  12. Me and the present mrs Frank were married in St Barnabas Cathedral on the 22 Aug 1970. I remember standing outside with my best mate/man looking across at the Strathdon Hotel (one of the few in Nottingham that still has the original name) thinking - mmmmmmm, wish it was finished and the bar was open. Never got the chance to have a 'nerve steadier' before the ceremony.
  13. I used to be a regular mid week eater at the Miltons Head when it re-opened as a Berni in the Viccy Centre. Opened in 1974 but didn't last long. Can anyone remeber the original name of the nightclub that also used to be in the Viccy centre? - spread over 3 floors in the basement, now part of the car park.

  16. I recall the name and bumped into him once I think - small in stature but big in reputation if I'm not mistaken
  17. We moved into the Hyson Green Flats shortly after getting married in 1970. I remember that you could do all your shopping on the Green without having to go into town. The butcher used to have a Pork Farms pork pie cut into little slivers so you could taste one before buying -mmmmmm. We had our first colour tv there as well, as the flats were all wired for Redifusion.
  18. Exactly! I personally think we have all got some sort of talent in our own way but Art is not one of mine. Anyone who can produce this kind of end result is Special IMHO. Real genius. I don't go for some of that stuff that wins Turner prizes though like an unmade bed
  19. Hacking's a bit too advanced for me although I've often got up after a good night on the town (so to speak) only to discover that some one has hacked into my wallet while i've been asleep. She denies it of course
  20. I can remember that I got married in 1970. Do I get a prize for longivity?
