In cuckoo land it is possible,in the real world is a different matter, Rog

My other palatial home. Cheers Me Up !!… Nat. Trust borrowed it.

Reminds me of the other strange fact..........if you want to get rid of a tree you chop it down. When you've chopped it down, you chop it up.

So climate change protesters are clogging up our roads, they want the UK to have zero CO2 emissions by 2025. How is this possible? We'd have no gas central heating, no petrol or diesel vehicles, only solar, nuclear & wind generated electricity. Cant ever see us being CO2 neutral by 2025 or many decade's after...

I agree with that, we should celebrate St George’s Day, why not when we have St Patrick’s Day celebrations? But at the same time, get rid of Commi Day.

Den., would that be personal or football coaches ?? Brew, it's in the kingdom of Norfolk. West of Wroxham. It's called Blickling Hall. Brilliant place ! Bit of a stroll from the car park though. I don't mind, er' indoors now has a blue badge.

Of course, we could beat Mk Dons and Crawley. Yeovil and Macclesfield lose both of their games and come five o'clock on Easter Monday we are four points clear of the drop zone with two games left to play. I'd give up my Hot Cross Buns and Easter Eggs to make that happen.

Nah mate !! Drop in whenever ya like. We'll allus put t'kettle. Beekay. PS we do have a parking charge.

MK Dons & Crawley could finish Notts off Salford & Solihull could replace them Who would of imagined that? Notts have more combined years than all those clubs put together

Fair enough, Brew. I'm ok with a man that knows what he believes and says so. We may not agree on that issue but I know we sure see a lot of things from the same angle.

I'm just teasing LL, just teasing. At the end of the day it doesn't matter it is the message that's important. I'm atheist but my personal values line up with a lot that is preached in the bible but this way there be dragons so we will leave it at that..

No argument Brew. Your point is fair enough. At the end of the day it is not a critical matter to one's beliefs. It has long been said that many of the pictures of Christ which we've seen since childhood may not be a true rendition. He was a middle Eastern man who was probably pretty suntanned considering the amount of time he spent outside.

It's highly probable JC sported a beard, he was a Jew, and they all wore beards back then, and he was also a Rabbi, again all sported a beard back then, I'd hazard a guess you were considered a heathen shaving in those days.

M.J.K., I never realised Douglas school was still going as a Primary/junior school in 1995. Thought it had been taken over by some warehouse or housing group (or summat). Compo if your reading this, I were there 1948-54. Beekay.

I did end up standing next to a bloke with a beard (not to close) today, found myself looking out of interest, think he'd recently eaten a bag of salted peanuts or a Sherbet Dip? ........... Yuck!

Well they had beards in the photographs I've seen of them.

Allegedly. We’re not even certain that Shakespeare wrote those boring plays and that Robin Hood was fact or fiction and they were much more rencent.

Sorry Rog. Couldn't resist it. B.

I think beards are an affectation but currently they seem to be fashionable. Even my own son has recently grown one of which I strongly disapprove. An electric razor for his imminent birthday I think. The Lord Jesus had a beard though, so who I am to criticise?

Looked like an air rifle to me, BK,you can clean your own car now Rog

Somebody's spoilt it by leaving a bike in front ! ( Tongue in cheek Rog.).

I dunno,just asking the question Rog That is on the wall of the Hykeham memorial hall Lincoln

There is a time and place. A stencil on a wall by a wannabe Banksy is not it..

There has been a similar article in the Guardian. I bet DJ reads that!

I read the DM

Acceptable graffiti ? Rog

Daily Mail? Must be true then.

Using the "back in time" feature on Streetview, this is the same location a few years apart. Is it Beechwood in the old photo ?

Trike all cleaned using Meguiars waterless wash and wax cleaner, ready now for a few miles tomorrow Rog

Is Newark trying to keep up with Notre Dame? big fire there this morning,somewhere near the Kelham island, Scrap yard,Sugar beet factory,Rugby club area No news on the BBC as yet Rog

My paternal grandfather, Ted Sparrow, worked at the ROF during WW2. He'd done his fighting in WW1 and rather enjoyed fraternising with the ATS girls at Chilwell, much to his wife's disgust. Precisely what he did there I'm not sure but it was not infrequently that a car would draw up at his house in the middle of the night to take him back to the ROF. He thought that rather grand. It made him feel important. It also woke up my grandmother, the irascible Kate, which was only a good idea if you were tired of living! Kate had worked at Chilwell during WW1 and was playing hookey on the

He was probably doing his apprenticeship the same time as my Dad who was born December 1921. My Dad finished his apprenticeship in December 1942 and joined the RAF and then went back to ROF after the war, spending the rest of his working life in the factory, and hating every minute of it

Ben don't shurrup with your reminising , you reminded me of the park and reignited memories. The fun as a teenager and friends now gone with the "antics" revived. The picnics with my sons on there spending most of the day there, no cash to go on away days but they preferred all day on there and only 10 minutes walk from home. Then taking god children on there for more of the same and finally the showing the grandkids the Jewel of Bulwell. Our forefathers have to be thanked for providing all of these parks throughout our City and County and long may they last. Nowadays no "parkie" to chase you

Had a stroll around memory lane just now,,,,,IE Bulwell Hall Park.........First time must have been about 1950 pic-nic with Mam and Dad,,,then regular with me school mates all thru the 50s on our bikes tearing thru the Woods. Teenage years playing football for different Bulwell teams,,not forgetting lots of ''Courting '' with Christine 'B' from Andover road,,,Margaret ''H'' from Brooklyn road,,,don't know what year it was but purchased the same shirt 'Cliff' wore in 'Expresso Bongo'' to meet Angela 'J' outside the Adelphi,,she turned up with her younger Sister,

Years ago my youngest son lost his wallet on the way home from the pub along a country lane. He never told us, he knew he’d get a good telling off from his Mum! It must have been about 2 years after losing it, he was overseas working and I took a phone call from the local Police Station, asking if he was available. I explained he was away and the copper asked me to go to the station! I was a bit concerned, to say the least, but toddled off to find out what he’d been up to. The policeman on the desk handed me a soggy and very tatty leather wallet containing bank cards, business cards and
