The Actual Shedfixman

Yep; record passes for the 21st year on the trot and yet we're still the thickest nation in europe. This is what happens when schoolteachers try desperately to keep Ofsted smiling for the sake of their own arses. What a load of dummed down crap. One of my wife's pupils got 20 'gcse's - half with 'stars' and she still can't spell 'Bermondsey'. How many people did you meet with TEN O levels back in the seventies? Let's see what happens next year when they have to include maths and English again.

Macfisheries definately on site of Halfords, South Parade. Moss Bros was on Hockley on right as you walk up. John Collier (the window to watch!)was on corner of Friar Lane and became Burtons. Big store on King Street was the previous Jessops location before it moved to Vic Centre(Now J.Lewis) Best thing about Burtons in the Council Buildings was the dapper old Ted who worked in the wines+spirits section - always wore a white stewards jacket and treated and spoke to everyone alike as if they were royalty. I once went in when I was 15 and asked for a bottle of aussie white wine(see Yateses - d

Well, not exactly, Mick - it always only went kinda 'tink-tink' whenever I passed it. Unless I was REALLY late home, then it went'tink-tink-tink-tink-tink-tink-tink-tink-tink-tink-tink-tink'. Incidently, and now being serious - are you are aware of some massive UFO sighting in Sawley/Draycott during the early or mid 80's? A mate of mine saw the thing and said it was as big as Wembley Stadium - cant be sure on specific years though H

The overpayment collection booth at the Castle Boulevard DHSS also had one of these systems, until it became prone to staff abuse. It was immediately dismantled and removed after a most regrettable incident when the Assistant Chief False Claims Inspector had a fearful accident with it whilst drunk and trying to show off at the 1977 Xmas office party and unwittingly dispatched one of his testicles to the Ilkeston Coop for cross-referencing by Securicor. Another of his colleagues lost his tongue in it the same evening, but he doesn't like to talk about it. Hathers xx

Okay, Stallgions - to celebrate my complete and utter confusion at trying to find my way around this dang new fanglin' whatinternation hoodleydoodley Jesus H. Corbett site formatting; here's a powerful one for yers all, now. In which State of the USA is Dallas, in Texas?

I sat and watched the Trooping of the Colour yesterday. Attendant of Her Majesty were the 1st Batt Irish Guards, the 1st Batt Scots Guards, the 1st Batt Grenadier Guards, the 1st Batt Coldstream GUARDS, the LifeGUARDS and the 1st Batt Blues and Royals, all toting between them just about every SA80 assault rifle ever made - with fixed bayonets. Then came the Household Cavalry waving around a hundred gleaming sabres, each sharp enough to split a charging rhinocerous clean through the middle, followed by the 1st Batt Royal Horse Artillery drawing a complete battery of 6 inch Howitzers and ultima

And caught the first bus to cheshire. nuff said.

From 77-9 we did the C+G FIVE NIGHTS A WEEK every week until I took some tart in sober one night and actually saw the cutlery. Saw the Clifton pisshead face down in the nosh at least four times - fourth being the time when they woke him up and then chased him round the table for money or the food back, but he'd decided to scoff it and drink his lager on the hoof. So then they played the trump card and called the huge chef out to get rid of him and he quickly switched personality chased the terrified chef back into the kitchen. He - Tony - then soon re-emerged and with a stunned look on his f

Well, fairly easily, really, as he saw more pri**s 'come' and go than the 'KERPLUNK' factory gates; I personally wouldn't have touched his dead gay 4rse over a long-distance telphone even WITH a map of the local tides. In life I'm sure he was a fascinating bloke. In death - putrid via putrefaction. Most GAYS I know wouldn't have dreamed of touching the dead filthy object, either. People amaze me. If they aren't filming coochy coochy health insurance telly adverts with a disgusting sh!t furred cr4p paddled flea warehouse of a cat running over the hinterground kitchen worktops, then they're pro

That stuffed Robin rings a loud bell but I can't quite picture you my friend. Yep, I remember those songs too - plus 'Child in Time' was a fave; but you're wrong about the last song. The Nat Anth was his way of clearing us out.

Yep - the Germans got broadband - you kidding? They once had the signal shot for trying to cross into Switzerland without permission. PS. WhaddItellyer? They're out massacreing stingrays as we speak!
