Enjoy It Oztalgian.. wouldn't be my personal preference..

I'm a Forest fan..but sad to see Nott's go out the League..hope they bounce straight back. My fear, even with a half a million parachute that quality ground is going to take some maintenance. God forbid that ground merger idea coming back to the table.

Cat & Dog food..here I come! Maybe not ..it's probably more expensive than the budget range human consumption.

Yes..the smell of that mask! was prewarned..thus I fought it..when woozy I went under..didn't lose my tonsils which explains no memory of any ice cream.

A two thirds majority, even if only decided by one vote, is more representative of opinion than a 50/50 decided by one vote.
Totally missed my point there..I remember your idea being banded about..a 66.6/33.3 starting point isn't what I consider a democracy. The referendum in political terms wasn't even close.
Whatever your opinion the people who are supposed to represent us are a disgrace.

Not their best album in IMO..but must be worth a few pennies nowadays in Ex /NM Condition.. I remember visting a shop in York where it was on the wall wanting £40 in 1989... Presumably mint if such a thing exists. Bought my copy in Leeds £3.50. very listenable & l ain't selling!

DJ360, wouldn't go as far as putting our city in a bad light..but it was a strange watch.heavily loaded activist audience ..both sides..
a smaller audience also...used to be from the Albert Hall. Haven't seen one like that since Fiona took over!

Most of us are angry and annoyed about the Brexit situation and the country is divided as much as Parliament. Without getting into politics I think that the referendum should be rerun and decided on a decisive majority, say two thirds. With the way that the referendum was set up last time the vote could have gone either way, theoretically on just one vote.
Keeping things topical did Steve Davis get the option for a re-rack after losing the 1985 snooker final on the black ball.
Theoretically the two thirds majority can still be decided by one vote. Two bills were passed in parliament relating to this..one by one vote decided by somebody wearing a tag and the other a tie decided by Burk..how.
both went through.
Maybe it could be done on Regions..out of the commonly accepted 12 other than Scotland, Northern Ireland & London.. the other 9 voted to leave.
Whatever your leanings..what bleddy mess!

The Imperial was further up St.James Street it was recently called Bla Bla Bla same lay out.
What is now the Roebuck used to have rolls & rolls of carpet stacked outside late 70s early 80s.
Remember the rolls of carpet also..there was also a period with stalls selling tie dye t-shirts, & head shop paraphernalia about 1986.

Only went in a few times..Didn't the Newshouse have outside toilets? There was always a traffic flow around the pool table!

Great memory HSR..this was a 1.40 purchase from Goldsmith Street..
The gatefold version as well!
I also have the Sunset release...which is often more valuable.
Doughnut in Grannies Greenhouse is another matter...if you are interested?
Going of at a tangent.seen T.S. loads of times. My only connection with Nott's is my Grandparents & previous generations. I have the gatefold tcftb also.
bought in Chinatown Soho..Later Signed by Tony. only visited Nott's fleetingly but attended Groundhog gigs twice at the Mardi Gras.twice at the Running Horse..solo at Bobby Browns & solo at the Yorker. A Real hard working true musician is Mr McPhee.

As I said HSR - your post:
I Got a Line On You... Spirit
What has that to do with Nottingham?
Glass houses...
Thanks for showing an interest Brew..picked up this album at Selectadisc.. Bought new 1.32p..it's regarded as being original, but a second pressing. I had the opportunity to buy the original American copy..due to limited funds I passed..other titles took preference.
Glass Houses..Billy Joel

It's in the "OWT about Nowt" and the topic is "Buses in Mexico" nobody said it was anything to do with Nottingham,they are very interesting posts from an owd Notts lad,answered by owd and not so owd Notts folk, hope this has explained it for you
Rog
Apologies I didn't realise that it was Owt About Nowt..after over an hour of looking at this site finding nothing of interest, to be greeted by Mexican Buses was underwhelming I will refrain from using the all activity feature in future.

I'm ever the optimist Rob..one thing you won't get with O'Neil is expansive football..the quality in this division is improving all the time.

Amazed that the potential for promotion has been there for so long. Agree ..with today's results no chance. I'm not sure I agree with the play offs..good chance that the third placed team could be 20 points clear of 6th this year.

Already stated my point..no reference to Nottingham or Nostalgia. Without addressing this criteria.. why post? I'm relatively new here and understand that things go off at tangents and friendships are formed but I would imagine that non Nottingham related posts are discouraging to new or potential members.

What does this have to do with Nottingham? or Nostalgia?

Thanks DavidW & Cliff Ton..I think H&G is just to the right of the picture. Fascinating..that opening has been there for some time! I think the pub was built somewhere between 1841 & 1850. Seems to be a couple of additions on that corner about then. The place I'm looking for is Rolstons (possibly Rowlstons) Yard, Wheeler Gate and I came to the conclusion ..probably wrong that it might be there.

And later a bookshop..bought a couple of doorstep Pub Quiz books there!
-
Does anybody know when the Horse & Groom Pub was built? Approx 1893 with the road widening? If so what was there previously in the 1840's/50's?

Didn't John Mills agree to meet up at the Black Boy in the Colditz film. Iv'e read Pat Read's book.. and can't recall the preference...but it was over 40 years ago!
Enjoying owt on the box lately ?

Was it the Sweeney or the The Professionals or both where the good guys always drove Ford's..The bad in something British normally Jag's? early product placement? Do recall Reagan having a white mini in one episode.
