I’ve not seen the tv ad but I have seen the newspaper version. Who do you think came up with that moniker? Her? Her agent? The company she advertises for? (So memorable that I cannot for the life of me remember what they sell but I instantly recognise the ridiculous tagline). Or has she always been known as such and I’m just being whooshed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purely down to how she was announced to the audience by Paul Daniels when she was his 'glamorous assistant' back in the day. Tbf, he was an odd looking wee fella so she probably was lovely and glamorous to him. The old question put to her by Mrs Merton (Caroline Aherne) of "And what first attracted you to the millionaire, Paul Daniels " was a great quip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) Huh, I never knew that. Always fun looking up the origins of samples. For years before discovering the internet, I wondered where Brutal Truth's "I hope you make sure we're properly dead before you start!" came from.

Suspect Device Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) Could be an all new thread but I only recently found out this. And it was on Twitter that I found it.

Samples or dialogue in songs have to come from a source - often obscure or forgotten movies or throw away lines in relatively well known movies. Why does it blow your mind to find it comes from an unspectacular but fairly decent movie that is rarely referenced 20 years on? "Mind blowing" to shortly become the new "can't breathe"....

invergowrie arab Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 How could you believe for a single second that if that happened the two parties first reaction would be to announce it to the assembled and then their family. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) There is a fair chance that the story has at least been embellished, but if you are heavily intoxicated and have just found out that you have given anonymous oral to your father, you probably aren't going to be thinking too logically about your immediate next steps.
