Forgive my ignorance...but what's a BOT ?

Thanks Jill but no..........it was a school photo when we were about 10................although we did play together a few times for Park Tavern..... I was 29 on that photo...and the goalie was Kenny Gray...who i saw only the other day......he's 80 this year and still plays a bit... I have some amazing old friends still ''Kicking about''....excuse the 'Pun''........lol

Thats brilliant Woody..........and @cliff ton........think it was in 2021.........

Same from me trogg..............

Tried a few words CT...but no luck...............it was a photo of Henry whipple school team 1956 ish...on st albans road bulwell... John is the goalkeeper biggest lad on the picture.......tried quoting several surnames but no luck.........be great if you can find it mate..........

Often see a lad i was at school with... in Bulwell...........wont use his full name dont seem right.........his first name is John...... I always say ey-up John...and he just replies with a smile and Hello.....and has no further conversation....suspected he just didnt remember me........... Saw him this morning with his wife...and decided to tell him about an old school Football Photo from 1956 which we are both on.......(its on here somewhere but cant find it..........decided to take the bull by the horns and asked him DO you remember me John....NO he replied..i h

I Bow to your knowledge Jill on NO more dairy products............They do enjoy Babs food.......and i think she enjoys watching them enjoying it.......

Spent 4 hours on my large Garden yesterday (size of a football Penalty area so large by my standards)....my Gardening now days consists of ''Weeding'' and Moving over 100 Plants (in Pots) cant Dig anymore due to restricted shoulder agility........when i have moved all the Plants it really does look like a different Garden.......... Anyway this morning every bone in my body Aches so looking forward to my neighbours son coming to Mow my large lovely Lawns......... I Put different food out every night.......and i know its the Hedgehogs that enjoy it.......and my Babs

Thought i'd start this 'Thread'...seeing as how i'm always 'Bumping' into people from my deep past...and its usually interesting........ To-day was no exception...and just happened to be in Bulwell...lol... A chap ive known since my teenage years literally bumped into me as he was leaving a shop.......not actually seen him for a few years....he's same age as me and retired same as me at 73 thru 'Ill-Health''...5 years ago...... About 4 weeks ago his lady phoned us and said he's in Hospital and its touch and go.......so you can imagine my delight

Loved some beautiful women........and the great thing is each one was even more beautiful than the last.... Full screen is best...........

Might have mentioned before ref my second hand shoes...i bought in a Charity shop some 20 years since....for £30........Well took em to the Cobblers up the Alley in Bulwell (naturally)its been there since the year Dot.. last week........picked them up this morning Re-Heeled and nicely polished...last repaired same place 4 years ago......so if i'm lucky shouldn't need doing again...if you know what i mean...

You have a rant Rog............looking back at the things you just mentioned....is definatetly not 'Rose-Tinted''......is it............

Some people will say that we ''look back' with 'Rose-Tinted Glasses''.......to a certain extent this is true.......but i do believe the old days were generally much better in many ways........

Aother old photo of how Bulwell used to be back in the 50s....curtesy of 'Turtons' old bulwell........ This one is roughly where Wilko's now stands previously the Coop...lots of old shops were demolished to make the building which is now wilko's.......among the old shops were a Mens shoe shop...a Gents Tailors where you could buy quality items...shoes...shirts...suits etc...be nice to have them back...but wouldn't last long...as todays Men don't seem to wear quality clothes.........anymore...

Bulwell had some same...

Wilco look like closing in Bulwell.....and it would certainly have a detrimental effect on the Old Town.....i reckon if it closes they should turn it into an indoor market.the open air one at present is busy when it operates as a Flea Market.......i'm sure an indoor flea market would work in Bulwell.......Bit of a throw back many years to Central Market in town...

Georgina (Georgy) made me a happy man this morning.......sorted the Pain ive been having last couple of weeks with my ''Ingowing Toe Nails''....Danced all the way down the corridor of the clinic on my way out...

No where do they do a ''Grab a Granddad''..Barrie...even the Grannies love being chased.......and if your a Gent'' you will oblige....

Mind me Mam's lino.....wiv them Heels''

Nowt up with ''Grab a Granny'' /or even Aunty Jill...........only wanted a Dance Your Dad and Uncle Gilbert sound like me and my Uncle John And Barrie......you don't have to be old enough to 'Grab one''.....

Jill..did Uncle Gilbert go to any ''Grab an 'Aunty' nights......

Back in about 1973 i stayed in Grimsby/Cleethopes every Tues or wed night at the 'Dolphin' hotel....for most of the year.............. Had some great nights there especially ''Grab a Granny nights'' cant recall the name of the place ...on the Sea front......did business with some lovely people in the VG Stores.......used to have me Haircut and a shave in Grimsby the Barber told me he used to cut Duncan Mckenzie's hair when he was a 'Nipper'' Also used to watch Grimsby Town when they had Mid=week matches....was introduced to Laurie Mcnemamy at one game.....
