Has anyone seen the new advert for 'Yorkie bars'?
For those who have seen it just skip the next section. I shall describe it so as not to alienate those who havn't seen it yet.
Basically this girl walks into a newsagents, walks up to the counter and asks for a 'Yorkie'
Newsagent- 'are you a bird'?
Girl- 'no'
Newsagent- 'explain the offside rule'
The girl then goes on to explain said rule perfectly.
The newsagent then hands the girl a jar and the girl effortlessly unskrews the top.
The newsagent then leans toward the girl and asks, 'stockings or tights'?
Girl-'Phworr stockings'
The newsagent then quickly produces a plastic spider from behind the desk and shouts,
'Ahhhh, Big hairy spider!'
The girl doesn't batter an eyelid. So the newsagent gives her a 'Yorkie' with the comment,
'The wrapping really shows off your beautiful eyes'
Girl- 'why thank you'
At that moment the newsagent snatches the bar back from her and the game is up.
Then the rough Cockney voice-over says
'Yorkie'. 'It's not for girls'.
I would just like to say on behalf of the male population that I love that advert. Not for the cleverness, or comic value of the ad, but for what it stands for.
Gone are the days of the early Nineties 'New man'. The 'getting in touch with your feminine side' and 'political correctness'. Hopefuly this ad will herald a new age of blokedom.
A world where we will be able to say,
'actually, I was thinking about going to the pub with the lads, is that o.k?' Without getting 'the Look'.
A world where watching football isn't a crime and gaseous emissions are not frowned upon.
Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't want to stray into the realms of sexism. I just want to keep the things that make us men.
After all. I wouldn't expect women to stop playing with their hair and going to the toilet in pairs.

This is usually associated with the data directory being wrong (disconnected network drive for instance) or it is the first installation.
Click on the button that says CONTROL
This will bring up a numeric question. This is different from the installation question.
Take this number away from a number of the same length but filled with 9's.
So if the number was 76475353 then take this away from 99999999 giving 23524646. This in the answer.
You can now add new users.
If they now need to connect to a network drive choose Utilities and Change Data directory.

Argh, I've got that Taggart bloke's voice saying "muhdur" over and over in my head...
But it's a great ad. That Honda ad is a bit... poncy, though. Nice idea, but carried out by an eleven year old intellect, it seems.
Could have been a lot better. Nice to see stuff like that though.

But his thick accent makes it sound like 'bud', which would rhyme with the first part of the way they say "murder" on Taggart.
"Thes been a muddu"

That ad is brilliant!
I'd like to see the girl without the 'tache and workman's clothes - she seems quite nice!

Hellooooooooo.
The funny thing is, I bet sales of Yorkie bars to women will increase, as birds go "Hurumph" and try to buy one to spite men.
