That might be the answer BK but to be honest I can’t really be bothered! I have no photos I want to share anymore - nothing anyone else would be interested in anyway. I read all the posts on NS (except the word games) but rarely post anything as I feel I’ve exhausted all my memories - at least all those that I would want to share!!! And I don’t want to keep endlessly repeating things…… I am very content with my life and will continue to enjoy reading all the threads (even though I don’t necessarily agree with - or relate to -everything I read….. ). But that’s just the same

You wanted pictures? How about my Old Grey Fergie?

It was Phil, thought it fit in well with some other items of oneupmanship Rog

My dad had a very old Chaseside bulldozer he brought when he was building his garage at Watnall in 1954 it also ran on TVO/Petrol it had no hydraulics just cables an pulleys i remember the spark plugs would always foul up and he put extenders on them to help prevent it.

If we are on the subject of tractors (sort of) my mates JD at the end of the close Rog

Whilst I’ve still got the photo posting bug how about my 1985 Morgan 4/4 taken at Cadwell Park. That now lives in Australia. I stripped and rebuilt that.

1964 Ford Dexter 2000 with loader.

1952 I believe with the Vanguard engine. It’s the petrol/paraffin version with two fuel tanks. The idea is to start on petrol and run on the cheaper paraffin or TVO as it’s called. Tractor Vapourising Oil is basically paraffin with a few added ingredients. I used to bring it out and put it in the meadow when we had the village open gardens but lockdown put a stop to that and nobody has had the gumption to revive it. I think I’ll tidy it up and sell it. I’ve got another in the back orchard, a 1964 Ford Dexter 2000, which could do with a lick of paint. I’ll see if I’ve got a picture of that some

When people say a newspaper is 'biased' what they're often actually saying is that the newspaper expresses opinions which they don't agree with. Likewise a 'good' newspaper is one which reinforces their existing views.

Still battling with a small Bathroom refurb. If it could go wrong..it has.. and I'm not talking about my own failings for a change.. but faulty products etc... problems ordering stuff and so on.. So anyway.. I'm as certain as I can be that I have prepped the floor for the fitting of 'click vinyl'. That involved lots of sanding and even some planing of old original floorboards plus putting in some new sections. Next will be to put down hardboard lining. Who knew hardboard is supposed to be 'conditioned' for 48 hours by wetting it? Apparently it expands, then shrinks after fitting to prev

That reminds me of the joke A young woman in Liverpool was so depressed that she decided to end her life by throwing herself into the Mersey. She went down to the docks and was about to leap into the freezing water when a handsome young sailor saw her tottering on the edge of the pier, crying. He took pity on her and said, "Look, you have so much to live for - I'm off to America in the morning and if you like I can stow you away on my ship and will take good care of you and bring you food every day." Moving closer, he slipped his arm round her shoulder - "I'll keep you happy and you'

Now then, Beekay taught me how to do it like this on my iPad. sign in to Nottstalgia. At the right hand side at the top of the page there’s a “+” symbol. Click on it and it will bring you to Google search. Enter postimage and from the suggestions click on postimage.org. Go to “choose images” and then photo library.

I assume this is the business in question. The Will Hill shop was on the corner of Trinity Square and Forman Street (to the left); and demolished in the 60s.

Nice to see Radford Red has at least reacted to post (Margie's) even though he hasn't posted yet himself, come on RR used to love reading your posts and enjoying your take on life Rog

It wouldn't fit in the communal car port, so traded it in for a mobility scooter for 'er indoors. ( summat that she's never bloody used !)

Never had a tractor, but I did drive an artic' with a 45ft. trailer. Dint belong to me though, it were the Coal boards.

Bit of oneupmanship there Rog!

Nice tractor phil i have seen the odd one here in Saskatchewan but just sitting in the fields rotting too bad what year is yours? Does it have the Standard Vanguard engine?

What a wet morning, brightened up a bit now, well I've been reading through the pages of the local (to me) web site, someone complaining about kids down the next village shouting and carrying on, I replied "Sooner hear that than be deaf) well talk about opening the floodgates of abusive answers I received, what is it with people who only see bad in young people and are hell bent on condemning their every action, comments from "bad parenting" to "feral kids", well they got a few proper Nottingham answers from me and it seems to have made the problem worse, you got to laugh aint you

I am sure you will see many. It is approaching whale season here when the female Southern Right whales journey up from antarctica to give birth to their young. They often come as close to shore as 50 metres and they truly are an awe-inspiring sight, especially when breaching, tail slapping or just waving their fins about. You get a real sense of the size of these leviathans of the sea. The original whalers who founded our township said that they were the Right whale to hunt as they yielded a good supply of whale oil, our states first export commodity. The whale watchers give each one

The last film we went to see was Octopussy ( Bond), back in the early 80s. It were a little cinema in Deal, Kent. I nodded off, so 'er indoors moved a couple of seats away, to get away from my snoring.

Just posting this to see if I can still do it. It's my next painting project...

Read the report fully and it turns out that the vote for an overarching authority of governance and a single mayor did NOT gain a majority.. The vote was 43% for - 45% against, something they chose to ignore. The hierarchy will be: East Midlands Combined County Authority - 1 The city councils - 2 The county councils - 2 The district/borough councils - 15 The town councils - 351 The parish councils... ?? There will soon be more chiefs than indians. It was mentioned as Stuart says on Pages 110 and 125. My

I have only posted once/twice on this thread. As we have regular people posting maybe you can answer a few questions for me? On May 2nd its the day you vote now we have had leaflets come though our door which say Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire councils are to join forces, they say that the region will be given powers it has not had before with control over a level of funding that will enable long term improvement in the performance of the regional economy of the regional of the prosperity of its people.
