It was once insinuated that people only played them to get their post counts up (the same could be said about old photos), didn’t know what that meant, I wasn’t counting my posts and could not have cared less about the number, everyone is different so each to their own. If I can trawl through numerous posts of old photos (don’t need reminding about the poverty we grew up with I lived in it) then surely you can trawl through the word games as well. I am going to have a break from the site (don’t think I will be missed as I don’t post that often now and it will be one less in the word games), I will probably have a look now and then to see what is going on if the site is still here. Don't give up Staverton Girl..keep posting in the song association thread..& More!! I occasionally post myself..I used to be in a music forum that had a similar game..wrote some passible songs between us..after throwing them out.ala..Bowie Style! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 ID, you mentioned it initially. You made comments last autumn about being broke, and you now mention a Spanish Purchase. How can that be my fault ? Everyone else reads most things you know ! You cannot expect to post personal details, then stick your arms up in horror if anyone else mentions them. 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
letsavagoo 963 Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 I used to come on this forum quite often but don't so much now but do like to look in now and then. Reading through this thread is like listening to my grandchildren arguing. I can see there is a history to this and yes, I'm not privy to that history so in a way shouldn't stick my nose in but can we not all just enjoy this forum and respect each other. Why not call a truce. Ian has said he won't make any more political jibes so can we not leave it at that. Please. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,411 Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 It's a bit like telling the world of illegal activities and then crying foul when someone happens to mention it! It's not big and it's not clever....... 5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Then why be hypocritical, and moan if he's reminded of his posts. I haven't a clue how to quote, or I would have. I've a good memory though. If folk don't want stuff common knowledge, then don't post it. Quite frankly, a lot of members are fed up to the back teeth of folk being over sensitive when reminded of previous posts. It's as though they despise even the of mildest criticism. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nonnaB 4,895 Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Nottingham is full of other things besides photos and pubs. Its full of people who like to live a peaceful life and post interesting things . Maybe its not interesting to others but they always get a response. Nottingham does have a lot to offer. People, who work in hospitals, community service (the right side of it) people who listen , people who talk, are they happy, sad , rich or poor, they have families and are maybe struggling to raise their children. People who help others. Aren't they more important than finding fault and commenting unnecessarily about simple posts. 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fogrider 179 Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 May I remind members that this site was set up by someone at his OWN EXPENSE and in his own time, is maintained at his own expense in his own time to explore and take pleasure from the history of the city and it's people, the heritage, the memories .It is not a juke box on free play. Bickering , unpleasantries and frivolous nonsense that should be on facebook or twitter should not be on here mis-using this wonderful resource. Please respect our generous host !

Willow wilson 894 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 My guess is that it's on North Circus street opposite Albert Hall and facing Derby road (going left to right across the picture where the horse is). The east end of Nottingham St Barnabas Cathedral on the left behind the wall. Those buildings across Derby Rd were all demolished when Tollhouse Hill was developed. The buildings far in the distance were demolished when Wollaton st was developed. The kiosk; there is a modern phone kiosk there now. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
