    Why is everyone talking about 39 flats on the old school site, the planning permission was for 19 not chuffing 39!  

     

    I had this same argument last night too, didn't I Adam!   :whistle:

     

     

    Not with me Malcolm, As I was not sure.

     

     

    Malcolm, what's 20 flats between friends?

    Now Now Girls!!

  2. You can whinge all you like folks,

                                                           the County Council Planners have already ruined the Market Place with the Elliots Garage "Sight" and after  a presentation they gave  at last weeks Town Council Meeting, it looks like the Onslaught will continue.

    Put away the begging bowl you local politicos, and start doing things that are actually business friendly!  

    Our two local Politicos have no time for begging bowls, they spend their time taking it in turns writing a column for the local rag. Every week having the same content, repeats of an inept Coalition Government that we've already read about in the National Press and a Miners Strike/Pit Closures that the're seeking  Justice for. I'm sure the vast majority of folk in their constituencies myself included agree with them, but wouldn't it be nice if they spent some time fighting for jobs for young people around here rather than trying to win Brownie Points in a slagging match.

    "The regional Violence Against Women and Girls strategy, which I launched with my fellow north east Police and Crime Commissioners Ron Hogg from Durham and Barry Coppinger from Cleveland, is another way we're tackling domestic violence and abuse, which is also one of the five objectives in my Police and Crime Plan."

     

    Wonder if one of the other four objectives is "The Regional Violence Against Men and Boys strategy" or is she sexist?

  5. If anyone's popping into Wetherspoons today and you manage to draw the attention of the Bar Staff, would you please tell them that I'm still standing at the other end of the Bar waiting to be served. Thanking you in anticipation.  :devil:

    I'm sure that our cameramen will be able to bring us plenty of images of the mackem's preparations, match build-up, presentation of the losers medals, etc.

     

    He didn't bring us pictures of the Toon when they lost a lot earlier in the same competition.

  7. One of the old timers in the Market Club has returned from Tenneriffe with this Photo that was used in the Hotels Xmas  quiz.. The aim was to name all the celebs  :( in the picture that was taken in Blackpool in the 60s. He says they were all identified apart from the man in the back row directly beneath the Letter i in the word Christmas. I'll put the rest of the answers on here later but in the meantime maybe someone on here could help him out,even the hotel Manager and quiz master don't know who it is so our friend has committed to find out and put them out of their misery when he returns in March.
