Lets face it, presto's car park is big enough, never found a lack of spaces there! Shouldn't have to park in tavern car park, (don't think I would anyway for fear of vandals).

However I don't think the Tavern is doing itself any favours, I agree with Pete and his customer relations comment. The tavern is coming across as isolating itself. After all, I doubt the car park is heaving with customer's cars.

Yes it used to be the Howard. Then they had a fire. Then all the customers started going to the Sun when me dad had it. It was great for business! Then it became the Tavern.

Bon Anniversaire !

(Don't waste your day on this message board man!)

And you Madam, I feel like a Dutch Uncle on hearing of your good fortune. Is it in education, or in another field?

Ah thankyou! Yeah it's in education, I'm a teacher at last! Nurturing the future generation.

Yey! It's our lucky week! If I see you tonight I'll get you a drink if u get me one!

Thankyou for sticking up for me, but there's no need to shout!

(i was just seeing if I could figure that out!)

eeeeeeeeeee

celebrate good times come on!

Meaning what exactly?

Just that you're usually blowing your own trumpet.

Why do we all bite at the Denzel's remarks? I figure some positive re-enforcement will crack his twisty exterior and a lovely PC, gregarious Denzel will emerge like a gorgeous butterfly energing from a dry and bitter chrysalis.

I think that we should use this thread to record all the nice things Denzel has said on here or to us lucky enough to know him, the nice things he has done.

Arrr.

I'll start shall I....

He sometimes calls me 'sweetheart' or 'darling.' Its nice. I like it (cos I'm not a feminist.)

Caution, blowing of own trumpet in progress.

Not at all. It's a fact. I did a job that I was overqualified for and when they found out I was applying for a teacher job they wanted rid. Anyway, I've worked really hard to get the qualifications I have so I'm not ashamed of mentioning them.

(This comment coming from the Denzel!)

At least I have a reason to big myself up for once.

I don't think I'm better than everybody else and put their comments down to create a more interesting persona on this forum....hmm who could I be talking about!!

I just don't understand why people sit at home all day bored when they could be either working or going and learning again at college. Fair enough I havent got the best of jobs but at least Im at college doing something about it. Everyone does what they want to do but who wants to sit round doing nowt when you could be out earning money, the unemployed population get it too easy in our days but what would they all do if benefits didnt exist, they'd have to work!!Dont want you to think Im aiming that comment at you swalnalla but theres alot of school leavers who go on the dole and then end up in prison coz they'd rather commit crimes than go and get a job, how pathetic!!

You're not thinking deep enough bar lass. Me and Miss Vic r qualified teachers who often sit at home 'doing nowt' at the minute. That's because employers don't like to employ overqualified people who just leave as soon as something they really want comes along. Also it would look pap on our CV, like we aren't commited to teaching, so we do supply which, at the minute is on the quiet side which results in lots of sitting at home, (Never doing'nowt' I assure you.) Not everybody does it out of choice...I would much rather be working but the fact is there is great competition for qualified jobs in this area.

It could be that some people have a different set of values Barlass, a few years ago I was informed that I had cancer, that changed everything. Career, housing, cars, money and even education aren't important any more and having the occasional luxury of sitting around doing 'nowt', I love it.

Good for you. Everybody wants the good life. It depends on what you think the good life is. Some people are money motivated and the latest car or the swishest property will make them happy. I think as long as I have friends and family around me, I'm doing something I see to be worthwhile and I have enough cash to go out for a pint at the weekend I'll be happy. I also see a little bit of stress in your job to be a good thing to motivate, but I cannot see the point in so much stress that it causes health problems and worry. No job is worth that, life's too short. The head of the PGCE course at Newcsatle Uni left a really high paid job in Jan last year to go and be self sufficient in France and I think that's so admirable.

All out in the open now I see! See I told you it's nothing to be ashamed of. It's not like the crabs or something... is it Denzel?

Hopefully not for much longer; job interview on 14th December.

Where is your interview? Good luck. I had another 1 today...didn't get it. Lack of experience again! If someone would employ me I'd get experience. grrrrrr.

What do you mean the right order? Alphabetically or what? I am pretty sure about 7.

heres todays little pic, although i thinkmost people know this one!!

Ya right, I'll not spoil it for evryone by being swotty and giving the answer straight away!.

your wish....and all that!

That's easy!!

Where is it then! Waiting with baited breath

nice shot of the market tavern there...for a minute i thought we were gonna see the 'painter' in action...

is that of someone we know???

Some of us are 'fortunate' enough to know him. BUt no he doesn't post on here. (He is usually too drunk!)

(The shirt is replay it cost him what I spend on my wardrobe in a year!)

not this intellegent

you tube

You've made him look like the village idiot by posting that on here! Heh Heh.

Where was the job?

Shy bairns and all that!

"God forbid that I be condemned to listen to, or read only those with whom I agree

.

I often find CK or Denzel, or several others a little mundane, or even boring. But I look forward to their opinions. They occasionally surprise, and delight me."

I find the colonel and denzels contributions to this community anything but boring. Indeed i find denzels sense of humour, helps to brighten my other wise dull days as i check the community every day. I have been accessing this site for almost a year and whilst i have not met either of the afore mentioned gentleman, calling these upstanding citizens boring and dull as joe has done is a little harsh. As far as i have seen denzel and the colonel epitomise the spirit of this site and of bedlington!!!

(This is my first post but will def not be my last as I have been riled into action by Joe)

Hey lads, introducing the founding member of your fan club!!

brace yourselves for expanding heads when they read wanderers post!

Ahhhhh. Let's all look at pictures of ickle bunny rabbits and kittens.

Ahhh. Lets not ay.

Mr Hair's still pushing the boat out for your nights out I see.

Hey I get treated well enough thankyou.

You can take the girl out of the sun but you can't take the sun out of the girl.

No problem Joe, we've all been metrified. The old Westridge school had a large mosaic of St. Cuthbert in the lobby, I was just wondering what what happened to it after the transfer of the school and renamed Benedick Biscuit. ?

I worked there 2003-2005 and there are no mosaics anywhere, not that I saw.

Missed those, can easily picture it though!

It was a treat for the 6 or so people in the Sun Inn lounge. I will honestly remember it for the rest of my life! Wish I had video-phoned it for you-tube. The funniest thing EVER.
