Right LL. How did you guess? We are back home now, on the way for 6.30am, home by 9.15am, just one stop for a sandwich. Not one cream cake has passed my lips today.........but there is time.

You were subjected to such an ordeal after being arrested for "thoughtcrime", the act of THINKING or HOLDING unspoken beliefs or doubts that were opposed by the totalitarian state. In 1984 the past and history were erased, the erasure was forgotten and the Lie became the Truth. To be fair to this Forum and our implicit agreement to no political discourse, I draw no conclusion as to what is happening in the UK right now but leave that thought for you to ponder upon, but be careful because thoughtcrime exists now.,

I don't get to see my sisters much these days, but whenever we are together walking, we would always link arms, or walk with an arm round each other, and sometimes even hold hands. We would kiss on meeting and departing, and we love each other. I'm not stopping it now, but I know what it might look like to people who don't know us. Mind you we all look alike, so perhaps you can tell we are sisters.

In a previous life, you must've been a cat, with an allowance of more than the usual 9 lives.

We do benj, I have one sister here in West Mids, she married a Black Country fellow as well. The twins were only six when I left Nottm, but mum bought us up to be very loving and it stayed with us. Phone calls and Texts always end with 'Love You' and kisses. We are a very sploshy lot. xxx

And you love each other............

They probably loved each other...............

Not that I want to put her in room 101,, but also today went into Bulwell to get some keys cut for the firm I work for sometimes,, and saw an old flame fro early 60s,,who has had throat cancer and can't speak,, said ey-up Josie (shes been on her own a few years) when do you want me to move in with you ? got the two finger sign and silently told me ''F off Ben'' with a lovely smile.... I know she wants me really.......lol.

You couldn't find Carni, Mick? Well, you went to the wrong shops didn't yer? Bakery and confectioners shops where the cream buns are made. I'm sure you'd have caught up with her there. Right! Carni?

Egotistical Ask others about this Manipulative As with controlling Deluded Probably Fantasising Yes... oh boy do I have fantasies

Lived on Ryeland Crescent, across from the nursery school. Then went to Colleygate Infants and then on to Trent Bridge Juniors. Chaplin, headmaster? Introduced me to the cane, would send us to wash our hands in hot water straight after - made the pain worse! Formidable Mrs Carty who had a version of a cat o’ nine tails but used a slipper instead. Milk monitor was a perk cos you could stay in the classroom during break and mess around with girls. Marbles, bulldog, cards, tennis ball footy and winter slides in the playground. Great footy team, Area champions in 68! (Seem to remember we were join

Often was the urge to drink out of town, Some cracking pubs..which are vanishing or have vanished! A few watering holes on a typical crawl.The Langham..or Langers we named it..bit worn around the edges but a cracking pint. Catfan shot rats in here after closing time..honest!..ask him.After drooling at the Ibanez guitars in Carlsboro..over to The Radford Arms for a pint of heavy..'The Crystal Chandelier' was a juke box fave..a Castella and a pint..you were the dogs (?)Smiths were'nt bad. Nice Home Ales head...first came in here as a nipper ..me Dad coached fencing further up at S

I don't think so. I know Viv Anderson did and also Dave McVey

There's love & there's love.

So many hostelries have gone from this whole area. Many Public Houses were from before my time- many of these i was lucky enough to sup in!The Moulders on Bovill St. A place for a Nut Brown with my Gran. and a great springboard for another venue.This is 1976, The Queens on Alfreton Road- i dated a fine thing who worked at JLMS up the road..served as a meeting place.on the opposite corner...a coppers bar in my time, The Forest Inn..a tied Shippos house..now a mini market.Built on what was originally Windmill St. This place always seemed dated..and the guests smoked owt' bar name brands.in

I like a challenge Jill, and today was certainly challenging,, as much as I moaned about the day,,in a perverse sort of way enjoyed it,,what I didn't mention was,i had to go home for my Security licence which I forgot and can't work without,,and on the way had some road rage with an idiot on Southwark street Old Basford, obviously he started it and was in the wrong,,he also threatened violence,, just not my day.......and i'm so nice lol.

Have you always been a masochist, our Ben? Got to be easier ways to earn a crust!

And the gpo

I'm to think to understand the questions or meanings or bothered, read out & answered by Mrs Red she must know after 35 odd years? Comedian - witty sometimes dry Arrogant - sometimes Controlling - can be Self Satisfying - Happy Know it all - now & then In ya face - no Bragging - no Egotistical - no Manipulative - same as controlling Deluded - no Fantasising - can be Pushy - can be Insecure - nah Walter Mitty - O'yes

Used to play cu-can & chase the ace in the Boulevard with the lads from Zaff shopfitters on payday, when I lived on Forster Street, some left skint!

I frequented the Clock in the '60/'70s when I lived nearby. Always was a decent pint in those days. I made a delivery there about 7 years ago for a builder & the "Clock" still appears to be thriving, nowadays ran by a Jamaican fella. Another pub nearby was the "Le Grande" at the bottom end of Alfreton Road, good entertainment in the upstairs room & unusually a Mitchel & Butler pub. Nowadays a Muslim mosque of all places.

The Clock was a cracking well run pub when Kenny Denis was gaffa, I was still operating, dropped in a few years ago after Rock & Reggae on the Forest, remember someone greeting me like I was his long lost mate, not a scooby do who it was?

A typical line up from the period 1975-77: McManus, Richards, O'Brien, Probert, Needham, Stubbs, Carter, Vinter, Bradd, Mann & Scanlon That was a team.

Used to go in some of those plus the Alma and the Clock? On Birkin.

The only things I remember from Blackpool are the Grand National roller coaster, the tram to Fleetwood, the fantastic Wurlitzer at the Tower, and of course the illuminations. Here is Jasper Carrot's slightly rude "Day Trip to Blackpool"

A bloke asked me yesterday & I noticed his expensive trainers ! A polite refusal ensued. Agree about the beach, one of the best I've seen. The town center back streets are very poor though.

I got told off on Battery Island once. Standing in the viewing room of Miss Libertys torch. I began singing "You Pies...we had a wheelbarrer"...

This Nottstalgia thing is getting serious. Yesterday I went online to the Forest store and bought my 4 grandkids some shirts from the sale. 2 X 17/18 season at 5 quid each and 2 X 16/17 season at 3 quid each - what a bargain! Trouble is it cost more than that to ship them. I already have the polo shirt (its getting a bit washed out) but imagine the 5 of us all kitted out walking down Beale St, singing some very inappropriate song, when they next come to Memphis

Returned home today from Blackpool. Had a smashing time with lovely weather. After an absence of 42 years not sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised, town center is a bit like the wild west but half a mile up the coast was excellent. Had a bus ride in Tuesday to Lytham St Annes thought we might bump into carni & Chris but after checking all the fish & chip shops & ice cream parlours they were not to be seen. Anyway will go back again hopefully . Proper trams. Never find a phone box when you want one then 8 turn up toget

Had a goldfish called Terry in one of those small bowls, goldfish bowls? Lived for years, remember one day it not looking to clever floating on its side, me Mam emptied the fluid out of that squezzy thing from the Earex bottle & filled it with brandy & gave old Terry a few shots, swam around upside down for while, but next day was all fit & well lived another couple of years, amazing. Cheers Mam x

Here's a couple for Trogg: 1. Central Caithness; showing Achscorriclate (derelict for many years) and the Caithness Alps and 2. The area of moorland behind Dunbeath in the south of the county. The golden hue in the first photo is caused by the setting sun behind me:

I have a vague memory of going to the Noel St.rink that would be during WW2, It was packed, I can't skate & didn't try! I also remember being in Malta in '47 and visiting 2 outdoor rinks, side by side about the size of a 'bowling green', one for roller skating & ballroom dancing in the other, a 'live combo' played the music for both. PS Neales building had a "Sold" notice on it yesterday!
