what happen to the st2?

Nothing, same spec.

Its White.

The facelift was in 2008 so that orange monstrosity would be one of the early facelifts.. This year the changes were the ST1 was dropped and the ST3 got lots of convenience features like auto wipers, auto headlights, keyless entry, rear parking sensors, heated seats...

This is the pre-facelift...

2010 - White Focus ST3

If that thing works as advertised Electric cars will officially be "cool"

Loving the iPhone, popping up safari and not finding browsing the web with it a chore is fantastic. Nothing from Nokia comes close on this. I think some of the newer Android based HTC phones have got their act together now though. I'd probably love the iPad too but somebody would have to buy one for me because I think it's overpriced. I had a play with one in the Sheffield Apple store the other day and, although it's nice, I don't think I could justify it.

EMPTY TIN CAN

Make a car, a plane, or maybe... another can.

Was thinking about plantation site and perhaps it's too densely planted for paintball. Maybe a quasar type setup would be better and limit the insurance liability. On it's own I'm not sure it would work but maybe combined with other things? It could offer various "team building" activities. There may be funding available if it went that route. Perhaps a candidate to come under a development trust umbrella? It should compliment other trust ventures nicely.

+1 for paintballing on the plantation.

I tried PM'ing Fourgee, but it seems his inbox is either full

So it is, thanks for that.

The easiest way to promote your business is by contributing items to the news section all for free. All we ask is the item is newsworthy and likely to interest people connected with Bedlington not just a blatant advert. For commercial sponsorship pm me for details. Paid advertising is not-for-profit and simply covers contributes towards the hosting bill.

Bennett!

Is there a problem with the classifieds?

Yes is the short answer although it's not immediately obvious to me what the problem is. Will fix asap.

Aside from a few more additions I want to make to the homepage I've just about finished this round of updates.

The biggest change is the way news is now handled. It is now possible for any member to submit news articles directly to the site.

The homepage will now serve as a content aggregator and will pull together hot topics, news, latest gallery pics, classified ads, upcoming calendar events etc. Think of it as a way to get an at-a-glance overview of whats happening in Bedlington

Feel free to post any feedback or suggestions in this thread.

I agree there are a lot of borderline entries. The filter is provided by the BBC so it's pretty exhaustive.

You forgot to mention the other swear word, the one you just can`t get away with on here. Here`s a clue `That online auction site that is in no way as good as Free Bedlington.co.uk Classifieds` :lol:

There's a big difference between censorship and maintaining standards. There are a number of reasons there is a swear filter here and none of them are to prevent free speech I can assure you. One of the key aims of this site is to make sure you can say what you want now and forever. It's a site for everyone including minors. Search engines now have very sophisticated algorithms and things like spelling grammar and things considered profanity all play into the quality score.

I hope that clears things up.

Happy Birthday!

Is anybody planning on watching this? It seems like the juniors are even more smug and self-assured than the contestants in the adult version.

Picked a winner yet?

Anybody watching the junior apprentice? Post any good quotes here...

Episode 1 (Adam)

Woman like cheese, so my target is woman.

What's that? a Local(ish) radio station causes the front street to be "awash with cars and people"? Maybe it's an insight into the future?

Been getting more mail recently? Yesterdays chronicle features an Ashington postman convicted of stealing over 75,000 items of mail.

I don't know what the business split is with Sita but if its 50/50 then retired Canadian teachers are profiting from our 'free' labour!!!!

Aren't Sita obliged to publish the percentage of household waste that is ultimately recycled? If that's the case it would be good if some of the profit was redirected back to the areas that are better sorters on a sliding scale.

did i say That online auction site that is in no way as good as Free Bedlington.co.uk Classifieds ?

the website has started taking on a mind of it's own recently. The machines are taking over.
