Lest we forget how great England is................

IF everyone used their favourite topic as much as the them that use the Politics thread the site would be thriving.....im no fan of the politics or a few other threads.....but for them that do use them...keep going...makes the world go round.....

Thanks for all that Col..........Sloopy girl...Magic...........

Something Magic about an English country garden.........after our long cold winter its so welcoming........either sat alone and watch the sun going down... Or with a loved one when the summer sun is rising and all is quiet....as we drink our morning coffee...and talk about the day ahead......feel the coming hours.......and face it with a smile............

Sounds like my better half Loppy............she's a very bright lady...but she never manages to see obvious everyday things..................i can completely change the garden or a room in the bungalow.......and after a couple of days i have to point out the changes..... At one of our old houses i planted a 12 foot tree........about 4 foot from the front door.....took her about a week to notice........bless her......

Now im alone again (at least for a few days).............keeping busy.....eating out.........i'm a good boy really i'm doing the household chores which i do anyway......today so far ive had breakfast in Bulwell.early...then came home and concentrated on my 110 Potted plants..........moved every one of them into different parts of the garden...and even though i say so myself it looks brilliant........a different garden even...........i really enjoy doing this...i'm the same indoors .....love rearranging the furniture...not that difficult being in a smallish bungalow.......Donna lets me get on w

I love this from Karolina........watchout for my Granddaughter.....another lookalike ..........

Happy 60s.....Dance...Dance.... Dance Duck? Maybe later You might be missing out I'LL take my chances......

So many songs/records back in the 60s were just pleasant to listen to... Happy people playing nice music and dancing with a smile.......we were so relaxed ..........easy to chat to and always ready for a dance........a refusal didnt matter you just moved on...you knew you would be lucky before the night was over.... edit..........full screen a must....

Mam and Dad used to take me to the Pictures on a regular basis..when i was growing up......and this was one the first films i saw......(at the Mechanics) about 1954.........fell in love with Audrey....

Think the word ''Legend'' is very over-used........but not in the case of Gerry... To me he is a true sound of Liverpool......... I believe this song by them made number one in the states.......sadly i think all the original 'Pacemakers'..have all left us now along with 'Gerry''.......but in my mind they are all still ''Ferrying'' across the Mersey....... Edit full screen excellent...

Great consistent bowler for a long time........sad that OZ................

Thank you Brew.....

My son just text me....ref Willie Limond.........a fine Scottish Boxer..who 's just passed away aged only 45........my son lost on points to him back in 2008 in Paisley........I travelled up there to see him...good fight......very proud of my son who took him the distance........met him after the fight........very nice chap...RIP Willie,,,..

Yes saw that Jill...........its ok its only Willamena from Portugal.......lovely lass.............

You right Jill.........tipping it down again......anyway Donna's took the car anyway........she's gone shopping for something new to wear on her up-coming holiday in Turkey.............alright for some init.............she's going to that place where the cable car accident was last week........dont think she'll be going on it......... Last time she went on one was the one in Matlock and it ''Frit'' her to death.......... Seriously she deserves the holiday.....not been for 6 years since my OP....and she needs a break from me...lol.........

Stopped here too Trogg..........might go to Bulwell and 'Ponce '' about in me new Jacket.........

Can't believe Carly is now 80 years old...........did the rounds with a few boy-friends in her time........but never fully admitted who this song was really about.......nice voice and seems a lovely Lady........

HUH anybody would think i was Vain Kev..!!!............where's that Mirror..lol

Thats sad about Worksop Rog...........used to enjoy the place many Moons ago........they had quite a large Savemore supermarket which i helped set up mid to late 60s.it was on the main street near a river if i remember correctly) ....lovely lass from 'Wombwell' (sp ) worked there ...her being my main memory of the place..... I had breakfast in Bulwell this morning......Bulwell market not what it was but reasonably busy......oddly apart from the staff in all the retail places didnt see any old friends.....seems by the look of half the people shopping today...many immigrant

Enjoy 'Dire Straits''.........hope there's a few more to come....

Yes OZ...........He used to live in Netherfield.......

Old Deano could fit in anywhere........even with the 'Smart Dressed Pips '' Mixed with the great voice of Gladys...and the song ''Midnight Train to Georgia''........don't make em like that anymore do they.......

Here's another.........and why not............

Love the old 'Cowboy' associated songs.......and there was none better than ''Marty''......known as the 'Dude' on account of his style of dress.....sadly left us in his 50s........
