Thanks for that Dave, I've been wanting to see this year's ad but I'm not a big TV watcher. All that brouhaha last year when he poked fun at vegetarians, and it was just a big stir! People are just S O O precious!

That's funny, but I have to admit I didn't quite get all of it. I wonder if there's an English translation available.

Ha ha! Yes I heard that that's the case!

But you must understand we love our British shows too! When I was younger most of the shows were brittish, because where I lived we only had two channels. One was teh ABC that had a lot of BBC programs. Shows like the Goodies, Danger Mouse, Dr Who, Yes Prime Minister, The Young Ones etc

Well, I have no trouble with the British dialects, thanks to years and years of EastEnders, Last Of The Summer Wine, One Foot In The Grave, Absolutely Fabulous, Waiting For God, Keeping Up Appearances, As Time Goes By, Dr. Who, Chef, Red Dwarf, Take A Letter Mr. Jones, Murder Most Horrid, Open All Hours, Fawlty Towers, To The Manor Born, Upstairs Downstairs, Jeeves and Wooster, My Family, Thin Blue Line, Are You Being Served, The Black Adder, Good Neighbors, Coupling, Yes Minister, Yes Prime Minister, Rosemary and Thyme, Vicar Of Dibley, thousands of episodes of Masterpiece Theater and Mystery, etc., etc., etc.

However, I can't think of even one Aussie show that's shown here. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
