1. Self-indulgent pants – like most things on here. Man Utd supporter from London? enough said.

4. Nice try! Hysterical and indeed clever on the part of the creative agency behind this!

5. Yeah, it’s a bit of a master stroke — they must get loads of hits on their site off the back of it! People in work look at like I’m mental when I’m sitting at my desk reading it with contorted face and very poorly contained laughing/snorting.

7. Woah there, men! While I’m chuffed you’re reading my blog (and why wouldn’t you – it’s fucking brilliant!) I have to take issue with all this talk of me being a) made up, and, worse, b) an agency.

   Dave Knockles is as real as…Dave Knockles. I’m me. Dave Knockles. There can be only one! (Actually, I know there’s a Dave Knockles who fits kitchens in and around Bowe – but he’s obviously not the real Dave Knockles – that’s me.)

   Anyway, that minor gripe aside, thanks for reading – please keep doing so. There’s so much more marketing magic I have to share!

   Cheerz,

   Dave Knockles

8. Jesus! What happened to all my punctuation? That was the only thing I learned at school! (Apart from how to make a mug tree and where the clitoris is.)

9. Dave, I know you’re a fan of ASDA’s ads (and why not when they feature such a big green arrow AND a price!). Can I put it to you that Iceland have the best advertising ever? Kerry Katona (big bristolas) and prices featured at nearly the same size as the afore mentioned bristolas? Surely Dave Knockles had some input…

10. Hmm – it’s a good point, Marc. And I’d love to take some credit for the Iceland work, but I operate in the consumer durables market relating to, or directly involving cleaning clothes, and or soft furnishing, and or other fabrics.

    I think, though, that we need to focus not just on big bristolas (which are crucial, Marc – crucial) but on the quality of those bristolas. And I’m afraid that what Katona delivers in clout, she lacks in class.

    That said, I bet the wrap party after shooting the commercials was an absolute cunting riot!

    Cheerz,

    Dave

11. Katona is definitely old hat these days… in my humble opinion anyway. I think Iceland should be looking to better themselves and aiming to recruit the likes of Katie ‘Jordan’ Price for forthcoming campaigns. She has everything Katona has and more. Plus — she can speak in almost-coherent sentences. Case closed.

12. Dave – I salute you! It was a school boy error on my part to purely stare, I mean look, at the size of the Katona bristolas and forget what a car crash of a woman she actually is.

13. Rydo – I understand what can sometimes feel like a very desperate need to use Jordan (let\’s not dignify her with a real name) in one\’s ads. After all, she\’s more interesting to journos than a two-headed kiddy-fiddler would be. And she does, as you rightly attest, have gigantic bristolas. There\’s no disputing that.

    But, just like I turned down Paris Hilton (http://iamtheclient.blogspot.com/2009/08/paris-hilton-blows-job.html), sometimes it pays to look at the less obvious option. For instance, if you could find a doris with enormous bristolas, a right blow-jobber\’s gob AND a big press following – but who also didn\’t cost much – you\’d have hit advertising paydirt.

    Marc – never feel a moment\’s concern about suggesting Katona for an ad job. She\’s marketing gold. After all, she\’s an idiot, has big bristolas and for tabloid hacks she\’s harder to resist than a free handjob. I feel, though (and this is just Dave Knockle\’s personal opinion) that there are a better grade of bristolas that can be attached to MY brand. For other brands, mind, she works harder than a stripper at a war memorial.

    Keep on reading, men! And please comment on my blog – I want opinion from chaps like you!

    Cheerz,

    Dave
