Bones can be donated, when I had a reverse shoulder revision they gave me somebodies hip joint ball into my shoulder and a "claw" onto my Humerous . Then it was just waiting for the bones to fuse together before I could move my arm again. I am still waiting for my other shoulder to be done, so hurry up and have your hip done Phil, I may have your hip ball.

DJ I copied the photo from a booklet published for the closing of Central Fire Station, the photo was one of a collection of incidents that Central attended since it opened in 1940 , so I believe it is authentic.

Brew whatever you do don't shut up, I am sure you know that I read with interest what you post and agree with most of what you write, but I think this topic is going off topic and straying into politics so I will say no more.

Sorry I haven't welcomed you on board before , whatever you do don't stop posting. You posts bring a ray of sunshine to this dismal life of mine. Seeing as you once resided I Hucknall you are doubly welcomed. Have no fear of going off topic everyone else does , some times I think it is compulsory, anything you post about Nottingham will be most welcome, I look forward to some more interesting posts.

Have to agree with you Jill love matters but being one of 10 children with a b*****d of a father who was an violent abusive selfish man who lived for his ale and went on adventures for months and years at a time that was missing in my home. My mother was broken woman, both physically and emotionally but she still did her best, money was important if he wanted the money for his enjoyment mother went even shorter . That was the norm for a lot of families in them days , many of the children of these families have done very well for themselves. What I mean by education is not only the 3 R type ed

I never thought myself as poor , I thought it was normal to have holes in my shoes and not having things others had. Only when I was 11 and being offered a place at a school where you stayed till you were 16 and needed a uniform did I realise that I came from a poor family. I was lucky I stayed at that school and had a better education till I was 15, when I made the decision to leave as I saw the problems my mother was having on how to purchase new uniform for the next year. I am not complaining as I knew many who were a lot worse off than me. People do start off disadvantaged , only a good ed

Stuart.C thanks for posting it upright, I keep trying to but so far failed to master the process.

Attached is a Photo I have found of the crashed Canberra bomber on the rail lines at Bulwell Common Station . Sorry if is too large and side ways still not worked out to change photos. I

I am too busy living my on life to concern myself with someone else who I have never met. He doesn't make comments on mine why should I or anyone else comment on his. What he does if it is legal its up to him.

I am not going to make any comment about shaking NonnaBs lemons.

I was in Boots the other week chatting to the ladies as usual, when she told me that a woman was preparing to steal items, I naturally looked at her and sure enough she put more into her bag and walked out the shop. I asked if she was going to stop her and I was told that it was the policy not to do anything other than let them proceed with the theft due to safety concerns for the staff. It appears they can steal what they like without any problems.

He who laughs last has only just understood the joke.

I brought the wife a new bag and belt for valentines day. The vacuum cleaner will work a lot better for her.

Fogrider the photo is from Triumph Road, it was taken from Lenton Times . Searching through the different editions of it you can find photos and info regarding the station and also the opening of Dunkirk Station. I once found info on a young Ron Spencer, who you will know, he served at both Triumph road and Dunkirk, I tried to find it again to make a copy of it but failed, hope you find Lenton times interesting. You can purchase copies of the Lenton Times as it is still in publication.

Hi Trevor welcome to Nottstalgia, in your post you mentioned the Fire Station on Triumph road, this closed down and moved to Abbey Road Dunkirk, which has now been demolished. I can only find one photo of Triumph Road Station which is from 1940/41.

Here is a map of 1955 Bulwell with China Street on it.

Happy birthday Col , may your wishes of today come to be.

Cliff Ton You owe me a cup of coffee, I spilt mine when I read your post. I can see the image in my head, with other ladies chasing them shouting don't forget about us then Ben.

I often have the part baked rolls, they are delicious straight out the oven with a bowl of soup.

Brew I gave you a like only because I know how you feel, the GP telling you that you are to old. The best thing to do is remember the problem and get on and enjoy your life.

Not being a cat lover I have to agree with you Jill. My son and his wife had a cat and work meant they had to move Cities and were living in Hotels, we were left with the cat. It was only for a few months ,but due to house chains breaking down it ended up over six months. It didn't take long for her to train us and take over the running of the house, in no time at all our lives revolved around the cats welfare. Are they deities? of course they are and they make sure you know it.

After visiting numerous "nursing homes" during my working life it is my ambition to die the day before being forcibly placed in one of them. As for sheltered accommodation I will have to visit some to determine my view of them, as time goes on the effort of maintaining my home becomes harder and the idea of less work sounds good to me.

I had an exciting day, the wife told me to take the shopping from the car and take it to the kitchen. I said no.

Try wild camping, take everything you need in a back pack and go up on the Moors for a week. The exciting thing about it is you never know if you will make it back, LOL.

loppylugs I can understand your views regarding Facebook, despite all the stories about it , there are many sites which are very interesting with photos and memories about Nottingham. "Nottingham way back when" is one which I visit regularly and find it very informative. There are also many others.
