[Well done Forest]

Great result!

[Things you can't stop yourself doing]

I play those sorts of games, Jill - not when I want to sleep, but when I'm waiting around for something and bored

[How's your day?]

Great news, Ben.  So pleased for you

[Help! Bus service from City centre or Midland Station to City Hospital]

Thanks Lizzie

[Help! Bus service from City centre or Midland Station to City Hospital]

Thanks all.  In the end, got the free bus from the station to Parliament St and then caught the 89!

Live near London, not in London, and most people drive around here, but not me. I go further afield, too, but have to pay full fare

[Help! Bus service from City centre or Midland Station to City Hospital]

Just want my bus pass, Lizzie - I don't drive

[Help! Bus service from City centre or Midland Station to City Hospital]

Thanks both.  No OAP pass for me - have to wait until I'm 66!

[Help! Bus service from City centre or Midland Station to City Hospital]

Thanks again.  I'm used to the London Oyster card - strictly no cash!  How much is it likely to be, roughly, then I can make sure I have the change

[Help! Bus service from City centre or Midland Station to City Hospital]

Great - thanks for replying so quickly.  Can I pay cash on the bus, do you know?  Haven't caught a bus in Nottm for years!

[Help! Bus service from City centre or Midland Station to City Hospital]

City Hospital map and Bus info online are neither use nor ornament!  Have to visit someone tomorrow, who is in Southwell Ward, which is Yellow entrance and near Hayward House.  Which bus can I get from MIdland Station and City Centre, please, and, if City Centre, where do I catch it?   Can I still pay cash on the buses? Thanks

[Happy Birthday]

Happy Birthday

My Dad is on that Elastic Yarns photo, but as I sent it to the Lenton Times for their website, no doubt they got it from that

[If you like soul music]

I was only 10, then, so would have passed me by!

I thought the same, Jonab, as many are carrying their hats

[Unidentified pic by E.P. Short]

What a brilliant photo!  Can't help with identification of where it is, though.  Looking at the 1911 census, he seems likely to be Ephraim Pope Short, Photographer, living at 35 Derby Rd, Nottingham.  He was still at that address when he died, in 1932

[World War One.]

I've found it in the London Gazette and sent it to Col.  It's not expensive -It's free to search the Gazette

[World War One.]

True - citations for the MM for WW1 are generally not available.  It might get a mention in his Unit's War Diary, or like my Great Uncles MM, be mentioned in his local newspaper.  London Gazette is notoriously difficult to search.  Try searching just using his  Regimental number - nothing else

[How's your day?]

Hope all goes well, Ben, and a trip to Spain will be just the thing!

[World War One.]

And so many lives were lost - don't forget that

[World War One.]

Don't you think that your views are provocative for those who don't agree with you?

[World War One.]

Col at least makes intelligent observations - if you can't be bothered to read  a few paragraphs, then what does it say about you?  A contrary voice against the predominately right wing members (well, those who post).  Would never agree with those who think Thatcher was a "good thing"

[Do You Know What Weekday You Were Born?]

Friday for me - about right!

[If you like soul music]

I love him too.  When did you see him at the Palais?

[Perry Road, Basford]

Great result!
