Right off for a stroll, looks like rain?

Anyone found this one in GC?

Set off to go fishing. Just down the road and realised that I had forgotten my 'close to' glasses that enable me to tie flies onto the line. So back hometo collect. Set off again and the batteries in the hearing implant device failed....back home to replace. Set off for a third time ....bugger! forgot to fit the denture plate. I could not possibly arrive at the fishing lodge and greet the delightful lady receptionist with a' 'gappy' smile ..so back home again.... I'm thinking...good job I don't have to wear a truss or bag or take any medication, otherwise I would have to start out the day bef

Totally agree Red, I never had a claim all my driving life but the renewal premium went up every year, it's about time the bad drivers were hammered, not the good drivers.

I remember my auntie Emily talking about the Denewood Crescent ghost. After their house in Garden Street was CPOd by the council, they were offered the tenancy of number 123 Beechdale Road, Bilborough. The house stood almost opposite the lower entrance to Denewood Crescent. All the neighbours were aware of the story as it was in the NEP and even some of the national papers. Auntie Emily was quite accepting of ghosts. She often hinted at peculiar goings on at Garden Street which wouldn't surprise me because as a very young child, I also had an experience there which I've

Just caught the last three overs on 5Live...... Well done Notts, a brilliant performance.

Loopy these devices can be a good thing, my granddaughter has one of the devices fitted (not long passed her test) someone ran into her at a junction. They signalled to go left came straight on hit her on the driver side, on their accident form said they were doing 30mph but the device in her car recorded the impact at 51mph so can have their uses.

One accident, I'm 70, and that was in Australia, dickhead of a woman ran into the back of me while I was waiting to turn into my driveway. She and the idiot behind her were charged with Negligent driving, my no claims stayed in tact, Insurance company was happy with the police report. The feller who had run ito the woman who rear ended me had just had the front end of his car rebuilt, new radiator, new grill, new bumper, he was in tears literally. I'd say he had a few thousand bucks worth of damage to his car. I tend to stay within the posted speed limits as I hate funding cit

Still driving with a clean record at 72. As you say premiums go up every time as well. Now they are pushing a monitoring device with the excuse if you drive few miles you get a rate reduction. They play down its gps and speed monitoring abilities. I will not be constantly monitored by theses creeps. So I guess I will face the choice one of these days. Maybe get me bike out again,

I think it was a service extra if I remember rightly Jill, the crews on those knew how to dodge work,all being usually on the old timers sick, lazy & idle rota !

And the 16A too Jill.

katyjay has now re-discovered the photo and asked me to re-post it. The chock is under the front nearside wheel.

Pity there are no public toilets, closed because of homosexual behaviour, disgusting.

Quite true FLY. I love train travel but seems very complicated to me & the prices are too expensive.

I must admit that I'm not normally one to advocate the nationalisation of businesses or industries, but in the case of the railways, I deem it to be perfectly justified. Since privitisation, the services have been deplorable throughout the entire country. Nowadays, I very rarely travel by train as they're invariably cramped, dirty and expensive, especially if you want to travel on the spur of the moment. Other than the line to London, the through trains to other areas are infrequent, poor connections, and as different operating companies are involved, the staff are unhelpful and unknowle

We did plan to give Eptons a 1st visit on Bank Holiday Monday afternoon, but with will power I resisted "body my temple & all that" I can report the 3 x Fish & Chips we had in Ingoldmells on the Sunday I just had chips & curry sauce where horrible. Anyway took this

Another great Nottingham achievment that gets little acknowledgment from the Nottstalgians. https://www.trentbridge.co.uk/news/2017/september/christians-praise-for-record-breaking-partnership.html

They also won the One Day Cup back in July, and are likely to win the 2nd Division Championship. There isn't anything else left for them to win.

The Sun Has Got His Hat On (Hip, hip, hooray!) was from the musical 'Me and My Girl' for which Noel Gay wrote the music and which also included Leaning on a Lamp-post and The Lambeth Walk.

Glad to be of service Oz and Loppy. You know how I love the history of this sort of stuff. It came as a surprise to me that the song was recorded by Sandy Powell, comedian, in 1939 and was written by Noel Gay. I'd never heard of Noel Gay but he was rsponsible for Run Rabbit Run, The Sun Has Got His Hat On and a number of other well known popular songs. Wikipedia also taught me that Gay's son was a 'Talent Agent' called Richard Armitage who represented, among others, Rowan Atkinson, John Cleese, Russ Conway, Peter & Gordon, The Scaffold, Geoff Love, Paul Jones ( Manfred Mann)

Yes, it did look good in the sunshine. The Trent and it's environs are still the jewel in the crown of our fair city. Thank Goodness there's nothing that the council can do to ruin it. I still like a nice Sunday morning walk along the Embankment. It brings back memories of the days of nearly 70 years ago with my dad.

Council Tax here Rog is to fund the tram !
