Ronseal ad from the 90's I think. I prefer the wooden floor one myself. "..and I'm stamping on it!" *stamp, stamp*

Does anyone else remeber the ad for washing powder with the lines "One speck of dust on that dress and..." It was about a girl borrwoing a dress for a party from her mam and then she gets tomato juice spilled on it and has to go home and wash it? Can anyone remember the washing powder?

Hi Euskadi, welcome to the Retro forum. Only seeing your post now, but I see you have also found the Television forum in the meantime, which is probably more useful for this type of thing. Hope you found the show, it was a great documentry

Euskadi

Hi there,I'm new here so I hope I'm at the right place.There is a show on the RTE player thats called the SUMMER OF 69 that I would like to download,but the rte website won't let me.Any idea on how I can get myself a copy of this?I am not one of the fortunate ones to be a member of irishtorrents.com.If I am not in the right place here perhaps you can redirect me or refer me to the right place
thank you

Just to get back to the ad featured in the thread title and the aforementioned Robocop connection, It's weird but I actually feel really bummed out listening to now. Not only cos it's a downbeat piece and reminds me of the distant past but also because it's the music that played after you DIED in the game.

I know exactly what you are talking about

I also had the game.

I also had that really odd kinder toy. I remember it from when I was around 3 or 4.

Hi Everyone,

Chris here, from ESB Customer Supply Section in the 'Talk to' forum.

We recently put all our old ad's from the 80's in one place, and I thought there might be some people here who would like a blast from the past.

Used to love this ad.

Everyone should know this...

Wow,was trawling the net for that "devil and angel ad",first time seeing it in 20 years.

Just to get back to the ad featured in the thread title and the aforementioned Robocop connection, It's weird but I actually feel really bummed out listening to now. Not only cos it's a downbeat piece and reminds me of the distant past but also because it's the music that played after you DIED in the game. So everytime I hear the music it reminds me of failure and "game over" It's amazing that a piece of music can have that sort of effect on you even almost exactly 21 years on (I remember playing this game along with Last Ninja 2 around the period April 1989 - strange how everything back then is still so vivid)!

Incidentally the piece was composed by Jonathan Dunn and apparently it's the gameboy version that appears in the ad itself (not amstrad464 or c64 as mentioned by some people previously).

Here's a long version of the ad if anyones interested ....

I think it's actually quite a good tune!

Yeah. That's probably the first time I've seen the advert in about 25 years and I still get the tune stuck my head every so often.

The animated ad with the nice dog sitting in by the fire, then he gets let out and along with his mates kills a load of sheep. Late 80's I think, my hazy memory doesn't recall exactly what it was for....dog safety or something along those lines I think. My abiding memory of it was having the sh1t scared out of me every time it was on.

Does anyone know what year this was shown? I remember it well but it looks really old.

Living under an extremely tyrannical regime? Don't worry: a cool new computer brand (and a chick with a hammer) will sort that out...

I've never seen that ad before - but it's actually pretty good! Not too heavyhanded but still gets the message across.
