Popular demand dictates we have a sticky containing links to 1980's retro sites (cheers to Bateman for suggesting it).

Here are my initial suggestions:

Keep adding them as you find 'em!

The 1980's were diggy!

Well, I was counting on being able to move Pigman II and Blitz Molloy's posts from this thread but it appears my vBulletin skillz aren't up to it, so here are their suggestions:

Blitz_Molloy suggests:

www.x-entertainment.com

It's popup heavy these days and the archive with the really good old stuff is offline but its still quite fun. Very american but inventively written none the less.

Pigman II recommends:

http://www.yesterdayland.com/ EDIT - Link is dead as of 14/4/2003.

I think http://www.yesterdayland.com/ is an excellent retro site. Lots of info on the toys / cartoons of the 80's but also covers stuff like movies, pop music and arcade machines of the time too.

http://www.80snostalgia.com is great for old 80s tv shows

Part 2

> THE NATIONAL SAFETY ADS:
>
> "Where's Grandad?". He's obviously in the f@ckin <mailto:f@ckin '
> river seeing as you left his chair teetering on the edge and the
> stereo on full blast so he'd have to get up and try and turn it off.
> Where there's a will there's a way.
>
> "Do you hear Brian?". "Ah yeah - here he is inside this barrel of
> water. The noisy little bollix. Let's cover the thing over in
> chicken wire so he'll never get out. That'll shut him up".
>
> The child lying down face first in the paddling pool with his feet
> hanging out over the edge. "Remember - it's possible to drown in only
> a few inches of water".
>
> "John - Did ya put the cat out?". Poor ould John. He wasn't too
> bright at all at all. Not only did he let his cigar fall onto the
> cushion and then onto the carpet, he also let the television overheat
> and had to pour a vase of water into it (could have been electrocuted
> - but that's a different ad altogether). He didn't think to put the
> spark guard on the fire (feckin' eejit - sure everyone knows to put
> the spark guard on), he didn't close all the doors before he went to
> bed, he forgot (AGAIN) to put the fookin' cat out, and last but not
> least - he married that fat lazy ould bitch "Maura" and let her walk
> all over him. The first nineties man.
>
> Electricity: The guy who got electrocuted by his drill 'cos he plugged
> the wires directly into the sockets in the wall without a plug
> (Iiijitt). Then the poor arsehole who tried to save him and got killed
> when he touched him. (A bigger Iijitt). The kid who climbed up a pylon
> to retrieve his frizbee.
>
> "Ooh me Achin' Back!"
>
> Hearing Protection: The guy who didn't wear hearing protection at
> work. When he went down to the pub to listen to a comedian and all he
> could hear was a squeaky mumble. (I personally used to find the
> squeaky mumble quite funny myself. I thought it was part of the
> comedy).
>
> Physical Fitness: How about the poor fat oul' cow who just wasn't
> quite "fit enough to be in time to catch that bus". I always thought
> she wore too much make up. It made her look cheap. You didn't have to
> be super fit like "The Carrolls and the Treacys" though. You just had
> to be able to catch that bus.
>
> "Oh me Achin' Back!"
>
> Water Safety: The family at the beach who did just about everything
> wrong. They didn't wait an hour before going swimming, they went into
> the water with tyres and lie-lows and they didn't wear suncream.
> Admittedly suncream's a bit of waste of money when you go to the beach
> in Ireland but Irish people have been known to lie out all day in
> attempt to get burnt even when the sky is black and it's pissing rain.
>
> Rabies: "Rabies Kills. Agonisingly!" (Followed by a picture of a guy
> in a hospital bed with a big gash in his arm and saliva all around his
> mouth. He personified being killed agonisingly). Always inform the
> local authorities "if you see a dog being smuggled in or coming ashore

>
> Vigilance!
>
> Will keep rabies....
>
> Out of Ireland!"
>
> The nightie and the number: "IS-148. Sounds like a Robot doesn't it.
> But if it doesn't have this IS-148 - don't buy it. Otherwise the
> nightie could go up in smoke - and your child with it". I wonder how

> the ad tried to put it to the test by God . Putting her hairbrush over
> the fireplace and then playing with a box of matches. "Kids are
> divils. But sure wouldn't ya die if anythin' happened to them".

Part 3

> THE ROAD SAFETY ADS:

>
> "Hey! After him!" The 3 boyos cycle along the road like Dublin's
> answer to the Hell's Angels. A car stops short of flattening one of

>
> The one where the "experienced" driver spotted the feet of the little
> girl in the red sandals (mmm) under the parked caravan as she was
> about to run out onto the road.
>
> Dangerous Parking: The guy with the beard who parked his truck (lorry)
> on the corner and headed off to bed to read a book. Then he heard a
> crash outside and threw his book on the floor, tossed back the sheets
> and ran out to see what happened. "Remember: You don't have to be
> sitting in your vehicle to cause an accident"
>
> Drunk Driving: The guy in the pub sitting in front of a glass of
> whiskey. He's about to take a drink when the barman holds up his keys
> in front of him and warns him of the perils of drinking and driving.
> He asks him does he really want to take that drink. The punter sees

>
> " If you don't walk sober................your feet are killing you".
>
> The ad where they compared Drink Driving to loading 2 big red bullets

> The safe cross code. Remember 1. Look for a safe place. 2. Don't hurry

> That's the safe cross code. KNOW! THE! SAFE! CROSS! CODE! Know the

>
> "Too close to da rode. You'll get - ROLLED OVER" (Judge)
>
> "Ya hook around the other car!" (Ever tried it. Bloody dangerous I'll
> tell ya. God bless roundabouts).

great stuff but how come there are NO Irish sites for this stuff
R Logue's TV room with the Wanderly Wagon page hardly counts

Got to ask you where you got that mail. I came up with all that stuff about 6 years ago when I had little to do at work but come up with stuff like that. It sent a shiver down my spine to stumble accross it again so many years later.

I'd love to know the chain that got it to you.
