  1. Wasn't Leonard Rossiter nicknamed Shagrat in this? Great Film!
  2. Think he simply did Parody..haven't seen mudhoney.wasn't the Knack an Alan Lester film? Way superior to a Hard Days Night in my opinion. As people have probably noticed ..My preference is to make errors over resorting to google.
  3. Me too.. way inferior but do you also like Russ Meyer?
  4. Yep..The Man of the TV Seies.. Big Deal.. ? Speculate to accumulate I recall his catchphrase.
  5. The Knack was a great film ..there was a 2010's film that took the plot..spotted it 10 mins in..placed it an modern context.... outrageous rip off.. and oscar nominated..nothing said..
  6. Will do..with my eyesight squint is very apt.!
  7. Still a novice..but I'm learning..coming to the conclusion that the Town Centre was ravaged by car parks & the motor car..how ironic that the trend is now pedestrianised ..after all the beautiful buildings are gone.
  8. Surprised how wide the road is..is Maid Marian Way that much wider? Thought this would have been adequate. Love that Westminster Building..a bank?
  9. Mandarin..that rings a bell.. i remember it being very open plan..but that could be simply down to my lack of proficiency with chop sticks!
  10. Got it.. thanks Chaps...recall some steps at the top of picture, slightly to the right..good place to steel some chat up time.. whilst waiting for mutual friends!
  11. Good to hear .Can't beat dad time! Superbowl..?? Don't get it! Back to my Chinese laptop!
  12. Can't recall the buildings on the right of photo.. i remember coming out of the royal children.. only a graveyard & church to be seen & the background of the picture looks like maid Marian way which means that I haven't even grasped the aspect!
  13. Council? My lot suffered slum private landlord's..kicking in the fence wasn't, a sensible option....
  14. Totally forgotten about this..thanks DavidA. I Remember the periscope. I think they gave out glossy leaflets and maybe stickers also.
  15. Too be fair..the way it has been dealt with, by the powers that be, is a disgrace...Which takes us back to the Armistice in 1918..i will say no more on the subject..
  16. Respond to being told what to do?..you must me a remainer Can't blame you...No Deal..No Meal
  17. Put simply..Japan became an annex of the USA. West Germany due to the threat of the Soviets was redeveloped..The thing that baffles me, how after losing two wars, is Germany running Europe?
  18. Sadly America is running the show..but I did like the tin plate robots as a child
  19. Agree about the Who ..Never really rated Daltery until he 'Became' Tommy ..overnight great vocals. Do you have Townsend's 'Who am i' audiobook ? Excellent listen and narrated by Pete himself.
  20. Saw him supporting Hawkwind about 10 years ago.. wasn't much impressed with either...Pyro"s were betterish..didn't have that same 70-80's feel for me..more of a Parody..
  21. I had no idea about all these different locations! Learn something new everyday on here. Thought I was awestruck staring into the windows of such shops. Given the austerity in 1946 it must have been even more magical !
  22. Love shack was in disco 2 at Rock City started roughly 1996..Nottingham Legend Rob Smith as DJ..
  23. mary1947..I have no idea if it's a Humber! I think the Vine pub was the next side street on the left out of camera shot..Had relatives that lived in this area...Newmarket.. Manchester St?
