Your cheek again! No, nowhere near brighton - try the sandpit!

Valikirie - what a load of c****

Dave would you remember my relatives who lived on Forster street and had the undertakers (from their house) they were the Hughes.

Yes, last 'winter' before we arrived they had terrible floods here..... when it rains it rains... for all the UAE is meant to be the inferstructure (sp) leaves something to be desired - not mainy surface drains.. so quickly floods!!! However this is a rare event so your brother had bad luck!We did have a terrible sand storm the other day mind

Not allowed with a camera on a beach here!!!!!!

Laugh if you dare - gone with the wind dr zhivago yes I know OLD so what about kevin and perry deer hunter highlander

Spring? Whats that? Here its just hot, hotter or even hotter!!!! Dreading may time when we start boiling!

Thanks for the pics - so long ago and still can't remember Simon Ward.... Penny - there were 2 pennys... one looked a lot like goldie Hawn and she went out with Scott Carey (former wraith member) and I remember the other Penny who went out with Greggo (possible child with him?) not sure that she was porn material...... perhaps you are mixing it up with Tara? Tara 'Bardot' of the sunday sport paper! She may have gone out with Greggo - she went out with a few shall we say -she was not very tall but very pretty, a little pamela anderson - hence doing glamour modelling I guess. Is this the one you

Sorry - you are right of course!!! Where is the guildhall.... I started at the new crown court before having to go to the shire hall

Yeah - I liked them too and banana splits.....I know people slate them but I remember Berni Inns as a child and whenever we used to go I would love going (not that often) I was always allowed a martini and lemonade (possibly only 12 at the time - liberal parents) can you imagine that happening now????? Prawn cocktail to start and then steak and chips! Have moved on from this culinary delight I have to say!!!!! When you think what totally rubbish pub chain food there is now... or is it me? Still, here a 3 course meal will set you back at least 70 quid a head and thats not even with a whiff of

It is now a museum - I went a few years ago - galleries of justice. They did a mock court case... it was strange being back in there as this is where I was sent!

You are really lucky if you get a good case! The waiting around that happens is a pain and sometimes you are chosen to do it and then its cancelled at last minute as the case has either been dropped or they pleaded guilty before hand. Mine was a petty thief who was found not guilty- its really difficult to draw a conclusion cos one minute you think yeah they did it and the next you think they're innocent... needless to say I was the youngest juror that day and I was dreading the one in the dock saying 'no I don't want her' as they can do... I did have unusual coloured hair at the time!!!

Can anyone beat this - I did jury duty aged 19!!!! Had to go to the old court in lace market!!!

Not sure about big brother - never watched it...... Best guy out of the first line up of wraith was Jed - he put up with a lot of greggos antics.

Did a quick google on wraith and greggo is still flogging it - sounds just the same... but looks very different (my friend who saw him a year ago said he had skin head hair cut) he looks very different... have to say years ago his hair was his best feature... that and in leather tight jeans - shame about the state of his brain. Having had to pack all my stuff last year I chose to keep and bring all vinyl and guess what a wraith 7 inch single is amongst it - given not paid for I hasten to add....

Punky Wayne was in deuce I think before! Also Greggo before wraith... saw them play down mardi gras many years ago. Apparently Wayne is into surfing now (as in the sea) I believe Greggo is still around was spotted a year or so ago with a skinhead type of hair do - possibly still highly volatile man!Don't recognise the name Simon Ward... may recognise the face!!!!

Also the balloon woods was knocked down years ago.... is he living in the woods?

Perhaps thats him .... would be well in his 40s I would imagine.....sometimes he would come into the tap and tumbler before rock city and we girls would leg it cos he really stunk!

There used to be a large longhaired guy who's job was to collect glasses in the salutation I believe.... he was definately ga ga..... some say too many drugs!!! Is this chap still floating around? He was also a regular at rock city in late 80's.. My only hope now is he's not a member on this forum!!! ps. The term 'axe man' was my friends and I!!!!

Peter lords - 'clarks' has been there since the 1970 Have I read right has dolcis gone through?'s... is it still there now?

My god, I'd forgotten about the milkshakes (reckon I had chocolate) and the plastic tomato for the sauce.... Am I right... was it proper table service and nothing like todays wimpeys? Incidently where I am now, although we have the usual mcdonalds - self serv and food courts... at least any coffee shop you go into there is proper table service, with nice crockery etc and not the usual queue with your tray and pay before you've drunk it! Yes there are the costa coffees and starbucks etc but even there its brought to your table!!!

Maybe that was the case - always remember a chocolate nut sundae in there served in a metal sundae dish - you may laugh,but it was a treat!

Not sure if this has been covered before but wasn't there a lot of shoe shops on clumber street 1970s? Don't think many are there anymore.... can anyone remember this and which ones?Also where was the wimpey on this street in 1970s - when it was a proper table service? Am I confusing this 'wimpey' with another eaterie..... my husband (a londoner) cannot remember wimpeys being any different from the one that is still in the broad marsh.... I thought that the 'wimpey' I remember had waitresses in proper black and white uniforms and proper tables not moulded plastic???? Anyone know?

The colourwheel was used a lot when rock city was shut for renovation..i.e. removal of that 'lovely' carpet....The armoury shop has been touched on this site before.... great shop at the time! Perhaps metal mickey you remember the group ' sleeze patrol'? Wonder whatever happened to nutter 'punky wayne' (hope he's not reading this site!)

If this was it when did it get pulled down? One of the children that lived in it was at the time only just out of nappies and would talk about a green lady.... her mother only saw this 'spirit' once... but was aware of sudden cold spots in the house that came from nowhere!!! Her husband was a brickie/ builder at the time and I think he did it up... but I really thought that this 'building' was past the 'bogs' on the left, turning right further up... I believe towards Hucknall, but maybe I am confused as it was many years ago!!!
