Details of Grandkids are always welcome Col if only for vicarious reasons. I could quite happily take to living like a hermit but I do miss the little blighter and no amount of whatsafacezoom time makes up for it. I loved the purple shapes one...

It's chicken and egg Col. The flaws in the system and human selfishness can't be separated, they're mutually dependant, a symbiosis that needs to be recognised. It's an autonomy that self perpetuates and has done for centuries. You're right in that it is a problem but it won't be fixed by viewing and tackling them as separate issues. There will never be a Utopian society where people act purely for altruistic reasons and not self interest. I doubt we will ever truly reach Maslow's pinnacle without standing on someone's shoulders.

Correct, Copes on Parliament Street. Look at the Tap and Tumbler Wollaton St for the other one. The next is similar and also attached to a pub, but which one? I wonder where this is?

Boil the tripe squares in water for 15 minutes then drain. Add the onions and enough milk to cover and cook for two hours over low heat. Melt the butter and flour together and stir to create a thick paste then slowly whisk in the milk form the tripe to create a white sauce. Season well with salt and pepper. Add the tripe squares, reheat and serve. Only then do you chuck it in the bin! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Tripe legends: Tripe juice is good for a hangover.

Yes and yes... Two more:- One dead easy but do you know where the second is?

The clock without hands is on the old Redmayne and Todd building. One dead easy, one not quite so easy:-

Well done and the clock with no hands?

Lib Who?

Edit... oops Den only had one right These are a little trickier but still in the city limits...

I should of course have said NOT voting for... and you're right I find it increasingly difficult to make the effort to vote for any of the clowns we're stuck with at the moment As siddha hinted, we have a 'version' of democracy and it's really not very good, hardly fit for purpose.

OK two more one easy peasy one not quite so easy:

Ben I've always thought of you as one the voices of reason in this forum but voting for a particular party purely because your ancestors did is to say the least a bit weak mate...

1 right 1 wrong

You're spot on again RR Re; the girl in the doorway I hope she goes to the council, I'm told Nottingham CC now has enough accommodation for all itinerants. Clocks again, sorry they are so small.

When all the hype and hysteria has calmed down maybe we can take a look at what he has actually done to earn this amount of vitriol. He went for a ride to see his parents, big deal! Yes he broke the rules but it's hardly a hanging offence and there were hundreds doing the same and worse on the beaches and in parks over the weekend but not a line of criticism raised in the press. He told a stupid lie about his eyesight, why I have no idea and it's a measure of his arrogance that he though people would believe him. The kids however are a different matter and personal

The first is on the building next to what was the Odeon cinema Angel Row. Now occupied by a company called Cash Generators. Two easier ones:

Boom boom well done RR.

No Mary, its a retail shop

Far from countering your argument I agree with most of it however he did not originate the 'herd immunity' theory though he probably did raise it to Johnson as a possible course of action.. It seems to me (though I'm not qualified to judge), he is borderline Aspergers, he demonstrates little empathy or sympathy. What he says is in its purest sense logical, just not acceptable. His recent trip to Durham was hypocritical but at the end of the day it hardly warrants the hysteria in the press or the silly demand by Labour MP Steve Reed for an inquiry, are they really so short of ammuni

Correct... Two not so easy:

I right... I wrong..

Mary and her quiz set me thinking. Threatened to do this awhile back and never got around to it. The pictures are all clocks in and around Nottingham, you've all seen them - but where are they? Two easy ones to start...

Most of your post seems to be supposition and conjecture so I'm not going over it point by point. Suffice it to say the main plank of your criticism is the speed and timing of the UK Govt in responding. Looking at and comparing the UK reaction with our near neighbours shows the Govt were not particularly dilatory in announcing a lockdown. Choosing countries with a similar population size, NO nation went to lock down until after people had died from Covid. Spain did not lock down until 10 days after the 3rd person died. Italy and France both waited for 14 days after the 3rd d

Go on... look in the box... you know you want to...

We call it Bingo today but when I was little they called it housey housey...
