Sprouts and chips? WTF? 

And how much brown sauce Frank???

Situation normal. It feels great to start the day with a moan after all the positivity of recent days.

It may well be that the Warriors get extra income by incorporating the main sponsors name in this way.

Jesus! How much brown sauce is he putting on that? You'd have to remortgage your house to be able to use that much in one go these days. And why at the end of the ad does the bottle look like it's climaxing, so to speak?

Correct. Your starter for ten, no conferring.

Strictly speaking, Compaq only made personal computers. Compaq aquired the ailing  DEC who made PDP and VAX mini and midis but couldn't make it work, and was ultimately bought by HP.

Maybe you need to see a shrink ?

I'm totally open minded sexualness wise but even I would struggle to find a sexual connotation in a bottle of HP sauce. 

Maybe best not to answer this actually

Seems to be a normal thing in NZ. Even in the 1980s they routinely seemed to put the name of the sponsor in front of the team, so England would be playing the Lion Red Kiwis or whatever. 

The power of advertising.

whenever I think of NZ RL back in the early 90’s I think of lion red.

samething for British coal and GB.

I'm not saying the bottle of brown sauce gives me a hard on, I'm not a nutter for God sake, that's mayonnaise that does that.

To be honest it looks rather tasty but I’d prefer gravy over brown sauce.

Phew, I thought you were a weirdo for a second there. 

I remember hard ons though, and so did my Mrs.

I think you need to see a shrink! 5 question marks????? You seem to have more of an objection to gravy on steak than someone shagging a bottle of brown sauce!

One thing I cannot stand is animal cruelty and branding every kangaroo in Australia with a Gallagher logo is quite frankly disgusting. Capitalism gone too far. What next? Foster's Koalas? 

even worse when the deal runs out in a couple of years... back to xxxx then (just like when we had typewriters)

I bet whoever sponsors them is miffed about being referred to as [insert sponsor] ?

Oh they were quite ubiquitous back in 'the day'. 

Fire up your Compaq PC you bought from Tiny, insert the free CD and you can get online in no time (provided nobody rings you up)

Eeh, kids today, they don't know the struggles we had. 

CD???? Goddamn yoof!

Don't worry.

Great Britain were the British Coal Lions for a time.

(It occurs to me that England netball are the Vitality Roses right now.)

HP Sauce did get involved in the sports naming rights game a while back.

Anyone remember when snooker player Jimmy White was sponsored by them and briefly changed his name to 'Jimmy Brown'? Classy stuff.
