John Fox (foxy)

yes i have a photo of miss muters class. 1952.

Think she wants you to put on here tony....

Thought the ex pats would like to see these pics from this afternoon.

No idea why Symp but  Carol hasn't been on since August 2011 my thoughts would be, don't interfere with their Albums.   

Robbed by the Ref.

Mine's off Pete, we'll have to call the Rediffusion 

 I can imagine seeing statements in 6 months time saying "we gave the people of Bedlington chance to have their say on proposals and barely anyone turned up".

 

Slightly harsh but it reminds me of a book I once read...

Couldn't agree more with that Pauls, they really need to get it right this time because they're not going to be able to......  "Blame the Last Administration"

Hmmm ....

 

Maybe David Cameron is the best to ask about that method. I believe his own 'conkers' received much the same treatment!

The parking bays have eased a problem and very welcome as far as I'm concerned.

And from an outsider looking in,..What a cracking good forum we have here!! 

We used to put our conks in the airing cupboard to dry out and become harder but you eventually came up against one that would beat you.  The string was also an important element ... the only stuff that seemed to be readily available snapped fairly easily so we used boot laces which because they were plaited never broke.

 

In the Karting Club run by Edgar 'Taffy' Williams at Westridge School we used to make the kart seats out of fibreglass;  the various resins came in blue gallon cans (I still remember the name of the supplier - Trylon) and when mixed with the catalyst would go 'rock' hard.  My Mum was a great home baker who had one of those icing syringe sets which I 'borrowed' and filled with some of resin during a club session in the school workshop and then injected a hollowed-out conk to fill the void.  When the stuff set a hole was drilled (on Taffy's drilling machine) through the conk for the lace ... and a champion was born.

 

My Mum never did find out what happened to her icing syringe ... all clagged-up with resin residue and dumped in the workshop bin.

You have a way with words 

Why would trains not stop at the Station

Latest news from tonights meeting Brian, SENRUG the  campaign group  do want  Bedlington Station reopened.  I also got the impression  Ashington  would probably be a priority if County Hall were relocated there,  as Cilla Black would say................   

 Surprise Surprise!!  

They must have heard the Benefits are better here. 

Probably not, I've heard rumours the Train won't be stopping at Bedlington Station. 

There's a Coach Lane in Benton/Newcastle.

Here's another one for Eggs 

Just noticed this and hope it's not too late to wish you a very happy birthday!

Well spotted Canny lass, I usually see them in the morning but morning came late today after being in the Toon last night watching the Rugby on the big screen at Greys Monument. You missed a treat, hundreds of men with hairy legs wearing tartan skirts 

Happy Birthday Fourgee, have a Guddin  

In answer to  Musicmusic,     Nothing will change while we have our elected County Councillors either missing,  telling us there's no money tree at the bottom of the high street, or campaigning  for investment into a neighbouring town.. They were elected to represent us and are not doing that,  so  what can we do? Take a look at this weeks readers letters in the News Post Leader, it appears the only people who are happy with what we've got are those very councillors who attempt to justify NCC's actions. They have forgotten who put them in office but the moneys good if they toe the party line.They also like a jibe at the Make a Noise for Bedlington group, hopefully the very people who can  vote them out at the next opportunity. Both NCC and our County Councillors  visit this site but they elect not to respond .Wish we had an MP we could turn to.  

Some guys have all the Luck     !

which is what Tesco wanted to do when they showed the plans for new store

Not sure about that.

Recognise anyone.

Micky Mouse is missing.

 

If the Lidl plans get green lighted then I suspect the gap site will be put into cold storage until the inevitable 2028 Bedlington Olympic bid which will be heartbreakingly denied at the last second by the Minister of Sport Ian Lavery confirming Ashington being the selected host.

No doubt with the full backing of our County Councillors.

The Bikes !

Happy Birthday Malcolm,............point of interest Pete, he didn't turn up at the Lion to watch the bikes, rumours are it was his turn to Pay 

Sold at Newcastle Quayside Market every Sunday alongside the Santana Brand in the 80s try them on in the back of the traders Van.

""too much unnecessary action so far which has not helped our community"

 

What an utterly disgraceful and misguided comment, especially from someone in a position of authority. In my 20 plus years of residence in and around the town I have never seen anything that HAS helped the community - and has inspired - as much as the MAN4Bedlington campaign; does the councillor pay attention to the constituents? Clearly not, which begs the question as to why she is in the job? I get the impression - and have done for some time - that the reason she, and others, are so steadfastly opposed to MAN4Bed is simply because it wasn't their idea, it was created by an everyday resident with concerns and grew thanks to teh like-minded thoughts of others. I really thought that this lady may have learned from the mistakes of the former mayor's infamous letter to the press....

Couldn't agree more with this one,  I sincerely hope the people at Camp Bastion, and we all know who they are, read  this !
