Picked it up off the BBC feed. As I was at the match on Friday I should have remembered the fluke earlier in the month! My bad.

Between them, Forest & Notts County have taken 1pt from the last 45 available

@MargieH smartar$e! Nearly put partner instead of girlfriend.

How many Nottstalgians have girlfriends less than half their age?

"of" replacing "have". Drives me up the wall. I blame the internet for giving them a platform & bringing them to my attention.

As a kid I could do a brilliant Topo Gigio voice. Bettered only by my Zoony of Fireball XL5 impression.

Don't go to this Hucknall one! A butcher has been ordered to pay more than £6,000 after dirty utensils, stained aprons and hundreds of dead flies were found in his shop. Inspectors also found staff at C Cassidy and Sons in Hucknall, Nottinghamshire, handled cooked and raw meat, creating a risk of cross-contamination.

Catweazle. Anyone else remember him? Forest away trips on Bartons late 70s.

Dollond & Aitchison opticians used to have three shops in Nottingham. Vic Centre, Friar Lane & Parliament Street. Sold to Boots for a tenner.

Newbie. Just off to the "Sex Pistols Experince" & it got me thinking about the Sandpiper.so I googled it & found this site. My mate Chris had a band called the Turbines & used to back some of the bands down there. Sham 69 were on there, Pursey had his mum with him. Never forget turning round & seeing this bloke standing on a table, trousers round his knees shoving a bottle up his **** in time to the beat!! Nother time Souixsie & the Bs.
