No prize Phil........and i didnt know that....... But there's another connection.......

Elton at his best,,,with this lovely song...for two special Ladies...... Who can be the 1st to tell me what 'Elton John's'' special connection was with Nottingham ?..

Is this how you remember him @margieh sorry @DJ360.......lol Just read up a bit on him........always suffered from 'Stage Fright''.........and sadly passed on at only 38.......

Michael Holiday ''Eat ya heart out''.... Think 1963.....4/- per hour..........

No Col can't name the dickie bow Michael Holiday was wearing........ought to really wore one the same when i worked behind Bars...............

Breakfast in Bulwell again where i bumped into my lovely cousin (same age as me. but looks 20 years younger)...introduced her to some acquaintances on the next table as my Ex Wife......made her laugh anyway...growing up and thru life she has been the nearest thing to a sister ive ever had...

Ah this takes me back......remember Dad singing this while Mam and her sisters had a Dance.......

Believe it or not when Bestwood estate was built in mostly the late 30s every front garden was planted with a blossom tree.....and by the time i was growing up they had matured and in the Spring it was a wonderful site just to walk down the street,,,,,,,

One of my son's also loved it in Rwanda Lizzie when he was there a couple of years ago.........and he's really looking forward to going back....

I Fully understand your worries @LizzieM2 of my Son's have been traveling some of the worlds worst trouble spots for a few years now.....i know they don't tell me everything and mainly stick to the humourist things......funny you mention Rwanda Lizzie both my lads are due out there in a few weeks...where ever they go i brush up my knowledge on the country and its current Political situation.....not always a wise thing to do.........

SO Malc..1 pair of shoes.....for walking...cycling...Gardening...Dancing...shopping...Holidays....and all other of lives tasks ?

Had a terrific morning with one of my sons over Breakfast in Bulwell....Not seen him for 4 months.....he's been working all over East Africa.......he's been filling me in on his experiences from Somalia to Madagascar...he's now home for a few weeks..at least i'll have a a bit of time now not to worry about him... The trouble with having Sons who are hell bent on experiencing the World..is they don't realise how much i worry......although i love to hear their stories when they return........

The one and only Billy Fury......Passed on at only 42...sad loss to all us nearly 80 year olds today...... Great memories of some 60s Party's....and old Pals...who all tried to look like Billy......not many made it........still know all the words to most of his songs.......... Locarno mens room......combed our hair like his..... 6 Pence for a shine on our 'Winkles'' Then hit the undulating Dance floor......looking for a lucky Girl...... We thought we were great....lol

Have you noticed a 'Subtle' change in mens suits?.....you have to zoom in a bit...what may look like a blue or black even a dark grey....now in most cases there is a faint pattern.....not for me.....nor is White Trainers with a dark suit.....

I can only imagine that kicking this around the damage it also did to my feet........to say nowt about the damage heading this ball did to your brain..........

Todays PUFFY THINGS LOOK LIKE CARPET SLIPPERS

MY First football boots from about 1950 looked like this no wonder my feet are as they are

My feet are not the prettiest in the mostly because of my 'Winkle Picker'' days and the old fashioned football boots.....but i do look after them plus i see a ''Podiatrist'' on a regular basis....... I never show my feet...dont go barefoot even at home........certainly never wear 'Flip-Flops'' or sandals......Dad also never showed his feet,which were fairly ok...

Your right Col.......i do have a problem with men's feet...most men neglect them then have the nerve to show them off by wearing ''Flip-Flops and ''Sandals''............i love baby's feet and most Ladies are ok.........

Lol......I really do dress like that when i'm in Spain except with the Tie..........not all the time...never in the evenings especially in Restaurants.......or when at dance venue's.....one of the many things i enjoy about the Spanish they never dress scruffy.......hardly ever wear shorts .....and most wear a suit even in hot weather especially the older ones....where i go anyway.......

I Find this Excellent OZ...........No feet and very smart......

Sad thing is Cliff ton....its men in their 60s and 70s that are the worst for dressing in shorts and T shirts even sandals and flip flops..........

Very interesting ..............must have a good 'Lurch' now......

Can't believe how low Mens dress sense has become......ok no Tie..but 'T' shirt instead of shirt when wearing a suit.......even dirty 'T' shirt with shorts plus wearing '' flip flops'' or sandals'' showing their hideous feet.all this being normal when just out and about.....and much more.....what do yo think?

Its absolutely brilliant......you will see how many really nice places there are in Bulwell.....many people have completely the wrong impression of the place...
