Same here Jill........Love Dogs and Cats in fact all animals.....and when it comes Birds the same applies.......i put food out for them on the roof of my large Garden shed.......then wait for them to descend on it.......Pigeons...Magpies...Seagulls...and others......love watching them on the feed...and their inter-actions with the other species....how anyone can hurt them i'll never know............

Yes Kev Railway club still standing.....called summat else now.......
The place holds too many memories for me.to ever visit again.......memories such as.....
Working behind the Bar....with some great people...
First wedding reception....
About 20 of my family were members....met up most sat nights.....
Oh yea..nearly forgot
Played football for them for 3 or 4 years....Also great place for Dancing sat nights to many local Artist's...among them Reg Guest trio.....anyone remember them?
The place began in the late 50s...and my railway Dad and Granddads were among the original members....

What a brilliant piece of 'Nostalga' Kev.............I was born and brought up less than 100 yards from where some of it was filmed................can still hear the rattle of Coal trucks that went thru the night and the Whistle of the Engines...recognised many of the places.........Its a wonder i didnt see my Dad and both Granddads who were working all around the places filmed.......
Even the drivers and firemen i would have known from my days serving them behind the Bar at the Railway club..in the 60s....which was situated almost under Bulwell Viaduct........
Is it just me that really loves this type of thing..?.....but it makes me sad at the same time.........God bless all the long gone old Railway men.......

Have you noticed how many people today seem to want a confrontation especially over Parking.........?
Yesterday i went to my local supermarket ..which is always very busy and difficult to Park......often see people arguing over Parking.......
Well yesterday i thought it was my turn.to be 'got at''.......the only space i found had a large 4x4 parked at least a foot into the space i decided on....Managed to squeeze in but left myself no room to open my door....or the 4x4 owners........
Without looking for a confrontation i decided to wait until the 4x4 owners return....when i would pull forward to let them out........i was in no hurry and thought i would make a couple of Text calls..........after only a couple of minutes the owner a middle aged lady returned.........the conversation went............
Lady........what a silly place to Park....
Me..........Good morning...yes i know;; there was nowhere else.......
Lady.......Well are you 'Shifting' it then?
Me........Ofcourse Madam..........by the way i must ask...''where did you get that lovely Tan?
Lady....(looking a bit 'Dumbfounded).......On a cruise in the 'Carribean'' (sp)
Me.......Love to have gone with you....perhaps next time........(..at that i pulled forward to let her out..)....
Lady ..........As she pulled out) Lovely parking in your space....we must do it again sometime.......(Then drove off giving me a wave)
Just goes to show a possible poor encounter.....can turn out Nice

On leaving school in 1960 and thru my Teens....Bobby was one of my favourites........Reckon i had most of his records.......those early 60s there would be a Party nearly every week with my old 'School-mates''....and the songs of Bobby Vee were always in evidence.....
He sadly passed away from Alzheimers disease at 73.......
