Merry Christmas Stanley and all at One Guy. Nolic

Good morning Stanley. Nolic

I have been reading Harry Bingham's "Fiona Griffiths" novels. She is a South Wales detective with a very different approach to crime and investigation that stems from her teenage struggles with Cotard's Delusion - a rare mental illness that makes sufferers belive they are dead. If you want...

Apparently Bewes told the press that Bolam's wife was pregnant. Bolam saw this as a breach of trust and never had anything more to do with him for 40 years. As you say Comrade very sad. Nolic

Rodney Bewes the posher half of the Likely Lads aged 79. Pity there was a 40 year feud between him and James Bolan. RIP Nolic

I don't think the M and S advert with Paddington will do them any harm. Lots of little ones nattering mums and dads. Nolic

RIP Charlie T. Wilbury Jr., You can now play along with Roy and George again. Nolic

Many thanks Wendy. You're a star. Nolic

Thanks Comrade. I will pass this on. Nolic

I have been asked by a friend if I know anything about The Rainbow in Barlick that was a dance hall. I'm sorry I have no more information. Any help much appreciated. Nolic

Wendy, this might be what she read. Nolic

My wife told me last night whilst she was on the PC, not sure which site she saw it on. I similarly cannot find any reports. Can you please remove it until I know for certain. Thanks, Nolic

Wendy. My wife mentioned it whilst on the PC last night. Not sure where she read it from. I'm going to remove it as I've checked and no other reports. Nolic

Loved Jerry when I was young. RIP. Nolic

Glenn was a very talented guitarist who played for many top artists in session, including Frank Sinatra and Elvis. He then became one of the Beach Boys before setting off on his country music career. RIP Glenn. Nolic

Mention of birds transporting seeds reminds me of a welder friend of mine who was asked to dismantle and remove the old EWS tank from a flat roof at John Cotton's Mill at Waterside in Colne. He went up and had a look and came down and asked the manager what he was going to do with all the fish insid...

Hewyl Bennett died yesterday aged 73. An actor tipped for real stardom in the 60's but never fully realised it.

When I was at Rainhall Road school in the 50's and early 60's we had our meals prepared there and brought to school mid morning in big aluminium containers. The food was not good and it was usually lukewarm at best. A total contrast at Ermysted's where the food was cooked and served in a Nissan hut ...

Memories are creeping back Comrade. Was Harry a bit of a spiv during the war? If its the man I'm thinking of my dad disliked him intensely probably because of black market dealings. He once came down Garden Street in a big flash car, knocked my bike over and crushed it. He said it was my fault for l...

I do visit the site daily but when I think about it you're right Maz. Nolic

Nice tribute to Adam West in Los Angeles the other night when they shone to bat signal off some of the sky scrapers. Nolic

Comrade, it is harrowing but I think a reasonable portrayal of what youngsters go through in these situation. Rochdale police and social services should hang their heads for the way in which the treated these young girls. I know the woman who went in to try to sort the mess of children's services ou...
