I have a book about Nottinghamshire in which it states "Nottingham experienced a frightening earthquake in AD1110, the first to be recorded in England"

I heard on tv this morning (but heard before as well) - "That being said".

Totally agree with you Chulla, I always think that poems should rhyme. Rhyming takes more thought, creativity and time to write.

Just a reminder the paper £5 note ceases to be legal tender after May 5th so if you've got any hidden under your bed or, in a savings box (especially children's one's) then get them spent or banked by 5th May.

Hi Margie,,
No I'm not a rapper by any means. Glad you like it. I wrote it some years ago for a nurse I used to talk to everyday on the bus. Here's another about nurses I wrote..
ANGEL IN DISGUISE
Being a nurse you have virtue
Thinking of others instead of you
You certainly are a Special breed
Caring for others every need
Without the hint of a grumble
Should make others feel humble
Working long hours both night and day
For little reward in the form of pay
I hope everyone will recognise
YOU are an angel in disguise-

A NURSE'S LIFE
Nursing people back to health
May not give me untold wealth
But I love my job very much
'cos with reality I keep in touchMost patients they do appreciate
Their symptoms we try to alleviate
But there are some characters - believe me
Come on a trip around a ward and you'll seeYou will always find a Casanova
Who thinks every nurse is a pushover
So it's satisfying to see him cringe
When taking blood with a blunt syringe!Then we have Mr Know-It-All
Who's had every op, large and small
But the only theatre in which he's been
Has no operations - only a silver screenEvery ward has a male Chauvinist
Who against all women is prejudiced
He thinks a woman is his personal slave
But an enema will sort out this knaveThere's also one always shouting 'Nurse'
And under our breath we have to curse
We're sure our hands him will throttle
If he shouts once more for a bottleBut most patients hardly ever complain
Even though they suffer some pain
And to see them leave with a smile
Really makes nursing worthwhile-

There is a book titled "Battle Of The Flames (Nottinghamshire's fight for survival in WW11) by David Needham, published by Horizon Press. Included in it are details of the bombing, lots of photographs and a list of fatal casualties. I have had the book for a number of years.

I think you'll find he was born in 1946 and therefore I don't think he'd been at school past 1964/5

There's a programme on BBC4 tomorrow night (Monday April 3rd) at 9pm called "Roof Racks & Hatchbacks; The Family Car" about family cars from the Morris Minor to the Ford Cortina. I'm sure for many of us it will evoke memories of our younger years.

Many years ago "BBC English" was "the thing" but these days the words and phrases heard on the TV are very different.
