If you want to add nitrogen organically you could grow beans and dig them in. Maybe grow aquadulce as an autumn sown bean and then dig the roots in before spring planting your normal crops. Legumes are nitrogen fixers.

nonnaB, just in case you don't have it on your keyboard ( i don't know if you're using an Italian one) € is Ctrl + Alt + 4 in windows 7.

If I see any in May I might bring some back for you.

On the other side, I always take cotechino home with me from Italy as it's all bar impossible to get in Nottingham.

The Defender has been classed as a commercial vehicle so was the only car under the Land Rover marque that wasn't Euro 6 compliant already and couldn't be made so. There are plans to make a new model to replace the Defender that will meet current regulations.

I do know that the water feature will still be out of action on March 17th and the gas works are only due to finish a week before if there are no further delays (it's already 2 weeks late starting). We had a meeting with the council on Wednesday. I'm sure you're right though, it will all be organised around James Mellor's schedule.

The gas main runs immediately around the council house at the opposite end of the square from High St along Long Row, across the front and back along Cheapside. Maybe the electric that runs right through the square will be next. Then we'll have had the whole square up with no improvements.

It's necessary work as it apparently is leaking underground. They need to identify and repair the leak and it's expected to be out of action till April or May. There is also going to be work carried out all the way around the council house perimeter on the gas main. This work is expected to finish in mid-March

That's really interesting as it does suggest you were right about being at the opening. If you went in July then Little Richard can hardly have opened the club in August as the Evening Post states. TBI also says it was 10th August when Little Richard performs so I suspect it's a minor mistake that the Post says it was opening night. Tony Sherwood doesn't actually say that either. I suspect it's nottstalgia 1- Evening Post 0

I remember when you could go out with 2 bob in your pocket, get a loaf of bread, some bacon, a tin of beans, sausages, 6 eggs and a pair of jeans and still have 2 bob left over. Damn CCTV ruined it though.

If there are any Springsteen fans among you, the 19th Jan Chicago concert is being made available as a free MP3 download for the next 36 hours or so on http://live.brucespringsteen.net/default.aspx

Wayne plays in a salsa band too. I see him at David Lloyd all the time.

Oh, come on. Rickets and TB weren't that bad.

I just checked and found that Clapton is a CBE. That's the one above OBE and below Knight. "This is awarded for having a prominent but lesser role at national level," I'd be interested in how his contribution has been deserving of a 'lesser role' description.

Didn't Alan Sillitoe write about walking across rolling hills to Bulwell or something?

The lunchtime show was Go Man Go which included the Oscar Rabin band till his death in 1959 when it became Dave Ede and the Rabin band. There were different comperes used like Alan Freeman, Diz Disley and Dan Moss. It ran from 1959 to 1963. The Bernard was probably Bernard Hermann ( not Rabin) who conducted the BBC Northern Dance Orchestra for Make Way For Music, another lunchtime show. Also Parade Of The Pops featured Bob Miller and The Miller Men. The Musicians Union had a strict policy about the amount of music that they would allow on radio from records rather than live bands. https://

I remember one of the managers of Warners lingerie manufacturers being delighted when his new company car quite randomly had a number plate that started with BRA

I only had tripe once in an Italian restaurant. It seemed fairly pointless to be honest. No real flavour.

I'm struggling to get my head around the idea that life was in anyway better when all we had was chip shops. Maybe our tastes have moved on from the days when prawn cocktail, steak and chips and black forest gateau was considered a posh meal, unbelievable that it ever was. I'd walk past many a chip shop to get to a tapas bar, curry house pizzeria or kebab shop. It has nothing to do with other religions or beliefs and everything to do with the fact that most people have now been further than Skegness for their holidays and discovered that foreign food is, in many cases, far more interesting th

I did see Barclay James Harvest there in 1975. It was my first night in Nottingham and I'd seen them the night before in Ipswich too.

We used to drop the lights at midnight at Majestyk in Leeds then play Children. As it kicked in, the huge laser show would start. Great nights.

I'm with you BeestonMick. I morphed from playing soul and disco in the 70's to early house and rave in the late 80's then spent years travelling the world playing house music in clubs. It fills exactly the same gap that northern soul did in it's day with the added benefit that there's always new tunes around. This is my sort of night still

House music is as musical and varied as any other sort of music. Were you referring to deep house, vocal house, disco house, hard house, tribal house, progressive house, funky house or maybe garage, techno, trance or hardcore?

As that was a Thursday, I wonder if it was what we refer to as the 'soft opening' and Lizzie was at the opening Saturday or something. He played Wembley on theprevious Saturday.

denshaw saw Little Richard there although he doesn't mention it being opening night. http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2391&page=2
