Without a sense of humour i believe life must be alot harder,i was bought up with lots of laughter among my many Uncles and Aunts,humour is universal and differrent in many parts of the world.even in different parts of England,and nottingham has one of its own.ribbing and insults are still popular among most of us. I had a walk round my local fishing ponds where i am a member,yesterday,and was subjected to and gave much comedic abuse.micky taking,i loved it. most (not all)on Nottstalgia seem to have and enjoy this form of humour,is it just a Nottingham thing?

WHISTLERS, people who whistle inanley thru their teeth,no tune or owt just a stupid noise,especialy when behind you in a que

I got my Hamfistedness from my Dad,he was completly US at owt to do with DIY,my mother was very houseproud and was always having new fitted carpets. one time she had a very thick one fitted and you couldnt open the door.Dad said he would plane the door bottom. he took the door off and went in the garden,after much banging planeing and even sawing,he returned triumphant with a shorter door,( and i mean shorter)he fixed it to the jar,obviously way to short,and as mother berated him,THE CAT WALKED IN UNDER IT.

AT LAST ONE I CAN UNDERSTAND

AND MORE,WHEN WILL IT END :biggrin:

please dont be offended chaps,but this has given me the biggest laugh since joining nosttalgia,its total bollocks to me,love it :laugh: :laugh:

Smart arse

I have"nt got a clue with anything to do with DIY or owt mechanical,just completly bored me when i was young.I was the only one in my class who refused to stay back after school and take our science teachers motor bike to bits and then reassemble it. "WHAT" i thought! are they real. however over the years ive realised this must have cost me a fortune. Simple ( to most blokes anyway ) tasks about the home or car are beyond me,and have always had to pay someone to do them. would love to hear from any "soul mates" among you,

OH YE OF LITTLE FAITH,with a good old Bestwood boy in charge they be rate

I KNEW A PC SHOOTER

CRYING, ofcourse there is a time to cry its a human trait,but to cry in public is/was just not British,but now it seems to be activley encouraged.the worst are contestants on so called Talent shows where they wine and give uss their sob stories (my Granny died 5 yrs ago and she was only 103) before going on to serenade us with some rubbish.the worst are those on "Deal or no deal"they ALL cry,even the bloody audience. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BRITISH STIFF UPPER LIP ?

Then there was the styles, short back and sides,crew cut,Tony Curtis,DA,(ducks arse),the Boston,and moving on to Mohican,Beatle cut, ANY MORE ?

Was big Sid working there jackson?

Amazing int it,the thread went round Europe,Denmark,Normandie and Glasgow,some butter dish

mam used to put butter on my head if i bumped it,and i remember my Dad using lard when he had no brylcreme.one day there was no brylcreme or lard,so i used butter,HOT DAY AND STUNK THE CLASS OUT

I Think alot of us have a book in us,and you certainly do Gerry,when i am waxing lyrical about times past my daughter always says write a book Dad,being a lot brighter than me she has offered to help.by the way Gerry she knows you,

I Worked in Glasgow,not for Marsdens though, loved the place and the people,always lodged at a b.b, in PARTICK,near KELVIN HALL,,you being a bus driver bet you know it.the usual greeting from the locals was,"you f...... ENGLISH?" In a scots friendly way,
