  1. Manly Sea Eagles shed Sydney Roosters as their 'bogey team' We will soon see about that Eh Brian Calgary is our "Sunderland"
  2. Good point Canny Lass, I think the first and most important point would to get the cooncil to approve in principal to having an approved Miner's Memorial located in the Market Square area! not down in some remote park or un-monitored area as it would be a pity to have it vandalized! The location may also have a bearing on the design!
  3. I can vouch for that Canny Lass.
  4. That about sums it up! I consider myself lucky to grow up in such "hard times†with great parents. Is this your writing Malcolm? love it
  5. Och aye 0 Och nah 1,000,000,000 Sorry Eggy nah's win!.
  6. A great comedian, a great character! I wish him well!
  7. Happy birthday Dajazer, hope your having a great day!
  8. Happy Birthday Malcolm, hope you have a great day!
  9. Modern technology is very good and improving, at work we have built a "Green Building†(a gun range/ training building) it has two wind powered generators (was going to be one large but two smaller are higher cost but easier serviced etc) and we also have a large solar panel array. The solar and wind turbines both feed the green building, the building also has solar heat windows/ shutters and heat walls also composting toilets. Most days we are putting power back into the grid, and getting paid for it! We are now being funded to add LED outside lighting and Solar/LED roadway lighting! That being said we don't have neighbours or aesthetics to consider!
  10. I remember in my day the "Dawes Double Blue†was the most wanted racer!
  11. Thanks Maggie, my guess is it's either experimental changes or more likely maintenance issues!
  12. Hi Maggie, are you saying the turbines on the pier have been taken down? how about the ones built out at sea?
  13. Here is some interesting reading about CWS bicycles, but I think the logo on your bicycle might be a Royal Enfield. http://oldbike.wordpress.com/1939-cws-co-op-delivery-cycle/ https://www.google.ca/search?q=royal+enfield+bicycle&rlz=1C1CHMO_en&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=65ooUvbIH8XJhAfGmYD4Ag&ved=0CDsQsAQ&biw=1280&bih=687
  14. GGG, My first problem after the install was when I opened Internet Explorer, it had changed to "Bing†homepage with toolbar, (it was always http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/) and it said it was a threat! everything else I tied was a threat and real slow, I got nervous and deleted!
  15. I also read the install screens and didn't take any extras. 834 problems! an obvious scam to get you to pay for the "better" program! "Not a good idea" I tried it, after several side tracks like install for mobile devices! then everthing was VERY slow, and EVERYTHING I opened was a "Potential threat" and we can save you if you BUY the better version, but it did un-install very easily! and everything back to normal! AVG on this laptop and (dreaded and unremovable) Norton on the desktop.
  16. Not good! but like the famous quote of the day "No publicity is bad†I think most people will see the broader picture of the community centre and all the good it does, weed out the bad apples and you have possibly turned it into bonus publicity!
  17. Nice one 3G! "remove 15 problems and pay to remove the 834 others" and it also installed Amazon toolbar! Now to clean up this mess! In future I'll stay with AVG or Norton!
  18. Sticky milk or sugar thats all my wife puts on pancackes or crepes!
  19. Local bylaws allow three animals, two and one, cats or dogs but not everyone follows it! I think it is $20 per year for dog same for cats, our last cat was a house cat, and never went outside, hence no tag! (in the past we lost too many cats to the coyotes and other wild beasties.)
  20. Sorry to hear that Keith, we lost ours almost two years ago, she was over 18 years old, we have had many offers of cats and dogs, kittens and puppies, but my wife was not ready. Four weeks ago a stray kitty found us, and adopted us! Now Lippy (he was very vocal) has a vet appointment in two weeks. We don't have a vet in town and only get one every Wednesday, that's when they recoup their travel costs! $$$, Fixed, shots, licence etc, its a big road trip when they are sick or injured!
  21. Good to see you back Canny Lass! I hope your recovery is getting easier and you're getting more mobile and comfortable, and you soon get back to your old self. Looking forward to your postings, they have been missed!
  22. Hi John, will it be streamed on the internet? if it is will there be a link on Bedlington.co.uk ? what will be your hours broadcasting?
  23. I think if you look at the old Miner's Picnics and you'd see that the mining community was a very close family that moved freely around the area, just look at the different pits that HPW worked in! and the names from all over the area that had Bedlington connections. I'm sure if there was an death underground you would find a Bedlington miner in the rescue or recovery team!
  24. Caad tetties, chips, crisps or owt left on the dinner plate! there wasn't much of a loaf left after my brother and I had egg'n chips! Hmm!I think I know why I had that heart attack! O.T. Anyone hear from Canny Lass?
