What's the SP/Know the SP?

[grobelaar]

Yo Big C, it seems your What's the SP? has been subverted and adbusted by, can you f'ing believe it, of the all things -

the new Marks & Spencer menswear range...

Buses and billboards here in the UK are emblazoned with

KNOW THE SP! (http://www.marksandspencer.com/IWCatSectionView.process?IWAct ion=Load&Merchant_Id=1&Section_Id=3437&Page_Count=1&RestartFlow=t)

What's the SP on those jumpers?

What's the SP on those roll necks?

What's the fucking SP on those gift vouchers??

Somebody tell me please

[CV]

Dave Tarrida gets involved and all of a sudden Mosquito becomes the Marks & Spencers of techno??

What's the SP on that then?

[invisibleplanet]

...don't accept credit cards

[invisibleplanet]

i won't accept them, LOZ. Thanks for the warning :)

anyway, who ever accepts the 'never never'?
scary stuff all that negative equity.

[Loz]

I love credit cards. Means I can buy stuff before payday.

Anyway, back to Marks and Sparks, do they still make the best knickers?

[cut out]

i have a pair of Sp trousers from st. marks and they are comfortable and stylish, though chafe ever so slightly in the crotch area.

i don't think u can miss the chance to hook up with one of britain's finest and most honourable (i'm guessing) companies here cristian... there's gotta be some distance in aligning no future with marks & sparks - imagine the discounts...

[invisibleplanet]

I don't know, Loz, I only go there to buy Italian Tiramisu desert :) njami.

[Loz]

you buy Tiramisu?

you should make it yourself, far more fun

[jukka]

more fun ?

what kind of extra ingredients do you put in then ?


and do you mean more fun making it or more fun after you ate it ?

[jukka]

wth does SP mean ??

[wheezer]

so mosquito 21 will go down in history as the first ep to question mark & spencers marketing tactics. another first, ever pushing the envelope! :)

[nickedstole]

[penciLneck]

This SP thing's really bugging me, what is it? Species, Standardized Patient, Spec.

What's the SP? I mean.. what is the SP?

[grobelaar]

I can't speak for Mosquito, but I rather think it might simply be SPencer.

M&S are funny I saw a documentary on them buying in some new swanky food range, and the whole company seems packed to the brim with the sort of nice people you'd find attending village fetes, baking ever so exceedingly good cakes, helping out with the flowers at the local church and hosting weekly meetings of the Neighbourhood Watch...

Their clothing division has been taking a beating recently in todays oh so isn't that so well designed and modern too, that said above staff are struggling with the cut and thrust of here today-ooh I wander what's coming tomrrow-oh look its yesterday's shit with a new label disposable-guerrilla-branding of the modern consumer industry that I suspect they are left somewhat bewildered and doubtless at the mercy of several top design agency, up for selling them dignity with zajazz for a hectic brave new world...

[marcel]

maybe the first gigantic marketingcoup by mosquito??
now let us all think about what it could be and then, being really corious, all buy mos21 to find out.

[databombers]

ha, ha..

[Hazell]

The term 'SP' comes from the betting world... Do't know what the initials stand for, but it's along the same lines as knowing 'the coup', 'the deal' or 'the score'...

Grob, we REALLY should somehow find a way of getting you a spot on 'The Clothes Show' or get you teamed up with the Fashion-Slappers... errrrrr... can't remember their names but they a couple of snooty mares that basically cane peeps on TV for the fashion faux-pas'...

[penciLneck]

state of play??

[Dave]

STARTING PRICE ya all!

[MUX]

I say..
LAWSUIT

[zongkong]

SP is of course short for Socialist Party - All the guys at Mosquito's _and_ M&S are gently trying to let us all know that they are actually Stalinists, all of them ^_^
