Always enjoyed Des.........seemed a really nice bloke......reminded me of the nicest bloke i ever knew.. my Uncle John...even looked like him.... Thought his voice was very under rated............he had a record in the top 20 in the late 60s..''I pretend''............Plus dick a dum- dum Oh yes i even liked ''Dick a dum dum''........lol

Just to show ''Life'' really was nicer..back then........ People...Music...Clothes......

67/68.......I was no longer a teenager but my love of music and dance had grown stronger........helped by( in my opinion) this beautiful song and sound.....one of the best ever.......... Was still doing the 'Light Fandango''...even doing ''Cartwheels cross the floor'''

Reckon the drift starts in Hucknall.....not Devon.........lol Loverly Picture though............

Very nice covering of snow this morning.......North of Bulwell...........

Her name was Brenda.........she was a big girl................... At the Jaguar....Jaguar Stapleford.........

Had a girlfriend who could see it from her bedroom window......... So she told me.......

Did you spot the ''Hemlock stone'' ?..........i think...

Wish i'd asked Doreen instead....

The 'Bee Gees'' and John Travolta...........what a combination......

I remember Buddy's passing.......i was in my last year at Padstow school.... OH yes....Happy birthday Col..........

I had forgot about this nice recording by Neil..........takes me back to my teenage years and living on Bestwood estate.......where i knew an 'Angel' on every street..........

Despite Mans best attempts to spoil our world...............it is untouchable...and always will be...........

Feeling sentimental this morning.........thought i'd play mine and Donna's special song.............. Never been to New York city or even the moon............. But she being a 'Country Girl ' at heart used to get lost between Bulwell and Basford.....

PALAIS closed down how sad....... This has really upset me......not been for about 40 years after getting 'Barred''........did nowt wrong honest....... So many great memories.......especially of old friends....and the.. Bali Hai Shoe shine Bouncing down the famous steps Smelling of ''Olde' Spice'' Undulating floor May i have this Dance?......or even ''Dance Duck'' ? Ay-up Duck come here often? Trying to look like 'Billy Fury''.........and failing...lol.... Slim Jim Tie... Winkle Pickers... I could go on.......hope the place is

First goalkeeper i saw for forest was Harry Walker.....anyone else see him play? Another memorable keeper was Harry Nicholson........remember him ? very big bloke........recall Alec Jeffery Doncaster star of the distant past splitting his forhead open when he ran into Nicholson's chest...

Recently been watching the French version (original ?).......Maigret is played by Bruno Cremer.....brilliant actor and oddly enough looks very much like Rupert Davies.......although this 50 odd episodes is with Sub-titles...really enjoying it........

Did'nt watch this more than 25 years ago when it was ist aired.......but with not going out much in the mornings lately.......got really into its repeats....... Even love the Music and words and the parts of Yorkshire it was filmed in... Amazing how many of the actors have appeared in Corrie and Emmerdale too..........i know the area quite well having worked up there.....much of it was filmed in and around Huddersfield...think a couple of the main places were Slaithwaite and Marsden would you believe......i'm sure i recall sitting outside a little cafe years ago very close to

Ive never been into Horse racing..or any Gambling.......took enough gambles with ordinary life........ My Dad loved a little flutter most days.......down to the bookies... Bob each way on his fancy..........after retiring he'd spend longer in the bookies and sometimes have a ''Round Robin'' whatever that was.......he used to see many of his old Railway mates in there as well.......Think about him every time i drive past the old bookies.......still there.......

''The Cisco Kid'' was my favourite back in the mid-50s......didnt have a Telly untill i was about 12........and Cisco along with his mate 'Pancho''.were very ...good Mexican Cowboys........and Cisco was a bit of a ladies man....

Me and BILL WERE just wondering Kev and Jill Why you dont like us? We like you Almost as much as 'Little Weed'' ......

Can't have enough favourites.....but Glen Campbell is definately one of mine...

The great Rod.....looking good at 78 yrs old.......here he is only last year in Northampton....... I used to live near there.......but i don't want to talk about it either......

Thought i'd go through 'Chris de Burgh's'' songs to see if i could find one as good as this......... Answer no i couldn't........... IVE always found Ladies in red....trouble... But you gotta have a bit of trouble in life...

Went in Jeromes in Bulwell this morning first time for about 3 weeks....... Lots of 'EY UPS' WHERE YO BINS''......Nice to be missed...and enjoyed an ''Eggs Benedict Then bumped into an old friend from my football days in the 70s......he's a couple of years younger than me...and sadly in a wheel-chair....not lost his sense of humour though..........told him im making a come-back next season..''.how about joining me?''''..........laughing he said...shan't bother and you wont be 'Gobbing off at every one will ya?''....alluding to my lack of normal speech.......called him a ''Cheeky Sod'
