My Daddy used to be a singer and my Mom has an album he made on 78! He sounded just like Sinatra, but I guess he just didn't know the right people. There were many guys back then that sounded like Sinatra though!! I had never even heard of 78's until she showed me that!

Mick, you are a fountain of knowledge!! !clapping!

Mick, it doesn't seem anybody noticed anything out of place!? Anyone for some shopping with Daddy's credit card and some Starbucks later?!!!

Was that something about spelling...comuter help??? I often need help on my COMPUTER, but I don't think I even have a comuter! Now, I'll hold you down, but who's going to do the punching in the a@$!? I must say I totally agree with you though, I don't understand half of what people are trying to say! Now I hear that kids are hiding things from their parents with something called "Leet speak". It's where they encode what they're writing by replacing letters with symbols that semi resemble the letters being replaced. I won't even let my kids on the internet unless I'm watching them. Too many p

OK, I understand that it's a radio of sorts, but what exactly is ham, and why do you need a license?

I use orange marmalade on my ham while baking!

I use Ad-Aware SE for adware and spyware which works quite well, as well as Microsoft Antispyware.

Your going to strip now!!!!? Just teasing caz, I wear red all the time, it's my favorite color and I've been told it looks nice on me! (You know, red stilettos and red patent leather outfit!!)

I think they got their colors backwards, shouldn't the Slut be wearing red?!

This one is about 6'4", and thin as a bean pole!!

I'm guessing late 30's, maybe 40. His mom lives in Cape Town now, and I think he has gone to live there too. When I saw him last year, he said he and his brother were trying to start up a business in Manchester and if things didn't work out, he'd be moving there too.

Somewhere around the castle sounds good to me, and by all means, bring the clan!! My 3 boys will be with us! Post a response on the calendar event (July 29) and if we get more suggestions posted, we can vote on the venue. If you're not sure how to post to the calendar, go onto the calendar page (top right corner next to Members) then scroll down to where you can choose the month, go to July, then click on the 2nd Annual Nottstalgia Meet-up link (on the 29th), and reply with a suggested venue!!

That's it! Horse and Jockey, had lunch there, yummy! I love pub lunches. !hungry! I'm not sure if Bip has taken on the job of planning the meet-up, so far nobody has posted any possible places on the calendar so...make a suggestion!! I'm thinking around lunchtime, somewhere with outdoor seating might be good then the kids can run around, and the parents can mingle. Any ideas?

I'm not gone Bip, I'm just having server problems again!

My mom's friend picked us up from the train in Alfreton, and took us to stay at his fathers house in Ripley. He lives just down the hill from the town square across from a pub. (sorry, can't remember the name of the pub, Horse and Rider maybe?! I'm pretty sure it's Something and Something, that helps, huh? )

Are you planning on attending the meet-up in July? I put a post on the calendar for July 29th, if you have any suggestions for venue, reply with your suggestion. That includes everybody, submit your suggested venues, and then maybe we can have a vote on it.

My map is of the whole country, so it only shows a few things near Ripley...Alfreton, Heanor, and Belper. Are you in between Ripley and one of these?

Actually I was mistaken about Ripley, he lives in Borrowash near Derby. I thought it was Ripley, but that was just where my moms friend lives that we stayed with during last years visit. What town do you live in Mr. Rob? (I have a map handy!) B)

No pub crawl this year!! Or at least not the one I'm going to! We drink in front of our kids, but responsibly! !cheers! If everyone wants to get drunk and stupid (which I must add, nobody did last year), then schedule a different meet-up where that's on the agenda. This one will be a kid friendly daytime event. By the way, has anyone seen anything from Mick lately, where has our leader gone?

Did you happen to frequent the Astoria Ballroom Flat Cap? My mom used to go there every weekend, her name was Hazel Tunnecliff.

Touche'!

Did the Palais used to be the Astoria Ballroom then? My mom said she used to go there in the 50's.

My mom told me about the place with the revolving dance floor, I think she said it was the Astoria Ballroom, then it changed to something else? The Palais and The Sherwood Room sound familiar.

The friend I ran into at Heathrow last year was from Long Eaton. He was a police officer when we first met him in 1987, his name is Jonathon Stone. Anyone know him? What ever happened to our Nottscop member, he might know him?

Caz, I don't think these guys realize how replaceable men really are...for instance I am sitting here very happily eating a raspberry flavored chocolate truffle. Am I the slightest bit interested in men right now?! I think not!!! If I start to show a little concern about how insensitive men can be, I'll just pop another one in my mouth! Come to think of it, this would go quite nicely with a glass of Shiraz! Then again, it's only 9:45 in the morning, perhaps a little too early for the chocolates even.
