A friend of mine was paid for testing cat food for a while. I remember she had to sit some kind of exam during the selection procedure...possibly psychometric tests...to establish who was suitable. For a few hours a week, the chosen ones met in a unit on an industrial estate near Bulwell, where they sniffed and appraised various types of cat food. No identification of the brand was ever given. Occasionally, one looked and smelled so good, my friend would taste it. No one was allowed to take any home for their cat to give an opinion! After all, cats don't buy their foo

"AY - UPP MI DUCK" I met a chap in Nottingham who had come to see the sights; he'd travelled from Blackpool, where he'd visited the lights. "He said " I've been to Nottingham castle though it looked more like a hall. I'v see the statue to brave young Albert Ball. I took a trip to Sherwood Forest and saw the old oak tree, Took a wonder round your council house,sat in the old market square, loved the flowers up the poles, and all the pigeons there. Next the Galleries of Justice , and Tales of Robin Hood, even around the sandstone caves as folks told me that i should.

One for our Ben. Lovely to see people who've been through such trauma enjoying themselves. Get ready, Carni! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-berkshire-48147525/laryngectomy-patients-learn-to-sing-without-a-voice-box

Well Lizzie there was a mummy bee and a daddy bee and a mummy bird and a daddy bird....

Beekay, let me try and explain the post you question. As there's no structured sentences, and seemingly random phrases, some posts are a bit tricky to decipher. Anyway, I'll attempt to help you, and any others who have difficulty with certain members posts. 1, I assume he had a lucky day on the horses. 2, Sly TV. A tricky one this. Are we to assume that this was an underhand deal, involving a 'one off' payment ? Foreign stuff too ! The mind boggles. 3, Treacle is a term of endearment often heard by pseudo Cockneys on Eastenders, whereby an older male is referring to a younger f

Yeah, really good day. My youngest son is 40 today, for goodness sake, how did that happen? Seems like only yesterday ..... as they say. He’d had a very boozy celebration on Saturday with his mates and his brother when they all went down to their Hospitality Box for Saracens last game of the season, I’ve only gleaned snippets of the goings-on and to be honest I don’t need to know more! Yesterday was apparently a day of recovery so he was ok today for the family do. We went down to Hertfordshire this morning and we had lunch at The Bell at Aston Clinton near Aylesbury. In days

Makes NO sense at all. ??

Just settle down in your deckchair BK with your mail order pork pie and a bottle of beer. Don’t let these computer experts blind you with science!

After you've posted the photos on Nottstalgia, do you go back to the photo sharing site and start fiddling around with them ? Are you "tidying them up and putting them in different folders" ?

I feel like BK, I do not triumph? What are you saying Brew? @LizzieM Our daughter in law was brought up in Aylesbury and her parents still live there. Our eldest son met his wife while they were both working in Aylesbury and their first property was in Aston Clinton! No significance really, but just thought I'd mention it...

Your right Nonna, though some speak/post more drivel than others ! I can do me share of waffle.

Well that was popular. We aren't the only ones that post words that nobody understands.

No idea on that one WB,, Edit: Ah Google is your friend, you too. I'll let others look for it..

Is there a clue here? It seems if someone views them soon after posting they can see them but then they disappear after a set time...

Italian, French, Spanish... we seem to be up to our ears in polyglots... any more?

Duke of Edinburgh frantically praying ‘please make it white with straight hair!’

It's a boy! Black with ginger hair.

Sorry friends i must now leave the site as I have a bowls match and you know how long it takes us women to get ready so buy for now. xxxxx

Thank you Mary, you've made me day.

Just read Dutchess of Sussex in labour! What colour will the baby be?

Getting Better now I'm on nottsalgia and spoken to BeeKay

"How's your day"? Well, don't know about anybody else but for a Bank holiday today and Easter bank hols., the TV has been absolute crap !! Just scanning through the schedules on BBC, the programmes all seem to be normal bloody repeats etc. Come to think of it, Christmas worn't much better.! That's me rant of me chest so think I'll stick with the snooker final, (in between NS posts).

I believe that they are vents for the old Nottingham Suburban railway line tunnel, some years ago I saw a photograph of one of the vents in a residential rear garden.

It didn't have fur to walk though, did it Jill ?

This really made me smile. Is this what they really think of us? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-africa-48167754/catwalk-gatecrasher-becomes-surprise-fashion-star

Jill thanks for that absolutely brilliant........and really good listening to their comments afterwards.......which were so true.......xx

I think bringing in highly paid players like Dennis, Hemmings, Enzio and later Vaughan didn’t go down too well with the other members of the squad especially when, with the possible exception of Hemings they didn't perform on so many occasions. It happens so often in football these days. Some of these highly paid prima donnas secure a lucrative contract then couldn’t care less.They still get their obscene salaries no matter what. Some even feign injury because they can't be bothered playing. No pride just greed. One or two of these overpaid wasters are still on Notts books and their cont

Yes. This was Bilborough Grammar School. Looking at the car registration letters this was taken about 1977 so it would have been the Bilborough College by then.

??????????

I only mentioned it in passing and it's stirred up a bit of interest. Delivering to Petfoods once and needed to use the toilet. Was told to "follow the blue line and it will take you straight there. Don't cross the line or go anywhere else". Almost expecting them to say Or you'll be shot !!

Really interesting to read about and be reminded of my first job in Nottingham. I taught at Brooksby when Miss Harrison was headteacher. I remember playing Cat Steven's 'Morning has broken' in my Assembly which she didn't approve of, only now can I respect her reaction. What a completely different world we now live in. I would certainly been out a job I think.

Did this place become a 6th form college at Bilborough?

I've had the same problem but at least it's reassuring to know it's not my fault. Perhaps Compo has a secret weapon we don't know about. Having said that, youve got some lovely flowers Compo. :-)

Mary, it looks just like the frame on my camping tent. Then agen I am a Bedouin !

Its a good job your not in the Olympic's as a javlin thower.

Sunday mornings won't seem the same next summer down under. When I get up and boot up the laptop the first thing I do before checking the weather forecast is to look at the local teams results. Forest first, then the Stags and then County. Next season I'll have to make a bit more of an effort to look up Notts result. I do hope they can bounce straight back and good luck to the Stags in the playoffs

Thats what County need,,some good young(local) players,,and some ideas how to get the crowds back,,ie free admission for under tens and oldies like us,,lol

You might see some aspiring, young, keen players amongst their opponents next year without the overpaid prima donnas of the higher leagues. Plus you won’t have to queue to get in and it will be easy to find a seat!
