I haven't seentheRed Balloon since probably the 50s or 60s. Didn't it end with the little boy floating away on a big collection of balloons?
Yes he did Col, there should of been a part 2 to see where he ended up , maybe he landed in slab Square, and the locals thought he was an alien so beat the living day lights out of him !!!!!

Not listening, but watching an old French movie short which brought back memories of my childhood, the film Ballon Rouge, or rather The Red Balloon , lovely views of France in the old days too.

In the seventies many pubs and clubs in Sydney had well endowed ladies wrestling in jelly.
Not to forget the 80s "sports" of dwarf tossing where people with dwarfism wore padded velcro suits and were thrown at walls and mattresses or dwarf bowling where a person wore a suit with a handle on the back and was slid down a lubricated slide at bowling pins.
Before anyone get outraged or offended it was done with the consent of the participants.
I believe they have dwarf boxing matches here too in the Philippines, but ive never witnessed it !

David memories of 70s
Mini skirts still in. White plastic boots. big collars on shirts. Long velvet skirts with split up to thighs, hair mid an maxi cuts, curls on top of your head, blouse with frills, and many more??? Picture house's turning into Bingo Hall's.
?
I remember those miniskirts has a boy just turning into a teenager , I had a crush on my sisters friend , they were sitting on a step on a corner street , and I was staring at her legs , and thought my face feels hot , thinking it was her gorgeous legs I looked at my sister who said ha wer , why are you blushings ?

Horse and jockey pub Bulwell, has anyone got any interesting memories in the 70,s ?
In 1978 I worked for Cresta taxis on Main street, I could tell a few tales, not suitable for this site.
Aww yeah I remember Cresta cabs , a funny thing happen to me whilst I lived in Portsmouth, a policeman threw me in a taxi and told the cabbie , get him home ,he's so drunk he can't even walk ,
When we got to my destination , he said right mate that's £3.50 then ,
I fumbled in me pockets and told him I was skint because I've blew it all on beer,
He shook is head in discuss and said go on bugger off !

After renting Private in Carlton........in a place i could'nt really afford.pretty well skint...being a single Parent with several kids but stll working and just returned to Nottingham from a leafy posh Village ,went to see the local councillor for Bestwood estate (Joan Ducker) within 3 weeks she had got me a place like the one above,,got me back on feet and never looked back.......my boys buckled down to their new enviroment,,they kept the place spotless whilst i was working,,had a neighbour do my Ironing,,and a bit of cleaning,,neighbours either side were great too,,one side a bunch of Bikers great blokes who i shared a drink and smoke with 'over the garden fence'' and the other side a chap with many problems with the Police,,even took a Gun off him one night and buried it on the Garden before the Police arrived,,he'd shot it off in Pub in Bulwell.
I was there about 18 months before buying somewhere again,,the Boys tell me ''' Dad they were great days'' which indeed they were,,......i never knock places like the above,,and feel i could still cope with living there again.............

I was born in Carrington. St. Annes Nursing Home on Herbert Rd. I lived in Woodthorpe for 19 years before moving out into, what was then, the back of beyond. I've remained in this village for over 60 years and I'm still not the oldest inhabitant! Woodthorpe was a nice place back in the 40's/50's and still looks ok when I pass through.
I was born in church drive in carrington, I looked on Google maps and it's still there , with a shop on the corner , carrington pottery !

Thanks for that info Barclaycon. Paulus and others (including me) have already commented on the pathetic commentary coming out of Neville's mouth (on another 'World Cup' thread) but I don't think we've ever used the red button in our house, it's complicated enough trying to turn the TV on !!!
Lizzie don't talk to me about tv remotes , once we went to our grand son's house to babysit , and there were about 7 remote controls for various things , so I said to my grandson, Zack how do you turn the telly on , he pointed to a chunky looking remote and gave me a look to say , are you thick !!!!!

Well first off, congratulations for having the 'nous' to look in Horse and Hound.
Thing is David, if he was a 'Career Teacher', it's not surprising he knew nothing, because there was no requirement for Career Teachers to be in any way trained or qualified. The real role of Career Teacher, was to facilitate the activities of the qualified Career Adviser who came from the local Careers Service and who should have been a university graduate with a Post Graduate Diploma in Careers Guidance, plus at least one year post qualifying 'probation', before being let loose on young people. (Like wot I woz..)The Career Teacher role was more to do with ensuring the qualified adviser had access to pupils at key points, organising Careers events etc.
A good Careers Teacher was essential for the smooth operation of the Guidance system in school, but he/she was not meant to be an adviser, though some were better than others.
It's years since I retired, I never worked as an adviser in Nottm and I can't recall the details but I would have put you in touch with a number or organisations.
Edit: I may be mistaken but I seem to recall that Alderman Derbyshire was originally a Secondary School for Girls, called Blenheim School, after the name of the area of former allotments on which it was built. It was re-named for Derbyshire who was something of a high profile local politician and as I recall the renaming was not universally popular.
Thanks Col, dunno about Blenheim girls school , but I remember we had a Blenheim house , can't remember my house name at school , but I give our maths teacher Mr Madeley a right bloody good laugh , as maths was my poorest subject , figuring I didn't have to add up sums riding racehorses , once we had a test , some of the questions went like what is 457× 53 , my answer 23 ?? The maths teacher wrote in red writing on my test sheet you get an A star for your guessing, and making me piss me pants laughing !!!
