Nicola Sturgeon is not mentioned by name but I suppose “politicians” covers that! She is covered in two #'s Phil: Politicians and second referendums. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However, I do agree that they are really not suited to this site; they offer no Nottstalgia or any other nostalgic input which, after all, is the point of this site. 4 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brew 5,380 Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 I dont read the word games or the music threads but I really can't get my knickers in a twist about them. What is it that so upsets people? It's harmless and easily ignored if you don't like them. As for relevance, well as someone pointed out awhile ago, there would be little to read if the forum contained only local history. What happened to live and let live? 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,085 Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 I only join in one word game, mainly because it annoys someone who keeps reporting it. I'm a woman, i'm awkward like that. 7 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Well Compo that's a very comprehensive list with which I whole heartedly agree. However do you think you could now have a serious think about it and come up with a definitive list, bet I would agree with them too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,219 Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 I am not a fan of "keep one - drop one" or whatever it is called so I just ignore it. However, for me the song association thread is full of nostalgia, as a long forgotten song comes up, you play it on YouTube and it takes you back to a time and place from your past and often reminds you of friends and events. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But trans carry at least three times the passengers that a bus does & in normal circumstances faster And a bus usually diesel pollutes the cities air Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 I am biased though: Firstly I don't drive(my wife does) so if I go anywhere alone I use public transport. Secondly David Lane tram stop is only five minuets walk away & the tram is the fastest way to the city for me. I wish Basford Vernon railway station was still open I would then use the train more depending on where I was going. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And when the tram brings the traffic to a standstill, what about the pollution it causes then? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Oz, I entirely agree about the Song Association topic. I love seeing what others come up with, and it astounds me what brilliant memories folk have. I very very rarely have to Google anything, and most of my offerings come from my remaining functional grey matter. The memories these songs conjure up are priceless. Some good, sad, funny, brilliant, heartbreaking, disappointing. Every emotion imaginable. Thank God for Utube that I can relive some of those times. Long may it last. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
