Happy Birthday Vic

Bedlington Picnic - 30th June 2018 - Info posted in the 'Events' section :- Posted on Facebook by Vic Thompson :- With the snow now cleared from Attlee Park and sledging (hopefully) over until much later in the year, it’s time to look towards the summer...This year, we’re excited to announce that we’re planning the Bedlington Picnic on Saturday 30th June!As ever, the event will revolve around the talents and efforts of our local community, displaying all of the amazing things that Bedlington has to offer. This is an opportunity for our talented artists to perform to a large audience, organisations to display the great work they are doing, groups to recruit new members, fundraisers to get support... and more!If you think you would like to get involved in any way, whether it be to perform, display, sell, or help with the organisation, please get in touch! It would be great to have as many people involved as possible for 2018!We look forward to hearing from you all 😀 AAnything to add for this years event @Danielwilkinson?

Translation, for our non-Geordie members (bracketed text for information only): Big mouth and cosy face (I don't understand it either) talking about their buttocks, I suppose it makes a change from talking out of their buttocks.

Happy birthday Vic. Have a good one!

Big Gob and Snug Mug talking aboot tha arses, a supoos it mekes a change from talking oot tha arses .

Happy birthday from me too, Vic. Don't know about you but I'm sick and tired of snow now. I want green grass, crocuses and snow drops! Have a lovely day!

Let me start by translating this for people who don’t speak Geordie. Not all our readers were brought up in the North East – or even the UK. Translation: (bracketed text for information only) I wondered how long it would be before big mouth Annie would be along to defend her little playmate friend, the pair of you are just like a snake with two heads spitting and hissing at everyone on the board (forum) who doesn’t meet with your approval. Perhaps we should all stop posting and just let you and stupid Hector (Here: meaning Pilgrim) force your opinions down everyone’s throat and use the board (forum) to tell us how we all are wrong and know nothing. The two of you are full of wind (meaning flatulence), water (meaning urine) and self-admiration. End of translation. I, big mouth Annie, did not come along to defend anybody. If, by “little playmate marrow” you were referring to Pilgrim then I have to say that he doesn’t appear to be in need of any defense. He’s doing an admirable job on his own. I, big mouth Annie, came along to stop someone else making a fool of themselves and showing their ignorance of the Christian faith. Further, I, big mouth Annie, have yet to meet anybody on this forum who does not meet with my approval. There are those who don’t agree with me and those who do. I’m a firm believer in the individual’s right to free speech and approve of all who use it – some better than others. I, big mouth Annie,have no desire to “force” anything “down anyone’s throat. That is practically impossible on this site for two reasons: 1) we are all equipped with eyes with which to read but no-one forces us to use them. 2) We all have access to a facility which allows us to “mark site read” (top right of screen). If you are reading my posts then you are doing so, not because you are forced to do so but because you have chosen to do so. As long as you, or anybody else, have anything to contribute to a discussion then you should absolutely not stop posting. Forums such as this are there for exchange of opinions, knowledge and even pleasantries. It costs nothing to be civil to fellow members. I, big mouth Annie, admit to being full of wind and water. We are all full of wind and water! Only difference between me and a couple of others here, is that my wind and water passes out into the world via my backside and my bladder while others let it flow from their mouth (gob, if you understand that better).

I enjoy the political and the religious banter that is posted, it certainly educates me in many things I didn't know or understand and I hope it continues, what bothers me and obviously others is the personal and rude comments! that I’m sure that the posters wouldn't make if you were all sitting together face to face! the content yes but rudeness I’m sure not. I don’t live in Bedlington, I wasn’t brought up there and have very little to contribute but I often can, usually because my wife Doreen was born and bred there. Just my opinion but suggest the rudeness and personal attacks be toned down and everyone will come back in and chat again.

Unfortunately this site has become a place to discuss wider political agenda and now ignores anything closer to home people of the town may actually need to know or may actually be interested in. The fact both the picnic and the sporting facilities were not mentioned here speaks volumes about what the website now represents.
