian’s Got Talent !

The two people who are almost as hated as Theirry Henry, namely John and Edward, have at last been voted off the X-Factor. They just could not sing – however Daniel was very flat during this week and also his performance of the Aerosmith song, Don’t want to miss a thing and is luck that he made it through. It was a singing competition after all and they really could not sing.

Back to the “France are Cheating Bastards and Ireland were denied by anti-Fair Play FIFA” controversy.
