  1. You shot your brother eh! Maybe we should change your Avatar name to...Ma Baker.
  2. Yes Trogg, we watch them down yer ! A nice bit of fresh salad for the little buggers.
  3. Been in it and shopped there while waiting for my car to be serviced at Beanland Motors, opposite the Beechdale pub.
  4. That pub youre referring to Ben, is 'The Beechdale'. Its situated where Beechdale veers off to the right and the road that goes straight ahead is Honington road. Wigman road starts at the next traffic island, ( this would be the route of the original buses, 56, 60 and 13 ((which turned left onto Glaisdale drive)). Often called in that pub when finished work at Bilborough depot. All those shops below Robins Wood road, I often pulled up at the bus stop and dash over to the paper shop for a paper or packet of fags. This was back in the mid 60s.
  5. Tried to watch the above post CT, but was put off by the annoying generator or machine gun soundtrack. I realise it's probably supposed to be a soundtrack of a cine projector, but so not neccesary. Think I'll watch it and put my background effects on it.
  6. How come they built a Lidl in Bingham? Surely that's just a one horse village out in the sticks, or am I totally behind the times. Incidentally, I've got some Waitrose bags too Phil.
  7. Come to think of it, I only suggested MrsB a while ago as a possibility. But she seems to have taken to it like the proverbial duck to water. I look forward to making your acquaintence Mrs Butterfly.
  8. Too right sunshine ! Trouble is, when I get up there, all the bloody fruit will be gone. I shall have to call in Morrisons or Aldi in Nottingham, on my way and buy my pears there. Still, it's the thought that counts int it Ian.
  9. And I wish you all the very best to you both Lets. We celebrated our Golden back in 2015 up at Thoresby hall when we planted a pear tree and go back to see it every year. So you were virtually childhood sweethearts, and long may it last. You'll have to PM me the date, so I can send you an anniversary card. B.
  10. Did you marry a child bride then Lets ?
  11. Spent quite bit of my secondary school years at Cottesmore. Radford blvd., used part of it as extra classrooms. Not only that but that was also where we went for school dinners. At one time my mum got a job as a kitchen assistant, when I stayed for dinners, my mum would come out into the dining area and shout 'Barrie do ya want some more taters, veg, or custard eg'. I would look for corner to hide in. ( She was the same if she got on my bus, then tell everbody "That's my son drivin' "! ! )
  12. Where do I send my begging letter Col? It will help get out of Angola.
  13. Just to add my two pennorth. I have just signed the pensioner petition too. Must admit though, I knew bugger all about it.
  14. You ought to approach him Phil, and say.." Your'e the man from the mirror and I claim my £5.00 ".
  15. My shed was called...'La casa del Perro'.
  16. I remember seeing a truck called 'The Lincolnshire Poacher', can't remember the firms name but their trucks were ALL Lincolnshire somethings.
  17. I was curious with that one as well Oz.??
  18. An' I wonder where you got that from? Have yuz finished it yet.
  19. Whoopee , summat different. How come the magneto won't get damp in your shed? Have you done something to damproof it? A comfy mancave.
