So long as they are Fiat, Ferrari or Rome I'm Ok with that nonna..

Come to the next meet up Mary, I can commiserate and maybe give you a quick rub down with a damp copy of the Radio Times..

I never realised football support was so parochial. Why does it matter whether they are local or not? There are many who have never been to the UK who claim to be Man U, Arsenal. Liverpool etc. supporters. What a sad state of affairs when you won't sit next to someone just 'cos he aint frum rahnd ere'.

I've heard you lot talk about Talking Pictures so when I finally got hold of the remote I turned to it. Jeeez it was bad. Leo McKern in some sort of melodrama, (Time without Pity) black and white, abysmal script and I don't think I've ever seen such bad acting. I shan't bother again, somethings are best left in the past.

We made one with only two ingredients, Plantfit could probably guess what they were. The bang and the forty gallons of used engine oil that launched 20 feet in the air persuaded us that doing it again was a seriously bad idea.

Daft things... hmmm where do I start.. One incident at Clifton Grove involved some daft bugger letting me have a go in his canoe. Back then they were canvas over a wooden frame which didn't do well when I came back to the bank and ran it onto a semi submerged barbed wire post. I scrambled out OK and managed to drag the canoe out but the paddle and wooden seat were now making an escape bid for the coast. I charged along the bank took a running dive and managed to grab them, all good except during the dive I caught an anglers keep net and it was tangled round my foot, my wet clothes were dragg

Nah, they are referred to as Sneintonians or Cliftonites………

The 'Hoi Polloi' Simply means 'the many' or 'the people' depending on context.. Don't know what you thought it meant...

Not sure I follow you HSR. Some have been members for YEARS and never posted, so it's not just recent joiners. Perhaps they just like to read and not post which is fine, there is no way to tell if they are intimidated or bored. Perhaps they are purists and only want to read Nottingham related topics and that too is OK. Most join, as you say, for the Nottingham connection, I know I did but as you become more involved you take an interest in the other topics. Some you like and join in, some leave you cold and you never bother with. It's been said that this forum has evolved over time and is

I attended a meeting recently held in a supermarkets 'community' room, a room provided free for local people. Along one of the shelves is a row of lever arch binders, all full, one for each month and labelled 'Monthly Shrinkage'. The file includes spoilage and damages but I'm told the majority was from shoplifting. The total for the year must be huge.

The stuff my dad ate smelt so bad it made me gag so I never actually tasted it. He used to say he liked a cheese that could bite you back.

I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than eat Stilton or it's equally disgusting mate Gorgonzola. Blech... The best thing to accompany them is a trip to the bin..

Given the subject that's maybe not the best choice of words LL

Any road up it's the womans fault for enjoying anal sex when pregnant: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7289767/Gay-people-exist-pregnant-women-anal-sex-says-Cypriot-bishop-shocking-statement.html

Good grief indeed: I claim the 5th and refuse to comment further on the grounds it may incriminate me other than to say.......why?

Can I make an unapologetic appeal here as the subject has come up. The Salvation Army CEO, or equivalent rank, is paid just £15,500 a year, compare that to the top charity earner of almost a million. I'm not a member nor am I religious but I think they deserve all the support they can get.

I've told my tale on here before about main dealers, I just wish I could find the smary, supercilious sod who insisted there was no fault

As you say nonna many of these overpaid idiots seem to have an ability to get through enormous amounts of money and end up broke. I can think of several, especially boxers. As for the WAGS I often think if that guy worked for the council collecting wheelie bins would she still find him as attractive...

Wohoo good shot Ben, that has set us all thinking...

OK forget the beans, I'll make it two tins of summat else..

Well for a start I'd share my good fortune and put two tins of beans in the charity box at Lidl...

I took my sister on it once, she would be about 9 or 10. Scared the crap out of me. Not only was the ride wild she actually stood up in it!

Apparently he supports three charities and two 'causes' but without signing up you can't see any more detail.

If I remember correctly he disliked some of the posts at that time and said he was leaving the forum.
