What was the name of the product that used be advertised on radio as 'Its a quare name but great shtuff' ?

Now that's a blast from the past, Cheno unction, some sort of barrier cream if I remember correctly . I remember the ads but can't remember seeing it about the place even though i grew up on a farm.

Thats the stuff! Always on the radio at sunday lunchtime along with the ad for a scour remedy, just as you were about to tuck into the dinner! Then Ian Paisley on the news giving out!

Giraffes have them

Yes, they are what are often incorrectly referred to as horns or antlers on Giraffe.

Was a class of dinosaur like the big lumbering plant eaters I think. Is? Maybe the likes of elephants of today. Might have something to do with their minimal leg articulation .

Ah now you are being too kind Rube.
It seems a class of dinosaur was the only thing I got right. You know I was thinking of the big innocent beasties not the predators.

What are the following words referring to:

King, Feast, Sky, Ocean, Home, Beauty, Fast, War

This had me baffled all morning, but being eight I eventually thought of the true planets.

In the order below they could, with some amount of latitude in the reasoning and said reasoning varying from planet to planet, represent Mercury to Neptune. I'll admit the logic for some is a bit strained though.





Fast
Beauty
Home

Oh, nice one! I was baffled by that, although once you say it...

I had to look up the why of Uranus and Saturn, had forgotten all about Saturnalia and would have associated him with Time rather than feast.

Agreed. It's 's a bit strained to make then fit, so probably wrong.

Rubecula

Mercury messenger of the gods so is fast with his winged shoes and helmet. AKA Hermes.

Venus aka Aphrodite, goddess of beauty.

Home is Earth obviously

Mars = god of war.

Jupiter the largest of the planets and therefore the King.

Saturn as said is the feast of Saturnalia

Uranus Lord of the skies. He was the son of Gaia, the earth

Neptune the marine lord often depicted as a merman and aka Poseidon the king of the seas.


Pluto aka Hades lord of the underworld and companion is Charon the ferryman who for two coins (or classicaly one coin) would ferry the departed souls across the river Styx. (Charon was number two in the hierarchy of the underworld along with Cerberus the hound of Hades.

.

What was the name of the coin charged by Charon?

P.S. I hadn't heard of two coins before. Was that for business class travel?

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

The fee was a single Obolos coin. I may have spelt that wrong but the fee was only one.

It is surmised that the two coins (one on each eye) was original method, however they were easy for the poverty stricken thieves could steal them from the corpse, so one coin inside the mouth became more popular.

Brilliant information, I never knew the name myself.

Well, was I right , or did I over read the thing?

looksee

Corkgirl hasn't been back but I'd say the consensus seemed to be that you were right (well Rube and Samaris agreed anyway!) Take it away!

garancafan

I think you win the Obolos (not to be construed as telling you to go to Hell!)

All their national flags are red, white and blue, just like the Drumcullen GAA colours.
