Love me Lycra Den...........i'm not middle aged....I'M OLD..........

Socks and Sandals ...awful........but better than showing the feet....lol....... Must admit ''Love my Lycra;;.......but only about the house or on me bike........

If that is aimed at me Red.........you are quite correct.....forgot about 'Pet Hates''............carry on Sir.........

My Pet hates are numerous...such as Bare feet....(mens) Flip flops....(on men) 3/4 Length shorts ( on men) T shirts with a jacket and no shirt..(on men) Men who fasten the top button of a shirt...when not wearing a Tie....... I could go on.......but ill leave that for now.........

Things you see too much of clothes or body parts....

Think they were all'' Hand me downs''' Marg'' from older brothers.........lots of really poor kids about in the 50s...........

Think the last few posts should be in the ''Nicknames'' thread...we got one ? Used to feel sorry for some kids at school....with 'Nicknames ' like... Ginger nut... Fatty.... Goggles... Had one lad in my year with no 'Toes'' and believe it or not was a great footballer.......funny thing was his Boots and Shoes all curled up where his toes should have been...and he had the Nickname ''Curly''............

Clarke's were also ''Nobby's''...........dont know why ? Oh Yea.........Taylors were all ''Spuds''

LOL............real name...''NOBS''.........well it was in Bulwell anyway....

Someone got lost somewhere along the line.......... Snottingham ??? I was talking about ''Dolly Blues''

Anyone remember their real name in Nottingham ?

G7 leaders.......unbelievable bunch of Tossers.........bet not wearing a Tie scared the crap out of Putin..........

All the best Col.............

Keep going Dave......I'm sure Cliff Ton wasn't having a go......... You are a lovely refreshing ''Newbie''........need more like you......

Thoughts are with you Lizzie x

Chinese Chippy circa 1990........True story witnessed by my ten year old daughter...one school lunch time... Cheeky school kid...............gorr any fish bits Mrs ?......(said pulling his eyes into a squint) Chinese Lady reply's...........(pushing her eyes 'Wide Open'').........NO F... Off

David...up to finishing work in 2018.......i mixed with many ''Philipinoes (sp)''........knowing a little bit of History thought they would have spoken some 'Spanish' but found only the older ones did...........

Since work ended 4 years ago ive struggled for 'Hobbies and interests''...........don't even read as much as i once did...I have in the region of 300 books....mostly Autobiographies and sporting themed.............along with many of the History of Nottingham and anything ''Spanish''........... Anyway being bored the other day decided to move them all in their cases into the 'Hallway''........what a job...i do enjoy re planning the furniture etc in the Bungalow...even though its quite small.......i was best part of 3 hours getting everything cleaned and re-sited........going throug

Apart from the news programmes of which ''Aljazeera'' is my favourite........there's not a lot of Programmes i like.........But i am addicted to ''Rumpole of the Bailey'' now...(talking pictures Wednesday nights 8pm)........can't recall watching it back in the 70s.........Leo Mckern is brilliant in it...... Lots of old famous faces are regulars...and i enjoy looking them up on Wiki....sadly most now no longer with us...........including the nearly Bulwell lad 'Peter Bowles.......... Rumpoles Shakespearian monologues are fabulous and very funny.........
