  1. Thankyou Jill......just got back.....just had a consultation.......which put my mind at ease.....chose to have a Colonoscopy next week.......thought i was having it today.........the Consultant was brilliant and certainly made me feel confident about the procedure.......the crazy thing was he asked me if i had the treatment before?...i honestly couldn't remember........Donna was with me luckily and told him i had TWICE.......The nurse and the Consultant both had a great sense of humour and we laughed a lot.......but i went too far and got refused a DANCE.....:biggrin:

  3. 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''.......to me when i was about 15 at her company's do at the ''Coop Elizabethan rooms''

  4. 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''

  5. 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 somewhat but persevered and finally managed to eat most of it....

              Oh and just to round my magic morning off...my teeth fell-out half way thru Breakfast.......LOL
