catfan 14,793 Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 James Shipstone's grave is nearby & just as much neglected & look how much he did for this City ! Last time I went to the Rock cemetery it had hordes of junkie cave dwellers living there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

General Cemetery as well, only there's no caves. Guess they lift a few lids at night! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,470 Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 The temporary red barriers have now become solid looking lumps of concrete, and no doubt all lorry drivers will pay attention to the new warning sign. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 I am aware that this is an old thread but the title is right for my post I think. Today I watched celebrity Mastermind. One candidate was answering questions on the life and work of Watson Fothergill. She did well with all 9 correct answers and no passes. Having read posts on this site I was able to answer some of them. The other 3 candidates failed to reach 9 points even when they had done the general knowledge. A bit of a shame but very entertaining and good to see details of Watson Fothergill on TV. The winner is a florist in Nottingham who has been on the Apprentice. Well done to her! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A specialist subject of 'Things that pee you off' isn't likely to come up very often. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
