Mick's just shortened MG's moniker by taking off the number and 2 letters at the end, and as he's done that throughout the thread you can't see what he's done. Good idea, otherwise too much information.

Don't worry Mick, some of us gerrit !

Mmmm, must live in Arna .....

Welcome Mgmanatng5, you'll find loads of folk on Nottstalgia who are still Mods at heart!

Beefsteak and Trevor, you're both wrong with the nationalities of these two commentators, assuming you're talking about Michael Holding (Jamaican) and David Lloyd (English). Both of these men are interesting and very knowledgeable cricket commentators, with Bumble (David Lloyd) entertaining the viewing public with his comments and anecdotes, he was of course a first class umpire after his playing career finished. He also loves calling into the Lincolnshire Poacher when he's in Nottingham! I saw him in there a couple of years ago in fact. If you're a cricket fan Trevor I really don't see ho

It was Summer County in our house ......... Oops, going off topic a tad here!

Don't apologise Carni, you start some really good topics and have great input to Nottstalgia ........keep the memories flowing for us all

I thought that too Paulus !

I watched that programme too Jackson and had a smile on my face for 90 minutes. Thank goodness I've recorded it too so I can watch again. I just love Rod, what a performer. We were at the Arena last month to see his fantastic performance ....... Only downside was that the bloke next to me caught a football that I'm sure was destined for me!! (And it was signed too)

You've done really well on a tight budget there Pixie, well done for sniffing out the bargains, the flower bed looks very attractive and colourful and the 'Poundland' lawn has grown so well. Just be careful your little lady doesn't mistake sweet pea pods for the edible kind!

Marvellous Carni, so pleased you had a great family get-together and it's good to know that your meal was nice too. Pity you were stuck inside the Old Spot on such a beautiful day though! And you probably missed that Brit winning Wimbledon too, never mind it'll be replayed time and time again.

Be scared folks ....... RadfordRed is on the warpath again!

Done, good luck!

I attempted to 'Like' your creation Kev but couldn't find it on there and also they were asking me for all sorts of info about myself. Will try again.

Katyjay and Ayeupmeducks, I think you might be getting muddled up with your National Insurance number ...... that's the one that the pension people need to know

No it's not too hot ...... before folk start complaining, think about the 10 months of horrid weather we get every year!

Jackson, we'd not seen a hedgehog for more than 20 years, apart from spotting one on the road along from our house a few months ago. We lived down south before coming back to Nottingham 9 years ago and in a wood at the bottom of our garden at the previous house we had badger setts and always assumed, like Darkazana says, that badgers eat hedgehogs and in all those years at that house we never once spotted one. It was lovely to have the badgers around although we never saw them except if we got up in the night when we'd see and hear them romping about on the lawn. We also had Muntjac deer in

Congratulations Stan! We had our first grandchild just 9 weeks ago, a little girl ...... an amazing feeling, I never realised how wonderful it would be. Enjoy the new baby Stan

Whoohoo! We've got a hedgehog in our garden as well now ..... they must be making a comeback. The problem is that our dog won't leave it alone, I think he's frightened of it !

Your promenade seats look rather more comfortable than they did on the pic you took the other month Eric !!

It certainly helps to have a cell phone when you're lost in Ft Pierce though Mudgie :-D

Me too Cliff Ton. Everywhere you go you see people talking or texting, holding you up in supermarket queues, while sitting in restaurants or on the bus and train. It's just so ignorant in my opinion. My own family are just as bad ...... we were out for a meal in town with our son, daughter-in-law and grandson a few months ago and all three were texting and checking Facebook while sitting at the table. I've even been standing waiting to pay for goods in a shop and the girl BEHIND the counter was gassing on her mobile.

Terribly worrying for you Katyjay but I'm sure your boy will be OK. The Nottstalgia community are thinking about you.

I don't remember doing that at my school but I'm sure it helped when you were saving up your pocket money for Goose Fair!

The fact that this particular thread comes up really small on the left hand side of my iPad !
