Show your age ........

[Roboframer]

...... with a joke.

Tom knocks on his mate's (Johnny) door to see if he can come out to play - Johnny answers the door but behind him, laid out on the passage floor, is Johnny's mum in a pool of blood.

"Oh My God"! says Tom "What happened to your Mum"?

"She forgot the fruit gums"! says Johnny

[Graysalchemy]

I still eat my kids fruit gums. If you had said spangles then that would have shown your age .

[prospero]

Pink Shrimps?

Lucky bags?

Luvely Jubbly.




6d. Mars Bars that were about a foot long and used to last a week.




Don't they do Spangles any more? I haven't seen any lately come to think of it.

[Graysalchemy]

I think they came back in the 90's but weren't the same.

[Roboframer]

I wasn't showing my age by remembering fruit gums, but by that advert.

Here's another old topical one ....

What do Jeremy Thorpe and William the Comqueror have in common?

They're both ****ing Normans!

Anyone watch old episodes of Only Fools and Horses?

If so, have you noticed that a lot of the lines refer to things that were topical at the time and have since passed from popular memory.

Who knows who Bertie Smalls is?

[valpendleton]

Didn't Spangles become 'Starburst' ? or am I thinking of Opal Fruits?

Oh Jubblys! They were brilliant!

[Graysalchemy]

Opal Fruits became Starburst.....


I nick them of the kids as well

Put the products to these lines and/or complete them.

"Sixpence worth of heaven"

"Tastes good, looks good and does you good"

"The pint that thinks it's a quart"

"Cool as a mountain stream"

" 'course you can, Malcolm"

"I wish I was as clever as you, Brian"

[prospero]

I can only get the second one which I do believe should be...

"Looks good, tastes good and by golly it does you good."

And for all those who thought "Guiness"_> FAIL



Here's another oldie.
