Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
Well seeing how popular Ben is in China, no doubt Dunlop'll see quite a leap in sales. I just found it rather unusual. Maybe I'm just not used to seeing his name endorsing products.

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
Yes, it is different from doing voice-overs because he lends his own face to promote a product.

Oh, my car also needs a good wash urgently. Probably more urgently than yours, dear

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
Have you seen my car recently? It also needs a good vacuum cleaning. This will take a lot of time.

No, no, no, I was first. Well, no, Solar's tyre first. Then my whole car. Then yours.

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
You could all come to my place, bring your cars and then Benedict can change all the tyres and then wash our cars and then... you know... relax. And all that.
...and Harriet: urgent needs...? Yeah, well, what can I say...

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
The more, the merrier! 
gently, no, not topless, not in front of my house. I want him to wear a white undershirt, of course.

Re: Let's talk all things lovely about Ben...
This was meant to be a serious discussion about his tyre ad and what are doing? Talking about undershirts … wait … a white one … like in LF … yes … not bad … hm … trying to visualise him with a tyre lever … and a vacuum cleaner …

Darlings, I am going away to watch the football match soon. Please, please behave yourselves. This is getting slightly out of hand.

Don't you think driving to Boston would be easier for you ... instead of coming to a car wash session in Germany?
