This is also untrue.

It might be one of those space saving swimming pools that disappear when you turn your back on it.

Because the majority of protesters in London today don't even know what they are protesting against themselves. Interestingly it was amusing to watch how many are wielding expensive top of the range Canon DSLR's and Sony video cameras produced by "The Man"

Yes but there are two seperate things at work here, the cost of oil and the tax. Whilst the price of petrol may have fallen since last year this is because of a fall in the price of oil back to "reasonable" levels. A fall in the price of oil does not mean that the tax levied on it should be allowed to increase. Increasing the tax on fuel at times of low oil prices is a very easy way to slip in a tax increase without people noticing, do it on the same day as another major news story and it's even easier.

Conveniently on a day where the media is pre-occupied with the G20 summit.

Is this somebody jumping the gun on April fools' day?

Lead is just a standard CAT5 patch cable if you need a new one make sure you don't get conned into buying an "official XBox one" for a tenner or whatever they charge.

Made me chuckle a bit that did.

I'll take a Tesla S

Yeah the Bedderberg Group just got a little larger.

It's 2.0 don't you know? Point taken though should probably change it.

Is anybody using XBox Live? I'm pretty limited in the games I have but i'm sure I could beg steal and borrow a few more?

If you had 3 words to describe Bedlington what would they be? I realise this has the potential to end up as a typical town bashing but it's for a serious purpose so please try not to be too predictable and keep them positive. These could be adjectives, landmarks or any other word you would associate with the town.

I think I read somewhere they have a minimum 6 month lag period for privacy reasons.

Yeah media player 11 will run on standard XP installs. "Genuine Advantage" validated of course I agree though Channel 4 definately needs to rethink its player, unfortunately their business model and reliance on traditional advertising revenue prevents them from doing this.

Could be Vauxhall. GM are in major troubles at the moment. Not sure there would be 6000 employed at Vauxhall directly, could he be meaning indirectly through suppliers as well?

Likely foxes. They sound very much like a "strangled howl" http://www.angelfire.com/ar2/thefoxden/call.wav http://www.angelfire.com/ar2/thefoxden/sounds.html

A dog was found today at 4pm in the car park behind Bedlington Front Street Post Office, pm me if you think it might be yours or you know who's it is. Update 24th February 2009: Owner not found, now at Longbenton Cat & Dog Shelter if anybody would like to re-home a Staffie bitch pup.

Could a moderator please move this post, I think it belongs in the jokes forum.

It was an accident just up the road from Keenleysides. Apparantly one fatality. By the sounds of it a car was turning right at the junction or the little car park not sure which across the oncoming traffic and there was a collision with a motorbike. All heard second hand from people close to the scene, nothing confirmed.

Santa's Bad Day One particular Christmas season a long time ago, Santa was getting ready for is annual trip, but there were problems everywhere. Four of his elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the regular ones so Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule. Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her mom was coming to visit. This stressed Santa even more. When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and were out, heaven knows where. More stress. Then when he began to load the sleigh one of the boards cracked, and the toy bag fell to the round and scattered the toys. So, frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered that the elves had hidden the liquor, and there was nothing to drink. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider pot, and it broke into hundreds of little pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw end of the broom. Just then the doorbell rang, and irritable Santa trudged to the door. He opened the door, and there was a little angel with a great Christmas tree. The angel said, very cheerfully, "Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't it a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?" Thus began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.

Time to dust off the Bedlington.co.uk Santa hat yet?
