I should think it was dangerous enough working on fireworks in Sparkbrook without having them in front of an open fire. ...and where's me smilies gorn?

Having no interest in football but knowing Doug was a keen angler I can only guess they're celebrating him catching that monster. Why in Y fronts is a mystery unless they had to paddle in to help him pull it out.

Yes, I can remember that treatment. It was to seal the ends of the hairs and prevent you from catching cold after the cut!!!! (so I was told on enquiry) :biggrin:

Oh yeah, I forgot to answer the bit about the HTC Desire. I've got one of those and know how to send messages to the Web but find the screen too small to use for Internet forums.

"Cut" = Highlight whatever you want to move, click on "Edit", select "cut". "Paste" = Select where you want to what paste in what you cut and click. Then clock "Edit" and select "paste". (The same goes for Copy and Paste, just substitute "Copy" for "Cut")

I'll go with that!

I never use the link icon, I just paste it in.

Rock Island Line - Lonnie Donegan.

But why the "Buccaneer" when it was part of an airport complex?

Yup, I remember Orion. I flew to Ibiza with them on a 737 around 1967. Didn't Doug Ellis have an interest in Hrizon? Does anyone remember a bar being called the Buccaneer just at the main entrance to Elmdon? I can remember doing a bit of courting there and enjoying my first British pint in...

The newer building comes nowhere to competing with the old.

The street looks a bit like Colmore Row to me - maybe where the Gaumont was built. The geezer looks like everybody's Uncle James.

I can remember being told at school that the glue we used in woodwork was made from boiling cows hooves. (One wonders what the present day glue sniffers would make of it!

Great that you had he forethought then, John. You certainly set yourself a task and I'm very glad you got as far as you did. I tried similar projects and never got half as far in an age when photography is so much easier and affordable.
