Wasn't too far off then, eh Phil. I did try, but it must be fifty years or so, since I were up that area.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't it off plains Road, Mapperley. Not sure if it was wells road or ransom Road. Always remember me mum getting riled when we kids were Playing up. She would say, "Yo kids are gonna put me bleddy St.Annes". I think it was a hospital for people with mental problems.

On my Galaxy8, the line right at the top, above the nottstalgia logo, there an info line telling what your on and in the right hand top corner there is no page icon, then the 'share' symbol then the three dots. The only trouble is once closed, when I re open I have to click on desk top sight every time. It won't stay on that screen. It's where the crude red circle is LL.

Nowadays, the so called comedians don't seem to be able to tell a joke without the need to use expletives or other lurid innuendos. There's plenty of material out there without bucket mouthing. Hope I've not opened a tin of worms with this one !

I'm not knocking the film honest. Just using that as an example. It'll be on again come Easter. It's just that the powers that be churn out the same dross every year. I mean, I ask you, Christmas day and "Homes under the hammer". Never turned the TV off so much before. Listened to music or short stories instead.

Right now it's bloody "Sound of Music" AGAIN !! I could take apart in it, (a goat). A brilliant film when it came out but after the first 10 showings, it wears a bit thin. Never realised how much of it is superimposed.

Just sitting here reflecting, what a crap time on TV., this Christmas, yet again. Nothing but endless repeats and more than an ample dose of Animation films. I suppose sticking a film on is a good filler of time. You don't have to pay any bugger when they shove those on. Last night, for example, Morcambe and Wise, the lost tapes. It was from back in 1968 and repeated every year. What's lost about that? Much as I like M & W, one can follow the script word for word. New Year don't look much better either.

Survived and made a lovely cat Ian. HAPPY NEW YEAR MATE !

The only sort of cat I can have...

Bless you, CT, Enigma and Roger Peatman. With your help I finally got control of my Galaxy tab8. Using your recommendation of clicking on three dots and opting for "Desktop site". Well done boys, thank you.

Not forgetting the other side of the coin...

Believe it or not, this cat's name is "Ben'ben". Said to be the saddest cat ever.

We had a black cat from Trinity walk pet shop back in1968. She were a long haired English black. They were known as English Queens. We kept her for about 18 years before big C took her. Loved that cat.

And one more...

Just to add to Margie's picture...

And my Galaxy tab8

You mentioned Trent bridge Ben. My sister in law's dad's ashes are buried under a piece of that hallowed turf. He were a groundsman there for many years.

At least I don't have to show me passport at the Thames anymore. I will need a street map now though. Had a look on Mr.Google, and hardly recognised Kennington road, where I spent me teens. Just had a look on Google at some pictures of Nottm on Christmas day. Market Square, Plains road, Front st.Arnold,derby road, Upper Parliament st etc. All totally deserted. Like Flag Day in Aberdeen.

I'll second that swe62, just soon as it's safe to do so. I reckon I done me time in solitary. Wonder if I'll remember the way oop North.

Only a 7 hour, 384mile round trip. Might just do that for me quarter pound of Stilton.

Our last three shop deliveries, we've been unable to get Stilton for love nor money. Had the red wine though.:-)

PhilMayfield, if you're still on reading this. I took your suggestion, and we had a Gammon joint...with Egg and Chips ! Best Christmas Dinner for a long time. (We were brought a turkey dinner two weeks ago from our local pub. Delivered plated and piping hot).

Now you're talking a load of cobblers!

How are you going to top that come Easter, Terry?
