You know what I love?

Those bargain basement 10 second ads RTE and UTV used to show all the time - just a card, usually with a picture of a nice leather 3 piece suite, or a cow with mastitis, and a voiceover.

It came as quite a shock* to me to learn at a Billy Connolly show a few years ago that no other country in the world has ads like that. And he'd know, being a well travelled man.

*= and yet, didn't.

and the voiceover person always sounded like they'd been heavily dosed with tranquillizers before doing the ad.

"sale...sale...sale...come to the exciting shoe sale in brennans of mullingar...sale"

The best ones of them are always on All-Ireland day. "O'Shea's Carpets, Edgeworthstown" or something.
