Went down to the coffee morning in the next village today in my car, got the bike out read to ride there but then the heavens opened up and down came a load of the white stuff, anyway got to the village hall ok and the gent who was supposed to be serving this week had to go home because his wife was taken ill so I stepped into the breach and went behind the counter to serve tea and coffee, I don't mind because any of the people there would do the same for me, anyway, great stories from ex Group Captain of the RAF telling us about his time flying in Phantoms during the seventies, there was a lo

The last monthly coffee morning I attended in our village hall there was nobody but boring old farts there. I felt quite at home!

Yes its wind and hail here too, its stopped play today I suppose its housework today. I have just taken my weeks blood pressure readings into the doctors, hope she is now happy with me and no further tablets. I am on 3 different ones a day now, I have told her that its the stress of living at home but she wont believe me. PS I called in Greggs for a bacon baguette and a coffee to take home and sat in front of the fire with them.

That's not nice... quite unkind in fact...

Don't forget those little shoots that appear between the main stem and a leaf stem can be used, let them grow to about two inches, instead of nipping them out and throwing them, cut them off and put them in some water after a couple of weeks they will have roots on them ready for planting in the pots/ growbags or whatever you use, they will grow into healthy plants at no extra cost Rog

it was dished up at 14.45 hrs, very tasty too Ian, looking forward to my fish and chips from the chip van tomorrow evening Rog

Some folk just don't get "Notts humour" Rog

Think there might one or two on here like that.

I've always said that I should have been a hibernatory creature. I think it stems from the fact that, being born at the end of November, the weather was so bad that I didn't go out in my pram for two months, according to my mother. Spent all that time snuggled up in my Moses basket and clearly acquired a taste for it!

When hedgehogs hibernate, apparently their brain remains dormant so they wake up thinking they are in the same place they were when they went to sleep. I think it’s a great idea, I would quite happily hibernate in my duvet over winter.

I know it. Might be worth a trip, its only half an hour. I could eat them in Stapleford Woods. Keep away from the doggers though!

Irony best describes it!

So you should be Ben. Limond was top drawer and fought some real champions, 42wind from 48 fights. He was the first to trouble Khan. Anyone who went the distance with must have been good...

Skiving again, young Trogg? You'll catch it when the boss finds out.

Can you not take a joke Brew?

It's remarkable where Marsden's opened branches, isn't it?

Yes saw that Jill...........its ok its only Willamena from Portugal.......lovely lass.............

I think it's quite widespread among homo sapiens, sadly.

I wouldn't, Ben, you'll get soaked. Just had a hailstorm and now more rain. Poncing about in the rain ain't much fun. By the way @benjamin1945 I think one of your foreign conquests has been posting messages again.

Stopped here too Trogg..........might go to Bulwell and 'Ponce '' about in me new Jacket.........

The rain has stopped here and the sun is shining ,time to move and out into the garden , many things to do where do I start.

I used a company called "Sunrise transfers and models" they are near Glasgow I think, the mail order is only paid via a cheque no bankcard or paypal, Rog

WET/ WET/ WET No not the group look out your window it's p?????? down again. P??????? Pickling

Great work plantfit. I liked the Atlantean better in the Trent livery. Although I grew up with it the NCT green always looked drab, especially when dirty in the winter.

Most probably it is. You fed it royally in 2023, so why would it go anywhere else. Good thing they're not sociable creatures or it would be telling all its friends about your hog restaurant!

Jill, have just been watching it eat, it’s huge! Maybe it is the one I had last year.

I’m still around. I thought the politics section was getting unpleasant and not in the true spirt of the forum.

Jill Sparrow, Jill Sparrow, we have a hedgehog! Just spotted it and have put some food out. Whoop whoop. Will keep you updated.

Really. Wetting myself! Pathetic. I perhaps don’t mention Tory scandal as you do that very well without my input and let’s face it, they’re a pretty easy target . I just try to point out that you hatred for anything with a hint of blue is always vilified and not always correctly. Angela Raynor, non story or not was widely reported and as I said, had it been a Tory involved you would have, without doubt mentioned it. I don’t think I misreport what you post. It’s just left, left, left and left with a bit more left. I see little centre and rarely if ever a critisism of the left.
