Aye natural entertainer. I reckon that Welsh lass was pretty good as well but not sure if the world needs another Katherine Jenkins/Charlotte Church/Duffy Clone.

Well I did say it was an easy one

OK here's an easy one...

Tada!

There`s an old butchers shop down past Best Bite (or before) Is it that?

Nope, you missed a subtle clue in my last post.

Yarrows?

Nope.

Didn't think it was going to be this tough

I bet you`re going to say `no`

no

Is it that chippy beside Best Bites? Can`t remember the name of it..

Jenny's?

Is it Shangri La's?

Getting colder.

Is it a Lotus of some description?

The Old School building?

Well this thread has turned into a roll call of Bedlington's famous disused buildings won't be long before you get to the answer.

End of October is apparantly the new completion date. Delay blamed on a shortage of stone deliveries. Any news on what (if any) event is going to utilise this new space to celebrate it's completion?

Is it not?

Well, is it the boarded up garage beside the Market Place club? Or Fancy That?

Nope.

The boarded up Gas shop?

Nope and the Gas shop isn't boarded up.

I have attached copies and a transcript of some historic letters sent from Bedlington in the 1840's courtesy of Janet Kelly in New Zealand.

Anybody have the replies in their loft?

Now that Mr Darn is back I think it's time to resurrect his "Bigger Picture" puzzle game from way back when.

The idea is simple, post a cropped image of a place in Bedlington and get people to guess where it is. After a correct guess post the original revealing all.

Here we go with the first one...

No Idea never seen it before! but i would guess at a hulme f1 around 2008- 2009

I didn't expect you to get that one but you got it. Hulme CanAm in production form originally known as the F1 as a concept.

Aaarghh forgot to put my predictions in for this week.

Commons debate relating to the difficulty of small towns with populations of up to 20,000 gaining access to funding for local community radio stations.

Woohoo!

OK here's one for you.

Ah you being picky and going to make me say speed 12? no idea on the year.

Me an monsta can get called clitoris's on this site and no action is taken!

You are free to use the report function for offensive posts just like anybody else.

On your recent flyer, I failed to see that you mentioned to prospective users that unless they agreed with the mods, their posts would be deleted.

All deleted topics are placed in a hidden forum. I can see everything that is deleted by mods to prevent this type of thing. Only offensive language and personal attacks have ever been removed, nothing else. Personal opinions are welcome (and indeed encouraged) as always. It is quite clear in the site rules what is and what isn't allowed as has been explained several times now. These rules are displayed at registration and are available for anybody to read at any time here.

One rule for them and one rule for us does not work.Dictatorship springs to mind as does Hitler,Stalin and the Chinese Republic.Whether you like it or not Freedom Of Speech is still allowed in this country.If you can't take it don't dish it!I'm quite happy to take the flak,as long as the same rules apply to every single one of us!

They do.

Oh! And by the way this really is a good site,and any newbies reading this just take no notice of me I'm just having a rant

Thanks, it is good to hear that you appreciate what has been achieved on the site. It is very disheartening when many hours are put into providing a FREE resource for people to use as well as other things behind the scenes to help OUR town and then be accused of dictatorship when people are just trying to keep the site clean for all users.

TVR... Cerbera?

2002?

Roll up, roll up! get your Bedlington.co.uk Goodies here...

what the planning went through in july! plus av seen people there taking measurements with there surveying equipment. it shouldn't be much longer before they get the demo team in and crack on with the new ganny home!

As far as I am aware no plans have been submitted beyond outline planning permission which was given in late June. I don't think building would be possible without a detailed application. I would imagine that is what the surveyors were there for.
