[kendon81]

anyone know where i can find the 80's Pennys Christmas add the one where the main tag line is 'Penny's, got a whole lotta things for Christmas, got a lot for the family' and there were elves making toys in it!

[ironjellyreilly]

I come from 2011 and wish to purchase this 'Timotei' of which you speak. But you can keep your Erin soup, we also have that in the future, and it's still muck.

[thecheech]

could you please upload the sunday night at the gaiety programme please?

[noelio67]

£99 in 1987......pretty much the same 24 years later...would love to have seen the Aer Lingus price to London back then...lol

[TheChapaqua]

[foxyjoe44]

[TheChapaqua]

[Paddyslippers]

that voice over lad must have been loaded!

[jfme08]

@Paddyslippers why do you say that?

[peenut6601]

oh i loved timotei, and kaliber tasted like piss

[TheIrish39]

@jfme08 You vile, plebian - apologist, have you no loyalty to your (working) class? You are a classic Irish class traitor - with your nose firmly implanted into the anal area of the most corrupt leader in postwar Europe.

[jfme08]

@TheIrish39 Haughey was irelands greatest leader. He got his accountant to fiddle the books of my dads company so we paid no tax. you think he'd let his friends pay marginal tax rates of 70%? you must be joking!! we went to disneyland in 1986..and bought a 6 series bmw. all my friends' brothers had to emigrate though........

[TheBannerBoy]

Jaysis, Life was simple then....

[jfme08]

my goodness, 1987 was a great year for me. I was friends with charlie haughey nephew...met the big man himself a few times that year. he loved his merc :) He gave me a £50 note to buy sweets one day when i was with his nephew but we bought ciggarettes instead :)

[anamcroi]

rte ha ha ha it hasnt changed fuckall! its still shte... aldoe these add drown me in happy memories of my nostalic mental youth................ :) :)

[gilliganhynes]

God, enough with the gay Hughes jokes. It was a great ad, and as anyone who has been away from home for a long time will tell you, it absolutely nails the whole experience of coming back.

[canacourse]

Thats its expensive shite that wont get you were you want to go.

[Kalgoorlie10]

That dude in the impulse add took a sneaky sniff after feeling your'one up.

[canacourse]

Well spotted. Dirty Fecker.

[christopher2008x]

haha 2 children count as one adult so why not serve them drink cigarettes etc lol idiots think of a better line. and erin foods pulled out of thurles but before they went the polish where getting jobs there 2004-07 there. irish people where not employed only the ones who where there prior. and just up and left thurles
