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.

It'll probably end up being spent in another nearby town, can you guess the name? answers on a postcard please to the usual address

More Planning Gain Money, where will they spend it this time?

Is that a Hard Shell Case or a Hard Sell Case?

Happy Birthday Brian, have a Fosters on me!

Your always "Bleating" On about something Adam

Have a Guddin Vic,

I've got a smart Blonde lined up for a photo shoot tomorrow Malc, watch this space.

And look what I spotted on todays bike ride !!!

Cards on the table here Maggie, if they were performing in my back garden, I would close the curtains.

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.

Vera Baird said "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?

I'm lost here fella's, whats unusual about a nicked bike?

Second thoughts.....................anytime before the clocks go forward will do!!

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.

Can your lass not find you some work to do ???????????

Have a gudin Merc, I'll be a gent and not nick your seat at table 25 tonight

Well here it is!

Has anybody got Photo's of these Forst Pints?

You would probably Drown before you got drunk on Fed Ordinary

Front row extreme right is Albert Hayley who went to the Whitley Memorial but not sure which school after that. I'll ask his brother sometime in the next couple of days.

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

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. One of our members on the Bedders website is 105 years old he should get it!!!

One of our moderators is a Mackem supporter. tonight he has something to celebrate,all the best for Wembley Malc!!!!!
