Oh good god - I love the place, it's just when folk ask us where we come from hubby says his bit about the Lakes, the Old Man of Coniston right outside the door of the 10 billion yr old quaint stone built cottage and then it's my turn:
"Nottingham."
I grew up in Sneinton, then WB then back to Sneinton and finally got really brave and moved to Carlton - 1 mile from Sneinton. I'm your genuine article back-street urchin (with a posh bit in the middle forced on me by wannabe posh parents).

Ullswater Lake is 20 minutes from my front door.

I lived in Sneinton for a while - Pullman Road. I am in W Bridgford now. And I've lived in Aspley, Broxstowe, Radford, Bulwell and a few other places down the years.
I am trying to organise a forum meet-up in Nottingham in March - It will happen - but it might only be me that turns up!

I grew up on Sneinton Hermitage where my parents ran a DHSS boarding house and cafe, the kind where men slept six to a room! Then Colwick Road before the WB bit. When I moved back to Sneinton I lived in 3 different houses all on Finsbury Ave!
Mind you I was a groom for almost a decade so I've lived the country life too, often more so than hubby because it was my living.
It'd be nice to have a meet up near by but I probably still couldn't come because of the munchkin. These days we play Scrabble of a night (I love that too). There'd have to be a few of us though!

If Alan Rickman plans to attend I'll be there!

Welcome. I'm Normal. Nevermind all the cheese talk. It's a hang-up some of the members of the clique have. Just ignore them and laugh at things that are funny for real.
Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

The clique has no members. There is no clique. I didn't make this post and you didn't read it. You have been warned.

Nothing beats tomboys.

And I for sorrow sung,
That such a king should play bo-peep,
And go the fools among.

thy fool to lie: I would fain learn to lie.

Flippin' Aida! I didn't notice how many other replies were here! I feel welcomed with brass knobs on *waits for pun reply*.
LPN - yep she's 100% tomboy. There were a couple of 11 yr old lads from her childminder at the park and they had a 3rd friend with them. Freya started to climb up the slide (not the steps) and the 3rd lad said "She can't get up there, she's a baby!" the two lads got all snotty with him and told him Freya will do it - I was SO proud, I mean 11yr old lads don't usually stick up for baby girls, let alone suggest they are stronger than their friends think! (And... yup, she did it)
