[MusicAvidable]

Haha I prefer this version as an advert. A music video highlighting Halifax's REAL customer service. It's Andy Duerden's music video "X Marks the Spot" , it's on youtube, type in search & you'll find

[Dungarth]

[hmfrx]

[fukuokaai228]

Did you memorise that advert?

Yes.

Hehehe...me too.

[AdemaLevel]

is he african? looks jewish

[mummyfunster]

Not sure. He's fairly annoying though.

[AdemaLevel]

@collinslfc BAHAHAHA, dont act all clever you dumb dip shit, its a race, like ''arabs'' go make a search

[AdemaLevel]

@collinslfc Lets ask a Jew then? Jew originate from The middle east, they are descendants of Abraham through Isaac, Dont try and make me look like an idiot, I AM RIGHT, you just dont really read much,

[AdemaLevel]

@collinslfc Jesus Christ, when did i say im anti Semetic?, I'm a Semite you dip shit, THERE IS FUCKING 2 MEANINGS TO ''JEW'' BEING JEWISH RACIALY, AND BEING JEWISH RELIGIOUSLY, just go on Wikipedia, for fuck sake

[AdemaLevel]

@collinslfc thats not the only resource, ask a Jew, and I think Wikipedia put a lock on some articles like ''Jews'', from constant attack, so NO, i cannot edit it, dip shit.

[AdemaLevel]

@collinslfc and for Christ's sake, have you ever heard of the quote, JESUS WAS A JEW, he was Jewish racially, Jesus came from line of David, a descendant of ISAAC, ISAAC, for Christ's sake was the ancestor of JEWS, his brother ISHMAEL, was the the ancestor of ARABS, thats why alot of christians boast about, how Jewish and Arab hatred are in the blood, because the jews are the ''chosen'' ''PEOPLE'' and Ishmael sons were just blessed but not Chosen.

[AdemaLevel]

@collinslfc how the fuck was sayng he looks jewish racist?

[AdemaLevel]

@AdemaLevel and did you EVEN notice it was sarcasm to some person saying ''he's African''

[AdemaLevel]

@collinslfc I swear because ignorant people like you piss me off, and try to make me look like an idiot? when clearly you do not know, that being Jewish has two meanings, and YOU ARE half jewish if your dad is a Jew, whether you like it or not, but CULTURALLY you are not, because it goes by mother, An arab can't be anti Semitic, because Arabs, are Semites, and being anti semetic, can have racist attributes, the way you ment it wasn't clear, sorry for not ''understanding'' your meaning there.

[Randomeyser]

the alternate version made me crack up

[TheDawnyP]

Lol Haveee YOu Seen The COmedy Of THis Soo Funny Hee Getss Ran Over ........

[DARKnDODGY]

[mrliampep5i]

[mgzt190plus]

He prefers to be called Tomi and he's a great guy. Although making this add did open him up to the "Lovey" world of filming LOL. But he's none the worse for it I am happy to say. And now HBOS is now LBG, no more single stars :-(

[WobblyWallers]

[kayn31]

snakeboarding....

[autounion64]

his head is massive!!!! LOL

[bustergaa]

this dude is so hot and im a guy...

[xbabe82517]

Right, as a Lloyds Banking Group exployee (previously HBOS), I can categorically confirm that the Halifax brand and certain branches will remain. Obviously some branches will have to close because we wouldn't be allowed to have four or five branches belonging to the same company in the same town. Lloyds already confirmed this back in December! It is 'HBOS' that no longer exists - both Halifax and Bank Of Scotland will remain but are now owned by Lloyds... FACT!

[jolley4671]

lol

[joljolloj]

ur an asshole u shit hed halifax is gona be gone in a few months

[mgzt190plus]

You fucking arse wipe, keep up with current events, it's Lloyds Banking Group now and the Halifax brand is being kept.

[vgtr4]

it is already gone now

[mgzt190plus]

Tomi, you are then man :-)

HBOS colleague.

[alfapresley]

he actually did sing the song in a studio first and then mimed to on shoot day!

[Longboardsinglefin]

How much cash have Halifax blown on the most overblown, tedious, piss poor, poundstretcher quality adverts (continuously) on TV? Im surprised they havent bankrupted themselves. They have bankrupted themselves? GOOD! THERE IS A GOD! Any chance of a copycat suicide epidemic sweeping their karaoke singer squad, Lord?

[Freenbean]

Lesson of the day; When the bank offers high interest on their savings accounts, it's because they have a liquidity problem and need to raise cash pronto.

[alexsau91]

why the hell have Halifax chosen a Chinnese man to mime this song? not enough ENGLISH people to choose from?

[pk3r72owns]

whats wong with chinese people ?

[alexsau91]

nothing's wrong with chineese people but the UK isnt china, we have enough english people who can actually sing if not mime like he was.

[AnimeCobalt]

So I guess all British adverts featuring every other ethnic group, be it Chinese, Indian, Nigerian, Swedish, Algerian, Arabic, Spanish, Korean, Russian etc. person should be removed then?

[alexsau91]

You do know all but Arabic and possibly Indian are not ethic groups but Nationality's. so really there isnt any thing else i can say.

[AnimeCobalt]

You know what I meant so stop nitpicking what I said. And I know what an ethnic group is. Do you have a problem with me being an ethnic minority in Britain?

[alexsau91]

when i said that i didnt 'know' you were an ethnic minotry, you cant fucking call it nitpicking how the hell could you class Spanish and Swedish people as ethnic minorotys? now if i have offended you why dont you take out a compensation claim, curtasiy of the British Tax payer

[AnimeCobalt]

I meant when you bothered to backchat me by saying that Indian and Arabic are nationalities. Also I never said Spanish and Swedish were ethnic minorities though they are anyways unless you think "White" denotes an ethnic group. Lol you don't offend me, your ignorance does. Don't try and guilt me; my parents have been paying tax for 30 years now since they came to this country.

[alexsau91]

But now ive looked at your profile i can see that your a member of the UK's ethnic minorys so i can see why you would say what you said, and why you don't know what an ethic group is.

[AnimeCobalt]

"nothing's wrong with chineese people but the UK isnt china, we have enough english people who can actually sing if not mime like he was."

So you think Chinese people who hold British citizenship and have the same rights as other White British shouldn't be allowed to perform in adverts? Its an advert ffs. Christ I didn't know there are still ignorant people who think like this.

[alexsau91]

Okay not miming 'lip-syncing' is a better term and your obviacly far stupider that i first thought if you thought the UK loved its immigrants, Ever herd of the BNP?, and these so called 'ignorant' people are way over 90% of the population but are not racists, if you open a news paper you always get some immigrant moaning about something. We just dont want to lose our national identity by changing every thing to a minority especially a disstant minority like chineese which is below 0.05%.

[AnimeCobalt]

lol, you still haven't provided me a reason why you want an English person to perform in this advert rather then a Chinese person. I'm sure Thomas Yau can speak fine in English. If an English actor was made to perform I'm certain they would ask him/her to lip sync too.

I'm very well aware of the BNP. So over 90% of the population in the UK are racist and don't want a Chinese man to perform in an advert because he is Chinese?

[AnimeCobalt]

And lol, losing your national identity. The Chinese are probably the most quiet minority in Britain. I have never heard any Chinese on the news wanting to change anything in Britain, ever. If you're babbling on about other minorities, I don't really care. Also, your statistics are a little distorted. Chinese make up around 0.7% of the UK.

PS and I never said the UK loves immigrants. I was born in this country and I am proud to be a citizen here.

[JusThtGirlSabrina]

lmaooo this makes mee laff sooo muchhh

[hannababyx]

i love this advert.

[StevieDcricket]

I met him today at the westfield shopping, he was there, have pics and all

[alexsau91]

OMG did you get his autograph? sounds so exiting, ''sarcasm''. He isnt even singing, and he's going to lose it all when lloyds buys the HBOS, the scottish aint gona like losing there last actually scottish bank to an english comapany.

[tomitheoverlord2]

thats fucking freaky, i got the same name as him!! im gonna go halifax and demand some sorta deal like 50% interest gross

[Randomlad12]

[markos44444]

[johniengland]

Thomas is soooo cute...... a good reason to move to Leeds!

[davelandsberg]

Listen to the first few seconds of the advert.. I know he's saying 'Current Account', but he rushes it slightly, and it sounds like something rude. See if you agree.

[DontStopMeNow11]

halifax really need to drop howard

[Sukoshidake]

Omg!! I love this advert. And I love Thomas! He's amazing! How can you hate him?!

<33333333

[mark0776829]

Thomas has freaky hair , is that hairstyle a joke?...because it looks really stupid .

Thomas is short with a large head already - that big hair style makes him look stupid...like one of the oompa loompas from charley choc factory.

[handbuiltbyrobots1]

i met thomas in croydon! he gave me a free apple juice and popcorn haha and took a photo with me and my mate :D

Triskets69

[BleedingWrists6661]

THE FLOOD HAS BEEN HERE

[hiic]

we met this badman in a brand new halifax branch in brighton today. they gave us free popcorn and we put our arms around him and took a photo. howard was meant to be there but he was a chicken and he didnt arrive we got thomas instead, which in esscence was a better deal overall. we also got free glasses which magnified it made you a bit fuzzy but you DID look like the howard brown, you know the one off the halifax adverts. signed turner newmeir -drury and lewis nicholls.

[ahxholla]

I met Thomas in croydon!!!
