There hasn't been one contributor in favour of butter in the bath and thin tray on the top. Well I challenge your thinking. The tray bit has a rim around the outer edge that can be gripped far easier than the smooth sides of the deep bit. You can slip your butter knife under the tray top and bounce it on the worktop much easier. And another thing. If you've got a block of butter going soft on a shallow tray and you reach over to get your caviar sandwich filling you could get butter all over your wristwatch or cuff-links. Anyway, why do I want an impression of an upsidedown cow in the butter

Carni - post 34. The pointy end comes out last, otherwise the orifice would close with a bang.

CRYING, ofcourse there is a time to cry its a human trait,but to cry in public is/was just not British,but now it seems to be activley encouraged.the worst are contestants on so called Talent shows where they wine and give uss their sob stories (my Granny died 5 yrs ago and she was only 103) before going on to serenade us with some rubbish.the worst are those on "Deal or no deal"they ALL cry,even the bloody audience. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BRITISH STIFF UPPER LIP ?

Used to hit Yatesy's last thing before closing time with my future brother in law then hit the nightclubs where booze was too expensive. Couple of Aussie white wines got rid of the nerves of a naive young fellow I was at the time and gave me courage to get up and boogy :-). Mind don't think the white wine had ever seen Australia but sure was rocket fuel on top of 3 pints of larger.

Could go on. There is a Butcher in Somercotes. His name is Mr Bacon. The man who originally set up Long Eaton Glass was a Mr Payne

Been away for a while, but fantastic think you got us all , I still see Clive Rose he still lives in the area and up till Sept I worked in Hyson Green.

The "talent" programmes where the judges say to a contestant "You made that song yours" bollo6k5 . Or when they say " you nailed it tonight" I'd like to nail it, straight through their f***ing forehead. It doesn't say much for British talent, when the last two winners of one of the most popular talent shows has been a chubby schoolgirl with a dog, and a bunch of foreigners dressed in black making shadowy images.

Hi Katyjay, Not rode a two wheeled bent myself but have rode with plenty who do, they are a little bit wobbly at slow speed but nothing can keep up with them when they are going full chat, I think the world speed record on a bike is held by a recumbent, they are banned from the Tour de France because of their unfair advantage but I don't know how they would fare on some of the mountain sections,there are a lot of different types of recumbent bike from the "low riders where you are really low in the seat like my trike right through to the "high riders" where the seat is about the same height a

And they couldnt sing either Paul, oh sorry that was Bros not Dros

No, not Australia, more like Celanese at Spondon.

How many other Bingo places look like this. https://goo.gl/maps/JE64zMFBPJB2

Back in the 80's when the Elite was a bingo hall, I had an American stay with me who had a rather dry sense of humour. We were waiting for a bus at the side of the post office and he asked what the building opposite was. I told him it was a bingo hall. For a while he looked up at the classical statues near the roofline and eventually said ' So are they the great bingo winners from the past?' I still don't know if he was serious.

And talking about eggs, anyone ever watched a hen lay one???? They stand up after laying one, then they are in a daze for a few minutes, that's when I sneak my hand her and remove her newly laid egg, stand back and have a giggle... The hen comes around, looks under her to move the egg to her "sitting" position, does a walk around the nesting box, puzzled, she knows she laid one but there's nowt there now...

mam used to put butter on my head if i bumped it,and i remember my Dad using lard when he had no brylcreme.one day there was no brylcreme or lard,so i used butter,HOT DAY AND STUNK THE CLASS OUT

It's an 'earner'. Since the 80's local councils now see themselves as businesses. They don't do the job that they are elected to do and don't give a single thought as to whether things are affordable or for the 'benefit' of people. It's time there was a 'route and branch' investigation into the actions of local councils who do actually that think they can just keep pumping us for more and more money.

My wife's visit this week confirmed that you have the most arrogant nasty drivers (Every one of them) & expensive bus service. She actually let him have it when he started yelling at her for not knowing how much the fare was.

As usual I'm a bit late to the party on this one, but the names you have so far are correct. The other David (the bottle collector) was David Hamilton - he also got on Blue Peter with his collection. It was class 2G, our first year full-time at the Forest Fields site. As 1G we had been based at the Claremont Road/Hucknall Road site. The year (for 2G) was 71/72. Here's my version of the photo with more of the names filled in. At the time I couldn't remember the tutor's name, but someone got it earlier when the said Milne.

I can't stand that advert for Ministry of Sound CD's. Who the f--k are these brain dead freaks . The artists and the buyers . I've never heard such shit except out of cars driven by retarded chavs. Their cars bug me too. Low slung, blacked out windows, bald tyres poor lights. Crush em whilst occupied I say. Aye up, wife's here, she'll calm me down Ina bit.

I'd like to state how annoyed I am at the annoying people who complain about people who annoy them. It's very annoying and I wish that these annoying people would stop annoying me.

Posted 23 February 2014 - 08:09 PM Annoying habits..it should not annoy you that some of us are loyal and patriotic to this country.for gods sake i should not have to apoligise ,if you cant take crititism dont give it . ....and it should not annoy someone that any person can be loyal and patriotic to both their adopted country and their land of birth. My Australian passport gives my place of birth as Nottingham and that heritage is something that I am deeply proud of - Nottingham born and bred!

Australians ,well kind of australians who claim to have everything ,but unfortunately the one thing they dont have is nottingham ,is that why they come home everyday ,or is it they relate to jeremy kyle,and want to tell us how they scrounged their plane fare off british tax payers. The content of this post is taken from what they have posted so dont shoot the messenger. AC.....After 50 years in this country and with what I have done, I feel I have the right to call myself an Australian - not a 'kind of Australian' but a true and proud Australian. .......Yes, we can claim to have everything
