The Mr Bombastic Levi’s advert was hugely popular in the nineties as the cartoon was clever and funny, but mostly as the soundtrack was so incredibly sexy. Everyone wanted to use it for their program features, soundtracks and parties. Apparently this is the Sting remix of Shaggy’s classic. A great excuse to grind and an […]
Just look at Mr Bombastic with his bad boy shaven haircut and nineties waistcoat trying to a pull a girl in a pink velvet catsuit! What a charmer!
Shaggy was also well known for one of the sexiest songs ever “Mr Bombastic” which was featured on a highly successful Levi’s advert.
She was only fifteen when she started out with an annoyingly catchy song “Because we want to” but Billie Piper surprised all by going on to marry Chris Evans in Las Vegas, divorce him and then end up on Dr. Who and countless other dramatic roles. Although she’s now a time-traveller, we like to remember […]

The best quality Kinder Egg toys were only available in Germany, where the sweet originated. I was given these toys to photograph by an enthusiast, TC, who was brought up in Germany
So-called because of the sharp pointy toes of the shoe -similar to the tools used for prising winkles out of their shells. Winkle pickers were worn by “Teddy Boys”, Modernists and Mods. They had Cuban Heels and in the 60’s were best worn with laces down the side and extra-long trousers.

On the 21st of July 1969 Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. He walked into the Sea of Tranquility at 0256 GMT and reported back with the words: “Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.”
When you think of Queen, you most probably think of Bohemian Rhapsody. The longest radio played song (five minutes and fifty five seconds!!), the first pop video ever and using ground-breaking multi-layered vocals, Queen were to change pop and rock for ever and to stay at number one for nine weeks with this fantastic and […]

I only went to school for a few years in the 1980s and 1990s, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t just me who had to sing at least one song while they were at school!
Here I’m not talking about school songs - only posh schools have them, sometimes in latin, and never in tune - […]

Don’t you just love this classic?
Girl (thinking): I wish, I wish I had a lovely surprise.
Boy (thinking): Something to play with -and some chocolate.
All I can remember about this cartoon is seeing Scrooge McDuck diving into a room full of money and then discussing with my brothers what we would do if we had that much money. As for Hughie, Louis and Dewy, they were just background to the amazing array of what Scrooge had.

The pythons were: Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin and they broadcast on the BBC from 1969 to 1974. Their madcap approach to comedy broke all the boundaries and they were as controversial as they were successful.
If I could, I would play every Python episode and film in […]
In 1999 DJ Luck and MC Neat released “Do you really like it” which sparked a small phenomenon in people saying “we’re loving it” (like the MacDonald’s slogan) and “wicked”. Their blend of UK Garage was somewhat more palatable than what had been heard before as they lent a house touch to the rather DIY […]
Danger Mouse and Penfold used to solve mysteries and crimes together zooming around in their ace yellow supercar. Danger Mouse made eye-patches cool waaay before Gabrielle. The walrus boss-man, Colonel K, instructs the British, white mouse to save the day from evil fiends and master crooks. The arch nemesis is Baron Silas Greenback (a frog) […]

This steamy hot summer advert gave hundreds of guys a bright idea for how to break the ice. Stuck on a long-haul journey with a pretty girl opposite? Just hand over half a stick of chewing gum:
