had a laugh with my bro at the weekend trying to rememer all the little characters on Bosco?

Sile Seilidhe
Gregory Grainneog
The MacSpuds

Anyone remember any others.....we had others but was a drink fuelled conversation so the braincells used for the conversation are now dead!!!

Never mind Bosco, I remember Tayto Crisps when they had a little twist of salt in blue paper in the bag. You opened up the bag, fished out the twist of paper and emptied the salt in, then you closed the bag and shook it to distribute the salt over the crisps.

sanncoo · 12-10-2004 10:40am

Don't remember them but do remember cherry coke the first time round!

Snickers as marathons, 5p bags of taytos and 1/2 penny sweets......

A strange sense of "how the fcuk do I know this" has come over me but I think the line was "come with me through the magic door".

sanncoo · 13-10-2004 10:19am

I agree....I think it was come with me thru the magic door

sanncoo · 13-10-2004 1:44pm

Loved the tongue twisters...used to try and copy them....

Re the marla men, can't remember their names at all!!

I remember one story they told about a magpie stealing a mother's ring because it was shiny. Hated magpies after that!

It's crazy the things that stick with us. Or perhaps it's the crazy things that stick with us!!!!!! :eek:

I remember Pat Ingoldsby had a show where if it was your birthday, you'd roar your name at your TV at home and then it would appear on screen, or something like that?

Any one else?

sanncoo · 18-10-2004 10:09am
