Just received a very interesting email, can anybody shed any more light on it?

If permission could be given to use the field at the top of the bank there as well you could have quite an event. No need for street closures or dealing with bus companies. It's just a short walk from there to the 20 acres too. Bedlington cheese rolling down the bank?

Duties of a Local Authority Mayor Duties include:- Chairing meetings of the local Council.Promoting the local area to businesses who might want to invest their money there.Making the most of tourism if there is any in the area.Championing charitable causes including helping to organise relevant events.Attending important public functions such as Remembrance Sunday events.

Forgive my ignorance on matters of local governance but don't we already have such a person?

20 acres or atlee park most likely.

If the Summer Fair is to be reborn then I think we should arrange for a Bedlington Terrier show to form a part of it. It could be arranged in conjunction with the numerous Bedlington Terrier clubs nationally and if done properly and on a regular basis I'm sure it would attract some of the nuttier dog owners from overseas too.

OK sorted in time for next Christmas promise

"The Bayard" is the engine in Rome.

Might be a memory handling issue with FireFox. I've reduced the amount of "snow" on screen at any one time, see if that makes any difference.

Is the whole browser freezing? excuse the pun, or just the snow? Certain things will cause the snow to stop in it's tracks in Firefox but it shouldn't crash the whole browser.

http://www.radiotimes.com/blogs/483-news-doctor-who-heads-christmas-preview/ Only thing I would watch in that lot is the QI special and the Top Gear Vietnam Special. But I think even the Top Gear episode is the same one they had on at Christmas last year isn't it?

You'll have to browse to another page then click enable.

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.
