  1. There's a memory for you, schooners of Australian sherry from Yates Wine Lodge, god that was awful stuff
  2. Probably won't do the neighbours BP much good though and perhaps best not to do it in the middle of Walmart ,,,
  3. Like nonna I find it strange to take tablets for something that results show to be within normal parameters. I've herad of preventative measures but this seems a tablet too far... I have (mostly forget to take) the same tablets for a cholesterol reading that is slightly high. My doc said it's optional, taking them won't make that much difference and changing my diet would be far more effective.
  4. That's her.. thnx as I said I wonder where she is now..
  5. Could well be RR, I though her name was Alice but could be wrong...
  6. I remember being quite upset at school after reading a book about the first battle of the Somme. I calculated it there were over 160 killed or injured for every square yard of ground gained... I've not thought of that for sixty years... put quite a damper on my day that has...
  7. lol, not for long if she reads his post about breakfast!
  8. Seriously! Crikey now look what you've started BK they're coming out of the woodwork now! Well done Margie that's very good. So we have painters, musicians, inventors, miniaturists and restorers... I'm feeling a bit like a failure here, not a creative bone in my body. Anyone else got hidden talents?
  9. Hells teeth and I thought a thousand miles a week was pushing, they did more than that in a day - every day!
  10. It's good but it looks like it's drawn on a cloth not chalked on the floor. There was a lass named Alice who used to actually draw on the pavement in Nottingham near St Peters, she was also brilliant... wonder what became of her..
  11. That's nearly a thousand miles a week.!
  12. BK this forum is ostensibly about our memories of Nottingham but it would quickly pall if that was all that was allowed. It has, whether we like the term or not, morphed into a social media site, a localised version of Facebook if you will. Here we can laugh, tease, cry, commiserate and even teach each other something occasionally The spelling, grammar and syntax is not always perfect, the subjects not always interesting but conversely that’s what makes it interesting. Posters post what they like, the pity is some get all mardy arsed when they don’t get the reaction they seem to t
  13. I'm actually quite good at them, what would you like me to look at?
  14. The Skye Boat song? Clementine? Early one morning?, like that one one, Greensleeves and not a school song but loved it when my Mam sang 'My grandfathers clock' for me
  15. Crikey what app is that? I'd like to avoid it so my phone doesn't do the same.. We've spoken about Big Brother before and the way things are going now with AI, fake news and the rich and powerful controlling the 'net I fear for future generations.
  16. 'Within the woodland flowery gladed......' Me too Margie, hated it with a passion. Our music teacher, in hindsight a gentle old soul, was passionate about playing the recorder and traditional songs. Now had she gone with Bill Haley......
  17. Paul's little hen flew away from the farmyard, ran down the hillside and into the dale. Paul hurried after but down in the brambles, there sat a fox with a great bushy tail. Cluck! Cluck! Cluck! Cried the poor little creature. Cluck! Cluck! Cluck! But she cried in vain. Paul made a spring but could not save her. "Now I shall never dare go home again."
  18. You are probably not aware TBI that there is a large section of the members using the PM system. No-one is going to clarify that further, the PM system is just that - private. As PF has said it's over and done with, lets let sleeping dogs lie eh?
  19. Never been up in an aeroplane carni? wow... Try to remember that flying is very safe... crashing on the other hand.....
  20. One thing to note SG, it makes no difference what you go for the weeds will ALWAYS come back after a short period. I went for a mix of red and green Indian stone and herringbone brick setts to the front drive way with broken Welsh slate as a feature. Pro: When new it all looked brilliant Con: The broken slate taps leaves that blow about and looks a bit 'down and out' The brick setts need a jet wash regulalrly The stone colurs only show when wet, most times they look much the same. Weeds propogate every bleddy where! I'm looking at weedkiller at the momen
  21. I don't know why markets are view thus. Sneinton market was I supposed 'low end' but I absolutely loved it. Don't remember any genuine fake watches but I do remember pots, clothes, shoes, household goods galore and everything in between..................... Some traders didn't even have a stall, they just laid things down on the ground....... I'm not even askin £5 pahnds.......
