More like 'Hows your yesterday' but just wanted to share my day with you as it's a while since I had anything Nottinghamish to write. Yesterday we had cause to head to Nottm, we didn't visit anyone because Chris is recovering from the virus that is doing the rounds and didn't want to pass it on. We just dropped Granddaughter off at Nottm University, she had to attend a seminar. She has a place offered, if she gets the grades. She is hoping for Warwick but is more than happy with Nottm. After dropping her off, we headed for the Embankment to enjoy our picnic, then d

Well with the height of his socket he doesn’t even need to bend to plug it in.

You have to pick your time when posting anything interesting, it will only get buried under word & song with little or no views, now could be a good time, while their having a afternoon nap? Here start you off with this gem, it's a cracker, loving the mini van, the chimney gets a mention in other threads, which I was going to put it in the other day, but the gamers where on, it would only get lost.

Roll on Skeg & some of this, won't be long before summer !

Erm, Most of my memories are spent around the paddling pool,. Relations living in the meadows, so spent family times playing with cousins on the grass, picnicking days. and doing a bit of talent spotting around early teenage years. We never had any money, so the Embankment was always a place you could spend a few hours for nothing. Mam would sometimes be with her sister at her house and we would all traipse there for water or sucker money. Loved the Milk or Banana Suckers.Mmmmm. Just a thought. Are there any toilets there anymore. The ones in the gardens a

Don't think we need any, we all seem well mannered & respectful & there's only about 12 of us to control? Who checks the checker? Who managers the manager? Who moderates the moderators? EhhEhh!

Station House, Bulwell. Now a Doctor's surgery.

Love Beeston weir especially when the Trents high.

Have to agree it don't warrant a big diva type announcement, it can be done private. Anyway good luck youth.

Could have been from meadow lane? Notts Clownty fans coming back to earth?

Be nice Col,, remind me nearer date,,

Let’s get this ‘Day Trip’ topic back on track as I’m old enough to remember when half the back page of the E.Post listed all the different rail trips available that weekend. (full page at Bank holidays) As a railway fireman I also worked on quite a few, the first one I remember was Easter Sunday 1950 when the Ilkeston Labour Party ran a trip from Ilkeston (run round the train via Bennerly Junc.) to Rhyl. Nth. Wales. 10 coaches & a ‘Black 5’ in charge. Bit of a ‘hic up’ at Crewe as no conductor to Rhyl waiting , 20 minutes before one turned up looking forward to the overtime he would be

Not much wrong with this Forum in my opinion - I read the Topics I'm interested in then hit the "Mark Site Read" button !!

Many think that too CF.

Went in the garden around 4.30 this afternoon.. it was quite warm and the ground is just right for weeding, so worked for about an hour as it was still light enough....... I love it that the evenings are getting lighter now. The cats loved my being outside and were 'helping' me by rolling over on the soil where I was working. I had to keep moving them along. They get quite frivolous when the weather is warm and we are working outside!

I’ve flown into Old Warden many times plus lots of visits by road. You always used to get a strict briefing from air traffic before departure about ‘no showing off’. I used to keep the aircraft on the runway for as long as possible and haul it off at the last minute before we went through the hedge! I live to tell the tale.

Yes Ben ! There's a nice bronze statue in the cafe at the top as well.

Went to the Playhouse last night to see Wonderland, a play about the striking Nottingham miners. Very good play even if the accents weren't quite right.

Frivolity is now banned for ever and ever.

We saw that small exhibition in the museum when we were there, about 5 years ago, Ben. But I didn't look at it much as I'm not really interested in boxing... sorry x

plant fit get a cordless then you don't have to exert yourself to plug it in

OK. I’ll kick it off. I propose Nonna!

It wasn't easy.. probably why I gave up after only 50 years....

Then an early night if poss as will be on a train from Wigan 06:30 tomorrow heading to the Bristol Hi Fi Show and not back till about midnight. All go lately....

Not too short, now!

Anymore Predictions Kid?

Blimey Albert, modern day elfinsafety would have apoplexy over that shift.

That's where I would respectfully disagree DB. I don't really have anything to hide, but it's nobody elses business where I am, what I buy and sell, what shops I might visit and how much I spend. more dangerously than that. What if a particular government decides they don't like my political leanings, or maybe what books I might read. The list is endless when you think about it. The day could come when THEY knock on your door in the middle of the night. After all, they know where you are. It's happened elswhere.

Not a problem if you have nothing to hide

Three numbers on the lottery tonight, would normally be £30, but it was the final rollover draw and nobody had all six numbers, consequently the pot was cascaded down through the prize levels. Three numbers tonight = £153.00

Sounds like you have a great relationship Trogg,,,,and God bless you,,,,we are all different and who's to say who's right,,,so long as you are happy,,,i have two ex wives and wish them all the best.........first wife lovely girl,,all my fault,can't say any ill of her at all,,.................second wife ,mostly my fault but not all,,still see her and love her like a sister,,,she talks posh now,and when we mix in other companys ie her friends,,i whisper,''what you talking like that for ? She smiles and whispers back ''f... off Ben'' i love it,, reckon she does too............lol

Ben I have a major problem my wife understands me and tolerates me. She must do we have been married 52 years this June, we met when we were both 17, she does roll her eyes regularly I just don't know why. As a Hucknall girl born and bred she knows many people in Hucknall , when walking through town she complains that I am always stopping talking to people ,she says she doesn't mind but most of them are women. I use to always be in bother when I was younger but I found out you had more fun being a lover not a fighter. I knew I was past it years ago when she said I could go out when I want , wh

You may think ''what does Donna make of some of the things i say about other women on here'''? well she just laughs and calls me a 'Twat' When i told her i was off to Norwich for a few weeks (home at weekends) she just said OK love,,,tried to provoke her by saying ''had a few flings there ya know'' yes i know duck youve told me before''' you do realise if they still alive they probably in their 80s and can't even remember you''' Cheeky Git........lol

Colly410, here's few pics for your wife of some findings from an historical dig at Tattershall Thorpe Lincolnshire when I worked in the quarry, it is of an early settlement well timber lining, they had to use timber linings because with the ground being sand and gravel once the water seeped through the sides would collapse Hope they are of interest

Steve, if you use a computer to access the internet, you will find a few documentary sites, you can down load the docs and record them later for playing back, I do this all the time with movies and Documentaries. It's even possible to download HD videos from Youtube via certain sites by copying the URL of the Youtube video and pasting it in the download window of those sites. One of the funniest Documentaries I watched was about vaginas, YES, vaginas, where young women are self conscious of the shape etc... Interesting to say the least and a good laugh as well.

Glad to have been some help colly.

We lived there in the shop on the corner of Mayfield grove (No 43), My Mum and Dad ran the shop, it was an off license, I remember the nursery school facing one side of the shop, used to walk past it on the way to Collygate. I remember MR Conolley, he was the only person I remember on that row of houses, he used to sit on the doorstep singing Irish songs, I used to be mesmorized by his singing, then he'd ask me to nip to the shop for 10 No.6 tipped, which my dad would give me and I'd deliver them safely. I was born in 1967 and we left the shop before it's impending demolition in May 1974.

Lovely evening tonight by the river at Burton Joyce . Had a very fleeting visit and a meal at a surprisingly busy (or short staffed) Ferry Boat . Watched someone on the opposite side drive down and set up for an evening BBQ , so spring must have sprung .
