They just don't make songs (or singers) like this anymore...

Lazy day today.......but came across this...i thought what a lovely tribute to the lovely late Una........

Just Love Skegness in the morning.......... Don't tell me its not 'Skeggy'' Brilliant on full screen...........

Sorry i humbly apologise for thinking it was the Hemlock stone... It does so look like it.......you must run me thru next time we meet for my 'Crass'' mistake...

Little Quiz.......can you name the local landmark seen on here ? Once sat in its shade about 1966 and had a smoke and a Coke with a lovely girl from Long Eaton...

Splash a bit of ''Old Spice'' and off you go...Dance all day......

Thats certainly true cliff ton in my case...........I've lived and lodged all over our pleasant land....but never found anywhere else like it............probably because all my larger family and friends originate there...... It still holds surprises for me in the people i ''Bump into''....and their sense of humour is unique........even most of the old buildings are still there......which cause many lovely memories..of work and play....... Me and my favourite cousin are now the oldest in our bloodline........she still lives in Bulwell..........and over coffee

In Bulwell for a change today.....but what a morning..of 'Bump into's''............ 1. Chap that was my Babysitter from when i was 5 years old... 2. Store detective i worked with 20 years ago... 3. Brother of a bloke i used to go down Locarno with early 60s..Teenbeat tuesday nights...said he does'nt go nowadays lol'' Bought some ''Old Spice'' Original...very expensive...Girl on the check out said ...''her Grandad used to wear that''....told her ''no chance of taking you out then ?''............come back when you got some on..and we'll see...said she..laughing...........go

Agree Red what a boring Cup Final..........largely lost my love of football......but watching todays women's final was how football used to be.............no feigning injurys...no Histrionics of any kind...just good end to end football...not even any spitting Thank-you ladies...plus some great skill...you are rekindling my love of the once great game...........

Todays so called Music.....just not for me.....they all sound as if they crying in pain..........come back Cliff and Cilla........and they knew how to dress....... Better still Pearl and Teddy.......

Apart from your 'Good Result'' Mary.......what a nightmare day.... Pretty well sums up life in the wider world today.......travel no longer a pleasure...whether by public transport or Car......

I don't care what you say....you can't beat a bit of ''POMP'' even ''Circumstance''.......go for it 'Charles'..........

RIP Dennis..........Memorable song...even made the charts...loved all his characters............

Paid £200 for a yellow two bucket seat ford Capri.............wedged the girl friend in the passenger seat and set off for Skeggy....... Blew up just outside Lincoln................

Wife back today from her 4 day jaunt in Liverpool........first time she'd been and 'Loved it''..........i've worked a lot in Liverpool and must admit i love the place and its people....... Too many great artists to mention but i have to.......apart from the Fab 'Gerry and the Pacemakers'....and the 'Beatles' there was 'Billy Fury'' and Cilla Black'' plus many more...... Just something very special about the place...and its History...... Edit......Play on full screen for best result..........

I wondered if anyone would notice that Staverton Girl.........different world back then...........

Those were the days......Paul Jones terrific voice...hard to believe he's 80 now.......then again many of us on here aren't far behind...but we had the best music...knew how to dress...and had so many places to go........ But if you gotta go...Go now....... Or else you gotta stay all night........

Wife away for a few days visiting Liverpool......so ive been doing the Grocery shopping....and have been staggered by the prices of everyday things.......small tin Peas 60p.....Domestos..£1....carrier bag 60p...small steak pie £1.....i could go on....just to prove we are being ripped off Ambrosia Rice Pudding 80p...where as an own brand was 20p.... Then went to look at garden Plants......and most of these had doubled since last year....... Meanwhile Shell and BP are announcing record profits as we pay a fortune for Petrol......the world has gone mad...... No wo

Apart from very occasionally i now have no sense of smell......you dont realise how much you miss something until its gone..........funny thing happened regarding this the other day as i was walking in Bulwell Main street......a chap was walking in front of me and ''Chuffing'' hard on a 'Cig'...the breeze was blowing into my face....and i could really smell it.........smelt really good...and i found myself trying to keep up with him......even followed him down a street i wasn't intending to visit......lol........

Still miss a smoke even after 4 years....strange thing is......i overcome my craving by watching other people still enjoying it.........whether in old films on the Telly or in the streets of Bulwell...

Kinoulton.....such a lovely 'Swear Word''..........

Yes i know that BK............I was just saying the LC was on the same side going south..........

We seem to have been about some of the same places in the 60s Ian.......bet we crossed pathed a few times............ Also you BK......I used the 'Little Chef'' on the south side in the 80s...............

Six Hills or Durham Ox along with the A46 brings back memories of about early 60s........one night in particular after a night out with Judith from Anstey....missed the last train back to Nottingham...so decided to try and hitch a lift on the A46 just outside Leicester about midnight....... Hadn't gone far when a Police car pulled up and they asked where we were going.........told them Nottingham.........''Hop in we'll take you to the Notts border'''......brilliant Coppers in those days........

My turn for hospital today.......QM 11.30.......i have certain tubes in my throat changed every so often...to enable my speaking....got used to it now so i can't say it bothers me.....and the Lady Speech therapist's are wonderful and always up for some nice banter........i almost enjoy it....
