 Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2003 2:40 pm Post subject: Those pesky Morrisons ads |
 |
|
Has anyone else in the UK seen or heard the adverts for Morrisons supermarkets? I've been ill so I've spent almost the entire last 3 days on the sofa watching the TV. I almost choked on my dinner last night when I heard Sean Bean advertising reasonably priced half-cucumbers  Is it me or should those sorts of things be held back until after the 9pm watershed?  |

I saw it! Very disturbing moment in which I was about to go to college for the day and suddenly up comes this advert for Morrison's nappies. With Sean Bean. 
It was one of those moments in which worlds collided...

| Would someone mind explaining a bit for those of us on the left side of the Atlantic? |

Oops sorry. Morrisons is a supermarket chain in the UK, mostly confined to the north of England I think and Sean Bean is doing the voice overs for their current advert campaign. It's all about reasons to shop there, better prices half-cucumbers and really good nappies being two of them.
Just to confuse things further - Hathor have you seen the trailers on ITV for Henry VIII this weekend? Sean's in the that too, but we've not managed to work out who yet. |

He's playing a guy called "Robert".
Ouch, that hurts!

Sean Bean is in Henry VIII? Kickarse. I have to watch that for homework (I study Tudor and Stuary history in college atm) so I will most definately keep an eye out. Two eyes, if I can spare them. 
(... but I've never heard of the bloke he's playing. Shame, really...)

And yummy pictures. Ooh, I like the beard ...
But, again, I find myself on the wrong side of the Atlantic, unable to view the program itself.
But then again, I'm just guessing that SB may come to DC, filming "National Treasure." May have to stalk ...
(sorry for the OT ramble). |

GGGAAAAAAH!
I sat through the whole thing for two, painful hours, biting my tongue as they massacred the character of Anne Boleyn, as Henry VIII spoke fluent Cockney, and NO SEAN BEAN! Not until next week! 
Which means I have to sit through another two hours of it. The things I do for my fandom and My Quest to see the cast members in as many different roles as possible...

If it's really that god-awful, may I make a suggestion? I often video-tape programs that have limited interest (Survivor, e.g.) and watch them with the fast-forward button firmly under thumb. That way you can watch only what you want. Just a thought. |

That is the plan for next weeks installment. I was still in shock along the lines of "The Accent! The pain!" last time I posted, and the brain wasn't working too brilliantly...
Well. Worse than it usually does, anyway.
