On the Antrim Road, Belfast yesterday.
From 1987, an ad for Marathon bar.
In the pre-Snickers era, Terence says he could chew away on one from 11am until lunchtime.
It was that big.
From 1986, for Marathon bars.
A penny wise ‘vox pop commercial’ conducted at ‘Gaiety corner’ at the top of Grafton Street and Merrion Row,South King Street, Dublin. The confectionery was of course needlessly rebranded four years later.
Recognise anyone, anyone?
In 1980, four Tyrone brothers, Sean, Brian, Frank and Mick Quinn, became the first four brothers in the world to run a marathon together when they took part in the New York Marathon, top.
It was a story which gained the attention of the New York Times, ABC, CBS and NBC at the time.
Now, 33 years later, the four brothers, above, are preparing to redo the feat but this time they’ll be running the Dublin Marathon on Monday, October 28.
All in aid of MS Ireland.
Mick writes:
“Ireland Inc. is in a ditch. It’s important to help each other along the journey. No matter what walk of life we come from, if we don’t work together, we won’t get very far.”
“33 years later we’re doing it again. While we’re a bit more rotund now, let’s say, and we may not do it in the same time as before, our intention is the same – to raise funds for a very worthy cause like MS Ireland.”

Good luck to 17,500 runners in Belfast marathon/relay. Usual Belfast running rules apply. Bring energy drinks, warm clothes & an umbrella.
