Do you mean I'm boring you Brew ? If so I'll have to find another topic that may interest you. What about a photographic collection of bus stops I have stood at.?

Wots up Margie? Fancy making soup?

Nonna posted a picture of herself wearing a mask. I'm growing mine !! [/url

Sounds a bit like a Carry on script.

For P.P.,. This chair I painted back in about 1992ish. Took a long while but I really enjoyed doing it. A bit too big for putting in a doll's house though.

Hiya Mary and P.P., good morning to you both and anyone else reading this drivel. This hobbing irons, I reckon I painted them at least 16years ago. Every time we came up to Nottingham Tina's cousin would say they had a little something, could I paint it? The 'little something turned out to be those shoe lasts and a couple of flat irons ! Still, we had free board so can't grumble. P.P, I painted a full size chair back in the late eighties, if I can find a picture I'll post it. Mary, you must email me some pix of your work. Said it before, to NonnaB, don't knock what you do. It's you

Thank you Gem, I've drawn and painted for as long as I can remember. Always seemed to do well at school then it sort of dropped off for a while. As a teenager, there was always something more interesting, like motorbikes, camping etc. My interest was re-ignited about 1970 (ish) when I joined Arnold art society. I tended to stick to water colours at that time, I knew bugger all about oils. It was in the 80s after our first canal boat holiday that I developed an interest in canal art. Tina, my wife bought me a lovely book called " Let's paint Rose's and Castles" and that showed me the techniq

Supposed to be bad for your back.

Here I am, sat outside drinking my coffee and as you can see, it's rather quiet here where I live. Yet we have a neighbour who wanders about the site with a mask permanently on, even when she's sitting in her car. It's like a western ghost town, almost with rolling tumbleweed. Who on Earth does she think is going to infect her?? It's like Charity flag Day in Aberdeen !

You can still buy them Jill, in some souvenir shops. It was possible to make collection sets. I remember one set consisted of musicians forming a band. There was all different sorts, sports etc. All were very popular.

Thank you to all reacted to the above picture. Said it before but it is very much appreciated and inspires me to continue with the brushes.And just for those who want to know...They are in Rise Park, and that's in Nottingham.

Nice thing about working for the Corpo, ya got a free bus ride home for ya cuppa tea.

Were you a pilot LL ?

This is one for Pevril Peril. Just found the picture. These were done a few years ago. They now live in Rise Park, a few doors down from where Chulla lived.

Rub it in why doncha!

I'm walking with giants.

Careful Brew! The barbs are showing.

A bit like the Morons who climb Snowdon etc., wearing only Jean's and teeshirt , then rely on some poor sods bailing them out when they get in trouble.

They're the ones CT., thanks. You have clarified the name of the road. I'd forgotten about Carrington street. Arkwright street must have started at Canal street. So, so long ago. The Walter fountain was before my time, but I do remember the Alms houses. Also turn left into the old Broad marsh bus station, where one caught West Bridgford and Clifton buses.

At the back of my old grey matter, I vaguely remember before all that, when there was a row of Alms houses on, would it be Kirkwhite street., or the start of Arkwright street? I could have only been a toddler at the time. Don't know what I'd be doing down there or if I was with a parent. Wonder if CT has a picture of that time.

Probably got fed up with the moaners LL.........Abandoned ship.

Ta very gladly Phil. Much obliged...no wiser but much obliged.

Can some bright egghead tell this dinosaur, who still uses a gas powered mobile what 5g is? ..Come to that, what's 4g!

Thought for a minute Pianoman, you were going to say, ' the only way to distance was through another store'.

When at Bilborough depot, first out was no.55, Bilborough to Camberley road, Bulwell. Sign on time 04.59. Next, first 60, then 62/30.
