Unfortunately, iv'e been familiar with this talentless, most annoying pair for sometime... Other than the equally enjoying Sugar Sidekick, Nick Hewar (I used to like watching Countdown) It has to be, the most irritating episode ever. 197,000 ? Well I don't know where that went says Michael.....

Standing in the last throes of the East Stand... four year's season ticket, about 1981..Remember the car's driving around the outside of the pitch.. Toyota? Presumably sponsors, i recall them being mobile spitoons If memory serves i didn't partake myself! . ..

At the Wilton club? I was thinking a tennis coach..Yes

Thanks for wishing me a nice day Ben, same to you for the coming day. Pub Quiz tonight, there was a phase, since the advent of the smart phone that people got 'caught short' . too regularly.. Now everybody plays fair and the prize to the winner is a tenth of what it was previously!.

Funny, thought is was me.. DJ ! Not that I'm. bothered, here to leave my memories. Noticed, not for the first time, some new member's joining, but not posting. If the 'hows your day' thread was given the same criteria as the political thread, not sure, is it over 200 posts? and all contributors appear to qualify ...then newcomers might not feel so intimidated..or dare I say bored. I would have thought new member's come here to talk about Nottingham and thier memories and have very little interest in day to day activities. This is in no way a criticism of the

Which can lead, though flustration and being polite, and i quote, childish & futile gulp. I think if people weren't so trigger happy and me, me, me, things would improve. Simply reading the thread title would be a good start. Edit..took me over ten mins to pull of the edited quote! I need to upgrade this three inch screen!

Was it bespoke designer?

Cliff Ton...What did you do while employed at Central Studios? with your wonderful knowledge of maps, I'm thinking you might have been the weatherman? Thanks for the confirmation on the Hawkwind. Regarding TYA, Sent three emails to three friends from the newsgroup days and trading disks. Haven't chatted for seventeen years! Got one responce, 'Hey Buddy, I thought you were dead! Second, the DVD is in the post, snail mail from Kentucky! double header with The Marquee anniversary gig.

Your welcome Beekay, great picture, shame the modern world destroys these beasts, The one in my garden/neighbour was nothing like this, very narrow but reaching for the sky ! The so called surgeon of the trees simply butchered the main trunk..even over a decade later looks like a butcher job with a few offshoots.. might as well of bought in the poison and be done with it. I would like to think that at Tree surgery school they teach a principal of meddle with the main trunk as a last resort. In reality it's more likely, I'm competive, price wise and I'm not prepared t

Remember attending one of these, don't think it was called splendour then.. about 1992, If I remember correctly Dr Feelgood were headlining. Definitely free, sponsored by Heineken. Traditionally, Not a Special's fan, but did see them on Graham Norton....very good.

Elements of William Blake, Beekay, also an anteater. Is that a Hedgehog kissing a Morlock? Had a tree in our Garden, no idea on species, had to go, affecting neighbours insurance. Really old, still about 12 feet high, but zero offshoots. When it rained, some brilliant images on the bark, Jesus and a small monkey were my favourites! Wish I"d taken photos.

That's the one, Cliffton, Bedrock, I'm happy with the attempt with Roadblock but the date was a howler! Think it was about 1991. These shows were only broadcast locally. Making the assumption that there were six in the series, interesting to know which other three artists featured. I have a bootleg DVD called 'Groupies' a real time capsule, probably available on utube, features TYA, Terry Reid & others.

Recall Ten Years After playing at a TV series based in Nottingham about 1985. Possibility called Roadblock? Advertised on Radio Trent, Tickets were free or 50p picked up at the small kiosk in Victoria Centre near Jessops and Victoria market. Gig was in the Radford area, guessing Cental studio. had at least two overhead cameras that were constantly on the move, I was standing at the rear but really annoying if you didn't want to appear on the tele! I i coudn't make it, but think Hawkind also appeared in this series,

Sussed it! Went to visit my daughter today, she has the internet, Google maps, it was the Old Vic, this is interesting to me as I am familiar with it, must have been my first visit and didn't get in..sold out. Makes sence..I saw John Hammond Jnr solo here later and it was packed & I mean packed! Occasionally caught a glimpse of the headstock and the first two frets of the guitar, fantastic gig ! a real highlight. I'm sure this was promoted by the Nottingham Blues Society..any recollection or info?

1997 for me Beekay, gets the grey matter ticking over don't it! Took a snapshot of the mural picture, gave me the ability to zoom in. think it's not a rat run! I only ever caught Buses here at night. If I remember correctly all the aisles are roughly right of the photographer, unlike Victoria nothing on the mural side and it was dark in there. Think there were about thirteen aisles in total..The bus I caught.went to Bingham, can't recall the number of the bus but the aisle was about where the pic was taken. No 12? If I approached from the Subway my head would do a left.. wh

Inappropriately posted the first part of my Jack Bruce in Nottingham memories in the 'what are you listening to' thread. The three times I gained entry, all at the Palais were1984 twice and 85-86. The second time was Clem Clempson on guitar also I think third. I recall Clem having to leave the stage do to heat exhaustion on one of the occasions, possibility fainted? Also recall Jack Doing 'Theme for an Imaginary western' solo on keyboard and stopping after the intro...a few expletives later starting the song again! Fuzzy about the fourth time, didn't get in due to sold

I have no recollection of that mural in pic 3 ! Was it a long term fixture? Do remember the smell of the public toilet's though! Great pics and memories ! no 8 is a my favourite.

Remember the Trinity square pet shop, thought the animals appeared well treated. Were they Piranha in the tanks? high tanks to the right of the door, certainly looked like it. Remember feeling sorry for the Mcaw, not for sale me thinks but got lot's of attention! Shame to see loss of the high street pet shop, recall a good one in Arnold. Didn't know that aquatic supermarkets existed!

Back on topic did a quick search, I'm sure others picked up on, references to the Robin Hood Bicycle Company Nottingham. Maybe connected but a very generic name. Their adverts in The forties quote bikes in 'austerity colours' ?

Gave you a like DJ, not sure about the ambivalent though. Mentioned before about a couple of close shaves with pavement cyclists and had another one since! Thankfully relearnt my highway code to incorporate this. Pavement..no lights or bell..I am sure many people must have been injured by these Ba**ards! My great uncle was a leading airmen in the RAF based at RAF Grantham from 1921 to at least 1932 (not as grandiose as it sounds, his duties where anything from general maintenance to making cups of tea). In 1924 he was fined for having no front light on his bicycle

I'm sure there is a thread along the lines of 'bands you've seen In Nottingham'. Used the search feature..can I find it! .

If your TV has freesat..many do nowadays, simply attach the coaxial cable from the dish to the input on the TV.

Very true! But to me it's a record label, In regard to Free Cavity Wall insulation..my local dentistry doesn't provide it!

Must confess, I thought the Alexis Korner show was April '84, so much so I plonked my size 13 feet on the ladders to the loft..normally when I want something I leave it to my more nimble daughter! I was looking for a cassette tape..Spot on Cliffton! June 5th spoken by John Shaw on Trent, the Folk show, this was broadcast a few weeks later, Grandad recorded it for me as I didn't reside in Nottingham. At one time it was on utube, don't know if it still is, but missing the interviews with Jack, Iain Stewart and Jimmy Page. As for the gig itself, while being very well attended it di

Went to a couple of Glastonbury's 1983-86 , for me the best performers were off the main stages.. Courtney Pine! Never heard of him previously. MeltonStilton..recall Hawkwind at Stonehenge was it '84?. In a similar vein Nostell Priory about '82 Jethro Tull. & Acid days at Finsbury Park again Hawkwind.
