  3. Definitely still cobbles in '58...They were damned slippery on that bend after rain.
  4. Late 50s early sixties if the Mk2 Vanguard and the Ford pop are anything to go by...and if that's blood on the ground near the front wheel of the bus...it's 1958 when I came off my bike on those soddin' cobbles goin' full belt...Alpine St. Basford White Swan corner.

  7. They've always been available..it's just that you guys haven't come across them.I don't stock them myself as my minimum price on a line is 10p...but I sell both as a 10p chew bar.
  8. Georgygirl...Every forum I go on has had a similar thread to this on MJ...The rich and powerful eccentrics of this world always attract sick humour..be it on here or in the local pub...usually within hours of their demise..Steve Irwin for example. Some people have that type of humour,if it's not your cup of tea...then ignore it.There's no need to go over the top because you don't agree with what other folks find amusing. I think you would find that these same people would be shocked and upset at say a lollipop lady being run over.But the super celebs of this world attract the publicity and d
  9. Sorry Chrissy but that is so mistaken...it's a fact that abuse suffered as a child be it sexual or physical makes it MORE likely that the behaviour will be repeated in adult life.There are thousands of documented cases out there. The same as the majority of serial killers have been found to be cruel to animals and other kids in their childhood.
  10. Only joking Georgygirl...we know you're clocking on a bit... Hows the bowling team coming along???
  11. Just been on another forum where Admin deleted the topic on MJ because the posts were getting that nasty...half taking the mick...and half doing the whole Princess Di bit...there were nearly death threats...
  12. I came in from outside to investigate the weird noise coming out of the telly.Wimbledon was on by mistake...I'm not the slightest bit interested in it, but blimey no wonder it's mentioned in the papers. This foreign sort was on squawking every time she took a shot.Not an "Uuuuuugh!" it was "Awooooooooooooh"....sounded like a cross between her best orgasm and having a splinter in her vibrator...I've never heard such a stupid row coming out of a sportswomans mouth. Now as I've said it doesn't mean a damn thing to me, but.....What is wrong with this country and those in charge of it's institut
  13. Ruddy Tescos they'll take on anybody.
  14. Yuri Geller's loving it...spouting on about how HE was his best mate and all HE had done for him over the years.Typical Geller...loves to be in the limelight,spoon bending prat.
  15. They reckon he's dead...That'll take the pressure off the MPs fiddles...The press have got lots to print now.

  17. Just put this on 'cos I like the picture.A Garratt I believe???
  18. By the way ..my brother and his mates spent hours at the top of that conker tree train spotting.It wasn't my hobby, but I remember he was chuffed that he had all the garratts and quite a few streaks ticked off in his Ian Allen book. I remember from Nottingham to Kegworth kids fare was tenpence halfpenny single...return was tenpence...we never could work that one out.
  19. I think my map was prettier Firbeck :tongue:
  20. I only went there once...our lot at Ellis used Northern Baths but they were being cleaned.The teacher put me in charge of the class ("Me sir??? )...about thirty kids. We got to the bus stop at Nuthall Road and the conductor was in no mood for a load of kids... "C'mon C'mon hurry up you lot C'mon" ....The impatient sod wouldn't wait for them all, and when the last four or five were getting aboard,he rang the bell...the last just managed to jump aboard as the bus roared off.... Guess who didn't make it and was left on the pavement clutching the roll of prepaid tickets Can't remember what h
