    To be honest not a good game from both teams yesterday , well done Notts I'm sure there victory will stick in there memories or a long time , like there last victory of the same scoreline , pity Notts fans seem more obsessed with Forest then embracing there new found lifeline.

    Lee "killer" Hughes when fit will score a lot of goals in this division , could not find a price for him to be top scorer in league 2 , but Notts are now 11/2 favourites , good luck to anyone who took the 40/1 on offer before the takeover.

    The Notts County turnstile operators where having kittens being used to one person every hour Forest filled every seat in the Sir Jimmy Sirrell and the other stand to the left kick off was delayed for this reason.

    Hope it does not go tits up for Notts , did speak to a few Notts lads in the Navigation before kick off that where not happy with the take over !! seems the supporters trust that saved the club gave up there shares and complete 100% control for nothing (not sure how true this is) as of yet no one knows who the new owners are and there long term intentions ?

    Not sure why half of Sunderland turn up in Hooters after the match , bad move from them .

    Nice to see Sven Still attracting the birds !

    Do you realise there aren't many youngsters would know what a blackclock is or was these days, and it's mainly a Notts expression??

    I know live in the cockroach capital of the world, southern Missouri, and we have the big American browns, plus our old black Nottinham favourite!!

    Just a little trivia....I found out recently doing a search that "Blackclock" came from a German word and spread through miners terms.....

    Still can't abide the littel critters...Yuckkkkkkkkkk

    A cockroach will live nine days without it’s head, before it starves to death.

    whaaay its gone back to normal all on one page !!

    It is a bit of a pain scrolling down past 74 different forums which 26 have less that 20 topics in ( somebody post in Bosseyed Kippers (Bosworth School)/The Cottesmore School/The Deering School/Claremont Bilateral/Secondary Modern/Firbeck School Wollaton/10's Nottingham/FAQ about use of the forums or even the NON MEMBERS POSTING AREA ) i think some of these could be dumped ?

    It's six years since I first met Ronnie Biggs in Belmarsh prison. He was a pitiful sight. After three strokes he couldn't say a word. All he could do was tap out words painfully slowly on an alphabet board. He was bent double and dribbled, and fed liquid food through a tube inserted into his stomach. Biggs was 73 then, and the notion that he posed a threat to decent people was laughable.

    I visited him with his devoted son Michael over the period of a year. Communication didn't get easier, but I did feel I got to know the man. It was strange that he was known as one of the great train robbers because if there was one thing Biggs wasn't great at, it was robbing. He was a useless robber, and that's why his accomplices had never let him on the train in the first place.

    In his time, Biggs had been crude, dishonest and foolish, but he was the ulitmate likeable rogue. How the establishment resented him for laughing in their face – for doing a runner, for revelling in the sun and fun of Rio, for lifting up a flute of champagne on the beach and crowing: "Here's looking up the Queen's skirt."

    He was convinced that's why they wanted to keep him in jail – not for his crime, but because he had made a laughing stock of the great and the good. In that sense, he argued, he was a political prisoner. Was he repentant? He wished he hadn't been caught. Has he served his time? He's done eight years in this stretch alone, at a cost of more than £2,000 a day to the taxpayer.

    My abiding memory is of his smile. On one visit, he played in blissful silence with a toddler visiting his dad. The boy was captivated. When I asked Biggs why people liked him despite his crimes and misdemeanours, he spelled out the answer: "M.Y C.H.A.R.M."
