It was a reference to Big Tam the Milkman aka Sir Sean Connery. If I had turned into him overnight I would also therefore have become requisitely bald. I am currently unbald.
The syrup line is cockney rhyming slang, syrup of fig, wig shortened to syrup. Sir Sean is a notorious employer of alternative hair.

Hope this is of assistance.

I like nudity, and I'm not offended by female body parts being flashed at me
I couldn't agree more. 

Let's all take off our clothes and find naked ladies!

BIG Tam the Milkman? I'll never see a James Bond film the same way now.  :)

The style of camerawork that you always get in the likes of The Wire.It makes the whole thing unwatchable with their frantic chopping and changing of shots and camera angles and why they constantly feel the need to zoom right into the actors faces for example.

What is the point of this ?

Why cant they just hold the fucking camera in one place ?

Syrup = Syrup Of Figs = Wig.

Cockney rhyming slang.I love cockney rhyming slang as it cracks me up .

Its got to be When Harry Met Sally. That scene, those two shots. The fake orgasm followed by the arched eyebrowed remark, "I'll have whatever she/ he/ it's having. " well, for a start she/ he/ it, could be having an allergic reaction! If it wasn't so incessantly replicated all the time, I wouldn't have felt the need to post this example.

Damn, I had few of these in memory, but forgot them.

Right now , I can't the theme tune to Early Edition.

It just gets on my nerves everytime I hear it & I'm like "Quick change the channel." anytime I hear it.

The show itself, is about guy who always get tomorrows a newspaper a day before.
The premice is that he is able to read to of future events aday head and is forced choose which people he can save from accidents, murderes and other crimes he's read about in that paper.

I did watch this for while, and then it just got dull.

I the theme music is typically new age sounding, and very annoying.

Glenn Frey's Ex-Eagles frontman [I think]. Some of the osngs I use listen to alot back in 1984 in conjunction with Miami Vice when the series debuted was Smugglers Blues & You Belong to the City, & I think The Heat is On.

Played them to death. They were and proabbly stiil are on some cassett deck tapes I use to recorder muci off the radio. A old hobby of mine before the internet. That brings back memories.

Seriously I didn't truly remember all that, I had to google Smugglers Blues and got Glenn Frey from that then the memories of saxophone & lyrics come flooding back.

DD's ears are full of wrong.

He has a valid point about the Harry Met Sally thing used endlessly in adverts.

May I also add the current crop of adverts that zoom in on the product and make out that something really exciting being done by millions of little people is happening in your glass or Guinness, Harp Lager, Coco Pops, Detergent, Gaviston, etc. etc. ad nauseum.  Really, how do they get away with being so creatively bankrupt?
If in doubt, go for the knob gag.

Car adverts that always show the car that is nearly always silver colored gliding effortlessly through some faceless cityscape full of faceless glass fronted buildings and towerblocks.

There is NEVER any traffic on the roads either.


Ban the smug looking faceless twats that feature in the ads driving the cars as well.

If I recall correctly, some chap several years ago did a mash up of around a dozen different car adverts and made it look like one advert for one car. Nobody was any the wiser till he owned up.

The woman changing gear in the car advert always has a nice short skirt on so that you can see her legs. Because if you buy that car, then you get to have sex with her*.
















* That's right, she's your mother.
