  1. Which one is you Lizzie ?[ url=https://postimages.org/][/url]
  2. Back in the late sixties when I was on bulk coal deliveries, we used to do a run from Sutton pit to Ketton cement nr.Stamford. One route used to take us through Newark on the Balderton road to pick up the A1 south. About 15 years ago I was bringing my ma in law back to Nottingham from Norfolk and I suggested we came back through Newark and Southwell. Got to Newark and onto a bypass and hadn't got a bloody clue where I was. Got totally lost, had to retrace my steps until I recognised an area then managed to cross the Trent at the castle and eventually got ma home. Couldn't believe the changes i
  3. What's washing ????
  4. Thought that Phil, but didn't like to say owt, or be too presumptuous. You know how it is !
  5. Hero worship for VICTOR MELDREW
  6. Trouble is, a smartarse witty response is wasted on the dim witted. If you've gotta explain it, then you've lost one of your best bits of sarcasm.
  7. Maybe we should start a club Compo. With Fly2 that would three of us. Down here with these Southern Jessie's I'm sometimes considered rude ! They don't understand the concept of witty sarcasm.
  8. Si Senora, multi buono ! Gratzi
  9. Yes Lizzie, I did say Tina. But it's not that one ! My missus used to sing in a choir when we lived in Bulwell but not since being in Sussex. I do still get warbles emanating from the bathroom, or I have to make do with, " You need your hair cut ". Wouldn't change though.
  10. All this natter and not one word about pasta or garlic bread. Pass me a slice o pizza Tina !
  11. Why are you not surprised ?
  12. He were bloody bigger than me !
  13. Fly, unfortunately I was never asked to play for the Malt shovel or write any scores for em'. B.
  14. One kid in our class, when I was about 14, decided to use his italics pen as a dart and threw it at me. It stuck in my leg just above my knee. I've still got my first tattoo from 61 years ago ! Hated writing ever since.
  15. Come on then Margie, spill the beans. Which is your bestest handwriting ?? I got it right then
  16. Are you still doing time for forgery Margie ??? PS. I reckon it's no.3.
  17. Has anyone heard of ITALIGRAPH writing ???
  18. Surely Margie, Jerusalem would be a better National anthem than dirge we've got now. A lot of people think so. Me, I'm not bothered as am a confirmed Ewok. PS. Sing us a few bars of Can it be, so we can get the feel of it.
  19. TBI & Waddo, I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiments. You can feel that if you attend the Menin gate ceremony at 20.00hours. My wife and I attended two nights on the trot and found it very moving. Before the last post, a list of names is read each night (different each time), all British, I believe. Beekay.
  20. And did those feet, in ancient times....
  21. Thanks Brew, but I'm not allowed any sharp instruments.
  22. Spellings not the problem, it's when you have to do joined up writing ! That's when things go wrong.
  23. Coulda been worse Phil Couilda been Kirkby in Ashfield !!!
