Not seen no gallery or portraits , but on the 1st floor landing above the main entrance there's two 6/7 foot x 4/5 foot memorials the one on the left as you go to the offices is 1914-18 with probably 200 names on it & the department they worked in , on the opposite side where the dentist / doctor / nurse is there's a 1939/45 Memorial with at a guess about 300 names on it .
On Remembrance Day / Armistice Day there's always something placed in reception .

Yeah i did check for the 2 names you gave me , but they where not on there ?

The Blue Bell on Upper Parliament Street,with its nicotine-stained wallpaper, little nooks and crannies, brewery mirrors, patterned carpets and heavy chintz curtains !
Not now ! and its cleverly changed its address to Forman Street - from the flyer i had thrust into my hand by some spotty student last night.
"The Blue Bell refreshment emporium & lounge - A wonderous new establishment on Forman Street opposite Revolution @ the corner house enjoy iconoclastic food & beverages in a most unusual setting till late "

After listening every women who have just come back to work from meternity leave , every break , every tea bar , phoning there Mum , "has he ate his/her yogurt / rusk / had his/her bottle" i would give them 5 years off with full pay .

I've only seen a small clip on Jonathan Ross & no plans to see the film ( the last film i watched was back in 1984 electric dreams @ the Savoy )
But the book by David Peace was the best book i read last year , and possibly the best football book i have ever read. You really feel like you get into his head and start to feel the panic and hopelessness of his situation.
The 'dual time' mode of writing is very effective. Best chapter for me is the one where is takes his first training session and tells the players who have just won the league that they can throw their medals away!
The Trailer looks as good.

What ever happened to that WWW link that used to be @ the bottom of everyone's page ?

The Moleface Pub Company have spent a few bob on the old The Willoughby Arms/Greenhouse and is now reopened as the Wollaton Pub & Kitchen they also own the Larwood & Voce in Bridgeford & Lord Nelson Pub & Kitchen in Burton Joyce sounds very posh.
I'm just off for a stroll to see if they will let us scruffy Wollatonites in ?

Sorted now secured with 4 cap head bolts , surprisingly looking @ other cars it must be common practice to stick plates on cars .
Looking on the net there where an estimated 33,000 number plates were reported stolen during 2004. It is, however likely that the figure is much higher given the level of unreported theft.

Back on topic the Shabab Nan Kebab Pakistani Restaurant on Radford Road Hyson Green superb food you'll fill your belly for a £10 per head take your own beer .
And being in the posher area of Nottingham you should find your car in one piece on your return.

It was last Friday , i did report it , i nipped into central cop shop on the way home , she told me i would more than likely get stopped quite regularly my number would be on some number plate reader thing , i did test the theory on the Sunday daytime drove all over Nottingham with my new plates on ( valve shop £12 ) it was not until i came down London Road that a traffic copper tailed me all the way to Maid Marion Way !!!
Then he over took me !!
-
I would recommend the Bombay Brasserie on Radcliffe Road bang opposite the Trent Bridge Inn main doors .
Well tasty.
What i would not recommend is parking your car in the TBI when i came out i had been relieved of my number plates , can't believe they had been stuck on with double sided tape.

Ha ha superb stuff don't know if you remember the false leg ? That was posted to a guy who lives in Thailand his last ever visit to the Variety and Nottingham was on the last Sunday 19/12/04 , he said there there was nothing left for him in Nottingham to come back for .
So if you ever come across this site Roger that leg cost me £14 to post .

It's a pity that the Variety now makes the front page of the Evening post , when it should have made the front page on 19th December 2004 Gordon's last ever Sunday lunch time show , when there was 800 to 1000 bodies queuing up from 10 in the morning for a 12 o'clock opening . The atmosphere and warmth the club created was electrifying , when bus trips traveled from Newcastle/Portsmouth/Wales some even flew on Ryanair Sunday morning and returned later that day all for a 3 hour show , and guess what there was never one punch up or fight in 40 years of the Variety Sunday Lunch time show and had no bouncers.
A sad day a sad loss and a sad end to the last bastion of the working class .
Loads more here Variety club

Not sure if this sites been posted before ? But its very good .

The thing I miss the most about the smoking ban in pubs more than anything else is pissing a nub-end from one end of the urinal to the other.
