Trevor will know, he was serving petrol at that time, earning his pocket money

I meant Loughborough Uni. not Loughbough, Hehe!

Student food? Our boys went to Loughbough Uni. We bought a house in the town when the eldest one started there and kept it for 9 or 10 years. We spent a fair amount of time in Loughborough during the summer, re-furnishing and general maintenance on the house. What we did notice was that the town centre was pretty dead during the summer, bit like Lenton and Beeston maybe?

Nope, sitting in the sunshine still ...... 86 degrees ...... Lovely ! Get back to UK on Tuesday, if I can drag myself to the airport.

Well ModelTMan, that's how you get a reaction from us regular Nottstalgia posters, just tell us our favourite forum is disjointed!! Are you in or do you still want out?!!!!

No ....... Went to a few in Bingham, Mapperley Park and Mapperley.

Thanks Rob, appreciate your offer of help and will most likely be in touch next week!

Oh Katy, that did make me laugh! My pals and I would tell porkies to our parents too, about staying at friends overnight, I suppose we all did it. There was one Saturday night, the end of Goose Fair, and we'd all got it planned, we were staying at each other's houses as far as parents were concerned. Friends of ours, a brother and sister called Paddy and Deirdre, invited us to stay at their house up Sherwood Rise somewhere so at midnight several of us went to the house. We all sat chatting away, don't think there was any booze as we were a little underage for that malarkey. Suddenly the f

Surely there's no need for you to unsubscribe, just don't bother to log onto Nottstalgia ....... There are no email alerts or anything else you'll need to worry about. Like Darkazana commented, a little perseverance might help, there are hundreds of topics and Nottstalgia has several thousand members.

I too only got 15 Darkazana. I reckon you and I didn't spend as much time glued to the box as all the others.

We bought a Sony laptop, but it's more of a tablet with a keyboard separate. It's Windows 8, we bought it in Miami in November and left it so we could use it when we're over here. When we came here the other week we brought our old laptop just in case we couldn't figure the new one out ( we're not very clever when it comes to technology!). So, we cannot get the hang of the new computer and the old laptop has given up the ghost completely while we've been here! Feel like my right arm's been chopped off, good job I have an iPad with me. The trouble is we've had work to do on the computer ...

Somebody nicked my 4 Tops LP at a party, the thieving swine!

I have a large collection of old postcards, mostly sent by my Grandad to his Mother asking for her to send a parcel of clean collars to where he was working (for Boots) in the early 1900s. Occasionally I dip into the shoe box that they live in and pull a few out to read and look at the fabulous photos of mainly High Streets around the country. The reason for this ramble is because one postcard was sent to a relation and all it says on the address is THE BEER OFF, LONG EATON. Must have only been one there in those days then .....

Must have been when they were performing at the grand opening night of Intercon then ! Errol Brown ........

Maybe if there's a little boy Falcon this year he can be named George as he hatched today

Congratulations Darkazana, you're doing well....... 9 grandchildren, we've only got one and she'll be 1 year old on Friday.

Wonderful news. I've been checking every day (from America) but not been able to get on NTU Falcons today as the laptop is playing up and I'm not able to get the site on my iPad. Let's hope they all fledge successfully and none come to the fate of Storm, bless her.

Don't know about the guy Cook but Ian Hallam was/ is still a Dentist. He rode for Beeston RC, was a Commonwealth Gold winner in the Pursuit. Not sure if he rode in the Olympics. I knew him well around the early 70's, remember going out one weekend afternoon with him in his ex-Police car (with a vinyl roof to hide where the blue light used to be), we went to Wollaton Park and the car clocked 100,000 miles while we were there, he was joking that if he drove backwards then the clock wouldn't progress from 100,000! Funny what silly things stay in your memory. I believe he moved to Bournemouth to

I have Chris Gray too Basfordred. Not a bad dentist. Have to go to the Hygienist every 3 months too, nothing ever wrong with my teeth, it's me gums that need constant attention!! Chris played for Scotland as well.

My first experience of dentists was when I was about 8 when I was taken for a check-up to Dr Parks Corner in Gedling (or Carlton). Hadn't thought I had any problems but the dentist gave me about half a dozen fillings! When we moved from that area I went to a practice on Mansfield Road, just above Woodborough Road, a Mr Boyd. He seemed an OK chap but when I dived into Arnold Baths, hit the bottom and took a lump out of a front tooth at the age of 13 he wouldn't crown it with porcelain, telling me it had to be a gold crown until I'd left school and finished playing hockey. I was so upset, kids

Never liked Paul Ince ......... he was such a pr*t when he was playing, always taking his shirt off at the end of a match trying to show off his 'buff' body. Didn't impress ME.

Awwww, bless him! Will he be available for the remaining games of the season?

I'm watching both teams from afar! Keep studying the tables and remaining fixtures and then wonder why I'm bothered. Well I am very bothered and want both Forest and Notts to be doing well.

Cheeky monkey Michael, but maybe true

Back in the late 60's (I suppose) I had a mini length rabbit fur coat, lovely it was and it just about covered my hot-pants I hung onto that coat for 15 or 20 years but never wore it after about 1970 ish. Eventually I decided to stick it in a black bag with loads of other clothes from my youth and donated it all to the Salvation Army where we lived down south. I was absolutely thrilled a few weeks later to see a tiny old lady wearing the exact same coat while I was shopping in the market! Because she was so small it was full-length on her. I had no doubt at all that it was my old coa
