'Bird's Eye Potato Wa-affles - they're wa-afully versatile!'

(Unfortunately this is so ingrained in my psyche that a walk down the freezer aisle can still trigger it off.)

And let's not even go near 'Mini cheddars, mini-cheddars...'

Advertising jingles - aaarrrhggghhhhh!

No, I don't know that one, Cat-woman.

"Nothing sparkles like the Babycham!"

"I bet he drinks Carling Black Label"

"Heinekin refreshes the prats other beers can't retch"

"Courage Best beats all the rest"

"My goodness, my guinness!"

"Drinka Pinta Milka Day"

Thisssss is Bentford Nylons!
(Remember the static cling of nylon bedclothes in the 60s and 70s?)

"Hey! *I'll* have a babycham!

</>

- loved the typo in the Heineken jingle! Or was it intentional?

What did the ad used to mean that went

"So we say "out of water - on with Nulon,
Nulon hand cream - Stay away!"

We could never figure it out.

It WAS intentional, Heineken was never my favourite beer. I'm just glad someone spotted it, most people just skim stuff without really reading it.

i much prefer carlsberg

My fav add was the aliens, for mash get smash (que alien laughter )

*While watching Stars In Their Eyes* Have they ever heard him/her sing?? They sound like a cat being run over, thats not what sounds like!!

The Green Cross Code man..... Wasn't he the voise of Darth Vadar? He shoulda used that voice, that'd have kids paying attention!

chalk squeaking on a blackboard (Has this been mentioned? Sorry for the duplicate)

"Say what you see"

*I'll have a 'p' (pee) please bob......remember Blockbuster compulsive viewing after school.........NOT

He WAS Darth Vader not just his voice........David Prosser I think??? or something like that!

I think it was David Prowse?

ty Bubba.........knew it began with a 'p'

He should have worn the outfit too then! If Darth Vadar told me to look both ways before crossing the street, I'd have been paying attention!!

I got the Blockbusters theme in my head now.... Oh well, it was songs from Les Mis. yesterday!

What was the catchphrase from 3-2-1 with Dusty Bin, its been bugging me.

The ragmans trumpet and the cry of "Any old rags" when what they really were after was tellys ,fridges,cars,laptops..etc..
and all exchanged for a poxy balloon or two if you were very very lucky....


-Oh and also Simon Cowells work of genius..Hearsay!

Howzabout that then guys and gals... open brackets, close brackets...now then,now then... uncle Ted.

In an odd way, I sort of miss Jimmy's batherings during his top twenty countdowns on Sunday lunchtimes. Was this radio 1 or 2?

HOTOL, that is so
