G.I.Rocheque

I could never understand why Hot Chocolate in "You Sexy Thing" started the song with "I believe in Milko". As well as this I must admit to not understanding any of the lyrics to "The Israelites" by Desmond Dekker at all.

My daughter who lives down south rang up work to say that she'd be late in as she'd overlay. Nobody knew what she was on about. It reminded me of the embarrassing incident when I ventured down there in my youth. I stopped an ice cream vendor in his van and said "Canna ava sucker?" The bloke was totally baffled until I pointed out what I required from his illustrated list ......"Oh you mean an ice lolly," he responded. I continued "Anna Tub" which elicited more perplexity until another pointy finger met with "you mean a carton!". I decided after that never to stop the icecreamo again. Havi

There was a Fords in Kirkby as well on Lowmoor Road.

The Squinting Cat was at Clipstone. One other cat I can remember is the Cat's Cradle at Retford which had regular stag nights. Saw the legend that was Amber Vandella there!

Why do we need City Community Protection Officers when we have Police Community Support Officers? Basically they patrol in pairs and do nowt at excessive cost (that's both varieties). I agree with Admin - what we need is more police officers not CSOs or CPOs - we'd get better service from CP30 frankly.

Who were responsible for six arrests last year at a total cost of £1.1 million per arrest?? http://www.thisisnottingham.co.uk/news/Undefined-Headline/article-3043814-detail/article.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCN-WRG3e2o&feature=related

A reliable source (not) advised me that if you hold the control key down on your computer and type BRA; the young ladies divest themselves of their upper garments. After two frustrating hours, I think I have been conned but it was fun trying.

So here's a trivia question. What's the connection between The Daleks and The Archers?

Yes I think "jesus" is responsible - his e-mail address is shown on the site.

I believe that there is a blue plaque on a building on Beardall Street, Hucknall to celebrate the composer Eric Coates who was born there.
