    there was loads of those public service type adds, you can drown in three inches of water,

    or don't lose yopur frisbee up an esb pylon and think it's a good idea to climb up and get it back.

    or for unplugging appliances at night,
    "John, did you put the cat out"

    used to hate that.

    jeez yeah, that was a great ad actually, ran for ages, i can still see where he's running with the other dogs and the lip (do dogs have lips) turn down and he goes wild.

    and as we're on kind of farming ones,

    do you remember triple A, golden maverick, with the cowboys?

    A classic was also the ad for ESB with the song in the background "Im think im going back to the things I know so well" this guy driving in his car, passing a nightclub or something, and ending up down his ma's place.....

    or the Lyons Tea ad with all dem minstrel lads "Drink Lyons Tea, do-do-do-do-do-do, Lyons Tea, do-do-do-do-do-do, Lyons Tea, do-do-do-do-do-do, Lyons the Quality Tea!!"

    or even better MAURICE PRATT and them Quinnsworth ads!!! Where is that man now?

    Almost as bad as Mailbag, with your unfunny host Arthur Murphy. Crap. Dire. Horrific. Letters about RTE on an RTE programme.
    Ah yeah remember Arthur Murphy and the stupid theme music.... yeah memories! Speaking of crap game shows, anyone remember Rapid Roulette and the mighty Where In The World?

    Never heard of Rapid Roulette but Where In The World was a classic of the genre! What was the name of your woman that presented it?

    I actually enjoyed the song, "Alien Invasion ( What on earth are we gonna do?)

    Thought they should have released it.
    No Elvis, Beatles or the Rolling Stones
    In 1977
