Genuine experience...no spoofing !

When you're watching tv, reading a book or flicking throufg a magazine I'm sure you've had occassion to get a little irritated when you see some celeb or other espousing the virtues of a product and you know in your heart of hearts that this person would not normally spit on that product, let alone use it, and only appears in the advert because a considerable amount of money has changed hands....

There are some graet examples of celebrity endorsements that have gone horribly wrong , Martina Hingis , for example suing her sportswear sponsor Sergio Tacchini, for playing badly and hurting her ankles ...after she'd pocketed US$3.2m !

Sometimes they're just downright inapproporiate, such as the Flinstones promoting cigarrettes ..

We , the purveyors of fine workwear and safety footwear at the 4th largest workwear company in Monaghan , are cut from a different cloth. We put everything we sell to the test

Here we have the Bond boys and Vinny testing out various Cat workwear items and Haix work boots . So when we recommend something we may base it on a little , very little in Vinny's case, experience.

Anyway , that's the rent paid for, now on to more important matters.

Winner of Fridays Super Hero inspired competition was Dee O'Rourke , I love Hong Kong Phooey too !

This Friday's Freebie Friday will revolve around Super Villians...put your thinking caps on.

Cheers,

Paul
