Well you could make a start by wearing no socks and an ill fitting suit when you take your missus out
How about crocks and a Slazenger tracksuit complete with cricket hat and shades?
Hell it's what I wear on the boat. It just works on so many levels :encouragement:

Indeed the most Cringetastic video.
Certainly if there is any single part of that video's creation or production been carried out by someone who actually has ever been on a boat before I would be surprised. It just made me angry as that's the sort of tosh MDL waste money on.. rather than upgrading the marina we are in...

With hindsight, a particularly ironic advert given the perception of Audi drivers these days!

Re: What marketing department ?
I, too, don't get the plot of the video. The dude finishes work on his laptop and drives to the Morseby Tower in OV and goes up the stairs on his own. Meanwhile some other people are bringing a boat from Hythe to OV and the hotel staff make up a bed but don't use fresh sheets. He comes down the stairs of the Morseby with the girl, so she must have a flat there. Must be in Hawkins because if she was in Morseby he would go up the stairs. He goes for a spin on the boat to Hamble and then back to and checks in to the hotel. A hotel that is short walk from where the girl lives. Why didn't he just go back to her place?

I like this forum, lots of mobo problems posted on here and answered, sometimes even correctly. I didn't subscribe to get a laugh, but this thread has to be probably the funniest one I've seen Thanks guys.

Derrrrr. Because he's paying for the platinum package and he wants to get his discount off of the overpriced drinks et al
Hope you're well P.

My father? Not sure how you came to that conclusion as a friend of mine pointed this thread out to me. Are you hinting that you know of me?
You may or may not be a good filmmaker, that is a matter of taste. You are undoubtedly economical with the truth though as CHI's son runs Elite Cinematics, as he has in the past proudly announced on this forum and posted links to their facebook page, where on 15 September you posted

Yup Elecglitch, and he has a degree of prior form in this thread. The bit in post 65 saying "...he own’s the car, lives in a high end property and has multiple successful business’s" is very far from a candid report. No matter, and I don't doubt for one second that the actor is a perfectly nice decent hardworking guy (if a little #bigmyselfup on twitter but no harm in that I guess). I'm more bothered by the apostrophes!

Hi Solent 1 and welcome to the forum, a landscape full of tiny hills and nemerous folk who are all too ready to die on them, for most any reason....
Personally - I felt that the video was fine, it gets he message across, it’s well edited and given the locale, the end product is shiny enough.
Critics having a problem with wrong watch, wrong boat, wrong smile, no socks, punchable face and revolting sexualisation are probably relics who’d do better sticking with their daily telegraph at home in Tunbridge Wells and staying off line.
Of course, if the budget allows you could take a plural approach to content and create a second video which resonates with the majority of contributors to this thread, you’ll just need to find a late middle age, balding male on the edge of Type 2 and their less than completely invested other half, tagging along despite rather wishing her husband would take up golf like a normal man; I’m available at a reasonable rate but you’ll need to supply the Tag Heuer
Well done for the post and don’t let the buggers get you down...
HEAR! HEAR! :encouragement: :encouragement: I can laugh at myself too, but I can say I am neither bald nor middle aged even if I am quite capable of self delusion on the latter. To the film maker, I thought it was a well edited video but must confess it was a poor choice in male model. When us old fogey's see a hair cut like that we start pointing out all that wrong with the new generation. But as you say, is it really just a reflection of us?

Is this level of personal criticism really necessary?

Yes, but you also have to be honest with yourself. Before you had a boat and fell in love with the sea and became an addict, you got in because of the dream. Had you known the reality, wild horses would not have dragged you into the pastime. Nobody is that stupid surely?

It would appear he is a bit of a curtain twitcher in that respect. This is not the first time he's been outed as a bit of a stalker.

J, I was thinking the same. I think we've aired plenty of criticism of the video and the choice of model. Plus aired some vested interests. It now seems to be taking a nastier turn.
Without wishing to sound like a prude, perhaps this thread should be allowed to die a natural death?

'course not, J. And 'fiuaskme, this thread was already entertaining enough without any personal insight.
So, I disagree with petem suggestion of letting it die: I've still got some popcorn left!
Otoh, it's hardly surprising that the surrealistic pseudo-contribution of solent1 only provoked further and even stronger criticism, 'innit?

From one old bugga to another. If the young and upcoming generation, the one that is going to replace us, didn't dream and have ambitions of greater things, then what have we left behind. Go easy on the lad, build him up dont break him down.

Possibly not (particularly as the original claim did not come from the model himself) if that is the way it comes across and thus deleted. More intended to illustrate the problematic nature of making claims of status/wealth when an individual's digital profile is so open these days. Including, of course, in his case a couple of prominent stories in the Echo.

Oh climb off the rocks.
I too have been a victim of your googlewhacking and I know that you must have spent some effort to track me down as I am at pains to limit my personal digital profile. You've done it before too. Just stand up before the group and admit you have a problem, that way lies salvation :encouragement:

We're the last people who ought to be knocking someone who has high aspirations. When the revolution comes there'll be no love for boat owners.
