Cant believe it! Forest trying to get Pearce to "change is mind" it seems at interviews for the job that the candidates interview FOREST,

[Backside at Bulwell]

Just to finish my memories of the Oxford,Joe the landlord was a bit of a moaner and it really "irked him"that the blood room had been taken over by a group of pensioners that would sit in there with half a pint that lasted them all evening,whilst .playing Dominoes.So he installed fluorescent lighting and a Juke box.

All to no avail,the pensioners were mostly hard of hearing,and the spots on their Dominoes shone brilliantly in the fluorescent lighting. :biggrin:

Thats where the fighting & glassing took place !

Near enough catfan,they told me that after disputes were settled on the little waste ground(corner of Piccadilly) the Blood room was where they cleaned themselves up. HAPPY DAYS EH"

[Attenborough Nature Reserve]

We used to cycle there to go fishing in the 50s from Bestwood,before it wasnt a nature reserve,we just new it as Beeston gravel pits,i had lent my mate Barry my new disgorger (a small metal object used to retrieve the hook if the fish had swallowed it) it cost me 4 old pence,anyway Barry fell in while useing it,and i was on the bank shouting "throw the disgorger out" he never forgave me.

It was a pub near there where i 1st bought a girl a drink (Sandra Webster) i was 15 and she had a Babycham(with Cherry of course) cost me 1/6 still got the stick,with Jolly anglers on.romantic fool that i am.

[Backside at Bulwell]
