  3. Another great artist Dave, got his Chronicle LP, excellent.
  4. #37 One of my favourite records, still got a copy somewhere. The first time I heard it I am sure I was down the Palais.

  6. #67 That's amazing Lizzie, I use to collect car reg numbers. I thought I was the only person that did that as all my mates collected railway engine numbers.
  7. TBI, absolutely, what ever that means!
  8. #55 Benjamin, With that sort of memory you better come and join our pub quiz team. But first you will need to pass the test on #48.
  9. I have but I can't remember where I put them.......I failed all the tests!

  12. #45 and #46 Sarcasm is lowest form of wit. I take it you both don't like cricket? By the way Benjamin if you keep your bananas in the fridge they will last longer.
  13. Cricket Fans did you know? August 21, 22 and 23rd in 1856 ......a cricket match was played at Newark between eleven of All England and eleven of Nottinghamshire. The representatives of All England scored 84 and 84 and the home team 82 and 79, thus losing by 7 runs.

    Two great buildings, as a mod I bought all my scooter chrome from Warton's and years later whilst working for Shipstone's I drank in the Scotholme every single lunch time, Monday to Friday. Lovely memories and some good times.
  17. Not so good with pets either Carni, After hedge cutting you have to be very careful and make sure all the clippings are collected. We have had to take our dog a couple of times to the vets to have thorns removed. Vets are very expensive,
  18. I'm with Ian on this one, we have hawthorn hedges on all four sides of our property.
  19. I think both Skills and the Electricity Station were opposite each other on Hanley Street.
  20. Happy Birthday Benjamin and lots more of them....
  21. You don't look 70 Benjamin, but I bet you did once!
  22. Same here Dave, full speed ahead and no problems
  23. Kendaldrac, Lovely photographs, very peaceful.
  24. Also, very slow loading this evening. Might as well go out for a pint but it's too cold to venture out.
