That's all propaganda and ' fake news'. Next they'll be saying there's no such thing as Buster Keaton !

I've every faith in you Carni.

Hope that cygnet dunt get a whiff of your chicken Carni. Is what might be called Chicken con Carni ??

Nobody has mentioned the "Orion", that used to be on Alfreton road, just down from Canning circus. Used to be our local fleapit and Saturday morning rush. Became a Fine Fare after that. Heaven knows what it is now, probably a charity shop or takeaway.

In an earlier post, rob237 mentions the place in Bulwell market, ( Olympia), he said it used to show static nudes. My dad had the dubious part time job of standing offstage, in the wings and putting the robes or dressing gowns on the 'models' as they came offstage. He told on one occasion when I was waiting for him just inside the stage door that 'Jane' from the Daily Mirror had just been on. The girl in a cartoon strip with a little dachshund called Fritz. I could have only been a tiddler at the time. B.

Some people are priceless Fly.

May I repeat an earlier post and say many thanks for all your kind words. One of you very kindly offered to ' pop down' and bring me back up to Nottingham, ( you know who you are). It's when you get a response like this it make you realise its not a bad old world after all ! Thank you Nottstalgians , Barrie.

Many thanks to one and all for your kind words. I'm still a bit dopey at the moment, don't know what to think. Big brother did have one or to ailments which would contribute. That's all three brothers gone now, one older and two younger, and I'm seventy five !! Thanks again, Barrie.

As this thread is about 'how's your day?', well, I don't want to put a dampner on it but my day has just gone crap !! It's , Wednesday at 9_50pm and just had a phone from my nephew to tell me that older brother have just passed away. They're not sure if it was last night or early this morning. Too early to tell yet but suspect a heart attack, (he would be 79 in April). Sorry to ruin your thread but I just feel like sh*t and had to air my feelings somewhere. I live over two hundred miles away so don't know if I'll get the chance to say goodbye. Hopefully I can get up to Nottingham for his funer

I thought it was 'pearly gates'. done now Jill, but many thanks for responding. Barrie.

Can somebody kindly explain to me how to sign in on another unit. I have a little netbook type laptop and can't get to sign. Asking me for display name and password. Put my name in but to no avail. What am I doing wrong. Thanking you in anticipation, Beekay. edit... forget the above, I've just done it, but don't ask me how. told you I worra dimwit

Know how you must be feeling Commo, lost both my two boys, 28 & 40 years ago respectively. There's never a day goes by when we don't think of them. Heartfelt condolences to you and yours. Kindest respects, Barrie (Beekay).

Compo, if its not a personal question, what camera do you use ? Beekay.

At 75, I wonder if you can get cruise control and a satnag on a mobility scooter??

Nice one Brew !!

Been married 53 years and still not found the on/off switch. Just have to put up with top gear advice from her. Maybe it's time for a part exchange.

I've got a brilliant cruise control......she sits at the side of me and it's " there's a car coming, watch that cyclist !! there's a bus pulling out !!". The times I've said to her "when you get a driving licence, then you can advise me. Otherwise sit in the back". Not that she takes any notice. B.

I don't have that problem ! I keep my handbrake on all the time. B.

And a couple at Beamish.

I know its not a city. Tongue was firmly in my cheek when writing. Seaton has got one too. Bin on that as well.

Crich has got one Ben ! Bin on it !

No Ian, by 1965 I was driving up at Bilborough depot.

Stavertongirl, If you don't have any luck finding your Bovril, just let me know and I will gladly send you some. All the way from the South coast.

They are normally stocked long with condiments etc., oxo, salts, pepper and the like. Good hunting !!
