There's a snow control bar underneath the menu at the top. Talk about ridiculous site features

OK the snow is back now with option to disable and wind control

I would imagine the store staff will be the last to find out as usual, with one possible exception Tesco plans have been deferred til January.

You might enjoy this weeks horizon then. Looking at how many people Earth can sustain.

I wonder if they improve on the Media Center Extender experience. That's about all I use mine for at the minute. It does a great job as a PVR music sharing device etc.

3 if you count Monsta in his forum moderator role. We need to keep him on a short leash

I'll do some more digging and keep you posted.

Rumour has it that the law courts are set to close with court employees being asked whether they would prefer to travel to either the courts in Newcastle or Gateshead. If that is the case what is to happen to the building there? It hasn't even been there for ten years yet has it? Could this be our fabled Leisure Centre?

Tesco were allegedly initially approached and asked to contribute £1k towards the events that are taking place in the market place to which they agreed but have since u-turned on. Interestingly, Asda in Ashington agreed to a £1.5k request for similar events taking place there. Is this the level of community support we are to expect from Tesco?

The latest plans for the Red Lion show a restaurant upstairs set to be called "Europa".

The community centre is up for sale and set to close in the very near future. It is currently being run on a temporary basis by Blyth Valley Leisure and has previously been subsidised to the tune of £78k per year. Does it have a future?

This is how almost ALL Google products have been released. Invite only pre-release followed by a public release.

I think it will but in various different forms. It's an open protocol so it will be refined. If Google's effort doesn't catch there will certainly be elements of it appearing in other apps.

No it's err hard to explain. It's billed as the future of email and online collaboration. http://wave.google.com/help/wave/about.html

I've got some Google Wave invites if anybody wants one? pm me your email if you do.

Hi 250merc welcometo the forums. The delay was because the supplier couldn't get the stone out of the quarry quick enough and the barriers are still there because there are still a load of events happening over the Christmas period.

Apparantly Meadowdale School has closed early for Christmas due to problems with their heating system. Bet the kids are pleased

Yeah true but we don't so lets go and spin the sign round

Driving into Bedlington this afternoon I noticed a sign at the Plessey junction trying to make me bypass Bedlington in favour of Morpeth and the Sanderson Arcade which I thought was a bit cheeky. Luckily I resisted and made it safely into Bedders uncorrupted. Then on a trip to Tesco's to get my evening meal I was drawn to the "local books" cardboard stand at the entrance. No Bedlington books but many of Morpeth. What's going on?

A toggle button is easy enough but it would have to be re-toggled on every page load. making it stay permanantly in one state or another is more work so you'll have to give me a few days. Next you'll want wind speed and direction controls too

Might be a few years too late but these have just recently been uploaded http://www.bedlington.co.uk/community/index.php?app=gallery&module=user&user=694&do=view_album&album=92

Wow great work Blank, some real gems in there. What was the "Coronation Shelter"?

It still is on the main page ok I'll add it to just the forum index. Will that make everybody happy?

I haven't read this thread in it's entirety just wanted to quickly chip in with this and then I'll go back and read over. Is it not more efficient to use more advanced power generation techniques at source instead of in the car? Surely it's more efficient to transport electricity over the grid than it is to have huge tankers and ships moving fuels around the world?

OK filesize limit was set at 1Mb so I've upped it to 4 until the hosting company starts complaining Max image display size is 1600x1200 but I think you should be able to upload larger and the image will automatically be resized down. Correct me if I'm wrong. Total diskspace limit is 50Mb per user but can be upped on request.
