When I was doing my A levels - including Sociology, obviously! - BT ran an advert where Maureen Lipman has a phone convo with her son, and she says "Oooh you've got an ology, that means your a scientist!" It was a sort of theme ad in my family for a while! Seeing as it was in '88 I may not be able to find it, so let me see.... Here we are -

Great ad Stellata! I remember that one when it was brand new!
Actually I have a story about adverts. When I was little I was a bit of a pest when my mum wanted to see to my younger brother. The only thing is that I used to love adverts and used to be absolutely mesmorised by them. So my mum recorded a load of adverts off the telly, and when she wanted to left alone with my brother she used to play the video which had the adverts on. It worked for a while until I got used to the adverts, of which she had to record a new set of adverts.
Even now I get distracted/mesmorised by adverts. To me they're sometimes better than what is on the telly! I love the Flash advert that is on the telly, but it's not on youtube! I think I should have a career in marketing LOL.

I think I just saw my future flash before my eyes O.o
There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you.
But there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself.
I aint no abacus but you can count on me.

I still love this spoof of the Royal Wedding:

I think I remember it most as Um Bongo fascinated me - but, due to its sugar and possibly additives in the 90s I wasn't allowed it. I've never even had it. Wonder if they still do it... as an adult I can have ALL the sugar and E-numbers.
I love um bongo, and they have fairly recently re-released it, it's still full of sugar, but there's fewer e numbers.
I bought some cartons from Asda the other day, it's expensive but it just reminded me of being a kid!
In more OT news I don't really have a favourite advert, I tend to flick channels when they come on!
