A child's got more bones than a grown up's got?

God almighty-the memories here. An ad that was practically drilled into us. Any other old ads that ye remember?

I was actually quite frightened of that wooden man when I was a kid.

Yeah I miss that ad come Christmas time. Alan Hughes is the lad there too.
I remember BellX1 doing a version of the song live a few years ago and it was class.

I can see why

Anyone remember the beatbox? Used to be one RTE2 on a Sunday morning and also on 2fm at the same time. If you were mad enough to have a radio and a TV in the same room you’d often mute the TV and listen to Ian Dempsey on the radio to make sure the radio and the TV were simultaneous - mad stuff altogether

You Duffry fellas were always too quick for me padjo

Keep guessin

Ah I’m only testing ye, we know well where you’re from

Not an ad but a favourite show of mine back in the day theme tune wise

Jaysus some great memories there with those 1987 ads… I remember nearly every one of them. I suppose that came from only having two channels and no remote control at the time, you were practically tied in to watching the ads. They really packed a load of ads in aswell, loads of real short ones rather than today’s little mini tv programmes. Like an ad break on Setanta today.
I always remember thinking with that Timotei ‘you can wash your hair as often as you like’. Who the fuck would want to wash their hair more than they’d have to? (ie once a week when you were havin a bath)
