  2. I went in the Dog and Partridge on Parliament St last Friday, John Smiths smooth was £1.75 a pint. In my local it's £2.45.
  3. I used to live at Calverton and went for bike rides along Beanford lane to ride through the water ford. Not a busy road at all.

  10. Think she had a bit of a "snotty" attitude. Better than anyone else, some of the messages were not nice.
  11. "She" used to post in the personal column all the places she had been to or where she was going. People used to send her messages through the paper, this went on for a few months.
  12. Didn't some one called Nosmo King have a hit record, possibly 1970's?

  19. I thought Trent Boulevard area was bread and lard the poor part of Bridgford, it is surrounded by the Trent and the canal hence the island bit.
  20. We had a Collie for 14 years, she started to have fits which came more often and then she had a stroke which paralysed her. I took her to the Vets knowing what the outcome would be, the vet produced a large syringe and the dog looked at me with a knowing look. I walked out of there in tears. We had her Cremated and buried the ashes at the bottom of the garden where she used to lay. It sounds like you had some good times with your Meg, this must be a sad time for you Firbeck. Den.
  21. Beefy mentioned women being annoying in supermarkets, when you're looking at something on the shelf and an arm brushes past your head without an excuse me, thats annoying.
