Shotley Gate?

Is HMS Ganges still there? Or has it been bulldozed?

Shotley "Annex" has gone, Ganges is still there, most of the buildings gone, but the mast is still there, the whole area is behind bars. If you go down the jetty to the museum, behind that is the old "Faith, Hope & Charity" fond memories.

There are a lot of web sites for Ganges, have a google, I was there in 61.

Guess "Shotley" the demon barber has gone as well......

I used to love this book.

Ah, Moon-face, Silky the fairy, The Saucepan Man, Dame Washalot, Mr. Watzisname and the Angry Pixie.
I always wanted to climb that tree.

I was thinking about that book the other night.
There's a character with a moon for a head, right?

I used to love that book.


Another book I'm sure most will remember:

Honestly, does anyone think wrestling has any element of competition in it?

Don't say that Dickie lied to us? My childhood memories lie in shattered pieces...
