It's not WHAT you know,

Pet

It's who...

So for this reason I bring you this thread.


Full of important info for all.


Yes, very important info (not stalling here or anything).



I need an Oxegen camping ticket, will pay €180 with no arguments, if you know anyone selling, give me their number..


Please don't move this thread either.

punka

sh-sh-sh-shoe people! not really but seem to dimly remember the theme tune.
raggy dolls - do you mean rosie and jim? bit after my time but i used to watch it when i was at home sick from school. lost its brilliance after they got rid of the paedo-tastic old guy and replaced him with some bint who painted pictures.

snorlax

i heard bosco was on the tv tonight! remember transformers/ james bond junior?

punka

james bond junior was ****ing ace! me and my friend used to play it in school but he always made me be i.q.

It must be your age. Alzheimers and all that. Some FFers are sound, but only outside their FF burden.

That'd have been kool, if for nothing else than the ****s n giggles

remember transformers

Is it not the greatest cartoon/show ever?

james bond junior?

O yeah, not bad, bit on the stupid side, but compared to modern cartoons it was excellent(we were really spoilt back in the day...)

Not according to E4 top 100 cartoons of all time: It's about 30-odd..

The lyrics to the theme tune of that are second only to captain planet..

Bond, James Bond Junior.
No one can stop him but S.C.U.M always tries,
Young Bond cuts through each web of spies.
He learned the game from his uncle James
Now he's heir to the name.
James Bond.

Bond, James Bond Junior.
look out hes coming through,
he's got a job to do.
while he rescues the girl!!!
James Bond Junior chases S.C.U.M.
Around the World!"

Kevin_rc_ie

yeah it wasn't good as in thundercats/bravestar/..... but compared to dragonball z and that crap it's very watchable.

Best Cartoon Ever Besides the obvious ones....Homemovies .

My faith in E4 being able to decide the top 100 cartoons is lacking....Transformers is the greatest. QED.

#1 The Simpsons
#2 Tom and Jerry

Actually its not that i don't even trust them, but this list is laffable, there is no way in hell those are the top 3 cartoons of all time.

Class i was going to try do the theme tune by heart, but i spose this is better...

They should show re-runs of Transformers to show kids today what cartoons are supposed to be like

desertcircus

To return to what the thread was for a while...

I know this is cheating and shouldn't be counted for the purposes of counting who you've seen, but while in the GMB I've met:
Clare Short
Niall Quinn
Newt Gingrich
Col. Tim Collins
Neil & Christine Hamilton
Jack Charlton
FW de Klerk
and others.

I forgot - also met the Edge, and Bono sat two seats from me for the Salman Rushdie interview last year.

So true, wtf is with this pokemon ****e and the spawn of other cartoons i can't even name...they are all so bad... whats that one with the cards? looks like they are playing magic the gathering in all the episodes....

Moving back off topic there Luke...

Does anyone else remember Battletech? Big mechwarrior show? Might have been 3-D, their home planet was somerset or something. Always had these little mechs kicking the crap out of them. God damn I loved that show..

Nietzschean

Yeah i remember it...twas kinda stupid, but violent enough to be watchable
I always just recon'd it was a ripoff of transformers.........

How about duck tales? Stuey , luie, and emm the other one, then grandpa scruge, uncle donal n co.......
(i say this because i took a week off college a while back to watch it...)

Then there was ring raiders...they were class, i had loads of them, and some aircraft carrier type things from it twas kool...

Anyone remember Children of the Sun? 'children of the sun, our journey's just begun, something, something, something....city of gold'. Strange cartoon, there were aztec buildings and some sort of aeroplane type thing in it.

Or, 'ulysess' (sp? brain fried today), about this guy with a beard and a ship full of people in strange stasis like sleep, with a little red robot. 'uly-seas-seas-sease....travelling through the galaxease-ease-ease'

it's sort of strange how well i can remember the theme tunes to cartoons i watched years ago, but currently equations desert me...

you mean mysterious cities of gold. what a show. i never saw the last episode but apparently they did in fact find the mysterious cities of gold they were searching for.

ah, the 80's. what a time to be alive.

What was that eco-program where the elements of earth, wind, water and love joined together to combat evil?

Or that children's show where these bunch of continent-wide kid-detectives went all around Europe solving crime? I remember they came to Dublin once.

OOH and that new-agey kinda sci-fi program where these people from the '90's were transported back to the middle ages somehow? Spellbound or something I think it was called.

And let us not forget that quiz show with Ray D'Arcy? Jungle World or something? And the short-lived follow-up, the crazy strategy-game where a question right resulted in a place on this grid, which you had to fight over for control of.

And have ever, ever felt like this? When strange things happen, are you going round the twist? .

Kevin_rc_ie

jeez what a bunch of half memories. black board jungle was the d'arcy thing.

Spellbinder? And they had those suits that launched fireball lightning thingies? That was great.

Of course. I have magical underwear you know.

that show was just weird. random austrailian stuff. not as good as pugwash/pugwall?. he had a rock band. he had an annoying little sister.

ApeXaviour

What the hell was the beef with the "heart" dude in Captain planet??

I mean the rest of them had fine powers.. moving earth and making tornadoes and whatnot, burning and drowning pollution baddies. But the little heart dude.. what's his uber-amazing power???.. Talking to monkeys.

The kid is useless, he should just kill himself or work in a zoo or something..

Kevin_rc_ie

what the fook? kill himself? that's a bit harsh.

i wish i could talk to monkeys.
