So many memories there. It doesn't even look like the same place now.

This has a lot of atmospheric old footage of the city centre from the 80s and 90s......even if it's the wrong time of year to be looking at Christmas things.

Be interesting to see how Corbyn does as an independent.

Will there be a queue of Tory candidates in line to replace them? I doubt it. The minor parties will pick up some votes from those who won’t vote for Labour and there could likely be some wins for the Lib Dem’s who will gain a few more seats.

Tonight is steak and chips night with a couple of fried eggs. These are the last two in the box and every one has been a double yolk. It must be sign so I have invested £2.50 on the Euromillions.... this time tomorrow............

Thats fine Beekay the main bus stop at Leabrooks was referred to as Doctors Corner by the bus conductor.

A mass exodus is reported on the Beeb, mainly Tories and looks a lot like rats leaving a sinking ship, though not quite as bad as 2010 when 100 Labour MPs deserted Gordon.

Yes Ian, you are correct. Iv'e only been there once. That to visit my long lost baby cousin. ( Not saying her address though, she might hit me).

Thats like the bloke went to the doctors thought he had vd the doctor said does it burn when you go to the toilet he said i dont know i have never tried to light it.

Is that the Leabrooks near Somercotes Derbys. i went through there every day whilst going to Alfreton High School in the late 50s on the MGO C5 bus.

Speedy recovery to the wife ben you will be dancing up a storm pretty quick.

I heard that Kier Starmer was going to be interviewed on Times Radio at 7am today so I asked Alexa to turn on at that time. He startled to ramble on and the next thing I heard was the alarm waking me at 8am! Soporific Starmer!

As per the Guardian The Information Commissioner’s Office, which oversees the law on the Freedom of Information Act, says we have a right to know, but... FOI is directed at and applies to statutory bodies of which the Environmental Agency is one. It should respond. However it is a non departmental agency so in effect self-governing and can do pretty much whatever it wants. Hiding the information is pretty disgusting, but there are no penalties for refusal to comply and nothing anyone can do about it unless they have a court order. It's a shoddy state of affair

Did a bit of shopping in Bulwell this morning........long time since ive seen it so busy....even the free parking was difficult to find a spot........ It is certainly getting very Cosmopolitan...........and they seem to be blending in with the Bulwell friendliness.........Like everywhere there are lots of Barbers and i keep going to different ones just out of interest........This morning i went to a different one Turkish or Kurdish not sure ......Asked him for a Tony Curtis.....but he didnt have one...so settled for a number one....There were 3 of them and all busy but ve

Well, if I had to choose, I’d rather smoke a pipe a bed but chacun a son gout.

And in Magic Roundabout, Zebedee was always reminding everyone it was 'Time for bed' - although he never gave any detailed sleeping arrangements.

Absolutely awful, I have just found out that the biggest single winner lottery prize of 150 million dollars came to Adelaide but not to me. Not surprisingly as I did not buy a ticket. With odds of 134 million to 1, the odds of being killed by a shark or a kangaroo are around 8 million to 1. I would rather put my $20 aside and buy myself a decent single malt every couple of months or so. The bloke that won it went a did his normal job today?

It was perceived not at the time. Now pipe smoking... especially in bed...is far more shocking than homosexuality was at the time M&W made those programmes. I think Thora Hird and Freddie Frinton were pictured abed together in Meet The Wife before M&W were.

Que for a very old joke. Q Do you smoke after sex? A I don't know I have never looked.

Purportedly they were the first couple shown in bed on British TV.

So homosexuals don’t smoke pipes in bed? You learn something new everyday on this forum!

That's why Eric always smoked a pipe in bed. Morecambe and Wise felt that would dispel any suggestions that they were homosexuals!

My sister went to Derby. She also had laser treatment there when both eyes clouded over after the ops.
