One for all the NSC Bikers. Documentary following three riders at the North West 200, yet another mad road race in Northern Ireland. My Dad did it a few times in his racing career (1950's), think his best finish was 6th in the Junior (350cc) race but he much preferred the TT. Unlike the TT...

9PM tonight, I don't suppose this will be cheeriest of the programmes on this evening but having been there myself a few years ago as part of a long weekend in Krakow I'm sure it will be a fascinating view, especially as Professor Schama is Jewish. He will clearly will have a 'personal' take on...

Just a heads up for one of my favourite musicians on BBC4 from 9.15PM tonight. Good evening, I'm from Essex, In case you couldn't tell, my given name is Dickie I come from Billericay and I'm doing very well :clap:

Early evening TV is crap as usual, so its You Tube for me and one of my favourite films, have already passed by several wonderful scenes and punchlines...

BBC2 10 PM, bleak UK gangster film, Michael Caine is magnificent as the lead protagonist. :thumbsup:

Hope this doesn't come out too morbid but my Uncle has confirmed that I am the Executor (don't know how that is going to go!) and sole Benefactor of his will. He has a fair bit stashed away as Savings and Premium Bonds etc. but more importantly he owns his house in a village in Cheshire...

Best Film of the week (The Death of Stalin) which is both a tremendous comedy but also tells you everything you need to know about the Soviet Union and a fair bit of how Putin's Russia works. When is it on? 9 PM / 10 PM? No, it is on at 11.55 - a good job I am retired but wouldn't bother...

Quite a shock, one of the items was the Lap Record Board from the Olivers Mount motorcycle circuit. The Board has several famous names on it, Geoff Duke for example. The 1954 Lap Record was one P.H.Carter , who broke Bill Doran's previous Record. He really enjoyed the Oilvers Mount...

Went self employed in 2007, kicked it in the head last year. Hence I have 17 years of documents to get rid of. Most are directly work based with confidential information on them. Clearly this will take me months to get rid of this on my poor little office shredder, but if any of the great...

Possibly this is granny sucking eggs type of question but after many, many years of being overcharged I have decided that I am going to ditch BT for my landline and broadband. Suggestions as to a better provider please?

Mrs Jakarta had a little difference of agreement the other night as I was compiling my funeral music and I'm not quite dead yet.. I have 3 hymns I want playing but this is my incoming tune, bless you Vini... followed by: To member our wedding : Sir John Deanes School hymn, Founders day...

My vote goes to Ridley Scott's 1977 debut The Duellists. Made on two tenths of f*** all but got Keith Carradine and Harvey Keitel to emerge from Hollywood to play the leading roles. The supporting actors must have been on minimum wage but are almost all of the great and good of British Theatre...

Hello Here is hoping the collective wisdom of NSC may help. As part of my Retirement I am shifting work gear I used (air sampling pumps, noise meters and noise dose badges etc). These obviously have a specialist clientele. Amazing I have also found 12 old mobiles, ranging from Nokias you...

Sadly after 40 years of riding all sorts hanging up leathers and my CB 600R F2 has to go. 1997 but just 19K on the clock, have had it for 15 years or so know mileage is genuine... I know this is not ebay but if any NSCers are interested?

Hello NSC Amazon are playing silly buggers with me for some reason so thought I would punt this out to the great & good on NSC, Only going due to massive cull of CD's plus it is Mrs C's mosted hated album, some CD's only part played.. Basically the it is the classic 3 piece doing 5x venues...

I found this photo on a weird website, my Dad (PH Carter) enjoying himself coming 12th in the 1952 Senior TT on his 500 Manx Norton. Wonder how much that bike would go for today..?

Frank Field RIP Top man served his party well, always came over as a very decent man. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68887629

A HUGE gust has woken me up so have come down stairs to check things out. All OK but don't think I can sleep in this so an hour or so luking on NSC beckons.
