  1. I've been with Startrescue for a number of years and because I've never had to use their services I got a small discount. I renewed last month and my premium went from £49 to £61 because my car is now 10 years old and is now more likely to break down.
  2. When Cliff Richard came we thought it was going to be a concert. When we found it was a religious thing we didn't bother going. To us young lads, Miss Amery was a bit of a cracker!
  3. I'm not a big fan of Devo but Mongoloid just does something for me. Echo Beach would be in one of my other top tens.
  4. They're both in my record cupboard and still playable.
  5. I helped my mother clear her loft and we found a copy of the Jailhouse Rock e p and Hound Dog/Don't Be Cruel on a 78 disc.
  6. Ten of my favourite songs: A Song For Europe - Roxy Music See Me, Hear Me - The Who The Golden Void - Hawkwind Mongoloid - Devo A Love So Beautiful - Roy Orbison White Punks On Dope - The Tubes For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her - Simon and Garfunkel Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd Fire On High - E.L.O Pyjamarama - Roxy Music
  7. One thing that came as a bit of a shock to a football mad youngster like me was that the school only played rugby union and cricket.
  8. Ghost Town - The Specials
  9. There's A Ghost In My House- R Dean Taylor
  10. I passed mine in 1970. We were living near Middlesbrough at the time and I went to Eston grammar school. There were a few of us from the same class in the juniors who passed the exam. I spent a year there before moving to Sheffield through my dad's job.
  11. The missus and me visited Enver's recently and the food was very good.
  12. To cut down on my working hours and to increase my fishing hours.
  13. It may well have been a polecat but it also could have been a mink. There are quite a few along the River Don and a coarse fishery in your area has permission to set traps for mink in order to protect fish stocks.
  14. It's good to see you back on here Mr. Hinks, hope you are keeping well.
  15. I've just turned 64 and I can't wait to retire. I reduced my working hours last year and plan to reduce them further some time in the near future.
  16. I've been off work for the past month recovering from surgery and i've made the most of this lovely weather by going fishing four or five times a week.
  17. You need to live in S4,5 or 6 to obtain a permit. Proof of address is required along with a current rod licence and a passport type photo. The cost is £60 for the first season ( joining fee, permit + gate key ) then currently £25 thereafter. Permits can be obtained at the pond Sat/Sun mornings 10 - 12 during April. It's a mixed fishery and they can be caught on a variety of methods and baits.
  18. In my teens and early twenties I had really thick, naturally curly, shoulder length blonde hair. Female relatives and friends were envious of my locks, they would say it would cost them a fortune at the hairdressers to get the same result. Unfortunately, time has taken it's toll as my hair is now silver and there isn't much of it.
  19. I went with my parents a couple of times to the Pontins at Brixham in the mid 70s. We used to set off on the friday night, get so far down then try to have a kip in the car before continuing the next morning. Last year, the missus and me spent a few days in Brixham and had a walk along to where the camp was, it's now a housing estate.
  20. We had a councillor living on our street and whenever we had snow it would get gritted. However, since the said councillor moved away this hasn't happened. There was a grit bin on the street but i'm not sure if it's still there.
