It is funny this advert was made before I was even born but I saw it afterwards and it is one of my favourites I just like how he says his name “oh yes it`s JR Hartley”. I bet he was educated at Eton or somewhere ha ha it is always on the 100 greatest ads one of the best ads of all time I bet the old man is not alive now.
@RakerOfTheMuck there are many piece where you can convert old reels on to DVD if you on the google ” old film reels converted to dvd” should get you going
@h8thatcherluvblair The real J.R.Hartley never wrote a book about fly fishing. He is a fictional author. My Grandfather, the real actual flesh and blood J.R Hartley was an inventor working for the ministry of defense, he helped design the mark 1 tank used in ww1.
A guy called Michael Russell did release a book called Fly Fishing and he published it under the psudonym of J.R.Hartley.
The real J.R.Hartley is my great Grandfather true true. My father has some old black and white footage of him on a bicycle, smoking a pipe carved from Elephant tusk. Does anybody know how I can convert this into a youtube video?
@speedyboi1996whatever, kid born in 1996. i have yet to meet a 14-year old who had an opinion which I thought mattered. maybe you can prove me wrong. i, fucking, doubt it…..
Yellow Pages is a bunch of fucking robot morons. They call me every week during supper time, but never leave a message. When I try to call back, there is no answer… ever.
I’m fucking sick of it and I swear – oh hear me loud and clear – I will never fucking do business with these assholes.
Fuck yourselves.
The old fool should have just googled it. Don’t tell me it was before the internet, they always had it but only the smart people like Lou Gehrig and Dali knew about it though.
