This is utterly wonderful and is one of the many reasons why I have developed quite a fondness for this unassuming, often overlooked city.comment:www.metafilter.com,2014:site.139492-5564446Fri, 30 May 2014 02:19:56 -0800dumdidumdumBy: melisande

Marvelous. Great way to start they day. Now I want to visit Nottingham.
The soccer (sorry, football) players at 2:48 totally cracked me up. I didn't realize that was Torvill and Dean themselves in cameos at the train station until I saw the credits.comment:www.metafilter.com,2014:site.139492-5564478Fri, 30 May 2014 04:07:41 -0800evilmomladyBy: Katemonkey

Somehow, going "I've been there!" means nothing when, y'know, you actually live there.
I'm a bit disappointed they didn't include construction workers on the tramworks dancing. The local news shitstorm would have been glorious.comment:www.metafilter.com,2014:site.139492-5564549Fri, 30 May 2014 05:52:59 -0800KatemonkeyBy: leslies

Bolero to me is Albert Brooks in his sadly forgotten album "A Star Is Bought", dedicated (and explained in narration) as a naked ploy to get airplay on every radio format, and for Classical stations, <a href="http://powerpop.blogspot.com/2011/07/as-potent-as-warm-glass-of-beer.html">he wrote and sang some embarrassingly 'sexy' lyrics to the iconic melody</a>. It's one thing to have the song stuck in your head, something else to have the words "Can we do it on the couch, or should we do it on the floor..." attached.comment:www.metafilter.com,2014:site.139492-5564810Fri, 30 May 2014 08:41:04 -0800oneswellfoopBy: NorthernLite

I dislike very much when people exaggerate, but speaking as a T & D fan from way back in the day - this is probably the best thing ever on the internet.
One year when they were in Stars on Ice there was a group number in the middle of which all the skaters momentarily hilariously did a bit of the Bolero. It's such an iconic program.
Also . for the 6.0 system.comment:www.metafilter.com,2014:site.139492-5564823Fri, 30 May 2014 08:45:16 -0800NorthernLiteBy: minsies

Hey, I live there! Those are rugby players, I believe.
I know one of the roller derby women!

Well, that was the best way to begin the weekend ever.
Clearly Nottingham is a lovely place full of delightful people, and now I am wishing I lived there too. Well done.comment:www.metafilter.com,2014:site.139492-5565509Fri, 30 May 2014 14:19:53 -0800kinnakeetBy: Hartster

Late to the party but just wanted to say, I'm in it! I'm one of the Nottingham Hellfire Harlots roller derby skaters. (and yes, those are Rugby players not footballers)comment:www.metafilter.com,2014:site.139492-5607927Sat, 28 Jun 2014 09:56:45 -0800missmagenta
"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow. The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law. They've been arrested in violation of the Constitution and laws of the State of Indiana, which provide¡ª" "I know of Marvor and will take you to him. It is not far to where he stays." Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends. Stephen Holgrave ascended the marble steps, and proceeded on till he stood at the baron's feet. He then unclasped the belt of his waist, and having his head uncovered, knelt down, and holding up both his hands.
