Cleggies plan to get some seats and win the beer.

a pint for a pint - seems a fair swap to me !!!
I think it was half a bottle.

at one time Guinness and stout were prescribed for pregnant women and those who had just given birth -- see how the NHS has gone down hill!!!
They used to give Guinness or Mackeson to blood doners at one time, mind that was a while ago.

Big Stakes Cleggy eh.......Some blokes spill more than that down their Tie on a Friday night.
Cleggies probably on the floor with a glass collecting the drops off the ties, save him paying out when he looses the bet.

Pete, to paraphrase Harold Macmillan and Oscar Wilde: consequences dear boy, consequences. Cameroooony back in No10 ... run for cover if you're poor or ill or just about surviving whilst in work; cheer if you're some posh, rich fat cat bleeding the rest dry. Don't waste your vital vote on the kipper vanity project.
For years I've stated here that that all politicians are shysters and cheats, none of whom can be trusted. The basic measure that folks can take is who is more likely to ensure what's best for my family (or folks like me). Who's more likely to lend support in times of stress/hardship/illness and who's likely to stiff you good and proper, with a blunt stick, up the jacksy? Europe and/or immigration really hasn't much negative bearing upon most of us ... these issues only interest those with a particular axe to grind.
Still voting UKIP Symptoms, the EU is a big issue with me.

Mine came out at 82% Conservative and 78% UKIP, I know thats wrong as I am 100% UKIP

The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate father to start their family. On the day the proxy father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife goodbye and said, "Well, I'm off now. The man should be here soon."
Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby photographer happened to ring the doorbell, hoping to make a sale.
"Good morning, Ma'am", he said, "I've come to..."
"Oh, no need to explain," Mrs. Smith cut in, embarrassed, "I've been expecting you."
"Have you really?" said the photographer. "Well, that's good. Did you know babies are my specialty?"
"Well that's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seatâ€
After a moment she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we start?"
"Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch, and perhaps a couple on the bed. And sometimes the living room floor is fun. You can really spread out there."
"Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work out for Harry and me!"
"Well, Ma'am, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But if we try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven angles, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results."
"My, that's a lot!" gasped Mrs. Smith.
"Ma'am, in my line of work a man has to take his time. I'd love to be in and out in five minutes, but I'm sure you'd be disappointed with that."
"Don't I know it," said Mrs. Smith quietly.
The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his baby pictures. "This was done on the top of a bus," he said.
"Oh my!" Mrs. Smith exclaimed, grasping at her throat.
"And these twins turned out exceptionally well - when you consider her mother was so difficult to work with."
"She was difficult?" asked Mrs. Smith.
"Yes, I'm afraid so. I finally had to take her to the park to get the job done right. People were crowding around four and five deep to get a good look."
"Four and five deep?" said Mrs. Smith, her eyes wide with amazement.
"Yes", the photographer replied. "And for more than three hours, too. The mother was constantly squealing and yelling - I could hardly concentrate, and when darkness approached I had to rush my shots. Finally, when the squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I just had to pack it all in."
Mrs. Smith leaned forward. "Do you mean they actually chewed on your, um... equipment?"
"It's true, Ma'am, yes. Well, if you're ready, I'll set-up my tripod and we can get to work right away."
"Tripod?"
"Oh yes, Ma'am. I need to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too heavy to be held in the hand very long."
With that, Mrs. Smith fainted.

An elderly couple walk into a fast food outlet. They order one hamburger, one packet of fries and one drink.
The old man unwraps the hamburger and carefully cuts it in half. He places one half in front of his wife and the other half in front of himself. He counts out the fries and puts them into two piles placing one pile in front of his wife, the other in front of himself. He then takes the drink and has one sip his wife also has one sip and they place the drink in the centre of the table. As he starts to eat his half of the hamburger, the people on the other tables start looking over and whispering "that poor old couple can only afford one meal between themâ€
As the old man begins to eat his fries a young man comes over to the table. He politely offers to buy another meal for the old couple. The old man replies that they are just fine, they are just used to sharing everything.
The surrounding people notice that the old lady has not eaten anything she sits there watching her husband eat and occasionally takes a turn sipping the drink.
Again the young man comes over and begs them to let him buy them another meal. This time the old woman says "no thank you, we are just used to sharing everything.
As the old man finishes and wipes his face with a napkin, the young man again comes over to the little old lady who has yet to eat a single bite of food and asks "may I ask what it is you are waiting for?â€
The old lady answers

"the theory of men in feathery wings remain in my mind to be complete misinterpretations,of what actually happened,in biblical times,by peasants,[or even intelligent people],who would never have been able to understand what they were witnessing"
This is certainly extremely feasible, and most likely explains quite a lot of the odd and unfamiliar descriptions in the bible.
Merc, having read the Bible and I will point out that I am no expert and do not have loads of knowledge on the subject, but I can not find anywhere in the Bible that describes angel with wings.
The word, angel comes from the Greek word ággelos which means messenger. Aggelos can be applied to men who carry messages as well as those created higher than men that we refer to as angelic beings. (Before anyone starts jumping up and down, my reference to men carrying messages is not sexist, just trying to explain the word, aggelos)
An example of the use of the word, angel, can be found in Revelation chapter one verse twenty where the seven stars that Christ holds in his hand are the seven angels (messengers) to the seven churches. There are many more examples but that is just one of them.
I somtimes think that a lot of the early artists are to blame for this picture that we have in our minds that angels have wings, as they where commisioned to paint Biblical scence to be used as a naratives for teaching the people of the time. Perhaps it was a way of making them understand (birds need wings fly in the heavens)

Don't think I can Merc, but I will name the ones that I know about. Gabreal, Michael and lucifer (satan)
-
Yes Merc, I agree, not on the point of the Biblical stories being exaggerated but definitly on pin pointing dates. Theres a big question at the moment, did Exodus really happen. This question has been raised because it does not fit with the wordl view on time and dates.
There has been a documentry made that looks at this problem of fitting the Exodus dates to the world view dates unfortunatly its not been released in the UK (at the moment anyway) The documentry has been made by Bible believers and none believers.

HPW.
I am not ashamd to say, I believe the Bible from cover to cover, now weather I interpret it the same way as other do, may be not.
-
Some angels may have wings, its an interesting question.

All this hot air floating around about this party and that party is quite entertaining - we all have our beliefs and favourites but the sad thing is that some folk have been so indoctrinated whether by upbringing or social status that they cannot see the wood for the trees as the saying goes. We the folk of Bedlington will be casting the right vote for the future at the May election and don't be surprised if UKIP come out tops - I know who I will be voting for.
UKIP will deffo get my vote

Maybe "Arch" the "development arm" of NCC will step in and give us all a surprise. Watch that space.
Just checked thier web site, plenty of possibilities.

What happens to Bedlington now? - ghost town looming - perhaps it's time to sell up and move.
It's sad news for the employees, but, is there an opportunity there? If there was enough interest could a local consortium (peoples local coop) not take it over and run it for the people of Bedlington. It could still be profit driven and promises could be kept unlike promises made by Tesco. It could take Bedlington back to the days of Milne's department store and that brought people in from other towns.
Tesco gone, end of Bedlington, never.

Kia-Ora Orange Squash ... yuk! I have a clear memory of it tasting like paraffin. Vile stuff.
Yes. but it tasted nice on warm night. The best thing was you could have your tab whilst watching the big picture, no smoking ban in them days. Bring back the old days, oh for another look at Pearl and Dean or do these modern cinemas still have the Pearl and Dean adverts.

Jack Tait, Jackie Rol, Jimmy Cummings were the three torchies. Peggy Frazer was the ice cream lady who appeared near the exit left hand side of the sceen to sell ice cream and cartons of orange juice.
