Holy cow, well at least it looks like I go out either having fun or completely with no marbles...lol

About 10 thousand pounds?

New Zealand, Im half way to achieving my goal.

Lol do I still count?

You need an Asian restaurant. Chinese is good but Thai, Indonesian, Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean (Asian BBQ style yummy)...........and the rest would blow your minds. Living without these choices for me now would be a huge jump backwards.

The Indian restaurant ashianna is good in the sense that the proprieter knows that even a small amount of servive and food with flavour but not over powering can go a long way.

Mind you I cant say much, fish and chips out here are shocking (not fresh) and some days the things I would give for a greggs pastie..........gahhhhhhhhh.

lol

Generally cases like this, the person taken has usually been murdered.

I think there is not much chance of finding her.

Happy Birthday to you!!!!!!

I am certainly not going to go off on one, but i will make this point:

i come here to catch up on bedlington and the surrounding areas issues. However, as pointed out many times, i also like the off topic banter, and the creation of chat central in my eyes was a brilliant ploy!

Now, today, i come online (as i always do, sometimes 4 or 5 times a day) to see whats changed. today i see a very good point made in TOTT, something i have heared about today at work: wansbeck is on its way out! I post my inquisitive reply for more info and move on. where i see more has appeared about the proposed power station at cambois: Great! more topical info for me to discuss tommorrow!

Next i would have went into CC for the usual banter, where i could let my hair down and have a little fun.

But, what do i find? Yet another Good topic about the town Way off topic. Not 1 new post about the power station at all!

This is what gets to me about this site, you go to look at a topic you are interested in and all you find is a load of drivel about how unappy people are, or another sexual inuendo, or one member slagging another member off, or one of many other comments that has nothing at all to do with the topic. Most of these 'off topic' posts are also full of bad language.

A while ago i was going to leave the forum alltogether, i was so sick of it, but i thought wait, maybe i can do something about this: so i took action, asked threegee if i could help out, split the bad stuff out and threw it in the chat area for further discussion. (whereas it would just get deleted before, so the issues never resolved)

I cleaned up the posts of swearing, and took a great deal of my time making sure i checked every new post, editing out the bad, but leaving the main point behind for discussion.

The thing is, everytime i did something, a wall appeared a little higher. certain members worked as hard as i did undoing my hard work, others changed their names to try to confuse me, and many others were just looking for the line i had drawn, testing the boundaries.(which i can cope with!)

a few warnings later, all seemed to be going well, people were well on their way to getting their accounts cleared of warnings, and everyone seamed content. Then it got personal.

Whoever it was that left the note on my car, Thankyou. It made me realise how much time i was wasting trying to create a safe environment on this forum.

I really couldnt care less about idle threats on notepaper. in the line of work i used to do i was confronted with people on a daily basis that actually carried out their threats, not little children that cannot even look me in the eye.

Now, back to my main point. Myself and a few others thought i was doing a really good job on the site, the real extent of actual town topics revealed themselves as hardly any posts remained in TOTT, and the chat area, relieved of the outlet for members to swear and abuse each other, started calming down, with a few nice games appearing to keep people coming back. But it seams that is not what you want.

Members of this site seem to be quite content just letting any comment that anyone wants to post stay. Any swearing, howsoever graphic, should be left alone as it is the right of the poster to say what they like, and stuff anyone who visits the site.

So what if their offended by whats put here? after all, who's heard of bedlington anyways? And why cant the board members make the moderators lives a misery?

I forget who mentioned it before, but it was mentioned that they had not seen that much questionable material. I only wish i had cut and pasted most of it, and posted it somewhere else where you could see it. Perhaps you dont see most of it as the four people who can do anything about it are working so hard removing it every day.

I guess i did go off on one after all, but it just annoys me that a site i have made my daily read has an area for topical info that just turns to crap at the turn of a hat, when a place for that has been created for you, and a moderator supplied free of charge to make sure it stays that way, but who has been forced to ask for his name to be removed because of all the static he gets for doing it.

Am i a little too strict? maybe, but i think rules need to be made and those rules need to be stuck to. That way everyone knows where they stand. Yes, i did make mistakes. I have bad moods like everyone else. some of you got on the wrong side of those moods, and appologies were made and the action corrected. Do i take this too seriously? maybe, but this is my home towns website, and i dont want anyone thinking i come from a place full of idiots with no opinions other than how to swear and !*!@# people off.

Its the likes of Pete, Joe, Tokyo and others that i feel sorry for. They use this as a means to keep in touch with their birthplace, and I am ashamed to be a part of it.

Rant Over!

Yes thats right I miss Bedlington.....sometimes I crave the lovely surroundings and spending time with people who I grew up with.

I dont totally agree that all the naughty words were a bad thing, at the end of the day most people who use the site already know the words and the internet is like a culture melting pot everyone has to take posters as they come....there is the flipside, those that say these words need to think of others before they post and find that middle ground.

Bedlington is well represented by everyone here, all of the personalities that you would find out and about in and around the town are here......you all know who you are and where you fit in, serious, love a laugh or knowlegeable you all fit into one box...........Bedlington

I sometimes dream of home and in all its raw glory Bedlington is one thing......smack bang wallop in one of the most gorgeous parts of the British Isles (if not the most gorgeous!).

Nope, the only time you will see new content after you first load the page is by either re-enter the page or press f5 (refresh)

And neither did you!

Possibly someone quickly came in after you, posted, then left, as it only records who is reading the message when you first look at it. it wont show people who enter after you.

So it would not show a new post from someone else come up? I did not see cympils post come on while I was typing???????

You did not carry on the game!
