Yeah Adam, I did my computer classes at the High School but I also believe they stopped them - though maybe have started them up again!!! But the Open Learning centre next to Bedlington station library does them If I am not wrong. I did my ECDL & Maintainance courses at Blyth college - NOW CLOSED!!!!! aargh!

Well i can confirm Computer courses will soon be held at Bedlington Community Centre if anyone would like to do them.

Didn't some politician say that everybody would have a computer in their homes if he was elected?

Was it not the "Dear Leader" Tony "The Tory" Blair?

Was it not the "Dear Leader" Tony "The Tory" Blair?

Thought it was him. The trouble with politicians is that they all sound the same and make the same promises. I think there is a special farm where they breed them - like dolly the cloned sheep - then they pull out a number and it's the next one's turn. Talking of which - I don't want to get into a political argument here, but am I right in saying we have not had a properly elected government since Blair! No one voted Brown in, No one voted Cameron in - they both got in by default. So is Tony the last elected leader our fair isle has had?

I was at a meeting last week where local community groups said they were being left out because they didn't have the IT skills necessary to keep up to date with the latest communications routes by the likes of NCC.

Kinda makes you wonder if there might be a division soon along technocratic lines.

More than bloody likely.

It's unbelievable, the amount of people that work with computers every day and struggle with the basic competencies let alone people who haven't touched the technology yet. You just have to look at the older generations who don't trust chip and pin machines let alone online shopping.

We have done this subject somewhere on the site........

Didn't know we elected leaders..........I thought we elected an area rep and they elected their own leaders.

To quote Voltaire..........An ideal form of government is democracy tempered with assassination.

Or even FDR.........Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.

Did you forget the Invertebrate Clegg? He said after the recent heavy defeat in the elections "Its been a bad night for the Party" well I have to disagree, I was on my way out for a pint but instead stopped at home and had a great "Party" rewinding live TV and watching him Squirm.

Or Indeed...

Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule - and both commonly succeed, and are right.

Sorry Foxy - I have great difficulty in even remembering Clegg.

You mean Virgil foxy because all he does is the same as Virgil from thunderbirds he is cameron's puppet, next time you see Clegg/Virgil he will be going to his party as leader.
