There have been a couple of ad's where he has been a cartoon character instead of the real deal. You think it's because his fee's are high now??!!

A bit like the one with Davina McCall, where you hear her 'Mum' speaking but she isn't actually in it, because they wanted to save a few quid by not paying another actress!! LOL.

Back on topic though, I wonder if 'Howards' chat-up line is 'My names Howard and I can give you extra'.

I used to work at a place where we had a guy looked JUST like Howard! In our morning sales meetings when people were giving their target figures for the day; after he gave his, the ASD would say who gives you extra and everyone would say WHO WHO WHO WHO!

The Halifax are part of the Bank of Scotland Group and when the Bank of Scotland was sponsoring the Scottish Premier League, they used to wheel out Howard and some stupid blond bint from a BOS branch in Glasgow at half time during a lot of the games. Used to love it, the amount of abuse he took was phenominal!

The whole ground would be booing him (not racially by the way in case anyone starts) but whenever he would try and speak the crowd would drown him out. Loved it - hate the bastard with a passion. One of the few adverts I would change channel for when it came on.

Don't think we get them up here anymore.

yeah me 2, very happy chappy. Howard pulls a hang ten though, keeping it real for the kids. Do you think his depression is from the fame etc? if so i kinda feel for the guy
