Prior to the evenings, a spot of white water rafting at the National Water Sports centre is a laugh.

Places to avoid...... yeh Nottingham! Rough as fook, loads of Gun crime, the City centre resembles The Bronx on a Friday and Saturday night and the reason there are 4 birds for every bloke is that the blokes have either been shot dead or have left the area to hide from their personal drugs debt. Oh and the 4 birds are all tattooed mouses with 4 kids from 5 different fathers.
Apart from that it's a great place!

Tattooed Mouses? How many tattoos can you actually get on a little mouse?

No, Joe has got Nottingham all wrong. I would imagine he has never been there. To not even slate Hooters suggests that.
Apart from that, great summary!
Nottingham is the pride of the East Midlands, and is a cracking night out!

Absolute BOLLOCKS. Nottingham City Centre is an absolutely top place for a night out, as a group of us found last month when we stopped over for the weekend before the County game.
Ye Old Trip to Jerusalem is a fabulous ancient pub (claims to be the oldest in England, circa 1132 or something) which does superb food. The Pit and the Pendulum is a gothic themed pub which is just chuffing BRILLIANT. And we ended up in a retro 80's nightclub called The Reflex with a revolving dancefloor, but I was so smashed by then I can't remember that much tbh.
Forest next season is a NAILED ON trip next season, Nottingham is a top, top city.

Peace out.
This.
Nottingham was a great place, the pubs, people etc..
Like you said, Forest is a certain fixture next season.

That is an urban myth.
What I can tell you is that it is the most violent city in England for its size. I don't feel safe there, but certainly do in Mansfield. So take care.

Any of you chaps tried finding the gents at the Pit and the Pendulum ?
That was just a GENIUS touch. Bloody love that place. If that was in Brighton, I'd make a beeline for it every night out.

TBF, they have managed to narrow down the number of possible fathers to five.
I'm prob no more familiar to Notts than you PW. Moved over in Jan'11 and been doing too much work since to really discover Notts. That Trent thing sounds ace!

I didn't realise you were gay. Hope you enjoyed the experience, anyway.
You've got to be kidding.

You wish.
Just make sure you're not dying for a wazz when you first embark for the bogs. I nearly SOILED myself.

Nope, there's no gun crime, knifings are rare and the town centre is smothered in state-of-the-art CCTV. Having said that, there have been a few people kicked to death in recent years, all alcohol-related.

Why have you chosen Nottingham?
I guess people are biased. When I lived in Derby they all said Mansfield was just a town full of chavs and rough as fook and that Notts was crime central. In my opinion I would say Derby is the shithole blot on the landscape and Nottingham is a vibrant and cosmopolitan city, admittedly i live in Hucknall now (not far from you
) so you can't really get an idea of what it's like to live in Notts when i'm living just outside. I've never been to Mansfield apart from drive past field mill.

'ooknull eh? I used to do volunteer work there. Can't advise on where to go for a stag do as I would expect you'll be going to Hooters, Wetherspoons etc. whereas I used to frequent the Olde Salutation and Canal House, which would be destroyed by stag dos.
Never had any trouble finding the loos at the Pit and Pendumlum [MENTION=70]Easy 10[/MENTION], but then people always seemed to leave the bookcase ajar.
