Twas meant to be an image of Grumpy Bear. I tried!

The beare of bad tidings

I had it too it lasted about 5 weeks from start to finish! Was bedridden at one point and the doc said, well it's not bacterial so you'll just have to live with it! Very nasty indeed.

I hope it's a large box of chocolates or a large bottle of champers as I think that's what she'd appreciate!

Keep your feet still hinny is the song the whole school learns! My class is doing Cushy Butterfield so any ideas about that would be useful! CK - Why so negative man? I'm just trying to instill a sense of pride in their locality. Thankyou Miss Vic, I think we have proggy ladies coming already but I know who to call if it falls through. Cheers Swalnalla He is a yorkshire man I thought! You'll know Ewok! (You can ask him for me if you like, only thing is it's during school time.)

Please! Anybody?

The school I work at is having a Northumbrian week. (At the end of this term so it's quite soon,) I was just wondering if there are any Northumbrians out there with skills that they could come into school and show/share? The type of things I'm hoping for are peopel who play traditional instruments from round here, people who can do traditional crafts, histiorians, etc Private message me if you are interested, thanks!

I thought it only happened once with one car though! Seems extreme. The Sun always had a sign 'parking for patrons only, vehicles left at own risk.' If customers couldn't get into the car park because of the cars of non-customers then they put a polite note on the windscreen and it seemed to do the trick. I won't be frequenting either pub until the clamping nonsense has stopped, (I'm doing really well at sticking to my guns although the lure of alcohol is great!). Honestly barlass if your boss listens to you, you need to tell him that the public think it's a disgrace, (it's been the topic of conversation in other places.)

You should have a night in with my dad!

Ah joe how lovely are you! I wish you were my uncle.

Yeah that David who wrote 'Denise I love you David.' Does anyone know anything about that historical bit of graffiti anyway? Whenever I drive under the black bridge I like to think Denise and David lived happily ever after. Does anyone know if they did?

ooh how very dare you. No my friend. I'm just voicing my opinion and making sure I see things from both sides. I still think the clamping is an unnecessary evil. (Esp by a certain pub that didn't actually have a parking problem to begin with, even during the good old busy years!)

Not being nasty! It's just what I've heard. Obviously my sources are unreliable. I just thought that the clamping was a way of boosting the old cash flow. I go in for a drink sometimes, it's the only pub in Bedlington with Raspberry Absolut Vodka! Go tavern.

Barr lass, of course it's your right if you own a pub. But for example, so is charging £5 entry fee. Neither will make any friends I'm afraid. It's giving the pub an image of being unapproachable. (So do the police cars/riot vans ...I've only witnessed them once mind!)

I like the carvery. It's somewhere you can put cranberry, mint sauce and apple sauce on the same plate and nobody thinks you're wierd! mmm

Definately! (don't know how long I'll last though!) But surely if trade is up you shouldn't need such a snidey scheme. I think it stinks. It stinks of poo. Trade will not be getting better cos the pub's clamping people!!!!

As for the clamping scam, the Sun Inn are doing it too.

I know.. don't make me feel any worse than I do already!

Happy birthday to Miss Vic. wishing you success and happiness in your ??th year!

I was walking over the road from the Sun Inn to the HSBC bank on the Front Street today and saw that a chunk of stone has been smashed off the corner of the market cross monument. It's only about 4 inches square but it looks really obvious as the sandstone underneath is bright. It looks like someone has smashed it off deliberately. Its a real shame because the lump of rock is still lying in the road next to it. Anybody who knows anybody who can fix it please go and get the piece of stone before it gets smashed too! I know monuments etc get natural wear and tear but at least that looks natural, this just looks awful and it makes me worry that now a bit has come off anybody sitting on it may pick or scrape away at it.

And me! Make it a good one people

Er. Nah!!

Happy B-day CK. Enjoy your annual bottle of cheap plonk from me and the hair. Although seeing the state of you this morning I think it's time for a detox. Only joking marra, you looked fresh as a daisy.

Chill oot bar lass. I don't think they should park in your car park either. I always park in prestos. But these strong dray men should be able to roll the barrels a few yards if there is a car in the way! There was no access to the cellar in the bar I used to work in in Tenerife except from across a busy shopping precinct, through the pub and down some broken down wooden stairs. English drayspeople have it too easy! One last thought on the matter, imagine if they build on the big car park, (I've heard rumours of it,) then you'll know what parking problems are.

It's very clear and very cold. Frost nearly every night now.
