No money to speak of, but no debt. We don't always see 'eye to eye', but we're still together after 50+ years, and we have two very hardworking, loving and successful daughters, who've given us three brilliant Grandkids.. (So far..).. It could be much, much worse.
And The Beatles wrote a song about it.

Do you check on the site, using your holder's number? Results are on today.
I normally wait until I get an email notification....which is usually around the 3rd-6th of the month.
However, based on your comment, I've just looked at the NSI website and this month I've got the biggest monthly win I've ever had.

I hope you've had better luck this month, CT.
So far I've not heard anything. I'll hang on a few more days before I seriously fall out with them.

It's not long ago that Forest signed a pile of players, most of whom turned out to be a waste of money.
Everyone assumed they wouldn't make that mistake again.

Is this a pigeon ? I've never seen one in this colour scheme before.
On the Embankment mixing with all the ducks and swans etc.

In recent times with Covid - but also other topics - the world is full of armchair experts who can tell us, in retrospect, where everything went wrong and what should've been done.

Clifton Village - the original Clifton - would be there but it's hidden by a small cloud.
If the plane had gone over 5 minutes earlier or later there would be something to see.

......Went to a Garden Centre where i fancied a 'Bacon Cob'' (which they called a 'Bacon Butty)...but at £7.90.....i declined...
Even by current standards, that's stupid.....unless it was at least 2ft long with half a pig inside.

My grandparents' home was a bay-windowed house at 178 Highbury Vale between Hayward's butchers shop and Albert Horry's soft furnishing shop. The business, which was started in the early 1900s by my grandfather, continued to run until the late 1960s.
Also named Ebenezer Cottages - 1890. https://goo.gl/maps/CoD8dSt5s92xknQZ6

If it's true, I'm surprised by the apparent naivety of the Wagner people - all travelling in the same plane at the same time.
Basic security point No.1........don't put (fly) all your eggs in one basket.

By an unfortunate coincidence there were two news stories last week which centred around historic child abuse - one connected with teaching/education, and one connected with religion; the two categories which seem to attract a certain type of person.

Few now realise that the original 'Moorbridge', crossed the Leen and Midland Railway via a narrow road just to the left of Moorbridge Cottages, as viewed from Bestwood Rd. The bridge from the Bestwood Road side remained in place until quite recently, when the remaining 'pier' next to the railway line seems to have been removed.
The old OS map from the 1930s shows a 'new' bridge in dotted lines, which is presumably the one which is there now.

You can still make a post, and it will show as 'Guest'.
It has been done occasionally, but most Guests are just casually browsing.

I'm not sure about that, if you can choose to be a Guest.
One definition of Guest is that you haven't registered on Nottstalgia, so you don't have a Log-in name. You're just browsing as an outsider.

Setting a new record in the opposite direction.
Online at the moment there are 4 Members and only 14 Guests.....and they all seem to be real people.
Even Bots have a day off.

There was a lot of it going on in the past and people got away with it, because it was easier to stay under the radar.
Now there’s a much wider public awareness of what can happen; people are clued up about what to look for. The victims are more aware of what may be actually happening to them, and they are less likely to stay quiet under threat.
There are also more ways of reporting it, and the authorities are more likely to investigate.
We hear about it more frequently now because there are now successful prosecutions. I wonder how many people were prosecuted in the 'good old days'.

I've accumulated all kinds of bits and pieces over the years, but some come from here.
