How can I find two specific adverts?

edit

Hi all,

I'm looking for copies of two particular poster-adverts.

One is a Soviet-style advertising campaign led by lastminute.com about a year ago in the UK. The taglines were along the lines of, 'Demand your right to five holidays a year!', and showed lines of identical UK 'workers' with a golden sun behind.

The other is a recent Virgin Media advert. It features a hand on a computer mouse and says something like 'Leading the broadband revolution'.

Both these adverts were produced for billboards, underground train stations, and/or the sides of London buses.

Any ideas on where I might find them on the internet?

http://commercial-archive.com/ maybe - more likely if there adverts were unique/different/had some sort of design-aspect that makes them stand out from the crowd. Great little site either way though. ny156uk (talk) 10:08, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

F1 Regulations

edit

What would F1 cars look like if it wasn't for the many regulations that stop them from going too fast? I heard on the Friday practice session that they could go up to 500km/h on the straights if it weren't for regulations which stop the tyres from being covered up etc. but that is the only bit i heard. How much faster would lap times be? 86.129.218.220 (talk) 17:36, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Its difficult to speculate, but with all of the money invested in to F1 vehicles, I imagine it would be pushing 4-500 km/h, easily. However, finding drivers that can maintain these stresses for long periods of time over the course of a racing season would be much harder than making the car itself.

Table for Twelve

edit

How do I get the name of the show "Table for Twelve" change to "Table for 12"? Which is the show's official name.

You need to move the page. I've done that now. See WP:MOVE for how this works. - EronTalk 22:15, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
