#29 yes blondie, he was in the force when i last spoke to him.

Only noticed two places north of the 'Trent',......they don't know what they missing

Sorry Denshaw, both left the Pavilion at same time,.............NO BALL.

I knew when we started about Cricketing terms it would 'Drag on'.............must Bowl a 'Maiden over'

Yes they can stay at 'long off'

Yes blondie' i knew Paul,Ist met him playing cricket schooldays 50s,then did'nt see him again until the 90s when we were both working in Town,he lived at Beeston then and cycled the canal to work,he has a son called Chris who worked in Security.

Ah but Mick,.........you can't beat a good 'deep fine leg'

The ist wife said she'd divorce me if i carried on playing Cricket at weekends,.....................the following Sunday i made a 'Majestic' 50.

As long has they're not watching Michael,

ALL the best for tuesday Catfan.

Lace Market 1960,........what a busy place employing 100s,........i was 15 and employed as a 'Van lad' at midland station and used to do deliverys round the 'lace market' and the Piped music' blasting out as the workers sang along to it,everytime i hear 'Paper Roses' my mind goes back there.

Melissa,that could be a 'silly backward point' or even a ' backward short leg' but thanks for ' declaring'

And i'm certainly glad i never took you out Mick

Glad i never took you out 'back in the day' Sue,........all you did was complain.......

I'M SURE he would have confirmed who you were 'Lizzie'

#54 I remember the 'Beatmen' at the Locarno,as ive said before 'Teanbeat night' tuesdays 1/6, if you went in at lunchtime it was just records but the price was only 6d,

The 'Swifts' were if i remember right a large family that lived in St'Anns and when i worked for Marsdens early 60s Wallys Mam used to do her shopping in the one on Parliament st,funnily enough opposite the 'Ice Stadium' where Wally went on to have many of his fights.

I believe Reg Guest married a Bestwood est girl,saw him play at BRSA Bulwell in the 60s when i worked there as Barman,did you go there Blondie?

Did Harry play piano karlton? there was a pianist named Harry who loved his Jazz who played twice a week at the Masons in Old Basford in the 80s

They certainly were 'catfan' i did some door work late 60s with a few of them,one i remember from Sneinton; Brian Harrison used to spar with Wally Swift.

Love it,letsavago' proper 'Del-boys' wer'nt they.

Some characters among the 'Barrowboys' back in the 60s,played snooker with some of em thursday afternoons (place nr the old Empire) and one i remember was a one eyed one who used to sell flowers,think he made more money in the snooker hall though playing 'find the lady' anyone remember him or indeed 'find the lady'...........ah misspent youthful hours.

Yes, but don't forget all are not Muslims,
