[Jumbo_]

Ain't it Um Bongo?

 

[Radiation]

Didn't they call it 'Um og-nob' or something a while ago when they mixed the flavours up?

 

[matherto]

Sure that wasn't just some form of alcohol you'd drank and you were a bit gone Rad?

I knew I hadn't dreamt it up

Um Bongo is a mixed tropical fruit juice drink in the United Kingdom, manufactured by Gerber Foods Soft Drinks Limited under the name Libby's.

It is particularly famous for its long running (sung) slogan of "They Drink It In The Congo", used with the accompanying animated television advert since the 1980s.

For a short period of time in the 1990s, Um Bongo gained a sister drink called Um Ognob but this has since been withdrawn.

[jaygrim]

Red Faction 3 is one of the very best games of this, or any other generation.

It qualifies as more than great.

 

[Chris Davies]

Weird, I just don't get it at all. It just feels like running around smashing stuff up to me.

 

[matherto]

I get a hell of a lot of joy from running around smashing stuff up though Chris.

Especially when the deformation and the physics are so good.
