Re: The new multicultural Hastings

I don't generally have a problem with such things, but a few things do grind on me. A few weeks back two Bangladeshi men were in court in Exeter for fraud and theft. Having lived here since being granted asylum in the mid 1970's, the judge expressed anger and utter disbelief at the defending counsel...

Re: St Helens Hospital

I was a patient in St Helens for 10 days in Jan 1979, had my appendix out just days before my 14th birthday. I was on Ward 1 (children's ward) I remember some of the nurses I could name, but Sally as a name sadly doesn't ring any bells. I could give you a few names of those I remember if that helps ...

Re: lost friend

Tried messaging a reply to the message you sent, but it's stuck in the outbox (Why does that happen mods?) Anyway, yes, the guy I worked with was 60 fairly recently, and went to Catford boys school, sound familiar? I know he has at least one brother, as he also worked at Stagecoach in Hastings.

Re: Computer Meltdown

You're not the first person I've known to have issues with 10, my mum bought a new laptop 18 months ago, it crashed so often that I came over and put 7 on it in tandem with 10, and when I'd salvaged all her photos and files, deleted 10 from it. If you look at the many windows forums online you will ...

Re: Computer Meltdown

What operating system were you using on it before it crashed, windows? if so, what version? XP, Vista?, 7?, 8?, 8.1? or the god awful avoid at any cost 10?

Re: Computer Meltdown

Easiest and quickest way to do it, buy or find another hard drive, and install the operating system on it. Then once it is up and running, and all the updates are done, shut it down, and if it's a desktop computer, fit the dodgy disk as a slave drive, and you can then get in there and retrieve your ...

Re: rechargeable batteries

Seahermit, going off topic slightly here, but what makes you so sure you wouldn't look right in a frock/dress? Last time I was in Hastings (18months ago) I was driving through the town centre about 11.15pm, and the stateof some of the local females defied belief! :o :( There is no way a bloke in a f...

Re: Colorwave

When I was talking about would have been mid to late 1970's, long before Churchfields was built, so they must have moved up there in later years.

Re: Colorwave

Yes, I do remember it, used to be in the little passageway between Grove Road and Winchelsea Road, joined the two roads at the bottom with the alleyway (We used to call Dog**it Alley :lol: ) that ran up behind the houses in Grove Road and Winchelsea Road. Apart from the sign above the door we had no...
