Thank you from me too Paul. Every year I see the Mothers Day cards in the shops and wish I was buying one for my Mum but sadly I haven't had to do that for 26 years. RIP to my best friend and best Mummy in the World.

Amusing story Smiffy, intriguing too. Would the bush have been hiding in one of your amps or speakers? What was your group called? Looking forward to your next story, much better than reading about politics!!

Is that still the official retirement age for a man? I have no idea as both my husband and I have been spending our OAP for a few years already!

Happy Birthday DavidW and Merthyr Imp. Enjoy your special day

That's a shame Melissa, but then a professional footballer only has until early 30's before he has to find something else to do for the rest of his life. They can't all go on to be managers!

Just thinking more about my Dad going to Cottesmore ...... he actually passed the exam to go to High Pavement but refused to go there because they played rugby. His Dad couldn't care less where he went (yeah, not a very good father). Anyway my Dad was a very good footballer, captained the school team and played for Nottingham Boys before going to Notts County. The war came at the wrong time for him but he was in the RAF team for several years. He would NEVER watch rugby on the telly but I did drag him to watch my sons playing a few times!!

My Dad was there in the 30's .....

Well I don't know enough about football really. I've spent too much time listening to my Dad moaning about Notts over the years! He was a very critical man but what he said was usually absolutely right. Not sure about a foreign manager though and I don't think Clough will move again by choice at the moment.

Hey, stop that! I remember him playing and seen him on the touch line with the U21s.

Stuart Pearce ....... Psycho ...... he's got passion.

It's Mr Fawaz's toy and only he can play with it !

Hello and welcome Richard, hope you enjoy Nottstalgia

Poohbear, on the Falcon Blog I read that there are 4 eggs. I haven't seen more than 1, when that first one was laid, but I haven't watched very much yet.

Well he didn't last long did he, lol

Happy Birthday to Jackson, Mudgie and Dennis. Enjoy your special day.

Sorry, got it wrong ....... The statue was unveiled at 1 pm. It took them an hour and a half to concrete it in !!

11.30 am.

24th July 1952.

Totally agree with you Poohbear. I understand the new Slab Square cost around £8m. You wouldn't imagine wheelchair access to cost that much ...... because that's what we have, a big flat boring area which is capable of housing the occasional big wheel, a beach in the school summer holidays and a Christmas market. There is ONE local family making money out of all those events.

What's wrong with that? They go well with sausages in blankets with yer Christmas dinner ......

I was at Digby College in 1966/67 with a Jane Terzza. Very unusual surname ......... I think she lived Ruddington/Keyworth area.

I don't have smileys on iPad either Loppylugs, you're not alone in being able to express yourself properly!!

Welcome Futurist ! And do you still partake in synchronised swimming?

You should have been with me on the 3 occasions I've been sort of in her company Kev. The first was in 1975 when I was helping my sister-in-law working on a film at Haddon Hall. We were staying in the Victoria Hotel, as were all the cast members, except Oliver Reed who was chucked out for wrecking the bar on the first night. She was in the lift snogging Patrick Wayne (John's son). They were really going at it, I didn't know where to look! The next time I saw here was at the Royal Albert Hall, she was with her husband in a box next to us and sitting with Joan Collins and her toy boy husban

Arrrh ok, I do remember posting about my connection with Queens Grove but forgot it was a discussion with you!
