I was watching a news programme today about Boris Johnson's visit to the Virgin Islands and standing behind him was my son !!!! He was only on view for seconds but so nice to see him so unexpectedly. I was a very proud mum, he wears his green beret with pride.

All women are good at this but wives have it off to a fine art.

It makes you fat or so "they" say, i don't listen.

I'm with Mrs C on this one, don't have salt and vinegar on my fish and chips either.

When i was accepted at Nottingham Uni asked them to help me find somewhere to live. They found us a flat in Radford seemed ok on paper so we accepted, bit of a shock when we arrived. It was directly in front of players factory and the first thing we noticed was the smell we had no choice than to move in. We were living next door to a muslim family who were nice but killed chickens in their backyard on Fridays. We stayed 3 months before moving to West Bridgeford sharing a house with a girl I met at uni. My friend had got a job at players and travelled back to radford as the wages were good

My sons boots are always polished to perfection says thats the first thing he learnt when joining up. His first instructor used to say if your boots don't shine nor do you. On leave he lives in trainers.

Should be include within marriage service.

Loopy these devices can be a good thing, my granddaughter has one of the devices fitted (not long passed her test) someone ran into her at a junction. They signalled to go left came straight on hit her on the driver side, on their accident form said they were doing 30mph but the device in her car recorded the impact at 51mph so can have their uses.

Think its the Barnet Formula, they get paid a subsidy goes back a number of years when they were in need. Now it allows them to give free prescriptions/university fees to name but a few. Its worth looking up. If they get the independence their government wants so much the Barnet Formula should stop.

Britania beef dripping try Waitrose/Tesco/Morrisons available locally to me, maybe available country wide.

Or even a liberty bodice, Ben may have a spare one.

Next on the list in america is "Gone with the wind" state of tennesse has branded it racialy insensitive, this is after screening it for 60 years. What next book burning.

There is Captain Cook Museum in Staithes now incorporated in the Heritage Centre. We spent all of my childhood holidays in Staithes my aunt married a local fisherman, she still owns a house on Cowbar Bank, our children loved to go as did our grandchildren. WE tend not to go in the summer holidays to busy, if you walked up the bank you went onto Boulby cliffs.

Without names, Jill was instantly recognisable by her cat jumper.

I may have found out what comes next after Nelsons Column - The Odinist Faith have requested that the Church of England give them back churches because 1,300 years ago they took over their places of worship.

Calling for Nelsons column to be knocked down what will the Pc idiots come up with next. Robin Hood because he took money from the rich, Earl Grey because they don't like his tea, Boadicea because she was a female warrior, the list could be endless. If these people are our future we won't have one.

Carni- have booked to see the Billy Fury story next month at Newcastle City Hall, if you have seen it more than once that's a good recommendation.

Out of curiosity checked prices for Eastwood Hall and Sun Inn both virtually same price.

Cliff Ton - have posted a reply about Dirty Dicks only, nothing else forthcoming from hubby.

Advice noted and taken thank you, we have been going to the Sun Inn for a number of years it was run by a relative when we first went when they moved on we kept on going.

Only help that I can give is re: Dirty Dicks real greasy spoon place known for their pink lint cobs "spam and tomato" about 3/4 shops up from Lenos Cinema, might give a point of reference for other shop.

Thanks TBI shall continue my rambling, i sometimes go back to the early comments mainly those that cover Hyson Green. The palm street gang and robbing bonfires brought back some memories for hubby.. Coming to Nottingham for a wedding soon thinking of Eastwood Hall anyone recommend, usually stay at the Sun Inn but want a change.

Have read all the comments in this thread and have come to the conclusion that maybe i shouldn't be posting. My hubby is Hyson Green born and bred so joined to keep him up with all the changes in Nottingham. Most of my posts are of my own area plus those of when we visit relatives in Nottingham, i lived in Nottingham 3 years one year at University rest working. If i have got things wrong sorry. Love reading all posts anything and everything.

Hubby was in the children's hospital in 1955 from August to beginning of November and the only thing he can remember is the night sister singing " There's a tiny house by a tiny stream" she sang it every night before putting the lights out. He thinks the ward was called the " boiler ward" as it was in the basement recalls there were no big window just very small ones.
