Des Lynam advertising Miracle Gro, that's a bit random! Was he the first person they thought of to represent 'people who are too busy to water their plants'? Was he particularly overworked in 1999?

Yes, when you look at the ad and think about it, it just doesn't make sense - would anyone on reading that think "Oh! Des is using it" and dash out and buy a bottle.............No.

1994...........
