    ...Does anyone remember Anything Goes, the Irish one with Aonghus McNally??.../QUOTE]

    That was class. Used to watch every Saturday. 9.30am in front of the tv with a bowl of corn flakes every week. Tom Grattan's War, Mr Ed, Little Rascals. Can't remember what else. Mary Fitzgerald (?) making arts and crafts look easy. Never quite worked out as good when I tried to make it.

    Then Daktari I think was on afterwards just before Sports Stadium.

    Mary's make and do it was called or something wasn't it? And battle of the planets cartoon, and then they brought out battle of the planets bars, queuing up at the ice cream van with your 10p so you could buy two of them :D

    When will I, when will I be famous - I can't answer, I can't answer that! (All here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szWkAaD00j0)



    Not forgeting their dire 'Cat among the pigeons' and 'Silent Night'.

    Gay as Christmas, as the fella says. But in this regard the 80s firmly belonged to this fella: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sltrzG6_-zo

    Remember the cailíní used to be mad about this little fella:

    Then they went mad about this pint-sized guy:

    This guy, Howard Jones, produced some brilliant songs, up there with Paul Young. I saw him in the Olympia in Dublin about 10 years ago.

    Chesney Hawkes was a ladies favourite for a while in the early 90s from what I remember.

    These sort of threads just remind me that as of last year we have adults who have never experianced a second of the 80's...

    its rather depressing when I think about it.

    And then there was:

    Reaganism, Thatcherism

    MAD (mutual assured destruction)

    Perhing II's and Cruise Missiles in my back garden

    Chernobyl

    "When the wind blows" http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/25/RogerWaters_WTWB.JPG

    On the subject of Soda Streams, I can still hear that noise of the gas filling the bottle in my head to this day!
    You put the bottle of water into the SodaStream and then fizzed it up, and then the flavouring, but if the flavouring was in before you fizzed it up, I think it used to over-fizz (to use the technical term) and it would overflow and destroy the place. I experimented with it... :D
