  1. The one with the Asian fairy twittering on about his prawn balls.
  2. Age of vehicle doesn't come into it, they are show plates and not legal for road use. The driver can still get nicked for using the vehicle on the public highway.
  3. Once saw him open a carnival in Hucknall in the guise of Selwyn Froggit when I was a kid. A very talented and funny man. R i p
  4. Still got mine in the loft. Started with the figure of eight then made it into a four lane track. Configuration of track shape was always variable so interest was always maintained.
  5. The politically correct brigade may seek to stifle free speech but they cannot do anything about private thoughts.
  6. Never met personally but felt I knew him from his posts. R I P
  7. You can set the clocks to whatever you like, nature will do what it has always done and provide daylight as it sees fit.
  8. So Michael McIntyre thought it was funny to sneak in on Andy Murray and wake him up, pity he didn't jump out of bed and hit him between the eyes. If that is comedy it is news to me, it is people with no talent acting the fool. They say he was a hit in America, they are welcome to him. As soon as he appears on the screen I change channel.
  9. Used to listen to Chris Ashley on a Saturday afternoon, what a sense of humour.
  10. Not so sure about vaping either. I saw one chap stood at a bus stop in Papplewick last week vaping for all he was worth, its a wonder the fog horn in Skegness wasn't triggered. Your lungs were given to you to breath fresh air, not that muck. As my mates young daughter descibes it " it looks as if they are sucking a chimney".
  11. You would have thought that those working in the NHS would have seen enough of the results of this stupid habit to deter them.
  12. Of course you can ,Malcolm!
  13. Colwick cheese (the original version), mushy peas on the corner of the fish market in the old Central Market .
  14. Stand on any street corner and observe life, you'd swear some of the objects walking by were from another planet.
  15. Midnight caller starring Gary Cole as Jack Lillian had a haunting theme tune.
  16. Used to like the theme music to Miss Marple, the film version with Margaret Rutherford was even better.
  17. Looks much better. Brings back memories of when life was less complicated and lived at a slower pace.
  18. Can't think of anything I don't blame them for.
  19. And remember to park as near to the gates as possible even if there are yellow lines painted on the road. The little darlings shouldn't have to walk any further than necessary.
  20. The road outside my house has had the speed limit reduced from 40 to 30 mph and there are red and white signs indicating this. Has it worked? Has it hell. It seems a popular pastime to see how much it can be beaten by. Occasionally a marked police car will park up and observe but of course everyone behaves when they see it. There is a permanent sign indicating that speed cameras can be used but I can't remember seeing them for a long time. Permanent cameras are the answer as they are not subjective and only present the facts. Motorbikes are one of the worst offenders and as Nottingham Police h
  21. You were not on your own Colin to come off second best when I got in the way on the rugby pitch. Being a fair bit bigger than most made my job easy and as I could run as fast as most nobody was safe. Mind you I got a surprise one afternoon when I thought I was going to stop Vic Gladwin, a teacher known as mini man due to being quite small. He put me about six feet up in the air! The first teacher I had for rugby was Dave Impey, a great bloke who most got on with. One weekend we played a match at Lincoln and got thrashed at a time when we usually won. Dave wasn't too happy with us so the next g
  22. Well remember Buckleys ice cream Jonab .Jim Buckley used to live just up the road from me and kept a freezer at home full of ice cream for the neighbours, just knock at the door and you were served with whatever you wanted. His daughter and the girl next door used to take me to school before I was old enough to go on my own. Haslams pop was good stuff and having them next door to an ice cream factory was paradise.
  23. Just connect the feed pipe to the Council House, there is enough gas coming out of there to power the entire fleet.
  24. Wouldn't like to be around when it becomes compulsory. Mind you, when it does the human race will not last long. The dogooders of society have got a lot to answer for but regrettably they are never brought to book for their actions.
