    MUSIC/TV/FILM QUIZ

    This was published in the Daily Mail over Christmas. We had a great deal of fun with it. Some very easy and some take a great deal of thought. The Long Haired Sergeant Major and I scored about 30 each. Have fun. Nodd KD.

    sayings

    My wife calls me honeybun ocasionally but I believe that is more to do with the mad rabbit of Westward TV fame than anything to to with Brummie sayings. She is a Maid of Kent so Brum speak is a mystery to her! ;) ;)

    Birmingham (or very close by) pubs that you would have liked to visit.

    I would've enjoyed visiting the Belgrave pub in Balsall Heath. Spent many hours outside drinking pop whilst my Dad was inside supping with his twin brother. Never made it inside;always intended to. One of those things that never gets done until it's too late. :confused: NoddKD

    Harry lucas school

    Reading of this school has reminded me of the after school club that was run a couple of times a week.

    Superstitions

    I always greet a single magpie. As a nipper I always held my collar if I saw an ambulance and recited "touch my collar,never swalla (swallow) hope I never go in one of those". Then only let my collar go when I saw a four legged animal. The world has not ended so it must work. :) :);) NoddKD...

    Farm street infants and juniors.

    Not little old me.:( From Martin's posts I think I arrived at Farm St School as he was leaving. To be honest I can't recall being in a photograph like this at anytime in the school. I vaguely recall photos being taken at some point in the Nativity when I played Joseph! I would like to see THAT...
