ex Bedlingtonian

I remember many, many years ago, when the Co-op was still there, they announced they were going to close.  The then Council persuaded them to stay open for a further 6 months, whilst telling the town "use it or loose it".  The people still didn't use it, so the Co-op closed.  It is all very well calling for shops, but when they were there people didn't use them.

Not for me either foxy, which is really odd because Mr. ExB, sitting right next to me, can get it on his laptop.

Missing the camera! Is it going to be coming back soon?

So it isn't just me then.

As asked for by Ex Bedlington but it might be useful for everyone. Trying to get one with a bit more focus on the boundary between East and West councils.

D**n, Mr. Ex B wins that argument then.

Malcolm, can you clarify the east/west Bedlington Council boundaries - there is a bit of an argument going on here between myself and Mr. ex-B.

Well I don't sit and watch it all day, but if I see car lights flashing I will presume it is you.

They look pretty good on the "live" feed if you take a look at night.

I agree with Mrs Sym, olive oil, yoghurt and no salt is much better.

Political debate is fine by me too.  Those who don't want it don't have to read it.

Turned out in force to my son's house fire this morning GGG.

 

And my D-In-L works for them so great guys!  (and women!)  

Hope no-one was hurt Malcolm.

Sorry, no offense intended - just curious.

"Serious stuff about Bedlington, the wider Bedlingtonshire area,"

What has he got to do with the town?

Am I missing something here - why is "Bryan Ferry" in "Talk of the Town"?

I saw GGGG up a set of ladders!

Posted by Malcolm back in September I think.

Can't have the lump sum tax free as the rules have changed...It was the Tories who changed it to get tax in there treasury

Robbing ********....

I am not absolutely certain on this one, but the way I read it was you didn't have to take the 25% lump sum all in one go, but could take smaller amounts at a time and the first 25% if each of these amounts would be tax free.  Would this not amount to the same thing in the long run?

"Update: Could you pass a Scottish citizen test"?

Only one wrong.

The Culture Show last night was an interview with Hilary Mantel.

It was very interesting and thought provoking.

I have managed to get to download IPlayer in Europe but I believe you need a UK / IP address.

Hope you can see it Symptoms; wherever you are!

Happy Birthday Malcolm.

Somebody needs to take his pocket money away.

But do we want to spoil it for ourselves by bringing in too many tourists?

Conjugation ex-B or translation? 

 

Damm  those French verbs!

Few guesses really, and the two I got wrong I knew the right answer but doubted myself. . Think the Italian helped a bit too.

Or as my grandmother told her mother when working in a munitions factory in Scotland, and asked if she was saving for a rainy day - "it always rains in Scotland mother".  Be careful one day you don't wake up old and infirm and not able to enjoy what you have saved so hard for!  Somewhere there is a middle ground.
