Poor Meg during "White Moon"...

Roxy Music - Virginia Plain

Lovables Undie Rules - 3.5 Didn't think much of the graphics at the start but overall, a very cute ad and just the right length. Liberti Lingerie #1 - 1.5 A confused attempt at making something cinematic, complete with some incredibly bad acting (I'm looking at you, secretary in the background). Great looking model though. LaPerla Lingerie - 4.5 Easily in my top five of the contest so far. Lane Bryant Cacique - 3 Why this ad was banned is one of the great mysteries of our time. Right up there with "how did Raymond Domenech stay employed for so long?" Intimissimi - 2 Nowhere near as eccentric or artistic as it thinks it is, but still strangely memorable.

Adriana & Karolina - 2 Alessandra, Doutzen, Candice, Gracie, Flavia and Rosie - 4 Adriana & Emanuela - 3 Adriana - 2.5 Marisa & Doutzen - 2 VS Invisible Lace - 3.5 (mostly for the shots of Karolina) Adriana Lima VS Embrace Strapless - 2 (mostly for the fact that she was sitting inside a giant hollow wedding cake) Alessandra Ambrossio VS Embrace Demi - 2 Izabel Goulart Victoria's Secret Embrace - 3 VS English Lace Collection - 4 (great theme but not keen on the way it was shot - way too dark) VS Push Up 2003 - 4.5 Why Lindsay Ellingson Loves Her Body - 3.5 (liked the simplistic setting a lot) Karen Mudler VS Desire - 2 Sloggi - 3 (for the extra effort) VS Incredible Bra - 3 (started off well but too short by half) VS Holiday - 2 (as slick as they are, these VS ads are getting samey. A few more individual concepts like the English lace one wouldn't go amiss) VS I Love My Man's Body - 3.5 VS Angels in Venice (AnaBB) - 1.5

:| Wasn't expecting to have missed so much. I'll keep it brief with the catch-up votes... Irina Sheik Triumph V Shape - 3 Bar Rafaeli Bonita de Mas - 3.5 (But a 7/10 idiot split - bad luck, Bar) Triumph Cosmetic Bra Spa - 2 VS Michael Bay - 3.5 (Absolutely hilarious. Was anyone else expecting it to end in a shootout?) Fortnight CPR - 4.5 (Predictably) Davenport Underwear # 1 - 3 (Weird theme, but very vibrant and colourful) Petra Playtex - N/A (Couldn't watch this one, but the still image of Petra is worth at least a 3) Miranda Kerr VS Air Push Up - 2 Adriana Lima Angels in Venice VS - 2.5 VS What is Sexy - 4 Passionata #3 - 2 Irina Sheik Nuovissima Intimissimi 2009 - 2 VS IPEX - 5 (Probably in my top 3 so far) Mode Marie Bra #1 - 2 (Mildly amusing) Hotmilk Striptease - 1.5 (Better than the last one, at least) Jennifer Hawkins Lovables #1 - N/A (Couldn't watch this one either, unfortunately) VS What is Sexy 2002 - 3.5 (I must admit though, I caught myself thinking "trip her over" at 0:14 ) Sloggi - 1.5 Akemi #1 - 2 (Liked the graphics) Triumph Maximizer #5 - 1.5

But we've also bought Titus Bramble. Swings and roundabouts! :persuazn: How much do you suppose the average pundit gets paid, Fred? I find it hard to imagine a TV producer sitting in some studio, screaming "get Chris Coleman on the phone and pay him whatever he wants, we can't do the Community Shield without him!" at his secretary. I am indeed a Sunderland fan (someone has to be! ). To be honest with you, Cana's a bit of an odd one. I could never really work him out during the time we had him. He arrived to considerable fanfare, started off brilliantly and was made captain within weeks of joining. Then over the winter, we had a disastrous run of results mirroring his own dramatic dip in form. From January onwards, various injuries and suspensions led to extended runs for academy lads Jordan Henderson and David Meyler, who both looked the part in midfield, keeping Cana, Cattermole and Zenden out of the team. When Cana eventually came back for the last few games (by which time our season was all but over), he looked bored and decidedly overweight, and it was fairly obvious that his heart was no longer in it. I'm reluctant to judge him too harshly after what was very much a season of transition for club and player alike, but overall he proved to be something of an anti-climax for us. I strongly suspect he saw Sunderland as a stepping stone to a bigger Premier League club but instead found English football too demanding, despite his aggressive all-action style. If he's fully committed to the cause, he'll be a good asset for Galatasaray as a midfield enforcer or at a push, a central defender (he's superb in the air, though probably a bit wild to play regularly at the back). From an attacking perspective, he doesn't offer much but he's a fearless and ferocious competitor who'll put his head where the boots are flying and tackle anything that moves. I'm reposting this YouTube vid of his greatest hits - incidentally, do be prepared for him to be suspended quite a bit...

Triumph EcoChic - 3.5 Very similar to the Ana one a couple of rounds back, though this one didn't grab me quite as much. Liked the model and the setting but wasn't keen on the voiceover. Target Lingerie - 2.5 It was alright, but not particularly memorable. VS Stretch Collection - 3 I liked that the ad was in black and white and thought the opening shot was great, but found it a bit bland overall.
