Everybody, get along to this! It take's only minutes to learn, it's easy. Nothing to be afraid of. The defibrillator talks to you and gives you instructions all the time. And when you've been there please keep up to date on where to find the nearest defibrillator. It's very important that someone knows where it is, and goes to collect it while someone else is giving CPR.

I hope many people have seen a defibrillator on the side of the Masonic Hall. There are others going into the Front Street and we hope people will want to come along and see how they work.

So, Juncker gets his EU Army - it's just about the only thing the Eurocrats can agree on, because it gives them more power! The Leave campaign was absolutely right about this and the Remainers deluding themselves. It's also emerging that there was a secret deal with Dodgy Dave that he wouldn't veto the plans when he won the referendum, whilst assuring us of the exact opposite! Hopefully our new PM isn't a serial liar! What is this army for other than to use against Europe's own peoples, or to have a go at Putin? One thing is for sure: it will grow and grow on every lame excuse, and absorb ever more of the EU GNP. It's a convenient tool to reduce the staggering EU youth unemployment, without actually doing anything positive to improve people's well-being. Our own leaders need to reaffirm our total commitment to NATO, and keep well away from any involvement or cooperation in so-called EU defence. Though, just how many of our politicos can we trust on this?

Nice to hear a success story, Vic! It's not unusual here, in outlying places, that 3 or 4 houses club together to buy one. Apparently, they're not too expensive. I know that the defib in the nearest village has twice been put to good use in the last 18 months.

About four years ago my then 45 year old son who is very healthy and fit, walks,climbs, hikes,mountain bikes, ice hockey, baseball etc,stepped onto the ice with his son to play a game of shinny hockey, he made one lap of the rink and his heart stopped! quick response by the arena staff located the AED defibrillator and they got his heart going again, after operations and recuperation he has recovered and living a normal life. Last year he walked the way of St James, Camino de Santiago, 800 km, he has worn out one bike and working on the next one! we are so grateful that the arena staff were trained in CPR and the use of AED's His heart condition is a hereditary condition, we are all taking our turn! For your friends and family's sake please learn how to use these AED's understand CPR you never know!

A blind man goes into a bar for gay females. He takes a seat at the bar and says, rather loudly, to the barmaid: “Have you heard the one about the blonde baker’s assistant?” The whole room goes quiet and the woman on the seat next to him says: “Before you tell that joke, there are a few things you should be aware of: 1. The barmaid is blonde 2. The bouncer is blonde 3. I’m a blonde. I’m also six foot tall, weigh 80 kilos and have a black belt in karate 4. The woman next to me is also blonde and she’s a weightlifter 5. The woman on your left is a blonde as well. She’s a wrestler. Think very carefully! Do you really want to tell that joke?” The man thinks for a while and then replies: “Not if I’ll have to explain it five times”.

Lovely, lovely photo, Vic! One that all the family can look back on for many years to come. Weddings are great for getting everybody under one roof. My lot are spread out from Bristol to Aberdeen so a wedding makes sure i don't have to miss anybody.

We travelled to our Grand daughters wedding, all of our spread out family made and we were able to get our family portrate updated, great time catching up with all the news and gossip. Life is good!

On the subject of procreation ... In the beginning God created Adam. Adam sat and looked at the moon, the stars, the lakes, rivers, flowers, animals and everything else which God had created. God felt that Adam needed some company so he created Eve and waited for nature to take its course. Nature did not take its course. God waited for something to happen but Adam and Eve weren’t interested in each other. One day, when Adam and Eve were pottering in the garden, God said to Adam: “Adam, go to Eve and give her a bit of a cuddle”. “What’s a cuddle?”, asked Adam. When God had explained, Adam went to Eve and gave her a bit of a cuddle. When he came back, God said: “Adam, go back to Eve and give her a kiss”. “What’s a kiss?”, said Adam. When God had explained, Adam went to Eve and gave her a kiss. When he came back, God said: “Adam, go to Eve and have sex with her”. “What’s sex?” asked Adam. When God had explained, Adam went to Eve to have sex with her. After a while he returned. God could see that Adam was perplexed and asked him what was wrong. Adam answered: “What’s a headache?”

that does make me reflect on the influence of alcohol on human fertility -- I believe that most of the population of Morpeth was conceived on the Harhill - where was the most fertile ground of the shire? and was it some sort of primeval rite?? so where did the populace of the shire go to generate the new generation?? lol -- that might bring in some interesting responses .... like the lass who was pregnant and asked - what position will I be in to deliver? ans -- the same as you conceived in -- er --what in the back of a mini kicking the mirror off??
