  1. If cheaper alternatives were available that would solve the problem, but like I said in another post, why does everything "green" have to cost so much more than the item you want to replace?. The majority of folk's don't like being ripped off !!!

  2. Can anyone tell me who came up with the idea of resurrecting tram's, or was there a vote/poll  and is/are the person/people responsible still in a job?

    Just drain the canals, put the track in, get the tram's down there, then flood the canals, no more tram based congestion!! I reckon I could work oops sorry, I mean be employed by the council to make expensive decisions, 

  3. One night, whilst out with the ex and her mother, the ex said "would you like to see me in something long and flowing?" I replied, "yes the Trent". The mil then spoke up saying " that's horrible, if you were married to me,I would put poison in your dinner " I replied "if I was married to you, I would eat it". It was a love/hate relationship, she loved hating me and I hated loving her....the ex then told me that when I die she would dance on my grave, I said can you make that a promise? She said yes why? I said because I'm being buried at sea!!!

  4. What I remember about my ex is, she constantly reminded me that when I was I'll she was there with me, when I was skint, she was there with me, when I was made redundant, she was there with me, when I had to have my dog put to sleep and it broke my heart, she was there with me.. It was then that I realised,           she was bad luck !!!

  5. OK, picture this, a tram crossing university boulevard suddenly gets derailed, due to some inconsiderate sod discarded a fag packet, stray dog, bike wheels stuck, whatever, seconds before Mr or ms lifesaver appears with all blues and two's going full chat, with some poor sod in the back,bleeding profusely, needing heart surgery, holding the side of their face on or whatever, comes to a complete stop because this 100ft dinosaur has blocked his only route to the place of recovery, less than half a mile away. Who is held responsible for the probable outcome!!!!. Said scenario is probable, likelihood possible !!!!

    I would just like to say,I still have problems replying to posts.

    When I first joined nottstalgia I could reply to anything,now it's just a very few.

    If I click on reply nothing happens,

    .maybe it's because I use an iPad? 

    Dont want people to think I only come on here to play song association or keep one drop one.

    You need to switch your iPad off for about 5mins then switch on, then try. If no success, hit it a couple of times, if still no success, cal out computer expert. That usually does the trick.....it worked for me

  7. Right then, been thinking about this, so tram's will ease the congestion! How Doe's that work when they don't have to stop at sequential traffic lights, but get right of way thereby causing Que's of traffic waiting for the slug's to cross the junctions. That's just one example, I am sure there will be more....

     

  8. Don't really know but, I would have thought that a tram with 30,000 people on it would be a bit overcrowded !. And all from as many as 10 tram stop's, wow. Still I suppose they know what they're doing..... After all that's why they were elected. And another crossing over the Trent, surely it would cost more if they went under, that's got to be the way !!!

    Waddo, in your year, Chaz, Mick Grinnion, Pocco, there was a lad with a disfigured face they cruelly called him Popeye, Ralph Reid, Dianne Wing, Mick Plewinski.

    The only name that jump's out at me is Michael Grinnion and the lad with the disfigured face, it was swollen on one side and had a large birthmark if I remember rightly.

  11. You're bang on Mike, one side of the chippy was takeaway the other side did sit down dinners. I used to get a fresh loaf from the bakery, rip the middle out while it was still hot and eat it. Then get a bag of chips, tip them in the loaf with load's of salt and vinegar, lovely, I got my No6 from the newsagents at 1/9 for 10. Remember Trigg, Wallace and Holy Joe. Did Miss Dyson specialise in vacuuming in her domestic science class?
