Really sorry to read this Ayup but I’m not at all surprised by your decision. The troublemakers on this forum have a lot to answer for. Thank you for your endeavours to keep control of things and hope you will continue to look in ...... if, indeed, Nottstalgia exists for much longer. A very sad situation.

I only resigned as an Admin, I'm not leaving the site...LOL

1/ need to stop people quoting last item.. 2/ have a thick skin 3/ have plenty of time to spare 4/ learn how to deal with ''Assholes'' 5/ be a nice person 6/ oh yes a ''sense of humour must help''

@ Tompa, "How do you get to be an Admin" First Mick has to know you and trust you, he's known me since he started this site, he also knows I'm owner and Admin of a site older than this one, so he could check on how I run that site. So far his only criticism of me is I'm not tough enough, other than that he obviously trusts all his moderators, the rest he's met many times in person, I'm the only one he hasn't met yet, but hoping one year he visits the states, he will drop by my place and spend some quality time with myself and my wife, maybe do a bit of target shooting and downing a few

Also, be well prepared for criticism, and dealing with people who possess different views and opinions.

This is not the site I joined all those years ago, no longer able to post what you want "within reason" admin and mods frightened of upsetting snowflakes and thin skins, the delete/hidden button is all too easy to use these days, what has happened to this site? What has happened to proper Notts folk, losing their identity thats what, no longer allowed to have an opinion and say things how they are,I don't agree with posting hurtful things but come on Nottstalgia get a life, "Think before you "Delete/Hide" Rog

So, if I understand correctly the posts I put on here is decided by Admin and Mods and their opinions as to what is suitable, so what happens if Admin & Mods have different opinions. I have seen many times posts on here that should be " Hidden or " Deleted " All seems a bit hit and miss. One member on here, (no names no pack drill ) posted content that Admin or Mod disagreed with and was told off , and not only that it was there for all to read, which I and many others thought was very unfair.

I'd better get some interviews lined up then............Venue Costa Coffee,, Bulwell main st, outside smoking area. Now what we looking for ? 1/ someone that knows about computers,, would be good,, 2/ Ex Pat or local ? don't spose it matters,, 3/ Must be thick skinned 4/ Not afraid to reprimand folk,, or even Ban em,, 5/ Good organiser for ''Chulla-ups'' 6/Must'nt be Racist ,,Misogynist, or anti LGBT 7/ Bit of a Snowflake is ok,, 8/ non Political Bring your CV with you on the day,,,packet of Fags and enough cash to buy me a double Espresso..

Rog,the 67 carried on up Green Lane as far as the junction with Manor Farm Road/Langstrath Road. The buses would pullover to the wrong side of Green Land and then under supervision of the conductor they would back into Manor Farm Road , before pulling back out on to Green Lane to wait time at the NCT clock. I can still recall the juddering sound that the drum brakes made when they were applied at the end of the reversing manoeuvre, caused by the shoes protesting about operating "against the grain".

Somebody call. WBUDC's last new vehicles were single deckers, three AEC Swifts numbered 43-45 (NAL 543-545F), which NCT took into their fleet as 704-706. Mick At least one if these was at Bulwell during your time there and was often used on the paddy.(Translation for non bus workers, the paddy was the staff bus that ran after normal services had finished to get bus workers back to their homes.)

The most offensive post concerning Shamima Begum was actually yours Ayup? See above, usually you stick LOL the end of your so called funny posts, you shouldn't really laugh at your own jokes & I don't think no one did?

'Second star to the right and straight on till morning..' (Actually.. being a bit of a namby pamby Snowflake, I prefer 'second star to the left..', but it's no biggy...)

Cognito ! Where's that, South America ?

Nobody said the job was in Cognito. Too far for me to travel I'm afraid .

Will 10am Thursday be ok Ben I will be dressed in black wearing a veil, i wish to be incognito.

Done plenty of drilling out of the brass rivets,removing old linings and re-riveting new linings myself, quite an art to get the rivets lined up correctly so they sit in the counter sunk holes level, that was when the linings had a lot of asbestos in them, no wonder my breathing is shot Rog

If I remember only NCT went via Clifton Bridge, where's Deepdene when you need him ?

Just wondered because when I was a kid and living at Clifton the buses were NCT,South Notts and West bridgeford, NCT and South Notts had single deckers but can't remember any WBUDC,, I think all if not most West Bridgefords were low deckers because of the Wilford lane GCR bridge, can never remember any of them going over Clifton bridge Rog

Not as far as I know but Deepdene will be along soon to clarify !

When Shamima Begum returns I heard Prince Philip will be driving her home !

Did West Bridgeford (WBUDC) every have any single deckers? Rog

NCT had a wrecker based on a Matador a few years ago.

John. I just don't know what to say. You've always done a great and fairminded job. Thank you. I hope you'll still drop in when you can.

Gardner oil engine truck Rog

Such a shame that you've been unceremoniously driven out John. You'll be sorely missed.

Just to get back to the Shamima Begum case before the delete/hide police start hitting buttons, has anyone thought that with her being a vulnerable 15 year she was let down by the British establishment in allowing her to be brainwashed by some terrorist organisation and why as a minor was she allowed to leave this country unaccompanied by an adult, don't think I'm defender her,I am certainly not and believe this country is better off without such heartless,UK hating people,It's just a question that has not cropped up in this thread Rog

There comes a time when it is prudent to Stop digging Rog

Day for shorts and bathers?

Harvey Hadden did keep his promise about helping the youth of Nottm. Before his death in 1931- he left strict instructions along with £30,000 to build a Stadium.

A fine copper of the old school variety. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/feb/17/john-stalker-obituary

Newport County - Manchester City one day Notts County the next, and I reckon the Stags felt sorry for them and didn't try too hard. I wonder if that has ever happened before, playing the side at the top of the league one day and the very next game the side at the bottom of the league.

Right, and straight, that's me Col, but I certainly don't profess to be a star.

All the best to you John , sorry that you taken that decision

All the best to you John..............

Forgot to add the South Notts buses also ran out of Huntingdon street, i think all of those buses went to Gotham,East Leake or Loughborough via Parliament street,London road, Wilford lane,Clifton lane,Gotham lane,If I caught the South Notts from Parliament street (near NCT offices) I could get off at the top of Farnborough road,I lived about halfway between that bus stop and the 68 terminus so had a choice of of buses to get home on. I remember now the 67 reversing into Manor farm road, was it the 61 and 61a that reversed into Summerwood and the 68 into Pastures avenue, I used to live just up

Yes we had 706, quite a bit of over hang at the back used for service extras & as you say by the paddy driver, Fred Elvin !

I do try !

It will be a great loss to many modelers

Tek no notice Barrie.......some folk just can't help it........was going to put LOL........but some folk moan about that as well....................

Well, you learn something every day! Just noticed this. It would appear that, prior to the building of The Manning, there was housing running across the site...Wilfred Avenue...and Stanley Road ran right down to Gregory Boulevard. I had no idea.

covered that FLY...............Under Assholes.................lol....................only joking

Beware the Derby "Duck" thieves. On a coach trip through Europe recently a small group of Derby folk were telling the rest of us Nottingham folk that "ayup me duck" was a Derbyshire saying. Even in hotels and restaurants they were trying to get the waiters to say "ayup me duck" and telling them it was Derbyshire lingo.

Is " hidden " another word for deleted?

Don't forget Rog..i have those photos for you..our kid Pennyfarthing racing in the 60's. Harvey Hadden himself, was born in the Park in 1851..he ran the family hosiery firm J&S Hadden..then went to Canada ..making a fortune in land investments.

Seems to me , to be a massive over reaction to an innocuous comment.

Been there many times Rog, an excellent place to spend an afternoon at least, & it's completely free to, unlike this rip-off money grabbing money wasting city council we have. https://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/heritage-and-tourism/museum-of-lincolnshire-life/

Why not just buy a ready made loaf from Tesco ?

Or swapping one bad habit for another !

OK then, so who is the oldest & who is the youngest member here. ? I reckom Melissa is the youngest.

Well done to the 2 punters in Croxteth who had a hefty bet Rooney would get a red card in the 73rd minute.
