hippo girl

Positive thoughts and loads of love Chulla xx

I don't do heights either Catfan.....just heard I've got to go to the arena this eve ( in hospitality box ) .....don't know which is worse the vertigo or Bryan Adams !!!!!!?????

We will always remember that fateful Saturday ......a tragic, unnecessary waste of life.....decades of unanswered questions, a city united by grief and sorrow...... To you Anne Williams, the battle had commenced and the system put into question .......a city still united but stronger and wiser thanks to you.. You will never walk alone xx

Troys mum Jane ?

And after work shy William is Carol Middleton !!!LOL

Small world.........he has played with some amazing artists ....

couldn't have said it better myself Catfan..... People are entitled to their opinions but they are usually the same people who moan about our benefits system !!!!?.......I rest my case .

Was he related to spiritualized guitarist Tony Foster ?

You are thinking of Eldon chambers Nonna, off wheeler gate, opposite where sissons and Parker bookshop was .....now a Sainsburys local .......

Went in the 1960s to Le Gourmet on Bridlesmith gate, then it became the Hippo, so may have relocated NonnaB ?

Some of the best blues parties I have ever been to ....on the flats......amazing...

My dad was at primary school in Liverpool when war broke out.....he was evacuated to North Wales and that affected him in a different way...... It is only now that he talks about those tough years and the separation from his parents.......it made him very single minded and when war ended , a determination to make a better life for himself through education and hard work...... He eventually relocated to Nottingham and created a lot of work for local people... I am very proud of my dad ...

Letsavagoo, The fact you have shared this with us all, is a step in the right direction......, Grief, hurt, pain have no allies, it is an emotion that will affect us all and we have no mechanism to deal with it. Time will help you to cope but the best way to deal with grief is by talking it through......to family, to friends, to a good counsellor, to us here on Nottstalgia. It is ok to have bad days because then you will appreciate the good ones .....

I taught with his wife ...........small world

Was Mr Knott a young blond German teacher called Fred ?

Don't tell everyone Benjamin !!!!!!

Carrying on from the blue nun, mateus rose days for the girls, what about the following? Cinzano and lemonade, Brandy and babycham, Pernod and lemonade, dry or sweet martini, Rum and black, Dubonnet with lemonade, Campari with soda, Vodka with orange or lime, Bacardi and coke , Tia Maria, Creme de menthe, Snowball !!!!!! Nottingham sophisticates on a Saturday night down the Hippo club ( and that was just the staff )

No no .....I'm driving Michael.....that is my saving grace ......can always bring the remaining contents home to savour

Going out tonight to an Indian restaurant where you take your own wine .....so it's a Marques de Riscal Rioja for me ..... Well just one glass to be sociable !!!!!

No need to " rip the cork out " Fly.......most c...p wine comes with a screw top !!!LOL

I have drunk the best and the worst Benjamin, depends on the company, the banter and the purse !!!!!!

Myself and another well known Nottstalgian will drink owt !!!!!!!!

I remember the steep road at the side of the police station where you had to open the gate to get into the park estate........now you can only walk down to Newcastle drive

Just been to the opening of a new micro pub in Beeston.....hope they do well

Me in my Louboutins ......soaring above the crowd !!!!
