Imagine the scene...

Five men in grey suits sitting around the boardroom table...

Man 1: "We have to think of a new name for the comedy channel."
Man 2: "How about 'The Comedy Channel?'"
Man 3: "No, that's much too obvious...It should be something funny."
Dave: "What's the funniest name you can think of?"
Man 5: "Dave."
They all fall about laughing.
Dave: "What's so funny about that?"
They all fall about laughing some more.

OK, so maybe that's not how it happened. But then again, maybe it is.

Perfect timing

What's today? Boxing Day.

So what does clever Kit-Kat do?

An animated TV ad with Father Christmas putting his feet up to match their slogan: 'Have a break, have a Kit-Kat.'

Yum, yum. Time for some chocolate...

Can anyone explain this to me?

The new Lurpak poster has the headline 'Leftovers' in the centre, with the sub-heading 'We call them ingredients', and pictures of Christmas food around the edges, including a half-used pack of butter.

I'm an intelligent woman, but I just don't get it.

Real or not real

The Garnier Nutrisse TV ads feature Davina McCall talking to her mum.

According to the gossip mags, it's not directed at her biological mum (they don't talk any more), but at the 'mum' who raised her.

What's more, the caption shows that 'Davina is styled with some natural hair extensions'.

Just goes to show, you can't believe everything you see!

The same goes for coloured hair (like mine).

Normal service has been resumed

Regular readers will have noticed it's been a bit quiet here for the last few days. That's because I've been away scuba diving in Sharm El-Sheikh.

I had a great time (thanks for asking), and couldn't help noticing the surprising number of inflatable Santas, decorated Christmas trees and flashing 'happy new year' signs all over the place.

Fancy a Muslim country changing the appearance of its tourist towns to celebrate a Christian festival!

What a great advert for their visitors.
