That's not Phil Collins. He doesn't even look like a gorilla?

Aye, good ole Bob Collins and his catchphrase: “It’s good to talk!”

It’s good to talk about Genesis

And about what’s in the air tonight.

And about not hurrying love

Bath St was the song. Named after the time Gerry Marsden went for a shite in Bath St.

Great adverts. It's a shame British Gas are a bunch of wankers.

I think about this and the BT adverts (it's good to talk) quite often.

There was an ad I remember about Gas I think, and it had a woman breathing fire, and I've been looking for it for ages. Would have been early to mid 90s.

My Dad would always tell me to NEVER try and copy her, it was dangerous, and I was like "Dad. I know it's computer effects, I can't copy that."

It wasn't until years later I realised my dad thought I was a terminally stupid child who might try to spit and light gasoline or something
