I could do with a D - Brooke Bond D

Back at home, she enjoys another cup of Brooke Bond D, surrounded by other food shopping on the table after a trip to the supermarket; she pats the box of teabags on the top. The kids play piggyback with the mother in the living room with animated and exaggerated...

There is at least one particular advert which was mostly on ITV region screens between around 1986 and 1988 which I found rather exciting, yet its jingle could be annoying at the same time. The word Yuppie was the basically the word Chav of the second half of the 1980s, and Yuppie sounded more like...

I was 23, still living at home, and the late Queen Elizabeth II had just celebrated her Golden Jubilee. (I make that mid-June 2002 as I write this).

I don't think that it was ever commercially available - I also remember it shown on Challenge and clips of it were also shown on Thames' End of the Year Show on New Year's Eve 1992 just before they closed down handed over to Carlton after the Big Ben chimes. Perhaps the BFI in London could help?...

Did anyone assume that KITT and Stephen Hawking had the same voice? They did sound very similar. And of course Michael Knight who went to the Shakin' Stevens school of early to mid 1980s denim wearers...

Managed to get Hasselhoff's autograph when he appeared in panto when one wrote to the...

I have mentioned a few of them on here if you search for various threads - 1996 around the time of my 18th birthday were full of them. Claire Palmer from Coronation Street; Angel from Home and Away; Minnie from Shortland Street and Jade Jagger were just three of them.

My 31st in 2009, although I don't really want to talk about it to be quite honest.

I thought of this thread again when I saw an old Maxwell House advert from its "blue jar" era of the 1990s which I had forgotten about. Cue a rather beige and brown looking man wearing National Health glasses and a Mr Bean-alike voice, exclaiming: "the couple next door..." (Cut to...

Keeping up with the TGJones'...

It is maddening that they changed the name to a parody of the original one.

Anyone looking forward to Easter this year? The enthronement of the first female Archbishop of Canterbury this week will hopefully get me in the mood from a Christian perspective. The first Urbi et Orbi with Pope Leo XIV in charge will make it interesting after the Easter Day church service - the BBC...

There's nothing accidental about coming across this website, stumbling or otherwise!

Welcome to Do You Remember, iMatt!...

I hope that Boy George will be the saviour of the San Marino entry and that from a UK perspective, any fans of him will help to secure it in the final....

Great that we are back - I hope that mine doesn't go part-time on me again....

One... singular sensation... every little step she takes... One... thrilling combination... every move that she makes... (ad infinitum). Every time I tune into Elaine Paige on Sunday on BBC Radio 2 when having my Sunday lunch microwave meal, I always half expect her to play it nearly every other week,...

A fan letter with a picture of Ms Dodds printed out will be posted very soon.

Sounds like someone involved in building houses. ...

That was short-lived, wasn't it? Avatars stand out on the page a lot more than member's names do, and at first glance, sometimes it can be difficult to see which posts are mine and which ones are other people's.

I do feel sorry for all the members on here who have such great avatars and...
