Chulla made many contributions to Nottstalgia, but perhaps his greatest was to bring order and sense to organising meet-ups. In the pre-Chulla days, meet-ups took weeks to organise - if they could be arranged at all - because nobody could ever agree on dates and locations - everybody wanted something changing. Chulla took hold of the subject by the scruff of the neck and devised the system of fixed dates and places. From that time forward it was a case of “this is the time and place; be there or miss it”. And from then on, all meet-ups went according to plan and were a

I have already given my condolences to Dave's family but I will add that I'm glad I made the effort to attend the meeting in January when I visited Nottingham. I spent most of the day with Dave and Linda and as usual Dave was very talkative about so many things. He was an avid follower of ancestry and gave me quite a few tips when I was stuck over something. Like most I agree he will be sadly missed.

The saddest news we've had here for a very long time. Massive condolences to everyone concerned. Chulla was great contributor to this site, a wonderful person, and he will be greatly missed.

Well I got the wheel chair and went round to the owd fellas house to take him out in the fresh air,got him wrapped up nice and warm and covered him with a blanket to make sure he didn't get a chill,he's not been out since breaking his leg about three/four weeks ago,got him settled in the wheel chair and took off down the cycle/footpath to Bassingham,I found out that they don't have a coffee morning on Fridays so carried on to the shop and got him a can of ginger beer,didn't want to get real beer or that could have caused real problems pushing him back home if he was plastered, anyway we sat an

All part of the process of brainwashing the public in to accepting homosexuality as normal behaviour, the same as Lloyds bank showing a big poster of 2 men ? hugging with the caption "He said yes". Sickening the lot of it.

I’ve just heard from Chulla’s wife, Linda, and she asked me to let you all know that he really valued your friendship. She will let us know the funeral arrangements ‘if anyone wants to attend’. I’ve told her that he had many friends on Nottstalgia and quite a number will want to say farewell to a lovely man.

Our dear friend, the one and only Dalai Chulla. Such a character. He'll leave a hole in this site that no one will ever fill. Condolences to his wife and family, all in my thoughts, as in everyone's. Bless you, Chulla. X

Best laugh I've had all day NBL. Sorry you got wet though. Edited to add. A funny related memory. I was once rewiring an old house in Calgary. A couple of plumbers were working down in the basement. I needed a little relief so used the upstairs commode. As I flushed I heard a loud angry shout from the basement. Well they didn't tell me they had cut the four inch sewer pipe off just under the upstairs floor. They came upstairs looking for blood. I thought they were gonna kill me. Anyway I begged for mercy and explained that it was only a pee. Finally they beli

I've been out all day and only just read this sad news. I always enjoyed the conversations I had with Chulla, and although we disagreed on some things, we never ever fell out about it. He was obviously a 'thinker' and his poems had a depth that showed this. I feel privileged to have known him, and both Paul and I send our condolences to Kath, Linda and Barbara.

Rest in Peace Chulla. - it was a pleasure to meet you and you were a true gentleman - God Bless

He looks like he's been told, he's got to get a tram back home!!

Such awful news, I know Dave wasn't well but he fought to the end. My most sincere condolences to Lynda & family, not forgetting katyj of course. Until the big meetup in the sky Dave, God Bless you.

A tragedy to his loved ones and for nottstalgia. A lovely man with wide interests and a benevolent outlook. He became our defacto leader for the meet ups and will be a hard act to follow. Sad day. Best wishes Kayjay and family.

We are so sorry to read this news Katyjay. Both Chris and I thought a lot of Chulla, as I am sure, so many other Nottstalgians felt the same.. He bought a lot of enjoyment into our lives, with his humour, poetry and knowledge on many things. It has been a pleasure to have met him and Linda. Our condolences to Linda and Barbara, and yourself Katyjay.

I believe that the Lion Revived was previously known as the Robinsons Hill club.

Looks like she's just been dug up. The latest load of crap adverts I heard was sommat to do with bingo,some fat bird asking how you gonna bingo or sommat like that Oh and anything thing with that clown James Corden in Rog

Sorry to hear this, he will be sadly missed. He put a lot into Nottstalgia and was very popular.

Kath, that is such terrible news. He’s been through so much in recent months with different medical issues but fought it all bravely and usually with humour. I personally will remember Chulla as a very kind, friendly and caring man, and one of the nicest men I’ve ever met. We will all miss him so much, he really got us organised for meet-ups too, bless him. Thoughts are with Linda and his daughter Barbara, and of course you Kath. Sending my sincere condolences and love to the family.

Havo safeo journeo !

Thanks Ian. Had the electrodes off this morning, now I'm full of red marks. I must be allergic to the sticky stuff. Have an ecocardiagram TT on monday. No results yet theyre going to phone me. I'm hoping its only stress, as I've had my fill lately. But my babies keep me sane ( my pups)

Mrs C out in the garden today, happy as Larry she is when in her garden ! She will be dusting the Flymo off later to mow the grass, there goes my afternoon peace & quiet.

Hey, +Carni & +DavidW Firstly, sorry for not being around for a bit, work takes me up & down the country at the minute. Secondly, wow.. thanks for having the kindness to have a dig around the records, it's very much appreciated and gives me something to look into. There's a big possibility that I drive past relations in Carlton every time I go through. I know my mum had researched some of her tree, but I, sadly, don't have access to any of that research. I'll note these possibilities down and have a root around at some point, when I have some spare time. If only the

The new MoneySuperMarket advert with the slightly gay action man is brilliant.

Roger, my Dad is Clive Johnson. He was the depot chairman for the TGWU at Trent Bridge from when it re-opened in 1973 until the end of 1975, when he was elected as TGWU branch secretary (5/92 branch) and moved to Parliament Street to work alongside Harry Ball. Dad left NCT in December 1976 to take a full time role with the TGWU in their Burton on Trent office.

My sincere condolences to his wife and family, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am so sorry for your loss Katy, my condolences are sent to you and all the family and I will hold you in my prayers. It was such a shock to see this on opening the Forum site, we knew he had been struggling bravely with his condition for some time but didn't expect to read this news. He was a great contributor to the Forum with a fund of knowledge on so many topics and his admin skills in controlling members for meet ups were formidable! We will all miss him and I am so glad that I was able to get to the meet last October and shake his hand. Graham.

I don't have a TV anymore !

He looks a miserable old bugger. That could have been a picture of me 20 years ago!

Hi again KJ Sorry to bother you at a difficult time. Just wondered if you could add a surname. I would like to send a sympathy card, I would want to address it fully though. Not sure Mrs C would be appropriate Thanks Dave.

So sad. He'll be very sadly missed. RIP Dave.

Only met Chulla once. Very humourous, intelligent and welcoming chap. He will be greatly missed.

Enough Den, happy hour, very bueno Amigo, dos pints plus dos Baileys, seven sumat euro, mucho cheapo,

A major contributor to NS. May his prayer wheels spin forever. Condolences to family.

Sorry to read this Kath . RIP Chulla.

A knowledgeable man with an interest in aeroplanes and things mechanical, one time rider of motorbikes, and worked metal, amongst many other interests. A motivator on this site. Condolences to his family.

Mucho cerveza signor?

Hi KJ. I'm truly sorry to hear this news. I always liked and respected Dave. Even on the odd occasions when we disagreed it was always good natured. We shared a liking of music and his poetry was always a good read. Not too mention all of the beautiful pictures he posted from time to time. He is truly a great loss to Nottstalgia and will be really missed. My sincere condolences to all of his family and friends. Dave. LL.

Oh dear, so very sorry Katy, God bless,

Yes Ian it was played regularly on Junior Choice with Ed Stewpot

No shirt man now residing in Hucknall.

I'm very lucky to live in one of the places that has just made the best places to live list in the Times newspaper. Fiskerton cum Morton (also known as Morton cum Fiskerton) are two villages that more or less merge into each other, about 2 miles outside Southwell. The Bromley Arms Fiskerton occupies a lovely spot on the banks of the Trent and to sit by the river on a summer evening enjoying a pint is bliss. There is also the delightful Full Moon pub in Morton. The place has come to prominence recently as the broad band in the area was terrible but due to a self funded diy effort by locals now

I was the night fitter at Trent Bridge depot throughout the 70's - I wonder who your dad is ? - I may well remember him .

Oh I don't know about that Jill at least we were adults and could understand what was happening, however the two ladies made very sure the first thing I did was fit a modern WC.

Not our Ben, then? He wore a liberty bodice! Sensible lad!

The old "Acropolis" is at present being renovated from a god awful chippy & pizza takeaway to something called "Zinger Munch" whatever that establishment might be. In it's day the Acropolis was the best kebab house in Bulwell, I bought my first ever donor kebab there back in the '70s. After a few beers in the 360 club we went in there & was intrigued to know what a kebab was. It was at the time I thought beautiful, never quite understood what the actual ingredients were ! Just checked & is a fast food chicken & pizza with halal, in that case I will steer c

No problem Carni . The Widdowson name came up in connection to the Comery name you were researching . It may jog someone's memory ? More here from previous thread : https://nottstalgia.com/forums/topic/11422-good-old-notts-names/?tab=comments#comment-184887
