  1. if you do a google image search for 'la piscine roubaix' you'll see pictures of the baths museum - actually the area it's in isn't particularly affluent - just a northern textile town similar to nottm.
  2. nearly forgot - the Chameleon, next to the Bell on Angel Row - call Nick Turner on 0115 9505097
  3. check out this link http://www.rescuerooms.com/getting_a_gig.htm or gigs at the rescue rooms, the bodega social and rock city. the runner would be fine but the hand and heart don't really put on grunge type music - it's mainly swing / blues / jazz type stuff. x
  4. Radford Baths closed in the early eighties when John Carroll opened. I used to go every morning and stopped after it moved. Of course, it's still standing - it may be listed but there's a lot of buildings around it that have been left derelict so maybe not. Last year I visited an old baths in Northern France that had been turned into a museum and restaurant -it was wonderful. I can't see it happening in Radford though!
  5. this was taken sometime in the seventies, I think
  6. or is the lake on the jubilee campus? you've obviously been up that way recently!
  7. Hello 'Ayupmeducks' Did you work at Clifton pit at the same time as Dave Turner?
  8. I remember Josie's and wasn't 'mushroom' bookshop originally on arkwright street? Can anyone remember the name of the restaurant with newspapered walls - it later moved to town? A friend of mine had a flat above the pawnbrokers where we had regular all-night parties in the early seventies.
  9. Yes, the pub used to be called the Raleigh and was my local at one time. I'm hoping for a photo of a scene using the front door of a house I used to live in, which I remember from the series
  10. I have vista and everyone I know who has it (including me) hates it.
  11. I grew up on Gawthorne Street opposite the school mentioned earlier - Beech Avenue Infants was next to Morleys Bakery. When the shop was closed we used to fetch bread from the bakehouse at the back. I also watched the blacksmith on Northgate as someone else mentioned.
  12. my youngest son is 28. Whereabouts in Nottingham did you live?
  13. Sorry, I should have thought if that in the first place. How great is Cookie?
  14. As a long-serving Lord Buckley fan I loved that record when it came out. I think I might download it and put it on my ipod now you've reminded me. thanks!
  15. My friend lived on Hyson Green flats in the 70's, I lived on Pleasant Row across the street from Hyson Green Flats. Some world, what school did you go to?

  16. My friend used to live on Hyson Green flats in the 70's. I lived in Pleasant Court across the street from Hyson Green Flats. What school did you go to?

  17. I must have missed this entry. you missed my point - there were 2 kardomahs - the one on market street was the best
  18. My locals over the years have been: the Union - long gone the bowling green - long gone the fox - changed it's name years ago, the one on Glass house street that i've forgoten the name of, the gregory, the Plough, the Alma, the Nottingham, the falcon, the hand and heart on and off for years and my current favourite pub! the Raleigh, the running horse, the borlase warren, the portland - which I loved when Vi was there but I won't go in under the current regime. Probably many others but I can't remember anymore for now.
  19. yes I remember Gaffa, Wayne Evans is still playing - in the Last Pedestrians, Mas Y Mas and probably some other band. I remember going to the Imperial in the mid to late seventies regularly to see Desperate Dan on a Friday night.
  20. Hello I've been trying to add this but couldn't see 'new topic' - of course I can now. please also see http://lastingtribute.thisisnottingham.co..../turner/2901676 and myspace.com/daveturnernottingham
  21. I went to the concerts there. I remember sunshine and Wayne Evans probably played (Gaffer?). My husband (at the time) made some CND leather badges and sold them to the audience.
  22. I used to go to the bamboo - met some great people and had some good times there. there were several pinball machines and they sold expresso long before I appreciated it!
  23. Hello Andrew I never went to the Jules et Jim, but I remember Dave speaking fondly of those days. I first met Dave in 1969 and am still in touch with him. Unfortunately he is not at all well now. The article recently in the evening post was about a benefit gig held for him at the Bell Vue. He loved the tribute and all the fuss made over him. Unfortunately we can't do that all the time. Carol
