  3. Paramedics attending MJ this morning were concerned about the basics...... Airway Breathing Circulation Not to worry, it's as easy as ABC,123........
  4. Rumours abound that, as MJ is 99.9% Plastic (surgery), he won't be cremated, but, instead, he will be melted down and made into LEGO bricks,................. so that the kids can play with him for A CHANGE! !laughing! ......As Rog said.......sorry..... P.S. There's plenty more
  5. The album dates it at 1966 http://www.cillablack.com/music-cillasingsarainbow.htm I hope you realise the ridicule I'm up for here, posting all of this embarrasing information for all to see!!
  6. From the little I know about this (I set up our office network and e-mail accounts) when moving hosts, the domain server names change, therefore, you need to put the new server details into your e-mail account and web page. Basically, when you click on 'get new mail' or the web site, your desktop computer looks for the server where the information is - in your case, that will be the old server. It will be 2 sets of numbers, such as 145.235.112.247, but I would expect that your new host would provide all of this information
  7. Hi Georgygirl I recall going to the church on a couple of occasions,but I recall more going to the farm building adjacent, as they seemed to have a social centre for us kids. My Grandparents used to live in the pensioners flats at the bottom of St martins road just before the farm on the left - something 'Walk'. I can recall one Saturday in particular entering the sing along competition, miming to Cilla Black - I can sing a rainbow. Luckily, my cousin Patricia won it. Can you imagine the embarrassment if a boy had won it - even though I was in the school choir at the time. Grandad alway
  8. Interesting. It seems that we may have stumbled across the development some months ago while out walking one Sunday morning. A particular bridge that we used to cross was demolished with large straight road works either side. makes sense now. I downloaded the latest pdf publication (bottom right hand side of the web page) and - there is a nice photo of a bloke driving one of the new Stagecoach buses that will be used on this route. Why has the bus got a steering wheel? It looks like the bus will just travel forwards and the upturned concrete sill will stop it from wandering - not to mention
  9. Firbeck Daughters Wedding coming up shortly and the suit fitting is in Cambridge on Saturday. I've been to the American Cemetery - a few years ago now, but wow, what an experience. Back in 1971 (Maggie May No.1 in the charts) I worked at Ciba Giegi at Duxford, way before the Museum was born, and lodged at both Great Chesterford (pub on the corner can't recall it's name presently) and in Saffron Walden (White Lion? White Horse?) Did a lot of sight seeing around there. Loved it. Did you know that the film 'Battle of Britain' (Red Baron etc.) was filmed over Duxford? as in them days, there w
  10. 'Fraid not - have a VERY important wedding to attend to down in Cornwall that week and then camping in France the week after. Like Duxford a lot though, We are down in Fen Stanton this weekend and Cambridge on Saturday.
  11. After the show, the Hurricane came right over our house on it's way south. Be about 500 feet up, as we are about 1.5 miles from the end of the runway. magnificent!
  12. I was invited to nosey on over by Admin. Spent a little time hovering around the edges and then jumped in and signed up. Met some good friends on here - maybe I'll get to meet some more? Didn't realise it's been about a year since we lost Anne - time seems to go quicker as we age.......
  13. It looks like you copy/pasted the http link Mariag Copy/paste the IMG link (the bottom one)
  14. Get upto date and download Thunderbird. Far superior to MS crap. I'm using Thunderbird 3 but it's in it's early stages. For those of you not sure about BETA's download TB2 here http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/
  15. Doh! Of course, as you pointed out, I meant 3d. he he I was a junior prior to Decimalisation Day 21st February 1971. Another rip off day in the history of Britain. Euro Day coming up.
  16. The first thing I noticed about re-sized dudoo's was the Wagon Wheel. Man, they used to be huge, but ended up nearly the size of a ginger nut.......for the same price After swimming at Noel Street Baths, we used to walk down towards Wilko's [soap factory] and pop into the sweet shop just before Radford Road. 3p for a wagon wheel and penny for a Woodbine ...he he...
  17. Just like you mate, me and the lovely Mrs Frank had a "Beer by Tram night" Walked down to Moorbridge, caught the tram to Basford Crossings nipping up to the Old Pear Tree for a couple of wets, then back on the tram upto Wikinson Street and the Lion Inn on Shipstone Street. They had a group on warming up as we entered - thank f**k we didn't stop for the proper show - would have ended the night totally deaf. Back on the tram down into town and into Langtry's - excellent pint of Gold Bullion by the Nottm Brewery. Onwards up to the Poacher for a fix of HP. Stood at the bar looking up at the Menu b

  19. Are we talking about sweets or sex toys? !laughing! Sorry.........
  20. I don't know how much you are paying Mick, but I use these for work... very good, and reliable http://www.fasthosts.co.uk/
  21. You could install Windows on to the E drive or... you could talk to Mick at SPE http://www.spelectronics.co.uk/contact.html he recovered some data from a lost disk for me last year.
  22. When it first opened it was called the Goose Fair, then changed it's name to the Sporting Chance (as did other various pubs around the country) As far as I can remember, that's the only 2 'official' names the pub had in it's short life. After the murder............it was only a matter of time....
