I still like the Anacin catch phrase of hopless pain.

"MOTHER! I'D RATHER DO IT MYSELF"

Before the dawn of remote control devices my Dad would on seeing the start of this commercial throw himself at the mechnical channel changer and dial from 6 to 10 in a flash, (there by throwing a nice arc across the contacts and slowing killing the tuner) quicker than today's 3 second per channel clickers.

"What do you want, good grammar or good taste? What do you want, good grammar or good taste? Pardon my grammar but Winston tastes good like a cigarette should".

And that was from what I understand they nowadays call the golden age of advertising.

Course it’s gonna be tough to match their olde radio jingle.

What’s the word? Thunderbird! / How’s it sold? Good and cold. / What’s the jive? Bird’s alive! / What’s the price? Thirty twice.

It's the drink to drink when you want to get drunk

Hell of a potential slogan for Thunderbird there Mister Red.

Ever had slivovic from what used to be Yugoslavia? It’s the drink to drink when you want to get drunk, though in my case it persuaded me that pretty well all the time I don’t.

No beer is mostly water.

Vodka is what you drink without interruption or alternation if you want to feel never better the next morning, because it's so pure. Unless it's a bad potato batch like is always killing off the home brewers in Russia.

Our friends from the Alsace brew their own schnapps. Miracle beverage.

(Vodka) Mostly water?! My mate from Poland makes his own. Really nice (the Orange is best). 75% proof. (looking up tables) Alcohol freezing point is -120 C!

Well it's mostly water so I imagine it would be pretty close to 32, but maybe a tad lower to allow for the alcohol...

Watka?

What’s the freezing point of beer? Watka has anatural advantage amongst the locals.

I suddenly have a craving for good hardy farm food. And beer. Maybe they could set up a whole rural England without the yobs and the footballers’ wives?
