  1. Nearly got 2 'Pavement' cyclist tonight as I turned left off the Ring Road into a side road. They were talking away, never looking and just rode straight off the pavement into the road. Gave 'em a bit of a shock when I took my time braking.......he had to stop quick and lean left into his female companions bike ...he.he. The look on his face was a picture...
  2. Nice to meet you Ashley. Glad you got the Nero working OK. All the best
  3. That's a fairly recent satallite view as I can see the A/C unit I moved at the back of the Bingo 2 years ago (just to the right of the word Sutton). It takes a trained eye of course :tongue:
  4. Little a*******s that walk out in front of you to cross the road and then walk as slow as possible without giving a s**t!! They seem to think that the road is just an extension of the pavement. Are they all on DRUGS? Whatever happened to the Green Cross Code
  5. I got your message Ashley but Beefy beat me to it!!
  6. same here Ashley. I've got about 4 Nero CD's that came with various new CD drives etc. Available to collect, post or deliver if you are fairly local
  7. Where you been Craig mate??????? The Nottingham Brewery has been one of my favourites for many moons. I often buy a 36 pint take away polypin from there ...it costs £45. Ring up and place an order and they get it ready for when you want it....delich mmmm Have you tried the EPA? Here's a link to their web site http://www.nottinghambrewery.com/
  8. What if it's a regulation plate in all other senses, i.e. correct font, spacing, size etc? It was a boy racer by the way, windows down, music load, no seat belts, mobile phone in use, passengers hanging out the windows being obnoxious...............etc.
  9. I saw a car tonight with the rear number plate fixed upside down. Obviously, this is to defeat the ANPR cameras, so, I thought - is this legal? Looking on the 'net', I found this: What does the law state? All registration plates – including private plates – must be displayed in accordance with the Road Vehicles Regulation Act 2001. Plates should be: 1. Displayed at the front and rear of a car 2. Easy to read 3. White at the front of the car and yellow at the rear, with black lettering 4. Able to reflect light 5. Sized correctly – including lettering and spacing which hasn’t been a
  10. That's the one! I think Radford Red beat you to it......... On the opposite side of the road to the Co-op was a chip shop and you could get your 6 pen'eth served in a half a Batch of bread. they used to cut a batch in half, scoop out the soft bread inside and then fill the crust with your chips.....mmmmmm loverly. I think it cost a shilling if you had the bread and chips. I also remember the chip shop at the top of Sherbourne Road, next to the Cocked Hat, used to sell you a Sanderson's pie in your own bowl with lashings of gravy. My sister used to send me up there on a Saturday night when m
  11. lots of long walks in the countryside Rog, and cycling as well. Just love to be outside.
  12. As a teenager, I was a paper lad, before moving on to work at the local Co-op delivering groceries. I remember having to go for a medical at 13 before they would let anyone employ me. Started out at Purdy's top of Aspley Lane for the grand total of 2/6 a week. My round used to take me down Denewood Crescent and then along the road that connects to Wigman Road - starts with a 'C' I think but can't recall the name just now. Half way down there was a Co-op and the back entrance onto the new Harvey Hadden stadium. Thursday nights were a b*ll ache as it was the day that the Radio Times and the TV
  13. And there I was thinking you replied to the advert in his window.......
  14. ...BUMP... com'n then Tich... spill the beans
  15. To see your Hard Drive details go to 'Start' run up to 'My Computer' and then hover the mouse over it and right click, then select 'Properties' at the bottom. This will show the operating system, memory and processor details. How much memory is it showing? Download this little clean up program http://stevengould.o.../CleanUp452.exe and then run it. I've used it for years and never had a problem. The first time you use it it asks if you want to use the Demo version. Say no and click the 'Cleanup' button. You will be surprised just how much space it releases back on to you HD, especially if yo
  16. Pete That yellow 2 seat bi-plane is the one I've flown, couple of years back now.........I remember posting a photo on here and you lot took the p**s saying thing's like 'Frank looks like Biggles' etc :tongue: Not posting it again
  17. I'd be interested in having a look at the Pork Pie recipe. Any chance you could scan it in?
  18. Never heard of him Beefy mate, and here I am sitting in the sunshine in Costa Del Sol!!!! (29C and lovin' it). Not being sexist, but female DJ's (especially the ones on R1) should stick to women things and stay away from the microphone.....if you get my drift. Richard Allison deserves his own prime time slot...a much under rated presenter. I've heard that changes are under way to R2 to get a younger audience.... such as happened in the past at R1.
  19. I agree Pete. Some of the guest presenters should stick to what they know and stay away from DJ'ing. Had to turn over myself - Norton might be a lot of things but he isn't a DJ. Can't stand Ginger Top so it looks like I'll be moving the dial to another frequency. Just as I do on Saturdays when Ross is on. I'll miss Wogan, as I miss Johnnie Walker. Radio 3 or 4?...............such a dilema........
  20. The 'Old General' on Radford Road is now all boarded up and available for 'Let' to anyone who wants to be a Landlord. When I past the other day some bloke was 'reclaiming' all of the barrels and cellar gear.
  21. Geez Mariag...I thought that you were happily married.....
  22. Quite correct Zab. I sent an e-mail to Spotify complaining that it asked me to input an 'Invitation' code after downloading the small file that enables the service, only to be told that for England based members, this wasn't required.
  23. Just shows how some of us live in the past...DOH! Thanks Zab
  24. A little bit off the net regarding this scaffold collapse. I remember it like it was yesterday......[/url]scaffold collapse After the hotel was opened, we used to think that 'The Mint' bar in the basement was so upmarket and posh......... just shows how, so many years on, ones mind was so juvenile....
