Re: GOOD TV

I'll be watching "The A Word" BBC1 at 9.00pm tonight.. About a family coping with a youngster who has auiism/aspergers. Not heavy but very entertaining and a young star in the making playing the little boy. Music's good as well. Nolic

Re: OLD AGE

Yesterday I saw two builders struggling to lift and carry a plate vibrater and put it in a van. When I was in my late 20's I could pick one up and carry it quite a distance with no help. Nolic

Re: OBITUARIES

Cazza, don't forget you're a bit ahead of us. Sir George Martin's passing, but what a sad loss to the country. I know of course he was 90 years old, but I can't help feeling there is now something great missing from the world! Simply put, music (The good stuff that is!) would not be the same today, ...

Re: FORGOTTEN CORNERS

A couple of us who used to go to Bethesda Youth Club braved it one night to get served in the Seven Stars tap room - I think we were 14 at the time. Two halves of mild a game on the football machine or darts , perhaps a tune or two on the juke box and then leave quietly. This became a regular though...

Re: FORGOTTEN CORNERS

Lots of carp (goldfish) in mill dams as they enjoyed the slightly warmer water. On the same vein power station cooling towers often had loads of fish in the cooling tanks below them. It only needs a couple of eggs on a birds leg to start a colony. A mate of mine was giving a quote for removing the E...

Perhaps the site should be renamed "Old Crocks from Barlick"!! I've got a troublesome back caused I think by sneezing when I had that nasty bug just after Christmas. Painkillers and Deep Heat hardly touch it. Nolic
