My First mode of transport was a triumph tiger cub , cost about 7 pound . and then onto a 500 cc BSA shooting star twin which i had for years . and then onto a Berkley Sports car w2hich from the forom looked like a jaguar , well if you had a few drinks before looking. but it onlyhad one wheel at the back . it had a 350cc villiers engine so obviously its top speed was a little slower than a jag . and then onto the first of 3 morris minors . most were over 10 years old but i enjoyed them so much. NOw all my cars are newish but they only get me from A to B there is no thrill of sitting behi

In the sixties we would go to the Savoy on a Sunday night . Sunday Night was normaly Horror night and sci fi , They were called X rated then and you had to be sixteen i think , but i would go in with friends at 14 They were film like " The Blob " Staring Steve Mcqueen , and " I was a Teenage Werewolf " Staring Michael Langdon of Bonanza fame . There was also films that were considered very racy at the time but would probably be PG now . PS I can spell but can't type :-(

Who should we have a future Statue of in Nottingham?
Morton40 replied to TYAFANS's topic in General Chat about Nottingham

wait till you get the overdue notice :-)
