So true to real life! The icing on the cake is throwing the sodden, wet towel on to the bed 'cos it's always my side it is left on.....grounds for divorce ?
-
Not long back from Barcelona. What a city! Catalonian culture is a far cry from the tat of Costa del sol etc etc etc.

Margaret Thatcher ............. a right formidable leader Whats your favourite book?

I assume they've just erected the bollards .......... so they've only gone and blocked themselves in Hope the cement isn't of the quick setting variety!!
-
Nothing that a good manicure/pedicure would sort out
-
Your story mirrors mine. Hooray for Scottish dentists
-
Apology accepted...........you're a gentleman Pete:D Although the pit was long gone before I arrived I do remember the pit rows ie Doctor Terrace etc
-
I'm not old enough to remember the Doctor Pit still working!
-
Where do they put the shows now? I remember them being where the new court house is...............and on the 20 acres on Picnic Day. I can smell the toffee apples and candy floss just thinking about it!

Why Bedlington Is The Best Place To Live In Northumberland
esme replied to Blank's topic in Talk of the Town
I agree Joe. I still refer to going to Bedlington as going home even after 25+ years -
Ahh bless So the dentist did a good deed after all
-
Yep Pete, Mr Tully sounds right. You've got a superb memory, no way I could have remembered that although memories of his dentistry remain vivid!
-
Oh my God Pete! I remember that dentist at the Oval. Your right there , he was an absoloute sadist! I have a vivid memory of having a horrible, smelly rubber gas mask put over my mouth and nose before having a tooth taken out. I thought I was going to die!...Luckily I didn't and lived to tell the tale. I can also remember a dentist being in one of the houses across from where the Spar is now (at the Station) and he wasn't much better! Are there any nice dentists?

Tab smoke!.........soon to be extinguished in public places in England I believe. Any views??

OOps I missed off the 1...............UK 19 points. I was paying attention ,really
-
No I think the UK got 9 points - came 2nd last. Ireland came last. Terry Wogan reckons it was all down to 'tactical' voting

Serbia won. I watched it while tackling 3 weeks worth of ironing ( the ironing was more entertaining ) Can't believe I just admitted to watching Eurovision AND ironing on a saturday night - oh how times have changed!
-
yeah it was Jeans Shop...Jean Smiths shop
-
Yep and if you didn't have any water handy to make it work you spat on it!
-
You used to be able to buy them by the bucket load in Smiths shop in Millbank Road (is it still there?)........along with loads of other gorgeous sweets in a 5p mix. Remember Bazzooka Bubble Gum?

Exacty. What benefit would be gained from the Home Office employing potential police officers on the basis of their ethnicity/colour. Surely the person should primarily be academically qualified to do the job in hand? I saw some of this item as well. The Aisian guy was very realistic and admitted that he had failed the police entrance exam, therefore he was not fully qualified to do the job.
-
Yep. It would certainly be a shame to replace one eyesore with another.

That poor old building was my very first school - St Cuthberts First School (about 38 years ago!) The Headmistress then was called Miss Oliver (I think) and my teacher was called Mrs Fox. When it closed down we all moved to Whitley Memorial School (the old one before it was knocked down - or did it get burned down I can't quite remember) Anyway it is a shame to see it in this state. What an eyesore right in the middle of the Front Street.
