Attached Link: Compare the meerkat !!
Was just doing as the subject line above and I had the vision of meerkats in my head. Never happened before but that's done it for me now - Vladimir makes me think of comparethemeerkat.com tv ads.Absolutely no offence aimed at Vladimir - I just found it so funny, sitting here tittering whilst trying to take in what he's saying
:b_grin:

I always think of this.Also hope no offense is taken. I have a lot of respect for anyone that can learn English as a second or third language. I only speak one :)

I guess we don't get the same TV ads in Canada. Too bad, the best part of television for me is the commercials. Once the reality TV craze happened I got rid of my TV, filled the space with a 30" computer monitor instead :)
Also OT, Andy Brown's Modo tutorials put me to sleep. They are very interesting, quite possibly the best tutorials I have ever viewed, he knows how to describe not just the "what" but the "why" we are doing stuff, but his voice is just too soothing.

I ordered a video once and the guy was chain smoking through the whole thing, really aggrivating to say the least :P

GeekAtPlay is a wonderful place to learn ... and yes the voice is so very soothing but well worth the extreme heavy caffine intake just before listening... :-)

BTW, those meerkat commercials are rather renowned here now. We even get notice of when a new one is going to be aired !!
You're better as a cuddly meerkat than a German who is 'sinking' about answering a mayday call

Yep, love those meerkat ads. Most "compare" ads are bloody annoying. We turn the sound off when that opera singer comes on.
"Simple" is fast becoming a catch phrase.
As to Geekatplay, those tutes are fantastic, but on my lappy the sound is really quiet. Combine that with the accent and I have troulble hearing them.

Oh God yes, those Compare ads must be the most annoying ones at the moment - even overtaking Safestyle windows!
I've never had a problem with the volume of tutorials on my laptop.
Actually, I do rather like Vladimir's accent, and Artur's for that matter. Anything that doesn't sound like Ozzy Ozborne on speed does it for me really :lol:
