  1. It's still pretty much the same, only rubbish has taken over the interest,and the surprise is not good!!.
  2. Ahh you see, you don't get that with vaping. If you don't smoke or if you vape you can tell if a person smokes as soon as you get near them. The smell lingers on everything!.
  3. So sorry to hear about your loss Commo, please accept my sincere condolences.
  4. If you think about it, the Chinese can make a lot of things work, maybe Confucius has something to do with it!!.
  5. German autobahns, a great way to get along. I regularly use them when I take the bike to Nuremburg, and the good thing is the drivers over there pay attention to what's going on around them. It also gives me a chance to blow the cobwebs off the bike. Mind you, they are not all unlimited !!. That's another story ,!
  6. Nonna, sorry to hear the news, but just to reiterate what all the other members have said, keep on thinking positively, and keep your self busy to take your mind off things. Wishing you all the very best..
  7. Your wife aint Hyacinth Bucket is it?
  8. I know that there are two side's, sometimes more, to many discussions. But personally, i feel that the majority of speed limits are a joke. Back in the days when Jesus was a kid, speed limits and stopping distances were based around the car's of the day. Now we have vehicles that can stop and handle much better than then but now they are bringing speed limits down. I know it still requires sense to drive, but I think it's mainly done for revenue purposes. Yes I do speed occasionally, but only when it's safe to do so, not in cities, villages, bad roads or conditions etc. And yes I still ha
  9. I bought my lotus elan from him, my father knew him at the time and I got about £150.00 knocked off the price.only had it about 6weeks, before some thieving scrote nicked it. Mind you, in those 6weeks, it spent more time at Mick lovells garage, his place was under the railway arches at broad marsh !.
  10. Personally, I would have thought that the easiest and best way would be by ambulance, right to the door. Lol
  11. So long as you don't refer to the trams !
  12. Blimey, that brings back some memories. Andos had a passage down the left of the shop where folks took rags/old cloths to be weighed. My dads shop was two doors to the right of Andos, he sold his shop to Reg King (the bookmaker/ boxing/wrestling promoter) who eventually got his money back from dad, due to his fondness of gambling!.My grandmas cafe was a further two shops along, next door to Nobles the cleaners, formally some tyre place.
  13. When I was young, i remember a fire at the then, new post office building at the bottom of Bath st, St Ann's. It seemed like a large fire, or was that just my childhood memories playing tricks?
  14. I can remember the Duffield family one of them was quite athletic, chased me up st Ann's Well rd, me on a bike and him running. Luckily i eventually got away to survive the bashing that he was going to give me.

    Why?

    Why can't I find someone who can mend a broken light bulb?
  16. Looking to the left of the picture near the top was the Palais and behind the bus was the old central market at the end of the building was a petrol station.so really, you are only a couple of hundred yards away.
  17. I presume that you refer to the "hells Angel" type and not the "tour de France" type?
  18. I think it does cost, we pay their wages through the goods that we buy!!.
  19. Welcome Andy, hope you have a good time with us and look forward to reading your tales, be it good, bad or indifferent!
  20. Saw a few John Smith's in a bar recently!!
  21. I didn't go to mundella! I went to Roland green which eventually became that Emanuel thing. As I read the thread, I believed it to be about Roland green.
  22. Over here in Goa, they have plenty of English restaurants, obviously some better than others but some are on par with the cooking back home.
