Hi Guys

I know its been done on here how annoying this ad is but this is a classic.

My wife called to me earlier, "have you seen the new Gillette ad with Henry, Woods and the tennis player, er, er Manuel Fusion" The razor is called Fusion Manual and this comes on the screen as Federer is on, thus meaning(to a non sporting female)that this must be his name.

I have never been as close to wetting myself before in my life. Watch this ad next time its on and you will laugh when you see it.

Thanks to my beloved.

Women! Gotta luv them, Smange.

Reminds me of a wee anecdote Peter Alliss relates in one of his books. Alliss received a letter from a Scottish viewer recounting a similar TV moment with the wife.

Apparently the great one was commentating on the Open when Monty was playing. His playing partner had stiffed his approach shot and Monty had putted up but left it outside his partner's ball.

"....and so, here's Monty about to take his 2nd putt first" says Alliss

"How can he do that? Shouldn't he take his first putt first?" says the viewer's wife, whilst distracted and doing the ironing.

Classic last line of the letter;-

"Ah, Mr Alliss, she's no the brightest....but she's got great tits"

My wife didn't want to go and see LA Confidential because she thought it was a french arthouse movie and she didn't want to have to read subtitles.
True story.

Can't compete with Smange, JF and Atticus but my missus had her first sight of golf at the Spanish PGA in 2006 at my local course. She asked me why Miguel Angel Jimenez couldn't reach the green with his drive on our ninth (540 yards).

Reminds me of when my son was about 10, he called to me saying 'there's golf on telly Dad, 'Where's it coming from?' I said. 'I don't know,' he said, 'but Glen Eagles is playing.'
