Good luck on Monday Col with your knee op...........i'm at Kings Mill tomorrow for more tests (in an unpleasant area) dreading it....... Have had another problem for about 6 months Chronic pain especially in both hands when i wake every morning.......however ive come across a medicine (Tablet) never heard of before called ''Zapain'.....within minutes of taking it the pain disapears......

The 'Black Bottom'' i would doubt ever made it to Nottingham.........it began like lots of music and dance over in the states with ''African/Americans'' in the 20s...... However another Dance that certainly made it to Nottingham from the states was the ''Jitterbug''......Remember me Mam and all her sisters giving it some in the late 40s and early 50s......The Whites in America were doing something called the ''Lindy-hop''......the Africans laughed at this and said They look as if they've got the ''Jitters'' with a bug........... Remember Mam saying '''come on lets do the ''Jitterbug'

Time to give it some ''Black Bottom'''.............love the ladies fashion...best ever....... Full screen a ''must''

My favourite piece of 'Jazz'........played it before.....but worth another hearing..........Dave Brubeck...''Take Five''

Just found this thread...love a bit of Jazz...although i'm no 'Aficenado' have always enjoyed it when i'm in the mood.......not Jazz clubs but thought i'd stick any Jazz favourites on this thread....... Used to enjoy the ''Bell'' sunday lunch-times plus a Pub one evening a week...on Toton Lane Stapleford...forgot its name.... I'm told even the 'Ruskies' enjoy ''Midnight in Moscow''

Now den 'Geezers'....lets git down the ''Streffham'' Locarno...and do the 'palais glide'.........not to mention the 'Lambuf walk''..............

This one really pulled at my heart Strings.. see how many faces you can recognise

Believe it or not Josef Locke appeared at the Railway club in Bulwell..under a different name when he was having troubles with the Tax -man sometime in the 60s

David Whitfield Anthony Newley....Dennis Lotus....Edmund Hockridge... Ok Edmund was i think Canadian......but lived near him in Peterborough..little name dropper that i am..... My favourite of the above was Anthony Newley.......

Thats the chap..........thanks Brew....

Just read a Quote LizzieM....... As we get older our capacity for enjoyment shrinks...... But not our appetite for it........... Very true i believe.... Read the quote 5 minutes ago....and can't remember who by.....

Very talented was Freddie.......very funny with a great voice.........such a sad ending...........

Tried em all...

They tried but to no avail mate///

Yes OZ..............cant put it right....

Not really a Dance.......more of a ''Strutt''........but i love this..... GO GIRLS !!!

Back to 1974 and a bit of Nottingham ...........brilliant group and should have had more Hits......

Can't beat a bit of SCHADENFREUDE...Brew........

Good job i weren't on a date...............obviously told the wife when i got home.....she's still laughing.......bless her....

If i don't laugh i'll cry..............my morning in Bulwell was a total disaster....not been for over a week so was looking forward to it........ Anyway whilst driving there my 'Speaking Valve'' fell out...Turned out i'd put the wrong one in......so now i'm Voiceless...but eh-ho i'll get by with a few bits of sign language....... I was really hungry so ordered a big breakfast in Jeromes'' using sign language in a fashion......was really enjoying it when my ''Essential Tremor kicked in...causing me problems using the fork..splashed the food around somew

lllLOVED the way they dressed back then bought all the same gear...to Strutt in'' Cuban heals..Collarless jacket slim Jim...Oh how times have changed...

My first beatles record purchase........still got it.........

So sad Rog.......all towns and Cities are going the same way........our World is becoming unrecogniseable from the one we knew and grew up with......and its not for the better.........

Only just seen this video...........Found it fascinating...and the reasons for the building of Aspley estate and Old Bestwood estate i find heart rending............people in ST Anns and such areas were living in what we today would call squalor.....and these new built Council Houses were a blessing from above when the people started moving in in the 1930s..... Many people today knock our Council estates but never stop to think of their origins.....and the better lives it gave so many people...........
