Sadly I have a strange feeling the turtle we spotted along with another 5/6 boats surrounding it may have been tethered to the sea bed, the trip did stipulate money back if no turtle spotted? 

 

Gutted I was not in attendance @ the City Ground last night been getting pictures & videos sent to me all day, I've always enjoyed a pitch invasions.

 

Checked Nottingham to St.Pancras @ half time £57 return. This morning £71 booked.

poor turtle….. I don’t know if you were joking but it may well be the case that it was staged somehow. - 
perhaps a tame one which is fed regularly by the boat people?

It's entirely possible, they have a weird way of getting oxygen when submerged and can stay under water for hours at a time depending on temperature.

The day started with the three-yearly mammogram! Bad enough but I've had a very painful left shoulder for the last two weeks after, presumably, pulling a muscle gardening.  So, I didn't want to hear, "I'm just going to put your arm up here.....!". Arrrrrgggggghhhhhh!

, Bulwell seems to be some kind of time-warp where no-one gets older and the past is always there.

Thats certainly true cliff ton in my case...........I've lived and lodged all over our pleasant land....but never found anywhere else like it............probably because all my larger family and friends originate there......

              It still holds surprises for me in the people i ''Bump into''....and their sense of humour is unique........even most of the old buildings are still there......which cause many lovely memories..of work and play.......

            Me and my favourite cousin are now the oldest in our bloodline........she still lives in Bulwell..........and over coffee a few weeks ago both said we want to finish up in Bulwell cemetery.......in about 50 years time.........:)

So what's wrong with Brut ? Its quite a palatable drink with petit fours. Or a cheese and onion roll.

Don't drink a lot Phil., I spill most of it. Especially when drinking out of camping stoves. :cheers:

Jill,

My dad always splashed on the Old Spice at Christmas. Certainly one of those aromas that takes me back.

Avon's Blue Blazer and Occur do the same for me.

Put on the right music and perfume/aftershave, close your eyes and  it's the nearest thing you'll get to a time machine.

Yes, Mess, that's true. At too concentrated a strength, Old Spice can literally take your breath away and the same goes for Avon's Occur!  In the late 60s, my sister was an Avon lady for a couple of years. Occur was Avon's equivalent of Marmite. People either loved it or detested it! It's not one of my favourites.

 

Mum used to wear Helena Rubinstein's Apple Blossom, which is very pleasant. I was a fan of Mary Quant's Havoc which had a very distinctive aroma. No longer produced. Better than carbolic soap! Smells of school!

My daughter bought me Old Spice a few years ago, it was so rank I think it's fake, it's still in the cupboard. Any perfume or fragrance used in excess is a no, no, yet some seem oblivious to the noxious cloud around them.

Perfume should be subtle, not a punch between the eyes.

 

Back in the day I had Aramis and Givenchy, still in the cabinet, but almost never wear it now. I think like many fashions wearing aftershave has had its day.
