Clifton @ 167 I reckon the pic with the rail bridge was taken just outside of the Star of India, what do you say?

TBI @2761 if you can drag that roller out of the grass verge you've earned it! Robbie has really bothered me with this picture, where is it? the fences are nice, the fence on the right is a deer-proof one around a cedar plantation, the road seems new, clay topped, no tarmac, the water in the distance seems to say "reservoir" and I always think I know Leicestershire just by looking at the land. Not Belvoir in the distance but a farmhouse been there a few years and owned by a bloke with a bob or two. C'mon Robbie have you got any more picture clues?

Clif Ton @ 12 . Weird is the word, how come Severals is a CUL DE SAC ( notice, as in highway code ) and not lead to more? Is it near Baulk Lane not far from Bobs Rock on the way to The Roach? After passing Ewe Lamb Lane?

If I recall the name properly (and I do like it) there is a street in W Brigford called Little Bounds, leads to the tennis club, is this an old name or a clever bit of a joke (and breaking the regulations)? An old name - Good - breaking the regs - Better.

And Archie Andrews was the worst ever. Who was the one who packed his dummy in a case and it still wouldn't stop talking?

If the council really are not using STREET as a description of a place I for one am really annoyed, that word is ancient and indigenous to the English. And why did they think renaming Meadow Stile Lane as Lace Way was neccesary? Am I impressed? No. to Mr Chairman planner

S Barker, further to #9 the bricked up traces of some of those caves can be seen from Pemberton St, viewable in street view on Google Earth

S Barker @8. That picture you may know already is of the foot of old Short? or Long Stairs at the eastern end of Narrow Marsh under Malin Hill. The City is really missing out if we don't start capitilising on these old cave systems, some at that end of the town must have been used by the first Saxons. Who would waste time building when there was a decent cave to be had?

Arguments about the Royals are risky aren't they? Can divide families, perhaps the Royal family get heated when discussing the citizens. The Monarchy is perhaps a bit like inoculations, we would rather give it a miss but nice to have it on the paperwork when travelling, while we have Queenie we know no ordinary thug (like Putin) or no great talker (like W Bush) can get the chair.

90% of pop music was always about sex, we just didn't know it when we heard it, especially imported American/Black music. Did anyone else hear a radio prog by George Melly called Filthy Jazz? That was old stuff, what about Stop-don't do it? I hear it played often in broad public like fair grounds and GARDEN PARTIES. Difference is music like that was played in small spaces now it's spread far and wide by the "media" I do like that F Sinatra song though about it being a very good year for about six different girls..

This thread is really a St George Day joke, that little white bird isn't really laying those eggs!!!

Bilborough Shirley @ #33, if I couldn't have the black coffee would they let me have fair trade coffee? or rough trade coffee? And Margie, who the blinking heck ever saw a PINK sheep? Was the teacher involved Barbara Cartland?

There's a spider living in my kitchen, I talk to him a lot, takes no notice though. He even walks across the ceiling. There's nothing useful up there, still wont tell me what the buggery he's doing up there. There's a fabulous piece of rock lives near the front door, found him in Norfolk on the beach, I think he's from Norway so I can't get a lick of sense out of him either.

They are still there; using leftover dye from tie-dyeing to tattoo people.

See these tractors? I spent months as a teenager whacking old ones like these with a sledgehammer, the boss got em, broke em and sold the cast parts into Gloworm Boilers because it was such pure iron. He had a Field Marshal I nearly bought but he sold a wheel for spares so it meant probs sorting it, I lost interest then, if I had it now I would drive it to yes TESCO

I don't want your bloody oranges!!! Billy Liar to his girlfriend when sitting in the cemetary , you need to see the whole thirty seconds, that partnership cannot last.

Yes Ian , I know that line so well, been there, counted just like that, had that face on pedalling to work in the morning. Not just a film, a masterpiece of Nottingham life as lived by the half who didn't live like the other half lived.

Plenty of argument to be had here loppylugs, Humph, I think first told his mate " I told you never to play that again!" then later on said " Play it for me" "whats that Boss?" "you know, play it" I don't think Humph ever said ----- play it again Sam

Oh how borin# sorry meant disappointing, I thought you had made chocolate rolls. will you cover them in silver foil?

Hi Clifton @ 51. That picture of The Rose is special with the sky all around it, tried times to catch The Rose just right , I'll be down there to try again, BUT what will appear as a background next? The hangar didn't work, the little redbrick station was better but no glamour, what are the "investors" planning now?

Vinyl banners. Should be banned. Banners are graffiti, graffiti is litter. Can't abide banners. And filthy sticky tables in Nottingham pubs - including Wetherspoons where the customer service training includes how to tell a customer "I'll be back in a minute mate" (well I'll won't be mate). Phewie, sorry. and ugly cars, with ugly names --- Quashkie. Why not nice names like bikes? Raleigh, Carlton, Mercian, Aende, Norman Butler.

Benjamin #89 The Stanton Works drivers were allowed a whole day for a Birmingham trip, how did a stop at Breedon cafe delay anybody? And it's a nice road to drive now again, even safe for cyclists beyond Breedon.

I liked those blocks, I think many of the residents did too. As tower blocks go they were quite good looking. What does anyone know about the great white tower on Carlton Hill? Is it lived in? It's certainly a candidate for demolition on looks alone.

I think personal number plate buyers are pathetic but a few years ago I was impressed when I saw a Ford with a plate that started FEO2, now theres a bloke with sense of humour thought I, he paid for a plate with the chemical brev for rust. Then I found out how new reg plates were devised. DOH!

I am old, of Irish heritage and clarity of mind and have the benefit of pre comprehensive education with no college follow up, a long career in scrapyards and jobs that required little input which brought much thinking time so I can assure you all, 1 there is no such thing as time, 2 the gravity we experience is the opposite of what is really operating, 3 the Universe is truly infinitely large. This is difficult to comprehend even for the best scientific mind but anyone may be able to glimpse the truth. If you can believe in the infinitely large then you must accept that things can be in
