  1. Hello, Ian. I've just put an article on the Notts County thread and if you scroll down the page you'll see a couple of photos of Sutton Street. I had a friend called Kenny Markham who lived on Sutton Street.
  2. I've just found this excellent article regarding the history of Notts County FC. There's some really good old photos. Thanks to 'Footymad' http://boards.footymad.net/showthread.php?t=38206582
  3. Happy birthday, trevorthegasman. I hope you're enjoying your special day. Hoping you and your family are well, Trevor.
  4. People will have different views regarding Notts County FC, mainly through the football (maybe if they'd signed my eldest son when he was a young lad things would have been different, haha. He went with them for a tournament in Holland) but there's a lot more to NCFC than that. When my wife was recovering from breast cancer she received tremendous help from Macmillan Cancer Support and Notts County's 'Football In The Community' which I've attached below. I'm sure that most people are unaware of this and I just hope the new owners of Notts County FC will carry this on. https://www.nottsco
  5. Brew, Nottstalgia was the first Forum I'd ever joined in 2011 and I'd no idea how to download photos onto the Forum. I'd get into a right mess with it and quite a few members would give me advice. Despite their help I just couldn't get the hang of it and a few times I ended up just leaving an X, as you have done. After a few days it all became clear to me and I couldn't understand why I'd struggled with it. The same will happen to you so I'm looking forward to seeing your photos.
  6. I don't understand what 'Thar grates' means, Deepdene Boy.
  7. Nottingham Forest FC is now the oldest football league club after Notts County FC's relegation.
  8. Happy birthday, Carnie. I hope you're enjoying your special day.
  9. Happy birthday, Sue. I hope you're enjoying your special day.
  10. There's been many stories and videos regarding Forest's time under Brian Clough and Peter Taylor but this video includes many hilarious stories and videos that I've not seen before. Well worth a watch before tonights big game against the Rams at the City Ground. https://www.youtube.com/embed/_CxgKy00O_g
  11. Nottingham’s heritage assets to be celebrated and given extra protection I wish they'd done this years ago before they ripped Nottingham apart. Nottingham’s historic buildings that are not currently formally recognised are going to be given extra protection under a new scheme being introduced by the City Council. The council has approved the adoption of a heritage local list, which will ensure that a number of the city’s most treasured heritage assets currently not given national protection through Historic England listing, are protected and remain a key part
  12. I've just found this photo that may be of interest to some of you.
  13. My wife and I have sat talking tonight about the Omagh bombing which happened on the 15th August 1998. The Real Irish Republican Army (RIRA) set off a car bomb that killed 29 people and injured over 200 others. My wife had flown to Northern Ireland to look after my youngest sons two children while he and his wife went to a special occasion which meant an overnight stay. On the day of the bombing my wife got the children ready and was going to take a walk into Omagh. She hadn't gone far before she realised that she'd probably get lost so she took them to a local park instead. On that
  14. I find it annoying when I get a crumb in my keyboard and get a gh hhhhg gggh hjjhgg hhhghjh gghhghhhghjhhhgjghhjgjhhhjhgjjhjhhjhjjh
  15. No, I wasn't in shock, MargieH. I'd forgotten about it two minutes later although it would have been a different matter if I'd hit him. Like catfan and Ian state you just have to be aware and expect things to happen although there's not much you can do about the idiots, young and old, who race around causing carnage on our roads.
  16. I nearly killed a child today. I was driving along the road and could see a lady with some children walking towards me on the pavement. As I approached them a young boy dropped his ball and ran into the road to retrieve it. I managed to swerve and just missed him. Thankfully, I was only doing 30mph. Any faster a lot of peoples lives would have been changed in an instant.
  17. I rescued a ladybird from my pond today and it made my day. There's just something special about ladybirds and robins in your garden.
