Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 I've had email contact with Ben. He's perfectly ok, but has decided to take a short break from Nottstalgia. He assured me he will return before long, and continue where he left off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,094 Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 To all, your help is required...... Does anyone know of a decent B+B in the vicinity of Wollaton Hall. We are attending a wedding on the 7th May and the reception is at Wollaton hall. Reception in the Camelia house and wedding breakfast in the Great Hall. It would only be for a couple of nights, coming up on the 6th and leaving on the 8th. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. B. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 There’s a Travel Lodge on Priory roundabout (Derby Road) Beekay.  That might be the closest accommodation for you.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,594 Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 We have stayed a couple of times  in the 'Riverside Travelodge ' which had a restaurant next door.  It was just off the A52 I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 I think that will be on Queens Drive Margie, alongside the river.  I’m surprised Lord Willoughby isn’t offering accommodation for Beekay in his private apartments, he’s a King after all.  2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,594 Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Lizzie, I've just looked it up and that's the one. Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,094 Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Going back to useful presents.....Take note, Brew and Ian Finn. Spent on 'er indoors again today. This time it were a new tooth for her top plate. Last Thursday, whilst eating a fish finger, a tooth came adrift and she advertantly swallowed it. Cost me £50.00 to replace and I assume they glued it in place. So that's a frying pan, a tin opener, a car, a new washer and now a tooth. Don't tell me I don't live the high life. Nowt's too good for 'er. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob.L 1,084 Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Surely, if she swallowed the tooth, you could have retrieved it once it had passed through her digestive system? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,094 Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Leave it out Rob. Would you? Always assuming she didn't ingest it. Lost ! One tooth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeverilPeril 3,268 Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Today was the first day that I have felt reasonably well following a week with a heavy cold. Not had a cold for years and can't remember one as bad as this. Several LFT's proved negative. Anyway, yesterday and today I wrote a short story, intended for juniors, for our club magazine. It is entitled The Enchanted Trout and is about 3 trout who are on a mission to help our Planet. Our club chairman liked it so much that he wants more instalments, so it is becoming a trilogy. I even did a steady 70 minutes on the bike and rower, so things are looking up. Life is good  4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IAN FINN 792 Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Her teeth are like the stars they come out at night. Take note Beekay it cost me 3000 dollars to have the wifes own teeth veneered so no chance of them coming out at night. Not sure if they are made of wood or not.Dont forget to put your teeth in Jeyes. Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,712 Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 I had a jolly day today. I offered my youngest a Keter Garden Storage Box that I am replacing with a small shed. Thing was.. I had to get it apart. Mostly just a few screws, but the key is to separate a couple of parts which click together.  Took a couple of hours of cursing, prising and tugging, but finally did it. Then all bits jet washed, drained and left in the garage overnight to dry. I'll take it over there tomorrow and reassemble.  Of course once I told her I was jetwashing stuff..she decided it might be nice if I jetwashed her patio too... Me and my big mouth...

philmayfield 6,089 Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 When my dentist fitted my crowns and bridges he used a two pack adhesive and that was over 50 years ago. They've never come off and I would image adhesive technology is much more advanced today. My wife has been instructed to have them removed when I die to recover the gold!   Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,094 Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 When we were on holiday in Switzerland, during breakfast one morning, one of wifey's teeth came off the top plate after biting a crusty roll. Understandably, she was rather distressed and said she wouldn't go out. I told her it was no big deal as it wasn't a front tooth. I ended up walking up the road to the local supermarket and bought some superglue and stuck the offending tooth back into place. Never gave any thought as to whether it were poisonous or not. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,424 Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Had my first crown ever, yesterday. Temporary until next week when they should have the permanent one ready.  It has repaired an old molar that the school dentist filled sixty odd years ago. Filling finally broke and could not be repaired. Maybe I'd better look for some Araldite, just in case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,378 Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-59987935  Making no comment about innocence or guilt because I simply don't know. Andrew seems to be convicted before having been tried. I thought it was innocent until proven guilty. Even Harold Shipman wasn't stripped of his title until after he was convicted.

Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Trial by media these days. The sleazier, the better.  The Plaintiff, as I understand it, was quite happy to accept large amounts of money from the perpetrator, Epstein. Not only that, she was quite willing to introduce her young friends to him, lured by the promise of yet more money. She knew what would befall them. Should there not be some case brought against her for her actions?  Another hefty payment was accepted to buy her silence. Now, it seems, she will want more than a substantial financial settlement because she wants to be 'vindicated'. Personally, I would want to see an abuser shown up and shamed for what they had done (if, indeed, they had done it) but I would not accept a penny from them. Such money would be tainted and I wouldn't touch it.  Who has done what, or otherwise, only they know. More than the accused looks dodgy to me. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
