letsavagoo 963 Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Assuming you want to be close to Eastwood, I have heard good reports of the Nelson and Railway at Kimberley as a place to stay. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g186356-d1456696-Reviews-Nelson_and_Railway_Inn_and_Hotel-Nottingham_Nottinghamshire_England.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 This has kept me awake all night! Whatever happened to "Spot the Ball"? Was the ball ever in the picture? I heard they used a great big pin that was put though all the entries to find the center of the ball? My Granddad had a rubber stamp with 100 crosses on it. Anyone knew anyone who won oat on "Spot the Ball"? Anyone got any tactics or tips? These are things I need to know? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PeverilPeril 3,281 Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 P J Brionton? may have spelt his name incorrectly. I miss his intelligent and well researched posts. He put a few backs up because he 'was always right' - thing is, he usually was Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 It was DJBrenton, and yes, he always thought that he was right. I didn't ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Hard to speculate as to why folks disappear. There are as many reasons as there are people. I suppose some get offended or misread what someone says. Some have a question or two and just drop out. It would be easy to do when you know longer live in the country like myself. I don't have much to contribute about Nottingham. Haven't even visited since 1997. I still think Nottstalgia folks are great though and enjoy a bit of daily interaction with them. Even if we don't always agree. That's not the point. I've sure learned a lot about Nottingham that I didn't know when I lived there. I sure hope some folks haven't just died, but there's no way to know unless a relative steps in. Really just like life I suppose. We become friends with folks in different places but sometime contact is just lost along the way. Sorry for long post, I guess I'm just thinking out loud as it were. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Absolutely spot on LL. Many different and varied reasons as you say. Don't worry about your lack of current knowledge re Nottm, just keep posting from the Sunny South ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeverilPeril 3,281 Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 It is a pity that DJBrenton was not given counter arguments based on facts and research. It is called debate. He was just told to 'shut up' either because there was no counter arguments or because he was indeed 'right'. Not always right but mostly. He steadfastly defended his corner and maybe this was interpreted as being obnoxious? He was definitely 'ganged up on'. It is easy to make posts for popularity - not so easy to stand alone and take the cross fire. 8 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 I think some of the problem (If I remember rightly) was that some of the posts got quite political and we all know NSs stand on politics. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 PP, he was NOT ganged up on ! People on here have their own opinions, and mostly are not swayed by the views and opinions of others. If people frequently opposed his views, then that is their freedom of speech to do so. Maybe his opinions weren't as popular as you seem to think. Because you have similar views to him certainly doesn't make you both right ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 PP totally wrong. DJB had to have the last word everytime. When the Brexit vote was known he couldn't leave NS quick enough ! He would never accept defeat. Debate with him was futile. Actually away from politics DJB was a very decent bloke. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Whatever happened to Ian Dawson ? Loads of local Nottingham knowledge, well clued up on music & all round a good egg. Miss his posts. 6 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carni 10,094 Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Same here Lizzie. Perhaps it got a bit heated, and got closed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,466 Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Yes, I closed it. It got heated, irrelevant, and ended up with accusations and bad attitudes. Sum it up in one word - Troll. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
