Notts2Oz 6 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Hey everyone. I have been lurking about this forum all morning on a wet and drizzly day in Brisbane and has brought back lots of memories so I had to join and say g'day/ayup! Born in Carlton and moved down the road to Gedling when I was in my teens. Been in Oz for 4 years and miss the place like crazy so it has been nice sifting through all the posts and checking out the old photos! Cheers guys! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bilboro-lad 294 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 It's 45 years since I was last in Brizzie. Bet it's changed a bit eh? Were you in Gedling until your move to Oz? Oh and what made you move? House prices in Oz are crazy high. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carni 10,094 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Good Morning Notts2Oz, Welcome to Nottstalgia, I am a Carlton born gal, Chatsworth Ave, then moved across Westdale Lane to Gedling. I lived there until I left Nottingham for West Midlands in 1966. Have fun on Nottstalgia and I hope you enjoy and share your memories with us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trevor S 2,003 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 And why not?........ At least we have a winning team - Have you got a team together yet or are you still arguing among yourselves as to whose fault it was that you lost the Ashes? No Pommie cricket team, no Beefsteak to ridicule.......Nottstalgia ain't what it used to be! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 That's what I mean, Trevor S, you and Notts2Oz ganging up on us would be a nightmare. Unless England managed to find some decent cricketers, of course, which doesn't seem likely at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Don't forget Bazza and Stan and all the others down here.Still, what goes around comes around and it will be your turn soon. Then again................. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bazza 123 34 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Sorry guys but I support all things OZ re sport I even took out citizenship when the Poms rejected my wife as a british subject (Hong Kong girl) even though she was married to me she has no right of abode in the UK.Been keeping up to date re abuse to young orphans sent out from the UK to Christian Brothers homes,anyone remember the Big Brother movement that brought out young kids from UK ?,I came out on my own when I was 22 and was sponsored by the Lions Clubs.Now I'm 73 and drawing the Aussie pension another reason I became an Aussie felt it was the right thing to do, some Poms including my own family felt I was a traitor but I believe thats their problem.

Notts2Oz 6 Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Thanks for all the welcomes! I was living off Westdale Lane with my parents before I moved over here (Victoria Street - Where the Doctors surgery is) and before I lived there we were at Nairn Mews in Carlton. My Nan lived on Church Street and Green Hill Rise in Carlton but was born and lived in Netherfield before she met my Grandad. I still support all things English and British over here, even though I get lots of stick (Especially after the Ashes debacle!). I have my Forest sticker on the back window of the Car etc. I do miss England though, I never came over here because I disliked anything or thought the country was broken. My wife's parents moved over here a few years back and we thought it would be a bit of an adventure. I do not see myself here for the long-term. I still have elderly parents and family in Nottingham and my wife's family are in Manchester and Blackpool. Roots can be strong things! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,160 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 MY BROTHER,whos a builder is Forest mad,and he has a forest sticker on the back of his van,"a big one",and hes working in LEICESTER at the moment,i reckon hes madder than you nottsoz, lol. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Notts2Oz 6 Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I'm sure his van is the laughing stock of Leicester, with Leicester promoted to the Money League and Derby in the playoffs.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Hi, Notts2Oz, a warm welcome. I wonder where we'd be if Billy hadn't been sacked. We were firmly in the play-offs and playing well. It certainly disrupted the team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
