    A quick 4-0 lead here, any sign of a comeback or will we have another one sided affair?

    Assume the quarter finals will be left until tomorrow now?

    Semi finals & Final on Friday then to close out the week?

    While Denny's ad is adorable and very well done, I have to go with Pennys.

    Penneys all the way on this one.

    Never really took to that Denny's ad to be honest, it came out during the boom and it's got a real Celtic Tiger feel off it, something about it I can't take to.

    I think Pennys was always going to be the exception, if the public had it's way it'd be our new National Anthem.

    Tough one this one as I love the old An Post one, but hearing the classic 'holidays are coming' every year for the first time 'live' still gives me a real christmas buzz so Coca Cola for me this time.
