Brew 5,378 Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 You set me thinking of the brands I've smoked over the years starting with Woodbines - Park Drive - before I realised it's quite a long list. Most unusaul were the multi-coloured cocktail ciggies and very long ones we called Joysticks. Parkies were sold in fives at one time in an open topped packet, I think they were 9d. Smoking for over fifty years I really wouldn't want to know how much they cost me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,218 Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Has anyone had a look at the top of League 1 lately? Imps at the top, Peterborough 2nd, Hull 3rd, and Doncaster 4th. If they get promoted there are going to be some interesting local derbies next season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oztalgian 3,218 Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 I used to love the storming wing runs of Tank, part of the best Forest team ever. Thanks for the memories RIP Tank 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oztalgian 3,218 Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 Yes Ben, His dad played for Forest just before and after WWII and by all accounts he was a very good footballer. Another one of the best Forest team ever gone to play with Pearly Gates Wanderers 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oztalgian 3,218 Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 I am exhausted after listening to the Stags game last night between 12:30 and 2:00am, not the outcome we all wished for. Going to do the same again tonight, it is half an hour later kick off. Let's hope the Reds can do better and gain promotion back to the Premier league. Just seen news about a crash closing two lanes southbound on the M1 between junctions 23 and 22 for the Lurgerburger area. Hope no one is seriously injured and that it does not result in people getting delayed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 Crying me eyes out @ Wembley on Sunday, crying me eyes out in Market Square Monday, still crying watching clips @ the final whistle & the celebrations, can’t help it, think I’ve gone soft? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 Awful game, but the best I've have ever been to, walking down Wembley Way with my Son wish we had sat together, my mates, the mass out pouring of joy @ the final whistle, taking my daughter & granddaughter to the Market Square celebrations the next day, if only i could bottle it & relive it again & again. This fans video & just about sums it up. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oztalgian 3,218 Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 Bit bleary eyed this morning having listened to the Forest game on BBC5 early this morning. Not the result we were hoping for but if memory serves me correctly they always found it difficult to win at St James Park. From the commentary it seems that Forest were never in the game and had done very well to hold the score at 0-0 at half time. It sounds like they gave the ball away far too often and were far from being a cohesive unit, probably due to the number of player changes. On a brighter note County thumped Maidenhead 3-0 lets hope it is a promotion year for the Maggies Stags have had a mixed start with one win and one loss, promotion for them would be good too having missed out in the play-offs. The Rams and the Imps have had pretty average starts to their seasons too. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,218 Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 Back in early 2021 i wrote in this thread that 8 of the teams shirts in the EPL are sponsored by gambling companies. This is more or less the same as it has been for the last five seasons. Teams sponsored by gambling companies are :- Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Brentford, Burnley, Everton, Fulham, West Ham and last but not least Nottingham Forest. Shame on you Reds. As yet Chelsea have not announced their shirt sponsor. Of the elite clubs in the EPL not one of them are sponsored by gambling companies, perhaps they are rich enough not to need their grubby money.
