Lovemark Comments

Little Britain

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 22:11:42 +1300

I accidentially discovered this great comedy on the German TV programme "Comedy Central" and from then on I never missed an episode. It's wonderful British humor, playing with stereotypes and cliches in a very exaggerated way. Warning: By no means politically correct!

FC Bayern Munich

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 06:08:41 +1300

I am really scared that I had to realize that my favourite football club isn't on the Lovemarks list yet. The reason is quite simple: It's the best football club in Germany - it has been for at least the last 40 years and will last for at least the same time. I came to it by father-daughter-education and I will never leave it.

Wadden Sea National Park

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 05:59:07 +1300

I feel sorry for everyone who hasn't had the chance to take a walk on the seabed of the North Sea - the Wadden Sea - yet. It is the one of the most exciting experiences I have ever had, and I do visit the German coast at least once a year (this year it was twice within 4 months) to take an walk in the Wadden Sea and look what's going on with my 'friends's' (mussels, blow lugs etc.) home. It isn't fun, it is silence, it is recreation, it is the best way of spending one's holidays. You don't believe me? Just try - and you will find out immediately why this region has won the title of world natural heritage by UNESCO.

The greatest and most inspriring place to receive knowledge on the planet.

Shaun the Sheep

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 23:28:13 +1300

I've never been interested in comic characters since I've been a grown-up - I even refused the Simpsons and South Park hype. But now I have a little son and all this children stuff has become a topic again. Of course, I pay attention to what he watches on TV. So it happened that he was the person who brought my new Lovemark to me: Shaun the Sheep. I think it's sooo cute, and me and my boy always have a good laugh together while watching this funny animal doing crazy things. I even ordered the whole DVD collection at Amazon - basically thought as a Christmas gift for my son. But when the package arrived, I also couldn't wait to see more of Shaun. It ended with spending the Sunday afternoon in front of the TV, eating cookies and laughing till our stomaches were aching. Brilliant!

Spokane Shock

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 08:12:50 +1300

The Spokane Shock burst into the Arena Football 2 league in 2006. They won the league championship that first year. They won it again in 2009. The team owner is committed to providing family friendly entertainment to the Spokane and North Idaho market area. They, and their sponsors, give back to the community in many ways. Because of all they do in and for the city and citizens in the area, and providing championship entertainment, they have averaged the highest attendance in the league each of their four years. Ticket price are extremely reasonable. A whole family can attend and not break the bank. The experience is electrifying! This area loves the Shock! So do I. I have attended most of their games. There is a great feeling of friendship and belonging to all the fans. GO SHOCK!

Quality Street

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:09:09 +1300

Ever since I had my first Quality Street box of chocolates in the late 80's, when it was a Rowntree's brand, I loved it more than anything that a person can regard as food! As Quality Street boxes where not sold in Egypt, everytime we have a box in our house it meant that some dear relative came from abroad to see us with this great gift. My grandma used to bring us Quality Street twice a year when she came to visit from Saudi Arabia. I saw how much this box of chocolates, with its flavors inside and colors, brought joy to my family in Egypt. It symbolized quality chocolate and happiness. Nothing more cheerful than connecting happiness with chocolate. Each time I see the Quality Street box I have this feeling of happiness I used to get when I was 4 years old. Now I am preparing for my marriage and designing my wedding invitation as a box of chocolates from Quality Street with the same old two characters on the front of the box as me and my bride. I will always love Quality Street chocolate.

One word...inspirational.

Pirelli

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 10:55:02 +1300

Why is Pirelli a Lovemark for me? Probably, because of its being associated to the so-called Italian industrial miracle...the one following the World War II. Baby boomers (as I am) know very well the relationship between birth rates and economic prosperity. My father was actually a blue collar engaged in the automotive industry, so do understand me now? The myth of the car for every family was our bread and butter. In addition, my primary toys were models of racing cars and for long time I stomped on a go-kart powered by pedals. That kid has gone forever but a day-to-day driver is always on the road. He's been transporting women to parties, friends to venues, and children to school. I have become, anyway, a great regular driver, the kind you find in a classic race of endurance such as the 24 Hours in LeMans. (Just where the cars went into the myth for me). No crash experienced in 30 years of driving under rain, snow, heat or fog. Let me say: maybe fortune helps the excellent ones! And a skilled driver always prefers to lead a car equipped with Pirelli tires, because power is nothing without control! The long P stands for patience too: oh driver, be patient... This thought belongs to all passengers even though they don't say a word about the rubber train under them. Now you know how we have been going steady for sure.

Dermalogica

Much more than a skincare system, Dermalogica has the power to change minds. It's like...when you use this, you feel good about yourself! I've met a lot of people that found in Dermalogica - the product that solved the biggest problems of their skin. Daily Microfoliant is part of me nowadays! I realy love it.
