My dads ashes were sprinkled into the sea , me and my brother said afew word in tribute on ryde beach on the isle of wight , then my brother opened the urn and attempted to scatter the ashes in the sea , except we didnt take into account the prevailing sea breeze, the ashes ended up in our eyes and mouth , in our hair ,
So when someone says to me i can see your dad by your eyes , i said you ain't half wrong there !!!

Was away last week, but got to see the Goose Fair this evening for a while, just had a walk around and soaked up the atmosphere, I have always loved it..............People come on trips from all over everywhere to spend time here, we are lucky to have such an event here in Nottingham..........
How many of us used to go down to the goose fair site as kids when they cleared off ? Looking for dropped pennies and coconuts , or any other treasure you could find , me and my brother did , we'd walk there from the old st ann well area.

Funny thing happened to me when i was a porter in a portsmouth hospital, a male patient was a asleep in his bed , i was fiddling about with a bed break , when i stood up , and he awoke and said "where'd you come from "
I said nottingham , he said "no, i mean where the bloody hell did you spring from "
I said still nottingham mate !!!

Just seen a stupid video on Facebook of a 'lady' eating one of these sausage rolls. She was being timed as she stuffed it into her mouth - and she finished it in 8 minutes 41 seconds.
Stopped her nagging the husband for abit any roads !

Well, you can never go home again...so they say.
My mum was from Strelley, dad from Sneinton. I was born in Bridgford - we lived in the council houses in Edwalton for years. I got out of Nottm in 1982 and hit the M1 for 'The Smoke' - reappearing for a few months in 83-84 - and never went back. Lived in the USA, Israel, Sweden, Mexico and now Canada.
Mixed feelings about Nottingham - like I never really knew it very well...just a lot of jumbled-up pictures in the head: The Gaumont cinema (where I saw my first film, 'The Aristocats') and the County Hotel opposite, next to the Theatre Royal. I remember Carrington Street before Broad Marsh was built and walking down Meadow Lane - the old man half-pissed after several hours in The Bendigo while his folks looked after me in their little house on Sneinton Hollows - to catch the bus on Arkwright Street (right by Andy Bone). The park behind the West Bridgford UDC offices on Central Avenue - they had a yellow-painted tractor set on concrete blocks that I played on while the old man went to pay the rent. The old Wilford Brick Pits in the fields between Ruddington Lane and Walcote Drive. The big crash barrier on the BR rail test track by the old Edwalton station. The toll bridge at Wilford - when you could drive down Queen's Drive (?) under all the oak trees and across the bridge. Goose Fair, picking up all the .22 brass cartridge cases after the fair had gone to take them to a scrapper. I remember the opening of the Victoria Centre - an eerie experience as there were still lots of empty shop units. I remember catching the Midland General buses from Mount Street (B8) to go see Gran in Bilborough - Mount St bus station was a horrible place; the scary walk past the never fitted shop-units, dark and gloomy. The Odeon and the ABC cinemas (not forgetting the Savoy, on Derby Road).
You can never go home again...perhaps I never wanted to.
Funny that you mentioned that ,the film the aristocats , remember our grandma bostock taking me and my brother kev to see that when we were nippers , my granny fell asleep and her false teeth kept rattling and whistling me and our kid either side of her had a fit of the giggles , it was funnier than the film !!!

Talking of MARDY , That's what my sister would say to me whilst waiting for the bus to school in the middle of a frozen january , "shut up you mardy baby , you're so nesh" as i cried with hotaches in me hands and feet , i was only 6 a d a little midget gem !

@davep5491 thanks for that information , i think jeremy is into buying young horses now and breeding , much safer than life as a jump jockey !

@MargieH dont worry my sister decided we sneak it in the house , my dad said get that thing out of here , but the next day my dads heart had soften and he lets us keep him a little black bundle of fun we called sooty , we lost him for a week , but someone on our street found him down his cellar ,
My sister Helen was always bringing cats home , i remember another cat stuck on someone bedroom window ledge , forgot how we got him down but he was another addition to our family we called him sparky !!!

Talking of suckers or lollies , I'd go around collecting these sucker sticks and break them in half and write horseracing names on them and race them on my shiny window sill , then again i was racing mad , even a nine year old kid in 1966 in st anns well area of nottingham !

@nonnaB jeremy glover went on to be a racehorse trainer but i think he retired in 2010, in the wiki it said he was a son of a managing director of a soap and chemical company , anyone got a clue what that company was called ? And it said Jeremy was born in Beeston .
When i lived in Bulwell hall, there was a newsagents turn right at the bottom of springfield avenue , forgot his name but remember he only had one eye , was talking about horseracing to him and he said he new Jeremy glover , and for any horseracing fans jeremy worked for famous jockey come trainer Stan mellor.

Once on a day trip by coach to Skeggy with my best mate at school , as we passed through the country side my mate pointed to a big manor house through the trees , and said "there's that all " i said what hall is that ? He replied " bogger hall " and laughed uncontrollably, and once we stepped off the coach at skeggy seafront , i noticed the bracing sea hair go right through my polyester short sleeved shirt , and said come on lets get into the nearest pub , i am freezing , which turned into a pub crawl and hunt for where the coach dropped us off !

Since work ended 4 years ago ive struggled for 'Hobbies and interests''...........don't even read as much as i once did...I have in the region of 300 books....mostly Autobiographies and sporting themed.............along with many of the History of Nottingham and anything ''Spanish''...........
Anyway being bored the other day decided to move them all in their cases into the 'Hallway''........what a job...i do enjoy re planning the furniture etc in the Bungalow...even though its quite small.......i was best part of 3 hours getting everything cleaned and re-sited........going through all my books brought back lots of memories.......of when and where i bought them.....many had little notes inside with the date..place and who i was with when purchased.....
For some reason when i had finished i had a spare shelf.......and decided to select half a dozen Biographies with pictures of some of my favourite characters turned facing out...and Michael Caine...Ray Winstone...Peter Bowles....George Best..Jimmy Greaves...Freddie Starr..........were my chosen ones........
reasons for my selections.......Jimmy Greaves........best goal scorer England ever had....and great on TV with Ian St John....
Always enjoyed Michael Caine films...
Ray Winstone..........my favourite ''Cockney Geezer...'''
Peter Bowles......always very smart...could play serious or comedy...plus almost local...
Freddie Starr......just about the funniest bloke ever.......
And finally the greatest footballer of our time........Georgie Boy''....and i had the honour of ten minutes with him over a drink.......
Same as i said......sadly got no hobbies......hope i did'nt bore you........but i enjoyed telling you all that.........if i had a larger Bungalow could make it a 'HOBBY'
You'd need a big bungalow to asked that lot around for a drink up , Benjamin, keep em away from joan bakewells legs though , they might get their fingers burnted , as they were hot !!!!
