    My Grand-daughter again !!!

    Once again our Kelsey has come up with a cracker. Lately she is going through the stage of not wanting to go to school (or leave her Mom), (she is only 5), so yesterday her Mom drove her to the school after Kelsey protested that she wasn't going, where they were met by Kelsey's teacher. Straight...

    Proud of my daughter.

    Would just like to blow the trumpet for my daughter Carol, who is studying for her HND at college in Paisley, on her photography course. She is in her third year, and is doing great. Last week we had the Mobo awards in Glasgow's SECC, so she decided that would be a great event to take pictures...

    Anyone recall ROY MARTIN ?

    Does anyone remember Roy Martin ? He was a full-back at Blues from 1950-56, playing 74 times. I was in our local Tesco car park the other day, waiting for my better half, when this old chap approached, so I wound the window down and asked if I could help him. He said he had noticed my BCFC...

    How about this ???

    OK, I know its not Birmingham sport, but did anyone notice the score in an SPL match last night ??? Motherwell played Hibernian, and the final score was 6-6. A new record for the SPL. The crowd certainly had their monies worth ther Id say.

    Chelmsley Wood.

    I have two enquiries that I am hoping the residents of Chelmsley Wood can help me with. Firstly, could anyone tell me the date that The Queen and Prince Philip came to officially open Chelmsley Shopping Centre ? Up in my loft I still have a few photos that I took that day, but in those days I...

    First Record Bought?

    Can you all remember the very first record you ever bought? Mine was "Counting Teardrops" by Emile Ford & The Checkmates. It was round about the late,50s or early ,60s. Its still in my collection, in a box somewhere. I bet we get some real right crackers here. So start picking the old brain...

    A grand night for Blues.

    I wonder how many old Blue-noses out there, recall that it is 36 years today, that Blues won promotion from Div,2, to Div.1. The match was the much talked about game at Leyton Orient, where we won 1-0, thanks to a headed goal by Bob Latchford. It was the same match that the Millwall ( so called...

    Things kids say.

    Must share this with you all, as I was in stitches yesterday whilst joining my 5 year old Grand-daughter, ( Keera ), and her friend ( Lauren ), on their way to school. Lauren turns to Keera and says, " Wouldnt it be funny if people lived under the ground ? ", to which Keera replied, " Dont be...

    The Bobcats.

    Just remembered another group from the 60s. Does anyone recall The Bobcats ? They where a group of school boys that came to the Railway Club in Dollman Street many times. They where actually very good. The Railway Club was an old haunting ground of mine, and we saw many a good group or show...

    Queens Tower

    Is there anyone out there who used to live in Queens Tower? Our family moved in to No.27 before the block was officially opened by I think Harold McMillan in 1950 something. We stayed there until we moved to Chelmsley Wood in about the early 1970s. We had some wonderful neighbours in the...

    Tubes Limited

    Does anyone remember Tubes Ltd of Rocky Lane? When I left Loxton St school in 1964 my first job was in the Production Control office there. I left after nearly 7 years, then came back 10 months later and worked in the Forging Dept for another near 7 years, before moving to my present home in...
