Just been to the Co-op @ Wollaton, I had no quid pieces for the trolley, managed to use a 20 pence piece, after loading up the car & returning the trolley, this woman said Ill take that & gave me a quid. Ding dang do.

I would very much like your opinions of manners, if someone comes to visit your home - do you expect themto have any? I only ask as I can't stand ignorance, I have a family member who whenever they visit, we all get ignored, theysit on their phone and literally lay on my sofa. Iv been told I'm out of order for saying 'if your going to ignore my 2 year old to sit on your phone. Don't bother visiting any more' this isn't a young person either. Anyways, this isn't a rant. I just want to know what people expect form visiters etc. I always keep my phone in my bag when out with friends or visiti

Hi Gem, You probably want the "general chat" part of the forum for that, but thank you anyway for kind comments about our fair city. The "town square" is know locally as "slab square" and "the lions" sitting in front of "the council house" are a favourite meeting point. Another well used meeting point is the Emett Clock (see what I did there to pull the thread back on topic?) There's been some recent media speculation suggesting that Emett's finest could be relocated. I've checked with "the management" and can confirm what they say, i.e. no decision has been made yet. I did say that I'd

I'm sorry Tyfans, all that you have posted on this subject has been on various TV programs, none of it has been 'proven fact', it is speculation or theory. Never have I read or heard that there were human 'body parts at the Roswell site. The German UFO craft you refer to was nicknamed the flying 'bell' because of the shape,and you have never seen this craft, again this was speculation by a few allied 'boffins'. To gain any credibility on what you post,there has to be proof,and so far there seems to be a shortage of real evidence. What do you mean by " the research is so much more rewarding"

#43 Darkazana MMMMMMMMMM num num num, "Thank you for remembering", i just found your recipe! That's sorted out what i will be doing in the morning.

I see you're slowly coming round to his way of thinking Ian Rog

Hi. this is my first post. No doubt I'll get the hang of it before to long. I am Nottingham born and bred as they say. I have my mother staying over here from Australia she's 87 and also Nottingham born and bred. As is the case when my mother visits the uk we get to talking about old times reminiscing I think its called. Some might say boring. I don't, so thats why I'm here. I visited your site a couple of years ago and enjoyed the posts about Basford town and the rememberances of that area, I was mostly dragged up on Whitechapel street from the age of 4 till aged 13 when I moved to Clifton. I

If there's one thing that puts the damper on things when it's 'Goose Fair' time, it's Rain!; and as I sit here typing it's coming down by the bucket load. Fingers crossed the weather forecast lives up to its prediction and the rain only lasts for today - don't fancy walking around 'Goose Fair' in 'Mud, Mud, Glorious Mud'.

Yes, got it on the bookshelf and refer to it several times a day ........ Not really!!

So IT WAS YOU.

Tell me about it! A waist is just a fond memory. Hey, Mick2me, we don't care do we. More fun this way.

The popular idea is that blood is thicker than water and so it is, but it makes a hell of a mess and takes longer to clean up! Mutual consideration should engender good manners and there's precious little of that.

I heard a 'good one'. If you go for a meal and the others are regular "Lug hole stuck to the phone all nighters" make everybody put their phones in a pile on the table. The first one to touch their phone before a set time ( IE when the bills been paid,) Has t pay the bill! Simples

Come on. Lighten up. Goose Fair is like Glastonbury. Mud just adds to the fun. (Follow ye Follow. right down to the hollow, and there we must wallow).

Yes SWMBO's do look a bit alienified when they've got it on them, they also shout in high pitched ultrasonic voices, or is that just mine. P. S. If you read this Sue I'm really really sorry..

Ok so it doesn't include foraging... Unless you can get your hands on these 3 ingrediants. But when winter rolls in I make the following and store in jars and keep in the fridge. Slice lemons into circular pieces, chop ginger to however you want and pack it all in the jar. Then fill with honey but it's best to do it in stages to let it fill the gaps and settle to the bottom then continue to fill the jar with the remaining honey. Pop it in the fridge for at least a day and it'll set into a loose sort of jelly consistency, but if it's a little runny it still works. When you feel a cold coming

I have my own 'ALIEN' well SWMBO looks strange when she has a monk on. Colin

So here we are then, home at last and the recipe books to hand. This is for you Carni as promised, my recipe for scones. 1lb plain flour, 1tsp bicarbonate of soda 1.5 oz butter 1/4 pint buttermilk (or fresh milk with 2 tsp cream of tartar) 4tsp caster sugar dried fruit (optional) Set oven to 425 f /Mark 7 Sieve flour and soda into bowl and rub in butter, add sugar and fruit.

I must have walked past your grandmother's house many a time, I used to catch the 22 from Amesbury Circus to the Newcastle Arms, then walk along High Street to my grandma's in Marlow Avenue, and aunt's on Bailey Street. I remember the rows of cottages on the left, and a corner shop not far along from the pub.

Hi Paul, welcome to 'Nottstalgia'; your introduction to the site reads very interesting: I am the same age as you and know well the Aspley area that you speak of (Nuthall Road and Bar Lane) - remember 'Piggy's Yard' at the side of Breffitt's garage? PS: Keep posting, we're very friendly on this site.

An early memory was going to Butcher Boy'ds in Netherfield for dental treatment. That was an experience. I believe he got struck off.

Seems a bit unfair to me that Notts CC have to battle all season against relegation because their two world class bowlers were on England duty all summer. Rob237 would be pleased, NCCC escape relegation, England win the Ashes and Notts win the YB 40 Cup.

I'm a bit bewildered by all this but I think I am beginning to understand it. If we do get prolonged power cuts, then we will have to eat imported possum sandwiches or possum sausages. OK. I'll put plenty of salad cream on to kill the taste if I don't like them.

OK , the easy thing is to say........... " Well stay in school, get an education, then you won't have to work in the kind of place that only pays you 'minimum wage' " Alternatively , get these minimum wage payers to pay a decent wage. But then the expenditure to you normal hard working folk then goes up , so you'll just start moaning! So it's a catch 22 situation!

Then there was another greengrocer, a bloke walked in and asked for a pound tomatoes. The Green grocer told him that it was kilos nowadays, the bloke replied, I'll have a pound of kilos then please

Katyjay, I can't believe your not a Honky Tonk Woman. Can we make it The Last Time you rubbish my all time favourite group. There's no need to Paint It Black after all it's Only Rock 'n' Roll. Now I know you Can't Always Get What You Want said the man at the Beggars Banquet as he dipped his Sticky Fingers in the bowl of Brown Sugar. Any more bad talk and you will Start Me Up and make me all Doom & Gloom. But Time Is On My Side and Wild Horses wouldn't let me have Sympathy For the Devil. Yours Jumpin Jack Flash.

Nasty person. Admins can we have a "Don't like this" button, pleeze.
