Don't worry letsavagoo, it happens to the best of us. Seems no matter what words you put in the search box, nowt comes up. Apparently you have to hold your mouth just so!

Jill, we were walking around a swap meet (mostly tat market!) this morning and there was 1 fella on his lonesome wearing saffron robes. Made me think of both you and Chulla!

I had the ‘pleasure’ of working at D&P as a Saturday job. It was like Grace Brothers. Frank was the old guy, the suede head was the youngster, can’t remember his name. Then there was the lady who sat in the cash booth near the front door. Boys’ dept to the left, girls’ to the right. I was forever ever packing and unpacking shirts and jumpers in their cellophane packaging when mummies wanted their little angels to try on half a dozen different ones before deciding. Lunch and and tea breaks were in the rat-infested basement. I got got sacked

After a spiderless few weeks I came home tonight after a pleasant couple of hours at the local pub to find a humganeous (spelling?) monster on my living room wall. Thought it was Brock from my side store room but he has been sticking to the rules of his tenancy just coming out occasionally to say hello. This one was even bigger, perhaps his dad looking for him? With trepidation I went to get my trusty spider catching kit (minus the brush this time) and got back into the room and with horror saw it disappearing behind my sofa. No way was I going to sit on my sofa with that monster lurking behin

That was the Rolls on the cover of that Oasis album FLY. Submerged in the swimming pool at Stocks in Aldbury, Hertfordshire and with a false number plate I believe. I went there many times, not dressed as a bunny girl I hasten to add.

Nothing special about this number plate because 50 years ago I doubt many people even considered spending money on ‘special’ ones. However this Rolls Royce Corniche still has its original registration and doesn’t look bad for an old motor that was originally owned by The Who’s Keith Moon, this one didn’t end up in a swimming pool and sits mostly in our neighbour’s drive in Dorset.

Trent Bridge a long time ago. The main building in the centre is still there on Hound Road.

Both topics now merged into here.

Ben, don't forget that famous female Aussie fast bowler...…….. Lillian Thompson

Ben, I was lucky enough to see Derek Randall's innings in the Centenerary test the first year we came to Oz My first pick in the team would be Larwood to give 'em a bit of chin music. Then Boycott to make them earn their wickets not give them away Just seen the England "batting coach" interviewed on TV, he still thinks England can win! After that performance I wonder why he still has a job.

Dave, ALL ants swarm from piss ants to carpenter ants and all in between. I think Carpenter Ants are far more destructive than termites, probably because the ants are adults and huge at side of termites, 3/8" average size to almost 1/2". Termites are just small "ants".

Boycott Hutton Cowdery Compton Edrich Bailey Evans Lock Laker Trueman Statham That do ya Oz.......lol Edit,,or even bit of Notts'' Simpson Hardstaff Robinson Randall Bolus Broad Meads Swann Hemmings Larwood Voce All good Notts Englishmen..........

I have given up on Exact Audio Copy. I used to use it to copy CD-RWs made from vinyl transfers on my Yamaha CD recorder.. as it meant I could use ordinary CDRs.. which cost nowt.. rather than the CD-R 'Music' ones which are the only ones which work in the CDR (Serial copy management.. music industry levies.. etc.) But EAC has stopped working for me, despite installing the latest version etc. Anyway. The Innuos has a fab reputation for the solidity and ease of use of its internal software etc. So, I've downloaded the Orange Squeeze app from Google Play, to an old cheap tablet.

Cleethorpes always had a strange fascination for me,..........never holidayed there but worked there alot in my days with VG stores and the Coop...........on the one hand you could say it was miserable and very run down,...........with some miserable people,..........ie.............Fish/chip cafe on entering greeted me with 'We close in ten minutes'........another Cafe where i complained i had an Hair in my Cob'.....yes its the new girl we are training her''........Dolphin Hotel (that was) told me 'you can't stay next week Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen have booked the hotel''..........i'd stayed
