Happy birthday Ben. -
Ah. So that's what the giggling was last night. She can be a bit cheeky, our Mavis. Hope she dint embarrass you, Mr Marsden.

I think we'll have the Coopers. Can you deliver it. Ta.

Long shot. I can remember seeing a butcher's shop from my bus journeys from Bobbers mill across town years ago. The name was Rideout. Was it the one on Alfreton Rd? Edited.

I worked in Syd Smith's machine shop at the top of Rye St in 1961 -

Can't keep good dancers down. Some good improv at the end of the clip. -

Here's a young band carrying on the rockabilly style of the 50s. And the same guitarist doing a turn on the drums:- Surfin Safaris cover. I really do like some rhythm in me music, even at my age. -
Or specific gravity, praps.

This house is watching the BBC Christmas Lecture series. The series so far this year has covered Covid, Sars, flu, epidemiology, t-cells, the development of vaccines and how these work on viruses. Superbly illustrated with models and practical demonstrations as usual. Very enlightening.

Man acquires top end reel; check. Cats run off with fly fishing line; check. Club Committee member scent-marks shrubbery; check. Unknown piscatorial creature nicks expensive tackle; check. There's more to this fishin' thing than you'd think.

Tight lines, PP.

Trinity Square Over The Years
Willow wilson replied to radfordred's topic in Web Sites about old Nottingham
I never got to the L Shaped Room even though it was local to my usual haunts. I just now searched it on here and the result is an aladins cave of engaging threads and posts. The city was a really 'fab' place in those days by all accounts regarding the club and speciality music scene. -
Trinity Square Over The Years

Causerie became our clique's preferred venue for a time. Those were the days, we also would while away the hours. Chatting about important nothings. Causerie seemed ideal for daytime get togethers. But then, in later days we ventured on our separate ways. No matter where my memory chases, I forget their names but see their faces. -

Le Causery, Phil. I think that's the spelling of it. -

A reminder of past carefree days on me holidays. Weymouth band in the park. Maybe again next year! Ps. I'm not dancing on this one -

The Tams again. This looks like an early version on northern soul. With strict dress code. Very stylish. -
First time I saw a coloured television working was in 1968 at a commercial demonstration of the first trans Atlantic colour transmissions, via satellite I think.

Or as Hans Christian Andersen would say- When words fail, music speaks. -
My non involvement experiences with diesels. I once saw a 17.5 ton with the cab tilted forward and a mechanic standing inside the chassis. He was busy working on the injector pumps. Airlock? Water? I don't know but the wagon was stuck half way across Parliament St. so no pressure on him. A few weeks ago I passed a car on a motorway hard shoulder and it was spewing white exhaust smoke out all across the road from, i guess, a runaway diesel. Not sure how you deal with one of those if it's getting combustible fuel from somewhere. Light smoke; sump oil?

This was quite popular in its day. We used to to sing it fortissimo in school playground along with Vaughan's 'Green Door'.
