... About 1963 took Christine from Hibbert road Mansfield..to 'Goose Fair......and thought while we were there would show her the delights of 'Hyson Green''........'The ''Langham'' being one of em.. Whilst stood at the 'Bar'...she let out a scream... 'Whats up Duck?'' That bloke just squeezed my 'ARSE' Yea..they do that in here...tek na notice Duck... Another 'Babycham'?

It was people from Aspley Rog...not Bulwell....

You put me to shame Rog.......so much so got me neglected Bike out and did a couple of miles.......thanks mate...

Just read the adventures of Rog..........now going for a lay down....fix me Brass Bracket later.......

Only one of my very large family of Uncles Aunts and cousins had a Telly........it was my Aunt Connie on Leybourne drive i was 8 and we all crowded in her front room to watch a tiny Telly........still recall Granddads head blocking my view......must admit i was interested even at that young age.......the Coronation and the Mathews cup final are my first memories of watching TV..........

Another one of my all time favourite songs and singer......so long Harry... Daylight come and i wanna go home......wern't bad either........

That photo cliff ton brings back so many different memories.........1950 ish school walk across fields (before Bestwood Park was built)..........there was a farm called ''Scotties'' where we would pick Strawberries....remember jumping from a Barn onto loads of ''Hay''......and the Farmer accusing us of ;Nicking his ''Strawberries'' just because we were covered in ''Juice''....... It was also the Place where we would meet lads from 'Edwards' lane estate to arrange football matches instead of throwing stones at each other.....we'd play on the 'Camp' pitches...(Prison) In

Danish Tub Butter came in Barrels to Marsdens.....weighing 112 lbs or 2 'Firkins'' Firkin heavy too. when we carried them from a lorry to the shop cellars...to keep the butter cool......

Pretty sure they wern't Cliff ton...when they took over Farrands etc it opened the door for me to travel to different parts of the country which i really enjoyed.......

For those of you who would like to know what happened to Marsdens and Farrands.......they were taken over by this company in the North-east......late 60s

Think i bought all Ricky's records (Hindleys clumber street 6/6 early 60s)....brings back all my Locarno nights.........and the ''Lads and Lasses i smoked and drank Coke with........love to go back to those times...and make all my mistakes again........

Must get the curtains back up..now the ...window cleaners been......

Found this this morning.....''Love it''

I certainly did Lizzie...playing for Notts Corinthians in the Thursday league against the Police..early 60s......good standard of Amatuer football...... I had a run in with the so called ''Travellers''' a few years ago in Morrisons car park Bulwell........one of them threatened to beat me up for having the cheek to use the Zebra crossing in front of them in their Van..........i stood my ground and held up the traffic whilst they kept revving their engine.........and jerking towards me and opening and closing his door as if he was getting out to me...Cut a long story short the Police (havi

The photo is not Babs Boyfriend (sorry for giving that impression) however the picture is a dead ringer for him...........

Who could say no ..... http://5b0988e595225.cdn.sohucs.com/images/20171017/1f5f25c86d004fe2b6a22eb434d2cd74.jpeg

Think youre right JILL..........he is a lovely young big cat...reckon about a year old............when he comes in to eat you can see he's slightly nervous.......think he as a home but Donna says shes taking him to the Vet to see if he's chipped.....Babs is so relaxed with him...we thought she would be feeling pushed out if we fussed him too much.....but NO she's quite happy........i can see some expenses coming if we adopt him......Neutering etc.....but he is lovely.......if we do all that..we'll have to give him a name...thinking 'SAMBO'' what you reckon?

Just got up and Babs was sat on a garden chair on the Patio with her Black boyfriend beside her....... Both saw me thru the kitchen window...and i beckoned to them...at that they ran to the back door......they were very talkative until i fed em with a pouch each of expensive whiskas''........after which they bid each other ''ta ra see ya later......good job i understand ''Cat talk''.........

Just thought i would give you an update on Babs..........as i mentioned before we sadly lost Syd.................well from being that nervous little Kitten abandoned in a shed in 'Geordie land'' over two years ago.....she has become a beautiful large long Haired happy Cat............after we lost Syd we were worried about Babs if she left the Garden......no need she goes next door and we reckon thats the limit of her travels......and the lady next door loves her same as us...... She is the most loving and laid back Cat you can imagine........and she has a set routine......sleeps on and of

I've always been a big fan @lizzieM .......great voice...brilliant mover...Smart Dresser........born within a few weeks of me......so try to keep up with him...but sadly i;m no singer (just 'Growl now lol) can still move.. but a bit stiffly...like me clothes......but no chance with the ''Hairstyle''.... As he says ''Some Guys have all the luck........

The one and only Rod...........some guys have all the Luck......not had it all but had my share..... A London born ''Geezer'' who supports 'Glasgow Celtic''....... Full screen 'A MUST'........

I was at school with a Hatton'' Trevor........any relation Ian ?

Funny how you view places from your childhood days........When i was born in 1945 on Old Bestwood Estate it was always 'Suffixed'' Bulwell..((not so now)........so i consider my self a 'Bestwood Boy'' from Bulwell..........All my greater relatives came from Bulwell and most moved into Council Houses on Bestwood estate in the thirties......... Bulwell was always the ''go to'' place for shopping and we always new it as ''Bulwell Town'' The funny thing is i look back on Bulwell with very fond memories...whereas Old Bestwood sometimes gives me a sad feeling..although i couldn't have had
