Like many Forest fans, I was happy to see Notts get promoted.
Until I heard the video of what County fans said outside their ground.

Well the Royals history brings loads of tourist money into the country , so I've nowt against em. Lets face it they haven't even got a good football team in London so what else is there to see. There were no street parties in Annesley and the last one was when it was Pit village times change but the moaning goes on. Long Live The King and I don't just mean Joe Baker

First went in there when I was 15 and just got my first pay packet (Moorgreen TC NCB )Got me yes knocked up there once but still went back on Friday nights. We had to catch two busses to get there and leave a 10:10pm. I remember seeing Paper Lace there and Mud before they got in the Pop charts. Two pints of Tartan Bitter and on the dance floor. Must have stood out a mile with the Doc Martins on. Good times

My Granddad Willie Roe's brother Arthur played for Luton Town at the time and there were most part of the team called up to a Middlesex regiment in 1914. He did survive to play again .
Granddad harry peach would never mention the war according to my late mam.
-
Both my Granddads fought int the Great War. Harry Peach was in the Northumberland Fusiliers even though he came from Nottingham. I can't trace my Granddad Willie Roe as his name may have been changed to William and/or Rowe at the time he joined up or stated work at the Pits. Its a shame you have to pay to check up on our heroes records but somebody is always there to make shilling or two......... its a pity they didn't take the Kings Shilling like them .

As a kid I was amazed at the one in the Co-op at Annesley. I was often prompted to buy what I came in for by the staff with my written note in hand with Co-op number as well. Maybe I should be telling this to a psychiatrist ??

I was down at Nottingham General one day after a Pit accident and there were three Corned Beef tin injuries there (all cuts). I was glad I worked at Newstead Pit instead of Fray Bentos, it was sfer.

I open the tin by using the can opener both ends, then push the thin end out the thick end. Voila.
You must have a drawer full of spare keys if we need one then

Opposite of this topic I just realised something that has never changed in my lifetime.... the method of opening a tin of Corned Beef, we still use the key! Never seen Corned Beef without the key.

Listening to the media after a draw with Man City , hardly anyone gave praise for good defending. So the Premier Leagues 'whipping boys' continue to climb. COYR

Were those the ones made from a piece of bamboo, sharpened or a nail taped on at one end, split at the other for the flights and launched with a length of string?
Similar, we used any wood for the shaft , usually privet hedge as it split easily.

Best thing about the Corn Flakes box was the cardboard made good flights for the 'throwing arrows'

I loved those Shoot football tables too.
Amongst other things I used to collect Typhoo International Football Stars which you needed to cut out from the back of the packet. It was a slow laborious matter collecting them and a matter of some concern if the packet of tea for that week featured a player that you already had in your collection!

I still have Terry Hennessey and did have Forest Team Spurs team and Jim Baxter like that and was gutted he wasn't wearing the Forest kit. I couldn't wait for the tea caddy to be empty. Then we went back to Indian Prince tea (2/-)which was more expensive but there were some luxuries in life me Dad liked

Had a good day Friday. Ask my friend what kind of present she would like of me for Christmas, she wanted to see the TR panto. so there we were to 70s+ going of to the panto, when we arrived went over to wish Merry Christmas to the manager who is a freind of mine, he asked what seats we were in and gave us a choice to move as we were in between to schools, Well to hear all the children shouting and laughing was a joy, in front of us was a little girl about 3/4 years old and she was singing and dancing it was a plesure to just watch her, What was a change was the saying "He's behind you"" has gone and the panto has come into the 21stcenturay even the prince came from West Bridgford in the panto. Then Joe Pasquale had a bucket which contents which were thown over the people watching well first time bits of paper =, 2nd time bits of paper but 3rd time the bucket had quite a lot of water in it, yes you know what happend my friend and my self were just in the right place for a shower. Well it was all a good bit of fun. The staff gave 100% customer service, the customes and actor;s were very very good if you ask me was this panto for children I would normal say yes!! but even though we were a little older we really did enjoy it. I also think that hearing the children squeal with delight it made the day.
Quote Walt Disney said it doe's not matter how old you are. there still a child in all of us.
I saw my first Panto along with missus, daughter , boyfriend and Granddaughter (aged 4). I was reminded by my daughter that we never ever took her to one until our Granddaughter came along. Well better late than never. It was enjoyable mainly watching Layla's (Granddaughter) reaction to it all. For her it was the trumping bit and the slapstick bits but she really enjoyed it and her favourite was of course Muddles (Joe P). Definitely going to the next one!

I have tried various pub sunday dinners (not lunches ) but prefer my missus' dinners. Usually four veg, beef and Yorkshires. I told her it was better than eating out and she just said I am tight.We were both right for a change.
