You know what, I was thinking only yesterday how sad it was that a fantastic pop group are reduced to being the OXO family or whatever it is.

Leave advertising to experts like the Honey Monster, Jolly Green Giant and Captain Birdseye R.I.P. Our house is such a gorgeous song too (although to be fair, I've heard it before on furniture ads, I think).

I could imagine Neil replacing Stephen Fry in those Twinings ads, but that's about it.

Madness have never been afraid to whore themseves to the ad-man. They used "Baggy Trousers" to advertise Colgate Blue Minty Gel in the 80s, and the eponymous "Madness" to advertise Sekonda watches in the 90s , too.

Designer labels, which he has been doing, albeit inadvertently, for the past 23 years.

What kind of forum is this where Captain Birdseye gets an RIP thread, while Arthur C Clarke and Anthony Minghella don't...
