- Just remembered, I have fallen foul of the 'celebrity endorsement,' once ... when I was about 16/17. I lived on TAB for about a year after watching a then unknown Elle McPherson come out of the surf and not do a panicked scramble for her beach towel. First time, last time. And the product worked. I was divinely thin, a bit of my hair fell out from malnutrition but there's always a compromise, right? - Gee
- Don't watch ads but I saw the big photo of Brad Pitt at the perfume counter in David Jones and wondered what he was doing there LOL - Rhoda
- So true Carole/m, and wasn't it nice to know that Gina was in Parliament with all the 'rent-a-crowd' on Thursday night to cheer on Rupert's boy Tony. I wonder if Gina provided the champers for the dinner afterwards to celebrate his "brilliant" speech. Seems the exhilaration ended badly for Peta Credlin. - JoanneH
- Nice try Lynda , just a couple of problems looming for " Ruperts Boy" . He's about to find himself in court with compliments of David Etteridge & if he's got the guts to hold himself to his own standards, he'll have to stand down . Wouldn't want to have his tainted vote in the Parliament would we. Brough , Pyne , Bishop , Hockey and others are about to be investigated regarding the Ashby Conspiracy . So much for corruption . - Carole/m
- I'll have what they're having :) - Jillm
- All that money, but they don't have the sense to look after their bodies. They could afford the best chefs cooking the best foods, personal trainers, and private gyms, but I guess greedy is as greedy does, and extends to over eating. They won't make old bones. - Lucille
- Me too, try my hardest not to buy nestle, still remember the baby formula episode all those years ago. - Antonia
- Couldn't agree more. Has no effect on my spending at all. Nicole Kidman please! - Antonia
- @ Michael Angwin Not against Foreign Investment , Michael, just expect them to pay fair taxes & stop using their Billions to lecture us and to stop using their Billions to overthrow the government that was elected by the people. A small dose of humility , less arrogance and some consideration for those less well off might help . I won't be holding my breath waiting . - Carole/m
- HellB, I sooooooooo agree. If you want to forget about anxiety, a therapeutic option is to watch it with the volume down girls. Pour yourself a Pimms and enjoy. - maria t again
