Use to live on Denewood crescent early 1970b, went to that school at the top of Denewood, players I think can't remember , but remember it was the year racehorse Persian war ridden by jockey Jimmy uttley won the champion hurdle , I was horse racing mad in them days , all started watching me Dad on a saturday cursing at some horse because it got beat by a whisker ,
Got caught at school I was sitting at the back but instead of concentrating on English lessons, I was perusing tomorrow's runners and rider in the nottingham evening post , they had a tipster called Donovans selections I remember it well , and the clip around the ear from the english teacher too !

I heard the best excuse ever in the pub last night. A friend got a call on his mobile to which he replied ‘I can’t speak to you now, I’m just landing an aeroplane!’
Was drinking bomber ale or shippos ??

Noel street swimming baths , brings fear and memories of a painful sting to my derriere, we used to go there from our school in st anns well road Morley school , I hated swimming then as I couldn't swim so I used to alway devise a plan to lose me trunks that were rolled up in a towel ,
Setting off to school I'd hide them behind the sofa cushion until me mam would shout down the street , yer forgot your swimming kit , plan foiled from the start by yer own mam ,
So plan B was to hide them behind the radiator in the class room , until Mr Wilks said to me are these trunks yours laddie ?
Then plan C came into operation, whilst on the bus to the swimming baths I would carelessly leave the on the seat until a little old lady piped up , ere duck don't forget yer swimming trunks ,
So that was it I would have to brave the water which always felt like the rough Atlantic Ocean, those who couldn't swim had to grab hold of the side in the shallow end and thrash yer legs until they were numb and cold , in between gulping down mouthfuls of chlorine in the water , sometimes the school bullies would try to drown you by trying to take you into the deep end , also sometimes I did manage to mislay me trunks and towel but if you didn't have note from yer mam , you'd get a slipper smacked across yer bum , I always thought a little sting is better than flailing in the water like a titanic victim !

Harping back to the Forest fields area , reminds me of a memory of me and me brother walking back from the forest recreational ground after goose fare had cleared of , we used to hunt for money that folks had dropped and coconuts , we took a shortcut in that cemetary, can't remember the road that ran along side of it , Mansfield road maybe ?
Any way one of the Graves had some very shiny green stones that looked like pirates treasure to me and I scooped a double handful up and put them in me pocket ,
Me brother said don't take them as the ghost of that grave will come to yer house and haunt you !
I said no it's pirate's treasure , any roads that night I got so scared and directly in the morning I said to me brother , come on Kev let's put that treasure back on the grave and say a prayer
The prayer went like this, sorry Jesus, sorry mister for nicking yer green stones , please forgive me and don't come and haunt me tonight , Jesus make that mister stay where he is , and do you think he was really a pirate ? Amen !!!

Wow thanks Ben pretty much as I remember it , thinking of my romance there is stirring me old loins , yes they do get stirred occasionally, I used to have me snap there in my lunch break ,when I worked briefly in a stocking hosiery factory on Greasley Street, I was a shy young Un and the gals that worked there used to rip the fun out of me , enough to make me cheeks red !!!!!!

To have the gas tar bubbles you must live on a road with cobbles
.Of cause where there are cobbles you must have chocks. Chocks not sure of spelling but it was a hole between cobbles for your marbles games.
Yes Leicester street in st anns was a cobble stone street as all the other street in thaf area too , we loved those old st anns streets brings back sweet childhood memories!
