'Lillee c Willey b Dilley'

I've encountered the odd Chinaman heading for the bales before swatting to extra cover.

Yes I think you're right, Benji. Like football there is probably just too much of it. It reminds me of what Cloughie used to say when we started to see football on the box every day, 'You don't want roast beef and Yorkshire pudding every day and twice on Sunday'. They ram these things down your throat all the time in order to make more profit but it only serves to take away the 'event' and the 'specialness' of it for want of a better word. It's a long time since I watched regularly but I used to really look forward to the Tests like you and also enjoyed the three-day county game and John Pla

Well done England and Stuart Broad. I'm less interested in cricket than I used to be but some of that is probably due to being time-poor as goes the modern vernacular. Another here who used to correspond regularly with Rob 237 and always enjoyed his writings. The site misses his input but then any forum would miss those kinds of erudite, knowledgeable and well written contributions.

There might be one or two on here that wouldn't be averse to downing a couple of bottles of these in their memory.

#41 For you sir. 'Review: An Evening With... Paul Gascoigne, Theatre Royal, Nottingham By NottmPostEG | Posted: January 10, 2016 By Ian Page The greatest English footballer of his generation, Paul Gascoigne, was in Nottingham performing his no-holds-barred stage show at the Royal Concert Hall. As a huge football fan, this was an exciting prospect for me but I have to admit, along with a few others I spoke to, that we arrived with a little trepidation as for what the evening held in store. But we needn't have worried – Despite all of his much publicised personal issues Gazza, as he's kn

I know The White Cockade and I know the significance of it.

An important factor and one that has been neglected and little comparatively spoken of in my view. Not much point in finding an effective way of shipping bodies into the city centre if fewer and fewer people want to go there or more importantly no longer have employment there for the reason you touched on.

Share many of your reservations about the tram, Catfan. All fair points I think. Also been on the brunt end of the Workplace Parking Levy at Jubilee Campus Nottm Uni (which is hardly the city centre of Nottingham in my view as an aside). I have no sensible way of using them where I live either. Good for some no doubt. Jury still very much still out for me I do think that people getting on the tram have a personal responsibility to get a ticket before they get on though. It's not anybody else's fault if they didn't get there in time to acquire one. Them's the rules. As a caveat to that I have

Thanks, I wondered if it was a tannery smell. Tanneries are depicted in the immediate area in the City of Caves?. It's a well-worn cry of Nottingham folk, the loss of this little road - along with the likes of the Black Boy and Victoria Station etc but what a terrible crying shame it was demolished. If only there have been just a little foresight at the time. What could have been.

What were the aromas of Drury Hill, CT?

Interesting yet incredibly sad to witness Tommy's decline during those years. He was renowned for holding court and buying people drinks at his pub in the Magna Carta in Lowdham. The Patterdale Road address is off Somersby Road in Woodthorpe, a couple of roads on the right going up the hill if I recall. The Evening Post offered him a lifeline as a columnist when he lived there so there was a slightly more positive ending to his story. I recall Tommy's account of his lowest moment, actually spending a night in a cell due to financial misdemeanours if I remember rightly. A relative told me tha

And they say the New Year's Honours list should be abolished.

It's the Sheriff of Nottingham (boo). Whatever his name is. http://www.nottinghampost.com/Trio-legends-link-Robin-s-big-week/story-27999206-detail/story.html

Only a guess but The Sheriff of Nottingham?

She could have a bit of a run round inside her trousers looking at the substantial size of them.

It's not often you see William Tell, Robin Hood and The Pied Piper in the same room. Pity they're not around now, the chavs and 'gangstas' would have no chance.

Sure she left an 'impression' on you! Did you get her number afterwards?

Fond memories of watching this series re-run in the '60s. God bless him. 'Come away, come away with William Tell Come away to the land he loved so well What a day, what a day when the apple fell For Tell and Switzerland'

You must have been pretty relieved about that, Benji! Did you have to replace the bonnet?

In addition, the stupid caps at indeterminate angles and acres of bling including 'sovvy rings'. And they said the seventies was the decade that left taste behind! Deary me...

Ah, I'm right with you! What a band - rest in peace, Stuart. Dunfermalino still play 'Into the Valley' when the team runs out at East End Park - quite rightly.
