Frank 13 Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Me and the missus met at the Palais, upstairs in the small bar area (?) to the right. Fancied her mate at first but as she was taller than me so I didn't say owt! Remember the revolving dance floor in the Bali Hi? and the live band upstairs? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Craig Strongman 13 Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Met mine when she was the PR girl at Madisons, (now Mode) corner of Wollaton st and Goldsmith st. She came down to Trent's ofices to ask for a presenter to sit on the panel of judges for "Miss HMS Nottingham" The relationship didnt happen though until a while after when i was guesting as the club DJ, and nursing a broken heart from some cow, that was when i asked her out, all those years ago!

katyjay 5,085 Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Met my husband in May 1967 at the Bowling Alley. He was in a team, I worked p/t behind the bar. Our first date was a Forest match, I'd never been to one before, and wanted to go the Trent End. Boy was that a mistake! I was pushed and shoved and whacked by stray hands going up to cheer. I spent the whole match giving folks dirty looks! LOL 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 I met Mary through an internet dating service - "Match.com" It worked great for a couple of old(er) folks - a hell of a lot better than hanging around bars - there are only young "chicks" in the bars! LOL! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LOL! Was that remark a dig at me Eric mate… B) I would have you know I like young Chicks in bars the problem is they are not interested in old roosters unless I have paid up front first . Ok wipe the tear from your cheek and put away the violins I’m not complaining just making an observation. The women I do attract now are either to old with a Zimmer frame stowed away under the table or fat and wrinkly and smell of cat pee or carbolic soap. I'll have a look at that web site Eric. Bip.

Beefsteak 305 Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Think your self lucky BIP ;even in my younger days the only women I seemed to attract always had excess baggage in tow (usually 2) if you know what I mean and one of them was invariably half cast. I consider my self very lucky ,in that Tracey was only 22 when we met ,(I was 35) no excess baggage but she was divorced!!!!!!!!!! LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Nah, not a dig at you Bip! You hang around bars for the right reason (I think), i.e. to consume your beloved "Harvest Pale"! I, too, have never had any luck finding suitable ladies in bars - or even night clubs. Seems they always come in two's, and unless you have a blind mate willing to occupy the ugly one, you are stuck! The phrase when I was at college (in Stoke-on-Trent) was "I don't fancy yours, but mine's not bad!" By the way, I make beer too! Like you, my brewing seems to be somewhat seasonal, mostly focussed in October/November - and I also prefer the lower alcohol beers. I brew a pretty decent "ordinary" bitter but have had no luck at all with mild. I usually keg my beer (5 US Gallons at a time) but have made a "Cherry Stout" flavored with cherry extract, that I bottled and was a very popular hand-out at work around Christmas!

I used to play in the bowling leagues, and enjoyed it too - but eventually it became very expensive. IIRC, at its opening in the early 60's the Barker Gate bowl was [at 48 lanes] the biggest in Europe. Is it still in use? Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
