So red that’s right wot I said about the gallery of the roughs it’s still there then? When I worked in the Radford complex I believe those pictures were displayed in the personnel block. Happy daz hey!! Bip.

I believe that’s true. While I worked in the Horizon factory I happen one day to come across a corridor that had pictures on both walls that lead to somewhere I forget now. Anyroadup the name of this corridor is the Roughs gallery. To qualify to have ones picture hung on those walls was to have served the company man and boy for over twenty-five years. I believe if my memory serves me still my dads portrait is there amongst the brave and fallen. The practice of being hung with the brave and fallen has I believe been stopped hence you won’t see my ugly mug amongst them. The best person to

Remind me not to go to Tenerife.....I remember my very first time I went to Spain for a holiday it would be 1968 the beer was unbeleiveabley cheap something like a few pence a bottle compared to here. Those were the days before the ring pull cans and jet flight.... As I have said in my blog I paid 3 squid a pint in a one pub village in Snowdonia, I would have normally walked out after the first but where was there to go apart from going back to me van for a hot cuppa tea... Bip.

I beleive the Shaftesbury Club sell GK rubbish in the guise of Kimberly Dark and Speckled Hen also the Harrington arms just up road from me is a GK place I beleive, they too sell Abbots crap and GKs IPA with other nonsuch brands. I drank the bitter in the Shaftesbury for quite a while until I couldn't stomach it any more so changed to Guinness maybe as you say firbeck the directors had p*ssed in it.. I avoid GK at all costs now. I like a whiskey too but it drys my throat after several glasses. Bip.

Befor and after shots........... Bip.

I shall definitely look out for the early fly by but the later one I will be in the club by then. Pity I have to go out to enjoy myself I would have loved to have stayed in to watch the second fly by especially if I had to hang out me bungalow window freezing me tabs off..lol Bip.

Without going back to the beginning where is one going? Bip.

here's one of it before the bull dozers moved in Bip.

I'm sure I read somewhere or was told it on one of those science programs that it's impossible to travel at or beyond the speed of light. if one wants speed buy a Diesel 2 litre Picasso...that's my time machine. The only thing I've seen in the night sky which at the time couldn't figure out was those chinese lanterns.... Bip.

If only I had a mum living to buy a present for. Bip.

I could do that for you but may I ask why? Bip.

Hello sailor from one who was born too in St Ann's but in the late 40s. Bip.

Whats all the fuss about I've been drinking Guinness for the last 6 months and i haven't turned green yet or do I speak with and Irish acscent... Bip.

Yet another topic hijacked …? Ok I will do my best to ease the thread back on course; hopefully it won’t be too much of a pain for some members to stick to the narrative. The only activity in my garden at the moment is the two wood pigeons that have taken up residence in my neighbour’s forty-foot conifer tree. Apart from them flying from their hide out deep within said tree to my new aerial there’s nothing much new happening. I did have a bird box that was hung from a rusty nail attached to the side of my leaning backwards shed but as you know I have taken said shed down, it’s now a flat p

Here's a rare event, the Wheatsheaf on Tamworth road had a sign on it today saying that it's been bought and will soon be re-opening under new management....... Bip.

One more pint and she will be on a par with me but then again on a good night I have been known to have 6. I beleive any date in april will be ok with me but before I commit myself I will have to look on last years callender. Bip.

Whatever the date in April I bet I can make it……………….. Mrs Frank drinking pints of Guinness!!!!!! OMG. Bip.

How sad it is when one loses a love one no matter if they are human or not your report Firbeck brought a tear to my eye and I hope you do what Fynger suggests, he’s spot on with that idea I shall do something like that when my Diezel is called to his maker. Bip.

I would imagine living in a caravan one would have to be very careful where one stubs ones fag end out!! Bip.

Can someone enlighten me please to this practice in long Eaton and no doubt other city’s and towns up and down the country? Personally this practise of stubbing out ones cigarette butt on top of a rubbish bin makes no sense to me after all where does those stubs eventually end up? Bip.

EDIT

welcome Pat Bip.

haven't we been down this road be 4 ? regarding Russian women at least they pull the punters in, just look at the viewing figures. Bip.

Taking a closer look at this picture I have deduced I am actually in the picture. I'm the lad with the short trouses on wearing the skool cap seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee me? Bip.
