Quote by Fallen Angel
Hides from fallenangel behind Postie!!!
Hehe you cant see me!! :P
There's no escaping - dives through Postie's legs and grabs Princesses legs from under her so she falls on her arse in the jelly
suddenly feels rather hungry seeing princess covered in jelly and dives in for a nibble

Fallen angel is not getting nearly enough attention and so starts walking around randomly pinching people
puts superglue on Fallen Angels fingers.... hehehehehe
<------------- starts kicking instead!
throws a ball at Fallen Angel..... Goal ! And runs up to congratulate her in true football player style... with a slide tackle :twisted:
A thought a football players celebration was a snog with his teammates...

The thread on here this morning about sweets from when we were younger got me thinking...
Marathon changed to Snickers
Opel Fruits to Starburst
in another field
Jif to Cif
anbody know any others and the reasons why?
was it just to make them the same as the rest of Europe and therefore cheaper packaging?
The reasons are simple, brand co-ordination across wide areas, sometimes we change, sometimes Europe changed, you can go to Europe and see the same brands and know what you are buying, it also makes marketing easier, have you seen the number of dubbed ads recently? e.g.
We changed from Marathon to Snicker
Europe changed from Raider to Twix
We lost the Nova and got the Corsa
Europe lost the Kadet and got (erm I forget)
It doesn't always work, France couldn't have the Toyota MR2, for instance, pronounce MR2 in French and you get Em er deux, or merde which is of course a shit name!
In The Netherlands they changed from Cif to Jif (pronounced Yif) for a short time, Jif is an all purpose cleaner which translates to "Jif alles reiniger " pronounce the "Jif alles" and you get "Ye phallus" and you end up with a penis cleaner in English and Dutch.
Oil of Ulay was called Oil of Olaz on the continent, each got one of the letters changed to get Oil of Olay.
Does that answer your question?

Almost - the obvious exception being Vauxhall and Opel ??

Think the personality has more to do with it than the looks - but also depends on if you are talking about a one-off or short term thing or something longer?
personally just has to feel right - whether that be governed by looks or personality changes from time to time and depnds on the situation.
