    me and my mate keep yelling up your viva at each other down the phone - my mate has it on her facebook and I have it as the welcome message on my phone!
    However nothing beats comparethemeerkat.com - the best adverts ever!!!
    I must say though I feel very sorry for Sergei. I tweeted Aleksandr to ask him why he treats Sergei so badly but he hasnt replied - gutted! :rotfl:

  • Aleksandr and Sergei are the best I must say! If you look on the comparethemeerkat.com they have a set of outtakes that are hilarious!

    I'm really not sure about the Up Your Viva ads ... I can't help but mistake the Viva word for a part of the female anatomy. :o

    viva means live so unless your stupid it has nothing to do with female anatomy go learn the proper words your old enough

    The Viva advert, is it me or is not encouraging anyone to watch it...I definitely won't be, it's just TMF in a different skin, no changes to anything else
    ** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **
    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
    I do it all because I'm scared.

    What, you mean the perfectly acceptable, indeed 'proper', biological term 'vulva'? I don't think one word reminding someone of another means they're 'stupid'. Sigh.

    I am well aware of what viva means, however in the context of the advert it makes little sense, and there is certainly innuendo in the way the message is put across.

    I find it difficult to understand how somebody can criticise in such a way, when they do not even understand the difference between your and you are.
    Gone ... or have I?
