  1. going for my fortnightly trim today,been going to same Barbers for 30 years,its a social thing really,mostly full of my age group and like Nosttstalgia we all start talking about how things used to be,and taking the mick out of each other with some brilliant wit and banter,.Its more than a haircut its a tonic and always leave feeling uplifted with a smilee on my face.

    in short its one of lifes pleasures and good therapy. is it same for any of you or am i just sad?

  2. an old mate of mine used to keep a shop on sneinton dale,it was called PAPER BOY,in the 80s.the shop sold grocerys as well. I was in there one day and a chap came in and asked my mate,GOT ANY WAFERS, ? what do want wafers for/? I BOUGHT A BIG TUB OF ICE CREAM FROM ASDA,my mate sold big tubs of ice cream) and replied,WELL P..S OF BACK TO ASDA AND GET YA WAFERS. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: a great sneinton character.

  3. I think Summer wines funniest period was when the third character was Foggy...the scripts gradually went downhill afterwards even with the excellent Jean Alexanders Auntie Wainwright and the wonderful part played by Thora Hird.

    Who the heck thought Bert Kwouk would fit in with the other characters God only knows. It was certainly the right time to pack it in,before the canned laughter machine broke down.

    i think it got better,bert kwouk from the magical east HULL, :laugh: ,we all see things differently dont we,poohbear,

  4. All my favourite tv comedy is from times past,last of summer wine,fools and horses,porridge,dads army,are you being served,likely lads,etc, i just dont get present day humour. am i just a miserable old git,or dont they make funny any more,is it me or am i really too old, how do you feel/? are over 60s catered for?
