Elizabeth Coultard was in my class, very nice Lass, what was the name of her freind with the platinum blonde hair??

How about John Bowman, Michael Furlong or Desa Reay they all lived near the Bank top?

Fantastic Keith, just what I wanted, Thank you

I saw some class pics a while ago on here and now I cant find them, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Happy Birthday Merc, All the best mate

Back in 1986 I was working construction at the Philadelphia North East airport we were adding a building at the base of the control tower to train air traffic controllers, we had to dig over 30 Feet down through clay to reach bedrock and pour the concrete footings, I was in the trench nearest the tower when I saw a dark streak in the clay from the surface, at about 25 feet a hard chunk was sticking out so I got closer and pried it loose with my claw hammer, it was very heavy and mettalic, oval shape and about the size of a pancake, about 2 inches thick and kind of curved inward. a sledge hammer could not put a dent in it. it had a bubbly kind of surface. I cleaned it up and took it home where it sat on my porch for years as a doorstop until my son Jonathan needed something for his Science fair at school so he took the rock. It sits in the science class to this day in a glass case, and they Identified it at Penn state university as a Meteorite, They think I donated it to the school which I suppose I did but they valued it at over $10,000.00 !!!!! Moral...........Easy Come Easy Go

I just remembered seeing Roy Orbison at the Haymarket in the Tatler club, 3.00 pounds entrance fee and we were the only ones in the room apart from a pair of drunk gay gentlemen singing their heads off, Roy may have had a few too many as weell cos neebody wes in tune that night, 1971 sounds about right

I have one of her CD,s and play it often, The auld broon mare is great

Malcolm you are correct, its the dust kicked up by the Combine since its in line with the rows of the field that is being cut, I wonder if the driver has a gas mask on???

If you follow the blyth river to its source above Ponteland near the airport you will see all the fields that have been discharging pesticides and fertilizers along the way into our lovely little stream, the fish never seemed to mind and we all swam in it and remember all the DDT that killed most of our wildlife for decades, I never saw a fox or a Magpie that I can remember when I was young but they are fine now so it seems. If you Google map the river and follow it upstream you can see some buildings that are on fire near the bank, anyone know what that might be??

Welcome Geoff

How about opening up some old pit shafts and diverting the water down there???

Oops, almost forgot................. The real and best cure for a hangover is... 1. try to drink a glass of water for each drink you have, tough one I know. 2. drink the clearest booze you can, Vodka, Gin etc. 3. take a B6 vitamin before you start. 4. do not keep switching types of alchohol. 5. take a B6 when you are done. 6. have a glass of water, a glass of Orange juice and another B6 on your night stand for when you wake. 7. DO NOT take any pain killers, they will make it harder for your Liver to recover, have some more water. 8. if you can get more sleep, but do not miss work, even if you are a wreck it will teach you for next time. So here you are folks, this will work so the first one to try it can report on its success, or failure.... Good Luck to the lot of you!!!

I learned at quite a young age while in the merchant Marine that hangovers would not be any excuse to miss work and at least a day up to a weeks pay would be forfeited if you did so my cure for hangovers was to know when I had enough and get to bed on time, even today at age 59 I cannot recall a day that I missed work because of drink, and I do like to drink

That is a Ford Cortina in the first pic, I had a 69 as my 2nd car, so we can date this pic as late 60,s or early 70,s
