You could put your painting talent to use, doing those chalk paintings (chalkings!) on pavements and get a few bob for your efforts, no expenses=100% profit, just stay below your tax allowance and its win win. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,160 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Did think of graffiti but the cliffs are 500 feet high and I don't have a ladder long enough. PS. Put a couple of pictures on Beekay's pictures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Waddo 921 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Should have given me a call, could have put some 'jack ladders ' up for you, no limit to height with them!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,160 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 We have some wonderful views down here SG. Never bothered before as they aren't Nottingham related, plus the fact I've only just mastered the art of posting pix. B. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Look at Compo's photos from Scotland; Scotland isn't near Nottingham, but he used to live here. That's a good enough excuse. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,160 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Great CT. !!! That gives me loads of confidence and I will do my utmost to produce stuff of interest. ( Still not found any bu99er who went to boulevard school though... Tongue still in cheek). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BK this forum is ostensibly about our memories of Nottingham but it would quickly pall if that was all that was allowed. It has, whether we like the term or not, morphed into a social media site, a localised version of Facebook if you will. Here we can laugh, tease, cry, commiserate and even teach each other something occasionally The spelling, grammar and syntax is not always perfect, the subjects not always interesting but conversely that’s what makes it interesting. Posters post what they like, the pity is some get all mardy arsed when they don’t get the reaction they seem to think they deserve. Plantfit, Catfan, Compo and DJ have at times posted really good photos, absolutely bugger all to do with Nottingham but they always attract ‘likes’ because they are appreciated so you carry on mate and more power to yer elbow. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MargieH 7,607 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 @Beekay as the subject of chalk has been brought up, perhaps you can 'touch up' (in the nicest possible way!) the Long Man of Wilmington..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,160 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Margie my understanding is , that a lot of it now is concrete. Thought of doing my own up there, something like Andy Capp. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,604 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Talking of chalk drawings, I took these pictures in front of York minster on the footpath Rog 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,422 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 It's good but it looks like it's drawn on a cloth not chalked on the floor. There was a lass named Alice who used to actually draw on the pavement in Nottingham near St Peters, she was also brilliant... wonder what became of her.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,160 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Plantfit, thought I'd put these on just as a matter of interest. It is the ceiling of the Church of English Martyrs, over at Goring. It is an exact 1/3 replica of the sistene chapel, stroke for stroke. A member of the congregation visited and asked his church council for permission to reproduce. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Noticed my neighbour painted a number on his wheelie bin yesterday, spilt some on his block paving, bugger should have sealed it, off to get a picture.
