John Lewis Christmas ad

[vickster]

I'm more shocked that @vickster is clearly an avid X Factor watcher Or is all this just coincidence ?

This is actually the first time I have watched it this year! I am normally out on Saturday but I am under full attack by the snot monster

Well it was cute, but not as good as last years, which had me sobbing every time...

Apparently the smaller John Lewis animal is supposed to be a hare, not a rabbit.

Indeed. Both the hare and the bear already have Twitter accounts...

We stopped buying fireworks years ago. We couldn't compete with the ones over the back. We have a ringside seat to one of the best free non-municipal firework displays in the country.

I once blagged a free coffee from John Lewis by feigning interest in one of their in-store promotions for an espresso machine.

Smash the system lads.

It's definitely the same animation in a kid's book my daughter has - "don't wake the bear" or something like that.

Tbf it's what 7 weeks away Love the adverts but for me it ain't Christmas till the Coca Cola train rolls in to town

If you are lucky, the Coca Cola lorry might come to a supermarket or shopping centre near you in the next few weeks.

Last Christmas, one of their illuminated trucks visited our local Asda, and I took my wife down to see it, as a little surprise. (She is like an overgrown kid when it comes to anything to do with Christmas.) Honestly, you would think I had given her the world.......

Is it me or does Christmas advertising get earlier and earlier every year?!

There isn't any myxomatosis in Watership Down.

Rabbit walks in to a pub asks for a lager and a cheese toastie. Downs the larger and the toastie in one. "Pint of bitter and a cheese and ham toastie" he says and again downs them in one. "I will have a snake bite and a cheese and tomato toastie when your ready gov nor" again the greedy rabbit downs them in one.

Half hour later the barman is closing up and hears someone violently throwing up in the gents he pops his head round the door and is not surprised to see the rabbit with his head in the sink.

Mixing your drinks he says ?

No mixi ma toasties says the rabbit.

Incidentally, there is a very polite gent from Virginia on Twitter called @johnlewis who is dealing very well (at the moment) with a bucket load of tweets.
