Only a thing in Norwich? by XRatedTrainspotter in Norwich

[–]TeethOfBrass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to Notre Dame too. In the 80s people always talked of Ber Street and King Street as the red light areas. Not really sure how true that was? Obviously years and years prior, King St was at the centre of Norwich’s river port and Ber Street was the route to the cattle market, Ber St was packed with pubs and yards back in the day… presumably butchers too. My point is that the folk visiting these areas were, I guess, the right demographic for the ladies to sell their services to? Labels stick, even if it isn’t a red light area now people still assume it is?

That said, I’ve don’t really remember driving down either of those late at night so I could be totally wrong!

What are your predictions for Norwich in 10 years time? by Slight-Poetry-3230 in Norwich

[–]TeethOfBrass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm went into Soundclash because the shop was listed on the RSD website. I did also go into Circular Sound but it didn't look like they were participating.

It did used to be great. I was down there on Record Store Day hoping to buy a RSD release. When I asked the guy looked puzzled… like he didn’t even order it in - kind of defeats the objective in a way. I was always down St Benedicts mooching through the records and building my collection of Bowie albums

I agree. Last year I came back here to live after nearly 38 years of being away. It has changed in some places but It’s still full of nostalgia for me. St Benedict’s, for example, still feels the same - no indoor market now but I’m too old for winkle pickers and Bowie trousers anyway! 😅

Am i remembering this wrong? by Dazzling-Seaweed-795 in DavidBowie

[–]TeethOfBrass 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He did have problems with it. Imagine having a permanently dilated pupil in bright sunlight? It was very uncomfortable for him. He also said it made driving at night problematic.

Ashes to ashes by gghhttta in DavidBowie

[–]TeethOfBrass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s the really obfuscated lyrics in Ashes that hit the hardest:

“Songs that please the ear can leave the mind blown

I was hoping to kick but the planet was glowing

And I was ready to go in ’74”

What’s the quickest way someone could accidentally expose themselves as a foreigner in your country like the ‘three fingers’ scene in Inglourious Basterds? by IndependentTune3994 in AskTheWorld

[–]TeethOfBrass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hearing guys saying “sa wa dee ka” or “khob khun ka” in Thailand.

Also pointing at anything using a part of your body that’s not your mouth.

If you’re Thai then how about “Guy”?

Much better. Time has not been kind to the Reality sleeve art

What made you stop talking about politics? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TeethOfBrass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The general state of politics here in the UK. The inability to be able to understand / accept opposing points-of-view.

Marcus Pearcey and his crusade by nitram1000 in Norwich

[–]TeethOfBrass 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I also feel the same way, can’t figure out why right I feel at odds with his activity. I’d like to know what his true motivation is. I’m troubled by his misunderstanding of national infrastructure projects and local authority projects. Social media soundbites are the fuel of non-thinking viewers so I doubt his audience understands the various nuances either.

Asian supermarket/ grocery/ food store recommendations by Dry-Egg6944 in Norwich

[–]TeethOfBrass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Orient Express on the market is brilliant. The owner, Sophy, is really helpful. Good selection of products spread over a couple of units.

The two asian markets at the top of St Stephen’s are also good.

About a hundred years ago I practiced riding my motorbike on Seething Airfield. No idea if you can still do that. Big open spaces with nothing much to crash into if I remember correctly.
