Let’s talk about Nottingham, UK
 

Guys, I think we need to have a talk - yes, about Nottingham.

Does it still have a sheriff?

Ehhh... This is how I heard of it when I was a kid.

They'd make us all cry like girls. They're crazy! :haha:

my great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather married at St. Marys the Virgin in the 1630s - a fine mediaeval structure. last night i took some night medicine and began wandering the city on maps - which at the time seemed startling extensive and robust, with london-like squares.

i mean - yeah i guess i was expecting a village.

But didn’t they ruin all local government services because of austerity? Or was that Northampton?

the great american story, really. dude goes off to the crusades/middle eastern war and everything is jacked when he gets back in town. wasn’t there a movie with The Rock or something that was basically this but with a 2x4 instead of a bow?

it would be cool to hear a brits opinion, i don’t know how it really fits in to the english agglomeration of midland cities.

Are you sure? How would you know about this? Really, people obsessed with genealogy are astonishing.
Sometimes, they may tell themselves stories and legends seen in their fantasy books and fairy tales.

For instance, I have no idea where my great great grandparents came from, and I couldn't care less. They were too many anyway.

I'll quickly tell you about this, you will get it easily.
You have 16 great great grandparents.
32 great great great parents and so on.
Can you remember your basic math lessons? Your genealogy is actually a geometric sequence with "common ratio" 2, or simply the exponential function of base 2, exponent being taken the set of positive integers (that function grows pretty fast).
That means that in theory, you have 2048 great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandparents.
Can you realize, now? Trying to track them all in history is simply impossible.

I'm not a Brit but having lived there for many years I'm the next best thing.

I can't speak for young people but for the more mature male Nottingham means one thing...the late and very great Mr. Brian Clough who took a small-town club from Nottingham to win the European Cup twice.

Put the place on the map for a few years.

Nottingham is nice, but it's no Newcastle.
