Great things about the 1980s

...also around in the 70's but i only discovered it in the 80'S, Crusha fizzy drinks with that polar bear on the adverts, tasted so differant at the time to other sodas...

I was going to start a new thread for this, but it might fit in here...

I was watching the Cowboy Bebop Movie on Sci-fi yesterday afternoon, and in one of the breaks there was that Aquafresh ad with the family all brushing their teeth together, animated in a vaguely Raymond Briggs-esque style...

That's got to be at least 20 years old, none of the othe rrproducts or services in that break even existed when that ad was made...

Is that the longest serving  TV advert ever?

Raymond Briggs was a good thing about the 80s
oh and Emotional Rescue was released in 1980 (that's enough 80s Stones-Ed)
the way cappuchino and caffe latte spread everywhere was good

I was glad I found this one.

I use to have it on video tape.

It's just abit naughty, though.

:: "what about watching rocky IV in the cinema and everyone cheering and shouting like it was real."

Wasn't that the weirdest phenomenon?  Even up in Inverness, that happened - you know, Inverness being right on the cusp of civilisation and all that.  (You hearing this, Amstor?)

But yeah - that's one of the most cheesy movies in existance, politically black and white, yet at the time (and maybe at that age) it just engendered this tribal mentality.  We actually ate the one russian kid at our school the next day. *





* Well, okay, that's a lie.
