Sminky shorts
The late Bob Gallico, yes THAT Bob Gallico, sold my parents Weatherglaze aluminium windows in the 70s. Then he became famous on the original Radio Nova. Then when that went tits up he went back to being a salesman, and sold my aged mother, who should have known better, a dodgy very expensive alarm system in the 90s. He was a great salesman to be fair, knew exactly which familial buttons to push, make siblling 1 guilt trip sibling 2, etc…

"Football legends!"
Use to love a fat frog back in the day…..
Anyone?
loved a chunky choc
they're waffly versatile
I did not have sexual relations with that woman.
The Cool, clean hero.
Had a catchy tune on the ad too, if I remember correctly
Christ. Some years back due to some other retro shît, I looked up "Izal" and found a thread about a UK boarding school where they were "reminiscing" about how abusive the teachers were. Uncomfortable bum wipe was the least of their worries alas. Same thing was common here, with the added bonus of violence- and sex-crazed Catholic priests.
In the late 70s my grandparents (both born 1900) had a soft bum roll for visitors and the "greaseproof paper" Jeyes 1-ply for themselves. Stick to what you know… stick being the operative word! 🤮
used to work in a caravan park this was standard issue. Anything else got stolen
Crisps!
The Steve Silvermint TV adverts were voiced by the aforementioned, Bob Gallico.
Great to see these again.
Did the Tayto Salt & Vinegar containers have eyes and a mouth at one point (1970s) ?
They did in the animated ad, don't think they ever did on the bag.
Don't forget the cheaper option, 2p per pack when Tayto were 3p.
I'd totally forgotten about those ads and the anthropomorphic salt and vinegar container characters. I can remember when I was very young wondering why you couldn't see their faces on the packets.
Probably the worst crisps I’ve ever eaten. They tasted “burnt”
I loved these as a kid, although whatever blue colouring that was used in them would turn your poop blue. It’s probably been banned by the EU since.

I don't buy cds I did not know now that's what they call music was still going I don't go to record shops since hmv closed down
Postman just delivered the new one. Good disc 2.
Music these days etc.
my first mobile
.…
Hah, I remember blowing pounds of credit on my first day setting up a greeting etc. because I didn't know there was a freefone number to do that
Calls were 70p a minute peak / 50p off peak (IIRC) and text messaging wasn't available for about a year, then it was 20p a pop! 😮 this was still slightly cheaper than Eircell. Digifone had way cooler handsets then too. A Nokia 5110 or some Ericsson POS with a one line display… no contest.

…and Sally O’Brien and the way she might look at ya……,🍺
