Ms Hair

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!

But Colonel,

Some of us never forget. And I actually like Owen Brannigan, especially singing Keep your feet still Geordie, hinney. And for really antagonising the marble mouths of the great smoke, there's always Dilston Hall!

And a Bah Humbug to you too, sir!

Keep it up Ms Hair, you and your kids are the last defence in the battle to stay pitmatic!

Joe

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

Read them some stuff from E Martins book on local history or ask for Mr Wood at St Benets, he's

a Northumbrian bag man

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 know everyone disagrees with this clampin carry on but as I said none of us would like it if somebody parked on our driveway as its our driveway. same goes for any business its their driveway(car park) their property so why should anyone park there without permission??

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.)

Robbo marches on, defeating irritating Yorkie wassock John "John Boy" Walton 4-3.

Gan on Robbo!

You should have a night in with my dad!

Himself, I hope!

Any improvement to the self esteem is to be welcomed.

Joe

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

when (and if) you ever PASS your driving test, i'll gladly buy you a pink car with playboy stickers all over it.

i hear a good one in mustard yellow is for sale by the trotter family...

...anyone know a good spraypainter??

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?

Is Raspberry Absolut vodka good for washing down a large helping of humble pie, Ms Hair?

Just asking, like.

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

the answer is to boycott pubs that employ clamper.

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.

Happy New Year to all from me

And me! Make it a good one people

For something to do between courses can anyone put the appropriate country to the greeting/

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.

Whats the weather like it fogy down here.

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

This website was devised originally as a direct responce to the feeble and pathetic offering WDC had for Bedlington! With only his nouse and commitment to the town to work with I think Threegee did and has continued to do a superb job, all free and with no WDC support, in fact in the early days quite the opposite!

Hats off to Threegee!

Keep up the good work GGG
