Has anybody else been enjoying the speedway style bike racing in the Market Place? Almost as good as F1.

Must be in the adverts on X-Factor Live chat might have worked this week

Yeah they could have made it a bit easier.

Italy have an easy group but I don't think they can win it this time around.

Here you go... Operator of Cambois turbines https://www.eon-uk.c...rationform.aspx Give them a ring and see how much they want for one? Ask them what they would charge to maintain and operate it on our behalf too.

It's a nice idea but I fear only economic on a bigger scale so things like servicing and repair costs, planning and management fees could be shared and this is probably how the town you speak of did things. They probably leave the running of the thing to the original developer and have simply invested in the wind farm itself. You would also need some security to borrow against.

The lack of wind. See Wansbeck General Hospitals turbine output for the ACTUAL economics of a wind turbine Good to see people are starting to use their brains though and come up with ideas.

Who would decide on where the money goes? Would we take applications and then put up a public poll? What would be the eligibility criteria for applying?

I certainly have and I'm all for the idea but it would have to be properly managed and something I personally don't have the time for. Anybody with a track record in this area? The software bit is easy.

stick your postcode in that samknows checker and click locality. It'll give you an approximate distance.

Just thought I'd give this a bump seeing as there are a lot of new members that may not be aware of it.

http://www.samknows....nd/checker2.php useful tool to see what's available to you.You may save a bit of cash too if you're lucky.

yeah it's now more and more likely to be your internet connection, if you can try again easily (without rearranging your house) from the master phone socket bypassing that lead then we can see what difference the extension is making. sounds like you migh do well at looking into changing ISPs who you with at the moment and how far from the exchange are you?

Possibly yes, use this site http://www.speedtest.net to test your connection speed.

Pete, if you pause the video and wait till the buffer fills, let the bar at the bottom of the video get right to the end and then play it back. If it plays back fine after doing that then it's your internet connection.

Stephen's group is here http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=186741581491 Good luck!

I'm rendering an HD video of the switch on so I'll stick that in there as soon as it's done. Sorry for the shakiness, I was freezing!

There's an album been set up specially in the galleries for all your Tommy pics and video. http://www.bedlington.co.uk/community/index.php?app=gallery&module=user&user=1&do=view_album&album=89

If pausing it and letting it buffer is causing the improvement then it is your internet connection that is the bottleneck not the computer.

There are a few groups working towards this goal and a feasability study is being carried out. There are two proposed sites. Gallagher Park and Meadowdale School. The Friends of Gallagher Park have a website - http://friendsofgallagherpark.ning.com/ You may also like to attend the Bedlington Forum and Community Area Partnership meetings as the next meetings will be discussing this feasability study.

:lol:

Depends what you mean by leisure centre. I think something like a general purpose indoor sports facility with provision for 5-a-side football, tennis, squash etc. would be great. Swimming pool? perhaps not due to the serious expense that would be involved but it's certainly something to aim for.

And a bit more from here.
