  1. I remember them but I don't think they ever had their own series even though they appeared on a huge number of TV variety shows
  2. Were they the harmonica guys?
  3. They keep telling me I can't take it with me. That was of course before travellers cheques and credit cards!
  4. I'm sure we all wish you well Col, just don't let your natural tendency to worry get top side of you..
  5. Yup we had the sally army band every Sunday morning right outside the door. I don't know about a Blue plaque but his house has a Red one and there various plaques throughout the world.
  6. Notintone Place and Jubilee Street Sneinton...
  7. Where there's a will there's usually a relative holding their hand out..
  8. I questioned that some time ago jonab and was assured they did indeed go that far out. Seems they were called Ripley Rattlers.
  9. I may be wrong but it looks like the one the right has a display of flags and Marsdens appears to have bunting on the shop front so I'm assuming some sort of celebration. Armistice Day, King George jubilee?
  10. Whatever happened to proper butchers shops!
  11. Just Google 'Waterpik' BK there are a few variations you can take your pick.. or go here..: https://www.currentbody.com/products/waterpik-cordless-advanced-water-flosser?
  12. It's quite a beast and comes with attachments for cleaning your tongue, a cone shaped gizmo for cleaning up your nose, (not gonna happen!) fine jet for braces. and other bits and pieces. I expected it to have a charger that plugged into the shaver socket but it has a USB and a diagram showing it being charged by connecting to a laptop or phone! Damn clever these Chinese
  13. Went to London and back on Saturday for a dental check up. "You are not cleaning properly, I see lots of plaque" she said, so today I've bought a dental irrigator. OK, so far so good, filled it with warm water after charging it up and gave it a go. It's how I imagine being shot in the gob would be! Herself was in hysterics at my antics trying to control the damn thing - until I took it out of my mouth and shot her and number one grandson in the face. The bathroom needed a mop and I've decided it should be used in the shower only, there's too much collateral damage otherwise.
  14. It's not about 'posh' BK. In my little collection is a mechanical Timex, a non descipt quartz that came free with a carton of cigarettes, my grandads retirement watch among others...
  15. Margie those are words that have been applied to me many times... but I just smile and.... oooo shiny.....
  16. If I have a fetish it's for watches, there are six sitting under my monitor all showing as near as possible the same time - to the second. I can't walk past a jewellers without, oooo shiny...
  17. Simply move the gnomon... simples.
  18. I can't see your pics Compo! Where are all those lovely random character strings? All I see are pictures of some poor souls wandering round a cliff top and looking out to sea... very strange...
  19. Heh, usually saying that is tempting fate....
  20. Oooo scarey stuff, one hour and still there....
  21. You mean I've got to take this lot out of the boot again!? Ah well I suppose I can wait a bit longer... get well soon trogg
  22. My dad worked there from the days of his apprenticeship until the day he simply walked out thirty years later. No amount of asking why or the efforts of Lee & Hunt would get him to give any reason...
