Nottingham Forest Discussions

Well the proposed new footbridge has miraculously grown into a new tram and footbridge with a tram station at the end. So who's going to foot the bill? And why wasn't it discussed at the planning meeting, seems to me that Rushcliffe council are using Forest to pay for all their projects at little or no cost to them.

Mr M should tell them to stick it and not be held to ransom by one of the richest councils in the country. end of the day it would be cheaper and make more economical sense to build away from them.

Give him his due, he's a great orator. 🌳.

Mind you, so was that little German fella with the dodgy tash. 🤣.

I've seen alot of footage of Adolf RRH and have always failed to see the much vaunted oratory skills. Too hysterical and ranting, the very opposite of Churchillian who spoke with restraint and dignity. He never raised his voice either, just under stated firm certainty.

Unlike Hitler, great comic timing and good humour.
Have a look at his speech to the Canadian Parliament regarding Goebbels claim that Germany would " wring that chickens neck” in reference to GB.
" Well, here we are several years later.
Some chicken.some neck.”
Just brilliant.

Gobbells done all of hitlers talking stokey. or however he's spelt.

02 Oct 2026 18:53:55
Just because you didn't rate him, doesn't mean his words weren't able to rally an entire country behind him and his values(by the way I'm not endorsing the Austrian tanker in any shape or form). 🌳.

Always a strange one to me winter 🫢 they put full on luftwaffe planes against us. Battle of Britain absolutely unbelievable heroism and never for me to be found again. Reason. Hitler had no doubt we'd blow their navy outta the park. What happens now ? Dinghys swarm us bud.

03 Oct 2026 19:18:21
Barbed wire, thats as simple as the solution is.🛶 💥 💨.

RRH Hitler was undoubtedly charismatic. I recently read "!Travellers in the Third Reich” by Julia Boyd, a brilliant book about tourists in Germany between the Wars ( people forget that Germany was basically undamaged during WW1 as the fighting and destruction was mainly in France and Belgium). Apart from starvation caused by the British Naval blockade which went a long way to their defeat.
One of the accounts was by a Bournemouth GP, his wife and 3 or 4 daughters who took a walking holiday on the beautiful Bavarian Alps, Up in the hills they met Adolf Hitler, walking with a friend, no security etc.

He was warm and friendly and posed for what we would today call a selfie with the Doctors family. The photo is re produced in the book and later framed in the Surgery Waiting Room until our country was at War when the local Bobby popped in and advised him to remove it, which he did.
There are loads of accounts of what a personable and appealing man he was from everyone from Lloyd George and the Mitford right through to ordinary tourists.
He was, certainly initially, the velvet glove but behind him was the Iron Fist of the SA ( later the SS), with the Holocaust just around the corner.

Bowie, it was the other way round mate. German Blitzkreig tactics ( incidentally first thought of by Captain Liddell Hart, a Brit but ignored by the British) needed control of the air to fend off the all powerful Royal Navy for long enough to float an Army across the Channel then supply it. Much like D Day in reverse. The German Navy ( apart from subs) was tiny. One small Aircraft Carrier (which never left port ) and a few pocket battleships used as raiders on British merchant ships). You can't transport an army in submarines.
We won the Battle of Britain by superb organisation, the invention of radar and the build up of key aircraft such as the Hurricanes ( and far superior but far fewer in number ) the Spitfire. Like the Harrier jump jets in the Falklands ( developed at Hucknall) a war winner against superior numbers.

Plus the rescue services of downed pilots ( Includibg Germans ) by the coastguard and RNLI
Our pilots to fight again. Theirs to captivity:
As for the dinghy's, unlike in War, you can't kill people on the high seas. It's murder.
I'm thinking the solution is converted ex RAF and military camps pending repatriation. So barbed wire as you say RRH. Humane conditions. But bear in mind, migrants commit an offence under the Immigration Act 1971 as amended straight away, as soon as they are landed. Carries 10 years so stops the clock ticking and the Human Rights complications.
As the issue is going to be the next General Election decider it's odd that all options aren't being considered.

I've decided to take my grand kids to Goose Fair for the first time, but I told them it's just for an hour - I've only got £500 spare! 😆 🤣 😂.

23 Sep 2026 10:30:20
I used to love Goose Fair as a kid. Less so when I had to Police it. Traffic duty on a packed Gregory Boulevard was a tester 😁😁🙄.

Very good Bowie.😂😂👍👍.

19 Sep 2026 11:13:33
Hey Bowie, if you haven't already, give 'Man on Fire' and 'Frontier' a watch, both excellent shows, particularly liked 'Frontier'. 🌳.

19 Sep 2026 11:51:18
Watched an oldie through the week winter. on Netflix. The last castle. Canny film 👍 but yeah I will give em a spin cheers.

19 Sep 2026 12:12:46
Great film, not seen that in years. 🌳.

19 Sep 2026 12:16:11
And yeah they are in the flix original series section. If you want an adrenaline fuelled violence fest 'Havoc' with Tom Hardy, again in the original flix films. 👍🌳.

19 Sep 2026 11:52:54
Eds spoilt my joke 🤣🤣 clue. It wasn't winks.

19 Sep 2026 13:10:09
Love all hardy films 👍.

He was nothing until he teamed up with Laurel!.

18 Sep 2026 18:16:39
May I be the first to offer President Putin my congratulations for his landslide election victory tomorrow.🤬🤬🤬🤬😂🙄😎😉.

27 Sep 2026 03:51:28
Carlos back, just have look to see if he's commented yet😉.

16 Sep 2026 16:30:24
I see that the saucy wench who goes by the name of " Sally from the Palais” seems to have moved on to venues new.
You must be quite " deflated " Larry.
😉😉😉😂😂😂.

17 Sep 2026 11:26:28
Afraid "we're going down the pub" is Sally from the Paleis, he admitted it about 18 months ago, so "Sally from the Paleis" is a DTP "Sham" 🤨.

17 Sep 2026 19:32:43
Shows how much attention I pay to it Mossy. Still, good fun to guess the female impersonators on here. 😂😂😂
All for equal opportunities, but I think they should give Danny La Rue and Lilly Savage a clear run.😂😂😂😂.

18 Sep 2026 05:07:34
Stokey, How some posters on here can tell you a mistake you made two years ago in a post, and keep reminding you of it verbatim, not sure about a female impersonator, it's more like a argument with the wife🤦.

18 Sep 2026 11:22:52
Respect to them mate, I can't remember what I did yesterday.😁😁🙄.

Discussions: Season two of the Gentlemen just landed on flix👍🌳.

03 Sep 2026 23:19:59
Absolutely brilliant winter bud, typical guy, Richie. Love Vinny in anything. Binge watched it today.

04 Sep 2026 09:33:36
I'm saving it for after the weekend, mate, heading up to Edinburgh in a little while for the Mrs's birthday.
I resisted watching it, but I can't wait. 🌳

04 Sep 2026 10:32:27
Emotional.... 😎

07 Sep 2026 09:46:54
Okay, I managed to squeeze in 2 last night before bed, ducking brilliant. 👍👍👍

07 Sep 2026 09:47:32
"Enzo, open the gate." 🤣🤣 🐯

12 Sep 2026 00:17:59
What a way to end the season, "good boy Eddie, good boy" 🤣🌳.

12 Sep 2026 09:50:52
"Freddie" even. 🤣.

Not football related.
RIP Dolly Parton.

26 Aug 2026 10:18:35
A very intelligent and talented lady Ripley. “Jolene” and “9 to 5 “ will be timeless classics but there were loads of others which flew under the radar. Country and western is basically American folk music as you know, with all that entails.


An amazing voice, great humanitarian ( including supplying books to libraries and schools) and very humble with great self deprecating wit.
My favourite quip ( on Parky I think) was “ Hey,it costs alot of money to look this cheap” ! 😁
RIP Dolly

26 Aug 2026 23:33:17
I'm a rock/grunge/reggae/punk man but I've had some awesome times at Country and folk festivals. RIP Dolly, you legend!

9 to 5 is my fave.

Cyclist
“Tumble outta bed and stumbleinto the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition “
Is got to be one of the best opening lyrics of any song mate. Pure poetry 👍👍

30 Aug 2026 11:31:01
Rip, amazingly talented lady. ❤️

19 Aug 2026 05:22:28
RIP Frank Beard. ZZ Top Drummer.

19 Aug 2026 12:07:02
One of my regrets that I never had the opportunity to see ZZ Top live. Always thought they looked and sounded like a fun, entertaining Texas band with great tunes and subtle lyrics …. they were much more subversive behind the MTV glitz
RIP Mr Beard (ironically the only unbearded member of the band )
