Hi plaintalker NOT ALL men are the same, you are unfortunately one of the unlucky ones. I feel sorry for you... I met my girl in 2002 she is now my wife and we are even more in love nowas we were when we first met. She too had been married 3times to blokes who tret her badly, oe was even violent to her. She is the best thing that ever happened to me. Hope your new guy treats you really well as you sound like you really deserve a good bloke in your life. Best of luck jauntyone

Hi Riffraff I Can remember that Dave O'brien got married to Val, then he went to Austrailia to work. I don't know if he ever returned to the UK. Would be nice to know, especially if I could contact him as we were really good mates. I still have a photo of Dave and myself which was taken in a night club we used to frequent many moons ago... cheers for info riffraff

hi phailig thanks for buggies other name, being trying to remember it for ages. do you know if he's still living on lowedges??? I seem to remember some of the names of people who went in the maggie, but its that long ago can't recolect faces. cheers matey for info

Hi phailig Yep I remember Jim Ogden and Alan, used to knock around with Jimmy O. As you said,Jimmy was a good bloke but Alan so different. I remember Bob Wragg, we used to call him Bert. Haggis, Well I knew him but never trusted him, just something about him. We used to all meet up in the Maggie on a Sunday evening, from there we used to go to the Norton and quite often on to the Greyhound in Dronfield. We also used to go to Coal Aston, cross Daggers, and a few other pubs there. Do you remember Buggsie, (Graham) can't for life ofme think of his surname. There was also az, Dave Ladler, Phil Howard, & Geoff Bruce. Dave O'Brian was also a very good friend of mine,I used to work with him at a place called Stephenson Blakes. I knew his girl friend, Val, now his wife,such a lovely girl. Dave also had a brother called, Pat. Cant'nt think of anymore. Cheers for the info jauntyone.

Hi Riffraff Thanks for the reply to my thread about Dave O'Brien. It would be the same one, he also had a brother called Pat. The last I hered of him was back in the 70's when he decided to go and work in Austrailia, just after marrying a gairl called Val. I just wondeered if you knew where he was know. I also remember a guy who hung around with us in the magpie called, Chris Morton....... Cheers matey

I Stand corrected then matey, just shows you that you can't tell a book by its cover. I never thought Jimmy would turn out to be a woman basher. Cheers for that info matey.

hi hagardriley you obviously did'nt know the ogdens then, especially one called jimmy/ he was areally good bloke but if you wronged him you certainly new about it.

Hi Johnh I used to live at Lowedges in the late 60's.I drank very often in the pubs you mentioned. I can Az and Haggis, we were good buddies, there was also Dave Ladeler, Chris Morton,Phil Howard, Geoff Bruce and Dave O'Brien. Have lost track of all them now, but if you know wherebout of any mentioned please let me know. cheers matey.

He should have been given a life time driving ban and sent to jail for at least 10 years. The scum bag.

Intereting reading about the sasperella bar near the old abbeydale cinema. I used to go in there on a weekly basis with my friends for a pint of the stuff, used to love it. During the summer months we would stand outside with pint glass in hand looking really cool, mind you we were about 10 or 11 at the time. It was also a meeting place for our gang. Happy times

hey chuffinel I remember offering to clean sides of heeley baths and getting an extra free session. It was in the 60's tho. Do you remember the sweet shop on the opposite side of the road, just a little house made into a shop?? We to would walk up through Tyzacks passage way, as we lived on little london road. Spent many an hour playing on the river sheaf, how we did'nt get infected with something but we were tough in those days.

Hi gingercat1 I was in the army cadet force around the same time as yourself, 271 field artillery at edmund road. I was private Garbutt, I went on to be corpral. I went on a lot of weekend camps like the ones at Strensil, they were really great. I remember a really good friend of mine was a lad called Lambert, he went on to be Sargent. After the cadets I went on to join the TA's, we went to the big L7o's, anti aircraft guns, firing range at Manobeer,(think thats how they spell it), had some really good time there. The last camp I went on was in South Wales, Tenby,. I had a brill job toward the end of my service, I worked in the offices mess, waiting table and working the bar at the big functions, good times. Hope to here from you gingercat1
