hamster Posted 18 February, 2009 Share Posted 18 February, 2009 Fosters ads were brilliant, but the one that I really want to see again seems to have disappeared into the abyss. The one where Paul Hogan speaks to the blokes bait digging on Deal beach. They tell him that they're digging the cahnnel tunnel and he replies that he hopes it goes further than the bridge, camera pans to Deal pier. I laughed every time I saw it. I was born just yards from where it was filmed. If anyone can hunt it down I will buy them a beer. For now though my contribution is: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamster Posted 18 February, 2009 Share Posted 18 February, 2009 Just found this one. If you are under 20 years old this is what used to happen at midnight on BBC1. The over 40's, stand up and be proud. Brilliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to tune in specially on my way to work of a morning just to listen to it. Great music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Landrew Posted 18 February, 2009 Share Posted 18 February, 2009 I've been doing a little research of late on a few Saints players. I just have to include this one. He may not have been a Saint when this was done, but we get the message loud and clear: If only we had a manager like Cloughie in his prime too.

JohnnyFartPants Posted 19 February, 2009 Share Posted 19 February, 2009 And another classic. hands up who's mums used to dance with the cleaner to it.#-o Years ago I was working in the RAF and my Sgt was sitting down at his desk and I told him some alternative lyrics along the line of, "Do the shake n vac and pull your pizz flaps back, do the shake and vac and pull your pizz flaps back, cos when your vag is clean, I'll lick your spleen, do the shake and vac and pull your pizz flaps back." It wasn't really that funny, but what was funny was that we had an old woman civilian admin assistant and unbeknown to my Sgt, she was standing right behind him as he really went for it, complete with lewd actions. How I laughed as she looked horrified, which made my Sgt go for it more, thinking I was finding his routine funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
