re Mansfield Woodhouse, Oh thanks. I think some distant cousin of my Mum lived up there, nobody talked about him ……. every family has one o’ them!
Paul lived there for 3 years in the late fifties….

Beat you to it BK

Mansfield Woodhouse

Talking about the Mansfield area, what about Bliduth and Woodus?

Deteriorate is often pronounced as deteriate.

@LizzieM I will try to remember to ask her about him. I remember Sue bringing him into the top playground one day when he was about 2 ! He was wearing a little quilted type snow suit: (why should I remember that I wonder)

@philmayfield do you mean that Ant lived on Greys Road when he was an adult? He lived on Fisher Avenue when we were ‘going out’. Btw, I mentioned your name to Sue P last time I saw her and she said she remembered you! We are seeing her again on the day before the meet up.
@MRS B Happy Birthday. Sorry I’m a bit late x

Yes; I remember Peter Wright from Primary school, also his brother Anthony (I ‘went out’ with Ant when I was 15 and he was a year younger!)

@trogg Sorry you’ve had an achy night but, as they say, ‘yer brung it on yersen’

As we get older, we just have to learn to pace ourselves each day. I’ve written out a list of jobs I need/want to do in the near future and tick them off when they’re done ….. very satisfying. These jobs are extra to the usual housework type jobs btw and I’ve even cut down on these!! I fold the dry washing very carefully to avoid ironing, although a few things do still need it.
My job today was washing a box of toy cars from the Toddler Group. I’ve done 5 boxes of other toys over the last week but still got lots more to do before they all return after half term.
I quite like it as it gives me the opportunity to chuck broken ones and make sure everything is in its right box ( when the mums and kids tidy up
after the group, things are just dropped into The nearest box !)

I’d better change my style!
Don’t want any nosybots looking at what I write but of course I can’t stop them!As I said before - it’s scary …..
-
The one I was shown is different.
I think it was chat.openai.com
or something like that
There is also another one called Jasper, which annoyingly now keeps popping up on my Facebook newsfeed!

I suppose the bots are collecting information for the AI companies to use? Someone I know has registered with one of the AI sites and he showed me what it could do. Firstly he asked it to produce a short sermon on love and redemption. It took only a few seconds to do this and, in my opinion, it was really good. I then asked it to create a poem on seaside holidays in the 1950s. This took a little longer - about 15 seconds - presumably because it had to be a rhyming poem. It was excellent!!
I haven’t registered on the site because even though it’s very clever stuff, it worries me……
I expect schoolkids will try make good use of it to write their essays though!
Apparently you can ask it to write in the style of a 10 year old for example.
It doesn’t use straight ‘copy and paste’ btw but amalgamates all the information it has accumulated to create something completely new.
Scary ….

That’s very scary, Lizzie, Pleased he’s OK XX

Col, are you still using a walking stick.

CT Very interesting post. I love how we use language and also how the meaning of words has changed over the years

My cousin lived at Retford and used to have a pig farm many years ago on Strawberry Road. I’ve mentioned before …. He had a huge traction engine, which I believe his son now has.

Aah, Ben, so pleased you’ve discovered the photo. You’re nearly making me cry, too.
My dad was in the Home Guard (but not Bulwell !!). He was based near Gainsborough.-

I agree - the article was very difficult to read because of the missing words on the right hand side.

What a horrible experience for your daughter, Phil. It must have been unnerving for her being on that deserted floor of the car park. Good thing that mum and dad were able to come to her rescue!

Col, your daughter’s design looks very pretty and I like the colour, but I fear it would need ironing.
However, some people I know actually like doing ironing! You must be very proud of her success-

Brian, just keep on posting. Was your wife a Nottingham girl? Where did you meet her and how long were you married?
-
Sorry for the loss of your wife, Brian. It must be very difficult losing a partner. I hope you’ll find what you’re looking for either on here or elsewhere .

@Beekay Was your son born with a dislocated hip? At Harlow Wood we used to do those broomstick plasters.
@philmayfield I’ve never had to help push the number 25 up Breckhill but one snowy icy day we schoolkids had to leave the bus and walk to the top of Westdale Lane to catch another ‘25’ to get to school.
