  1. In future Mick, start by drawing pictures, then a detailed explanation please
  2. So have I, over many years...perhaps even longer than yourself.... I have no difficulty with threads developing into something else, which is certainly the norm' with forums elsewhere. Suggest the problem here is that the percentage of 'Nottstalgia' thread openers has dwindled...almost to a trickle. Cheers Robt P. That happens too Rob, especially around this time of year, when folk spend more time in the garden, out at weekeneds etc etc..
  3. Rob, this is not unusual for a forums, the threads always seem to degenerate into something way off the origonal topics. Been around forums a while now and nothings dufferent here than elsewhere
  4. They are fairly common around these parts Mick, to be honest, I wasn't too impressed by them. Once the temperature drops below freezing, one has to provide heating. They only work as long as there is some heat in the outside air, and with our winters, nights would be pretty cold without extra heating from another source! One being advertised by our utility co-ops is ground source heat and cooling, cheap once installed and always warm in winter and cool in summer. BUT it does require supplimental heat and cooling. It relies on pipework buried a few feetin the ground and picks up heat from the

  6. I MUST be getting old now then He was always so full of energy on the stage!
  7. Rob, I'd presume most of the members of this site have very little to no experience of chat forums before this site. Thats why I posted the warning thread to educate them on the pitfalls of forums. We all had to start somewhere and learn what Trolls were the hard way. Cali told me that this board was her first forum, so at a guess, it could probably be said the rest are new to them? I've been around them a few years now, made loads of mistakes, hadn't a clue about Trolls or how to deal with them back then.
  8. There's only usually one chief on a forum Angi, that is the Admin. The Admin appoints moderators to watch over the board whilst he off working or doing "his thing" Their job is to make sure there is no impropriety going off while the Admin is away from the boards, ie swearing, trolling etc. Their powers are minimul!
  9. Well I ain't trading my black Walmart special cowby hat in for anyone............................. So there!!
  10. Now that would be a shock Rob!! I have done my best over the ten or more years I've been on the internet to trace old mates down with very little success.
  11. Yep, went to that school Rob. Started there in 1952..
  12. Dunno Rob, I left Nottingham in early 1975, I was at Clifton Estate at that time. I left the UK in 79, so I'm completely out of touch now...
  13. There was also a pub called the Magna Carta down the old Meadows Rob.. Deering Street??? Shippo's house??? Been a long time now..
  14. There used to be a Lady Bay shop at the bottom of Blue Bell Hill near Alfred St South, they closed it and renovated another place close by on Alfred Street South a few doors up from Blue Bell Hill Road. My Mum was the first manageress of that one when it opened way back around 1960. We lived on the premises, oposite Agars green grocery shop. Many years later I worked with old man Agar at Cotgrave Colliery.
  15. If you read back through the posts, I said almost from day one Flatcap was a windup merchant, a troll Mind you, I did think at one stage it was Den having a bit of fun, and being given Mod status helped a bit on that track...
  16. I have a mate who "Trolls" forums and does what FC has been doing here
  17. You didn't rope me in, I had you sized up and on a marble slab the first post you made !rotfl!
  18. He's done it to mine too Cali,but when I tried to do it to his I couldn't edit it..........drat!!! Just "quote" him Caz, and then change his post in the quote box!
  19. BTW Cali, I'm Chromie over there and my wife is Pixie.
  20. I like your style Mick !rotfl!
