I also enjoyed the Easter Sunday morning service from Ripon Cathedral - a mention of Storm Dave was given my one of the clergy!

PE - I hated getting changed in public....

I usually have worse ends to holidays rather than starts!

Just thought I would mention that I watched Urbi et Orbi on Sunday morning, and it really made my day when the first two words of English that I heard Pope Leo XIV say was: "Happy Easter".

Hard to believe that it is his first one.

Possibly Charles and Diana's wedding in 1981?

As Margaret Thatcher was heavily prominent in the news while growing up in the 1980s, it is more likely to be something to do with the then Prime Minister....

Quick Brew were made by Lyons which I think was part of Allied Lyons that Tetley teabags were part of? - A brand that I haven't seen since the 1990s at least. Hywel Bennett during his sabbatical from Shelley used to voiceover at the end of the advert, mentioning: "from Allied Lyons - a Great British...

I can see the similarities with her nightshirt and this t-shirt - the black on white design is the same but the picture is smaller (but so then is the t-shirt):

It reminds me of doing screen printing at school, doing a design on a t-shirt.

Thanks for your output, David - it might have been something quite obvious to most people but I have always assumed that they were some mid 1980s boyband members or something.

I own Boyzone t-shirts for example, which is quite obviously Boyzone because: A) It has the Boyzone logo on the...

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.

A female guest character...

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....
