She made a mess of local Nottingham dialect - ayergorerwiyer !laughing!

Out and about over the Bank Holiday weekend, me and Mrs Frank came across something we had not seen before on our walking travels. Out in mid Derbyshire Peak District, we saw quite a few examples of where people had hammered coins into fallen tree trunks or tree stumps? What is the significance of this? Any one seen it before? Money Tree comes to mind??

Sure do.. Mick lived at No. 13, 3 doors away. He got glassed in the face at the pub on Maid Marion way. After that I vowed never to set foot in the place.

I lived on Bradfield - opposite Withern Road,about 7 doors up from the Library, from '57 till I moved out from mams in '68. Went to Players infants, then juniors but finished off at William Crane Secondary School for Boys, bottom of Sherbourne Road till '67.

I'll try to get it another way.

Heard tonight that Carl is shortly to appear, with other boxers, on The Weakest Link. Not sure if it's true, and it's apparently going to be screened in the summer (if we get one !laughing! )

I like the big parrot theory

It looks like the bridge at Highfields - but I anin't gorra clue abaht owt else

Well done Zab. I thought that it may go for a little longer, but obviously, some of you are always out and about. Read all about it here.

I took the picture about 3 weeks ago on a bright Sunday morning. Mrs Frank has perked up no end but she's insisting that the Nurse takes the stitches out - well, I did offer! Bruises turning a nice shade of purple and yellow. Took her out for a run in the motor today, we had a little run around Leicestershire, stopping off for a pot of tea at the Belvoir Brewery (beer for me), visiting some nice little villages on the way out and back. http://www.belvoirbrewery.co.uk/ Stopped off and watched the parachuting at Langar airfield. Man it's been some years since I did that! First descent 01 Au

Back in the good old days when Horizon first opened, even us contractors used to get an allowance - 400/week if I remember correctly. That's on top of all them we used to smoke out of the reject bin as well :tongue:

Can you place this - and the occasion??

I remember the steam trains from my 'younger days' but, looking at the videos just posted, I'm confused. Sorry if it's not a relevant question to the thread starter, but - I thought that the funnel (chimney) on the top of the engine vented smoke from the fire box. This was always apparent as we used to choke on smoke when the train entered a tunnel, but, when you watch the latest vids, the output from the funnel seems to be steam, 'puffing' in time with the turn of the wheels? How is the smoke from the fire and also steam vented?

The date is fast approaching Eric - do we have a definite meet up and a venue set??

Didn't you go out 'Spirit Tapping' with the reel of cotton you nicked from mum's sewing basket? We did

I use Mininova. Never had a problem, as I always try to read the comments first. If it says ' corrupt' then I don't bother.

The point I'm trying to make is...... is the ticket - ' fine ' 'failure to comply' piece of paper actually legal as it is issued on private land? What legal right have they to make you pay as it is on 'private land'? I know how it works on the 'Council Adopted roads' (legal highways), but, do private limited company's have the right to enforce such a piece of paper?

Mrs Frank came home yesterday and said that she had got a parking ticket in Wilko's car park in Bulwell for parking in a Disabled bay. Now, she was with her elderly mother who has a blue badge, and the said badge, I am told, was on display in the windscreen. Searching on the web, it says to ignore the 'fine' as indeed it is not a 'fine' but a charge for breaching the 'Parking Agreement' which is supposed to be in a prominent position as you enter the private car parking area. Have any of you come across this? Apparently, the charge is payable within 30days or is reduced in value if you pay

Down at the recent Soul & Motown night with Craig, Mrs Frank and I stood at the bar - I had my share of IPA, Mrs Frank consumed upwards of 4 pints of the black stuff !!
