Was that jogging or logging keef1? It was easier to light up..........................nah!

PM'd you Keef......

That would be one of the main points of the exercise wouldn't it Keef? Buy what they have already sold you again and again every-time a new format comes out.

Which map Keef........... I have the 1769 one, 1860 one and the 1897 one at hand.

Some of us have been trying to change that a bit Keef.........hence the ending on the "Everyone is taking about Bedlington" video. Having said that I have had to bow to common sense and use our International brand in a project I am busy with now. You just can't get away for it and when you are trying to get something off the ground on a none existent budget you have to use anything at your disposal!

Well box office records cannot be broken time after time if everyone is downloading illegally????????????

:lol: I would say the Wharton too, you can still see where the the old doorway in the gable end was. When was that left-hand side bit built on with the false roof line?

Brilliant site keef........

Back in the UK........... Net National Insurance receipts this fiscal year are forecast to be £106bn, benefit payments will be not less than £207bn. New taxes anyone?

Manufacturing activity in both France and Germany has now been contracting for 10 months in a row. In Spain, it's contracted for 20 months in a row. In Greece, one in five bank loans is thought to be toxic. Nearly 40% of people under 25 in Italy are unemployed. French car output since 2005 has fallen 45%. Since 2006, the average house selling price in Spain has fallen 70%. Happy days in Euro land and we now have Frau Merkle telling the UK to shut up or be kicked out..........

So our MP's think they are worth a pay rise………flipping heck! The Tories think they're worth £96,740 pa, while the Lib /Lab pact are more 'reasonable' at £78,000 pa. I thought they were paid about £65K at present……..if so that's one hell of a pay rise in percentage terms when most people are being blackmailed into getting nowt and told they should be thankful to have a job. Seems once again the most unproductive are rewarded very nicely thank you………!!!!!!

Adam, You need to take a look that these........your old man's on one of the shots!

Didn't see this one.............. Happy Birthday Canny Lass..

Sound similar to one of the best 1980's SiFi tracks Keef.........

Chuffing jobsworths! The country is full of them CL...........there is no independent thought anymore!

Brigadoon..................like it. I might just use that! BTW if you look at the Bedlington local pages on the Journal web site have a look at my old blogs. Especially the tumbleweed one!

Yes but I can't tell you anymore about it for another two months! PM me.

Keef, I might have one for sale ..................4.5 inch reflector.

BTW, A certain company in Bedders is on TV soon............the Restoration man fronted by George Clarke used them for a pretty intricate bit of engineering! 17th Jan. C4.

Did everyone know Queen Vic would ONLY travel by rail if Sir Daniel Gooch was in the drivers 'seat'! When he laid the first transatlantic cable they lost it loads of times......and found it again to join more on?????? Take about a needle in a haystack! Sounds like he was right handful at school, not the normal academic. I like him and I like Longridge.

Anyone else see a major omission on this map the NHS are using for Northumberland?

Barry Mead has just sent me this...........probably the most famous 'son of Bedlington'. Metropolitan Railway (London Underground) When this line opened to the public on 10 January 1863 with gas-lit wooden carriages hauled by steam locomotives, it was the world's first underground railway Concern about smoke and steam in the tunnels led to new designs of steam locomotive. The first public trains were hauled by broad gauge GWR Metropolitan Class condensing 2-4-0 tank locomotives Nos. 320 and 321 designed by Daniel Gooch and built at Swindon. They were withdrawn in 1881. To reduce smoke underground, at first coke was burnt, changed in 1869 to smokeless Welsh coal. The London Underground when it opened in 1863.

HM........JL.........K........MS.

Gotta be Kylie then...........

Keef...........you cannot even get the right person to talk to...........!!!! :lol:
