  1. Living beside one of the busiest roads in Nottingham, I'm used to the traffic noise, but why oh why do drivers feel the need to hoot their horns unnecessarily. It's a crime for heavens sake, but some appear to hoot at every opportunity !  Mindless in the extreme !

  2. Well someone has got money to splash out on nonsensical projects during this endless period of austerity.

    Ok, it's great that England won the cricket World Cup, but some clown wants to paint all the letter boxes in Nottingham white !  Why ?

    Then there's the Nottingham Pride Festival soon, and another bright spark wants parts of the road surface in Hockley and Carlton St resurfaced in the colours of the rainbow.   You couldn't make it up.

  3. Whilst visiting the WW1 memorial on the embankment this morning, I spotted amongst the varied bird population, a pigeon with a brown head and chest, with black wings and tail. It turned out to be a Copper Blackwing Angel Pigeon. Beautiful, and definitely not feral. However, it was chasing after all the other pigeons, so we might see some hybrids soon !

  4. Well I visited it this morning, and was somewhat disappointed, as despite only being open a couple of weeks, it's already looking decidedly tatty. Some of the grey plaques are a different shade, which gives the impression that replacements have already been made, and as they're set at an angle and not vertical have already got stains and bird pooh on them. All in all, quite disappointing.

  5. Phil M. Been tootling around one of your favourite areas this morning. East of the A614 / A6097. (The posh side) Back lanes around Farnsfield, Edingley, Halam, etc. Beautiful scenery and some cracking properties. Beats Basford hands down !
