That’s impressive. Why were you struck of by the British Medical Association?

The centre closed down, late 1986 ( Sept. ish). Was transferred to Wath on Dearne. Got fed up driving 54 miles each way every day, so took up the offer of redundancy, ( better offer than from Eastwood Hall) !! I asked my boss where W on D was and he said " If you imagine Rotherham being the arse of Britain, then Wath is the suppository that bin pushed up it !!! "

Was you at Douglas too, Melissa? My son was there in the mid 1970s. Long before your time though. :)

 

 

I was Compo! But I was there of course later than your son. 1995! My Mum and siblings all went to Douglas Primary School too. Mum would have been there around 1960. Where was you living when your son attended?

M.J.K., I never realised Douglas school was still going as a Primary/junior school in 1995. Thought it had been taken over by some warehouse or housing group (or summat).

Compo if your reading this, I were there 1948-54. Beekay.

Beekay - I completed primary school there in 2003 I believe. It closed down around 2004/2005. It is now dedicated art studios although they recently opened it up for a heritage day. I attended and took some photos which I'll have to try and post at some point.

looks like a Yamaha FS1E Rog.

I lived on Arundel Street, near Canning Circus from late 1973 to early 1978, Melissa. [There was a pub called "The Wheatsheaf" at the bottom of the street on Ilkeston Road.]  Then moved to Gregory Street in Lenton.

Right....anyone into animal porn? Here's a photo of a pair of orb web spiders having a right old sex session in my greenhouse yesterday. I managed to catch them just as the male (smaller) was passing his sperm sac (the white thing) to the female. The good news is that when they had finished, he managed to back carefully away  and escape with his life :) For a bigger, more detailed image see the link in the next post.

Beekay: Just in case you can't see the spider photo, here's a link that should take you to it. It will also show a bigger image in more detail.
