Remember those Guinness adverts with Rutger Hauer?

Remember the one in which he sent a 'telepathic' message to the viewer?

If you know what I am talking about, you'll reply with the proof that I have been seeking for years......

I remember him being in Guinness ads. But alas, the telepathic message got filed in my mental "To Be Filed" list and was lost in the last brainfire I had. Sorry.

I remember him playing chess with Lincoln inside a whale.

Nope - like I said the advert showed Hauer sitting in a chair next to a bald female telepathic.

Hauer says 'I'm now going to send you a telepathic message'

Of course, nothing happens - he just sits there grinning.

The ad was repeated for weeks, possibly months - until one night, the ad changed. Instead of sending a 'telepathic message' - Hauer's message is spoken.

Now I'm fucking damn sure I didn't dream it, but I don't know anyone else who saw it and I never witnessed it again. My mates think I'm making it up and I've had several bets on the go for years about this.

So did anyone else see that advert - and if they did, what did Hauer say (just so I know you're straight up)?

wink

True, but don't be confused into thinking that we don't have our fair share of shite too. wink

The message was "Clean the streets, kill them all, kill them all NOW!"

Right?

Wrong.

Believe it or not - I'm seriously considering contacting the people who made those adverts to find out if what I saw was real, and not some drug-induced hallucination.

How sad is that eh?

Hey, Mr. Whitehead. You haven't been around spreading English wisdom on the boards for the past few days. Is/has your wife officially made you a daddy? I seem to remember you mentioning that was supposed to happen soon.

Enough with the "Mr. Whitehead", OK? We're friends. You can call me "Sir" wink

The simple answer is - not yet. She was admitted to hospital last week when she started having contractions, and they're keeping her under observation. That's where I've been most nights, although I am still unwinding for a few hours with a piping hot slice of CHUD. Basically, it'll all be happening sometime in the next week or so... eek!

You'll know what I mean when I say to you......My Teddy Bear, Horice.....

You have set my mine at rest, I am no longer going mad!!!

Was Rutger Hauer in that one where everyone frantically climbs on top of each other to look in a hole? The pile of people was hundreds of feet high, with people throwing each other off.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

But what was the full message? I can't remeber.

I saw it, but only once

I am so glad I'm not the only one.

I thought I was the only person in the world to hear the message.

It was around Xmas in 87/88 ish. Next time it was on it was silent.

The message was something like:

"I've lost my teddy bear named Horace. If anyone finds him, please send him home."


Although, does this mean I'm not psychic? Does it mean that those voices I've been hearing are my own?

;-)

I saw it too! I lived in the UK from 90-94, and saw the 'telepathic' ad all through 90/91. Was watching TV late one night in '91 and heard the message! No one else I know ever saw it, but now I know I wasn't going mad.

Can't remember the name of the bear, but the sentiment of the message above was exactly as I recall it.

All those moments will be lost in time. Like tears in Guinness.
