I went to a 'sixth form residential week' at Nottingham Uni in about 1976. I remember the desolate, windswept, concrete buildings. There was a big storm and trees were falling down on the path in front of us walking back from the physics lecture theatres to the residences. I expect it might be a bit different now, 45 years later! 150 the number of shelves of books my mother thinks she is going to move single handedly in recycling bags when she moves. It's getting on for 4000 litres of books. (She won't listen to reason and stump up for professional removal firm to do the packing. Next time I go over, I'm going to make her just try one shelf of books and see how well that works.) Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Mar 27, 2021 |

My first choice of uni was Nottingham, as it was doing a course on Artificial Intelligence that I fancied doing. Didn't get the grades, didn't invent skynet and not ruling over you all.

Stop dissing my home city  I just wish they'd demolish Broadmarsh already, and build something nice to replace it (and not student flats like every other building project lately).

the drunkest I ever got was in Nottingham on a friend's stag do, thanks to jelly shots at Cucamara I got out of a taxi at a big junction because I was going to puke everywhere (so I've been told, I don't remember a thing) and it drove off because there was a massive queue behind. I still have utterly no idea how I got back to the B&B we were staying in, not knowing what it was called and having never been to Nottingham before so I couldn't give directions

If anyone is old like me and wants a blast from the past, some one who will go down in legend has bought the building where the pink flamingo used to be during lockdown, has turned it back into a bar, and the theme is 2 for 1 on drinks.

They've demolished the car park and were in the middle of renovating the whole thing when the company that owned it went bust The city council has taken over the site but is hilariously broke due to setting up a council owned green energy company which went bankrupt so we'll see what happens

I had the AZ stab a while back, thought it was no biggie as I was alright the rest of the day and evening then felt like utter poo poo for three days. Also felt like I lost a dead arm contest the whole time. Should be getting lined up for the second one soon so that should be fun.

I went to Nottingham Rock City for a gig, and afterwards had a kebab. They put rice in their kebabs in Nottingham. That's bad. That's my Nottingham story.

They were good. ooooooooooooo did you do The Widdershins Jig - we did that at the Astoria (London, not Nottingham) - the whole place erupted and we were all in a big circle doing it. That one and Moongleam and Meadowsweet (for my soppier moments) are my favourite songs by them (though I sometimes worry a little about the lyrics in the latter - my notion of England having been somewhat tarnished by the right). (That was almost 30 years ago ... doesn't seem like that at all. I feel old LOL) Soppiest, wettest pagan thrash metal song ever.

forkboy84 posted:I'm sorry, Musical Tottie? Violinist was the rumour doing the rounds last summer. That chart is woefully inadequate, if Ms Arcuri's story about their affair being 4 years is anything to go by. Also, Boris doesn't seem like someone who restricts himself to double-dipping, if you'll excuse the crude metaphor.

I still think my wife is only with me because most people are shockingly awful and she's at least content and all the mazlow's hierarchy stuff is basically sorted. Plus if she ever really was bored I'd support her to go do whatever with whoever anyway because /shrug. Love her to bits and being possessive is boring.

At this point I've realized that "do you think human rights are optional?" is such a deep dealbreaker I should have started with that, every time. Eh. I figure starting with "I don't date racists" would work powerfully for a filter on one of those dating apps.

"Because", I said, "that's the line I always use when I dump someone - 'getting back with my ex'. I had some notion back then that it was the kindest way to dump someone because everyone knows you can't compete with an ex.. (Actually I've never got back with an ex, I always make sure I'm 'off with the old before on the with the new' but most people don't seem to operate like that.)
