Some random nostalgia...

maquiladora

The Girl From Tomorrow : Ah, fond memories of this sci fi series from down 'unda. Remember Silverthorn's gun? (Oh, for 10 bonus points can you name the aussie/nz tv show currently on irish tv screens where the said Silverthorn now plays a doctor?)

Interceptor : Yes, you know this, it was Treasure Hunt's evil twin! Running around the english countryside with a locked backpack with infra-red receptors on the back while being chased by a hammy actor dressed in black, zoomin around in a cool chopper with a gun-like infra-red projector and a pet eagle!

Pajo and the Salty Frog / Pajo and the Salty Frog in Space : Ah, the heady days of youth television on RTE. Will we ever see the likes of this again? We can but hope.

Red Lemonade : Did the red colouring make it taste different? Logic tells me no, but for some reason I remember it tasting different. Also, was this an irish only beverage? I recall being on holiday in London around 1990 and asking for a glass of red lemonade, got all I got was a blank stare, and a few minuates later I had to settle for a 7up.

yup its not a very healthy drink! the red dye was one of those really bad E126 or something(cant remember the E it was) but thats why you can only get it in ireland!

was that Taylor Keith(TK) red lemonade? that was pretty horrible stuff, but its all we got cos it was cheapest at the time. Used to nearly dye the bottom of the glasses so imagine what it did to your stomach

That Silverthorn guy also played the baddie (think the name was Preston Preston or something like that) in "Young Einstein". Remember that? Yahoo Serious? Anybody? My little brother used to love that film and anytime we'd rent out a video he always wanted us to get out "Young Einstein" again! I must have seen it a thousand times thanks to him. Was a pretty funny film, though. Remember him sitting in the tin bath playing the violin? And blowing up the shed in a massive mushroom cloud, then coming running up the hill, all blackened and hair all over the place and singed, to his father with a pint in his hand and going, "Look Dad! Bubbles!", after finally managing to makes bubbles in beer? Classic!

Young Einstein was great, my older brother was obsessed with it. I remember him plucking one string of the guitar and getting a massive shock out of it our something hehe. I remember the bowl on his head while getting his hair cut
