  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Exactly the same here meduck. I passed this on to the admin via e-mail but as I've not had a response I think he's either dead or don't wont to no me Back on now so it don't matter. Aint life grand
  12. Looking down Ilkeston Road from Canning Circus? !clapping!
  13. I recall the name and bumped into him once I think - small in stature but big in reputation if I'm not mistaken
  14. 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.
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. I can remember that I got married in 1970. Do I get a prize for longivity?
  18. Absolutely Fantastic! Did you see the Batman & Robin drawing in the Daily Mail yesterday?
  19. Geez - after all that I need a FAG
  20. Do you remember the nurse who worked at the factory BIP? - Jean? Herself now retired some years.
  21. Right on the corner of Milton Street and Parliament Street - exactly where the main entrance into the Victoria Centre is now. It was the pub/bar I had my first drink in. The Victoria Shopping Centre was the first of it's kind in the UK when it opened in 1974 and led to all the copies we know as Newcastle's Metro Centre, Sheffield's Meadowhall, Thurrock's Bluewater et al.
  22. Is this the one Den? http://www.barcrawl.co.uk/pubreview.asp?CityId=7&PubId=67 or for an aerial view http://local.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=...2&scene=4296696
  23. Well blow me Den You in the back yard and me and Mrs Frank in the best room (well I think it was). We left there and caught the 10.35 rattle wagon back to slumberland. Mind you, I can't remember anyone from the back yard shouting 'Frank, Frank - you in there mate?' I topped off the night with a nice cool Guinness -mmm smashin'
  24. We must have crossed paths Den, me and the other 'arf were down Mansfield Road last night on account it was our wedding anniversary in the week so I splashed out on some bus fares and took 'er out. Couple in the local waitin' for the bus then off at Woodborough Road junction and up to the Golden Fleece for one before av'in some snap in the Mayfair. After that it was up to the Hard to Find Cafe (silly sods, it's marked on the map!) for a nice wheat beer followed by a couple in the Nags head and then across to the Poacher before takin her 'ome on the 89. nice quiet nite - no fights and didn't
