    On The Beach TV Ad

    Anyone else who’s listened to this on tv have raised eyebrows at what Paddy McGuiness says in the opening salvo.

    Sounds to me like he’s using the “F’ing”word - obviously not but once heard, never unheard.

    Yes. Sounded like F-ing to me the first time I heard it and it hasn't changed after multiple viewings.
    Seems we're not alone

    It’s funny how he can say “Booking” in the opener, that sound like f#cking,
    But after that reverts to a northern monkey with “book” as in spook…
    W*nker,

    This. Clever marketing. And it’s worked- we’ve remembered the advert.

    But does it? I mean, Would you want to share a hotel (or airport lounge for that matter) with that family?

    Call me a snob but I’d rather pay a bit more and share a holiday with that shouty woman who throws peoples phones into jugs of water.

    I have a strange relationship with Paddy McGuinness.

    At a classic car show in Manchester, he came to the Riley stand and immediately made a beeline for me.
    He insisted that he knew me but couldn't recall from where.
    I told him repeatedly that our paths had never crossed before.
    He wouldn't have it. He was very insistent. In fact he even returned to the stand after he had seen the rest of the show to pursue the matter.
    Once we had ruled out Fifteen-to-One (he didn't watch it, so wouldn't have seen the pilot episode in which I appeared and which ended in chaos) we had no common ground on which a previous encounter could have occurred.
    Nor apparently are TV cameras two-way, so he wouldn't have seen me on the occasions that I watched show in which he appeared.

    So I have parked the incident in my very large folder of Inexplicable Events.

    Recycling a Stan Boardman gag is environmentally friendly, I suppose

    Yup, and those lounges will be utter hell!

    Not a touch on a proper lounge, that is for sure.

    If there isn’t a good lounge for the flight, sometimes business lounge for BA is awful / way over crowded due to points holders, we often just go to waga, order a couple of bottle of bubbles with nibbles, much prefer it to the caviar bars.

    More expensive but with the right table, you’ve got a nice space of your own.

    The advert on the tv didn’t catch my attention, on the radio though this morning at my parents, it did.

    Many others I know agree, a bad ad can turn as many away as attract, McGuiness just doubles it up.

    They are taking me to court next month because I didn't pay their invoice.
    I am confident of winning the case; I have it in writing on their advertising leaflet that the windows will pay for themselves in five years.

    Couldn't agree more sir ,the thought of sharing any sort of space never mind a lounge with that load of fat chav's is enough to put me off even thinking about entering a lounge .

    Could be an open and shut case - if they work that is
