Foxy, if you want me to make an official complaint I will......................... ALL LIBRARIES GET PAID TO OFFER PUBLIC USE OF THEIR LOOS! I think throughout the county there are now only 3 .......yes 3 public loos which are still maintained by NCC. All 3 deemed of strategic importance... primarilly for tourists!

Bayardm nailed it!

First of all public toilets are a casualty of NCC cost cutting. Its NCC who haver responsibility over public loos throughout the county. Now having said that the Town Council have asked about the one opposite the library with a view to taking it over and getting it reopened. There are major problems with tree root damage which NCC wouldn't justify spending the money on and if they couldn't the Town Council would be facing a huge extra bill. As it is the Library is open for the public to use their toilets and are now being paid to do so.......... Next ones down in the old Tesco car park..........see picture thanks to Foxy. These are now within the Arch development site or should that be were! Lastly the ones down in Attlee Park, the Town Council are seeing about getting them reopened but only if its cost effective. Now I appreciate all the comments but all of the above information was and is available through the Town Council and everyone can go to the monthly meeting. Failing that all the minutes and agendas as published on the web site...... http://www.westbedlington.org.uk

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She reduced altitude and spotted a man below. She descended a bit more and shouted: “‘Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago but I don’t know where I am”. The man below replied “You’re in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You’re between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude”. “You must be a technician.” said the balloonist. “I am” replied the man “how did you know?” “Well,” answered the balloonist, “everything you have told me is probably technically correct, but I’ve no idea what to make of your information and the fact is, I’m still lost. Frankly, you’ve not been much help at all. If anything, you’ve delayed my trip with your talk.” The man below responded, “You must be in management”. “I am” replied the balloonist, “but how did you know?” “Well,” said the man “you don’t know where you are or where you’re going. You have risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you’ve no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it’s my fault!

Yes it was and this time...............not very much mess at all!!!!!!!! Well done the pubs who cleared up after themselves!

Our Marketplace was BedFest Vic..............

I hope many people have seen a defibrillator on the side of the Masonic Hall. There are others going into the Front Street and we hope people will want to come along and see how they work.

Cant think of anyone I would rather not associate my thoughts with then Mr Heffer...........but he does have a point! Its like agreeing with Michael Gove!

No I was looking at them from Parker's Bar at Tynemouth just a week ago and asked about them. Been there for some time seemingly.

Just one question merc and I don't want to enter the lovefest you have going with GGG, but when did we ever have an elected Prime Minister? If we elected our head of government..... as such......... it would be a republic as far as I can see? We mere mortals only get to elect Mp's.

I believe they are deserted ones merc with just skeleton crews left on!!!!!!!!

..........and no one heard anything more about it until Columbus discovered it!

http://www.portoftyne.co.uk/news/port-of-tyne/record-five-passenger-ships-in-one-day-at-port-of-tyne/ Now then we just need Bedlington on their itineraries........

Unheard of before but 5 passenger ships into the Tyne today...........all disgorging tourists with foreign exchange to spend! They are calling it "Super Tuesday"!

Already up on this board Eggy!!!!!!!

Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made himrather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him. (Oh, man, this is so bad, it’s good. . .) A super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

I've only done two of those Cannylass......

Yep and on top of that I know quite a few people holidaying in the UK now! Exchange rates only matter when you buy products in that currency or need it for the likes of holidaying. We have just made British labour, already one of the most productive in Europe, even cheaper for any international investment and with interest rates such as they are there must be sizeable investment capital looking for a home.

Did whoever inspected the premises sign it off in March? And is this the one for sale now?

All drugs have two names, a trade name and generic name. Example: the trade name is Tylenol and its generic name is Acetaminophen; Aleve is also called Naproxen. Amoxil is also called Amoxicillin, and Advil is also called Ibuprofen. The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin. Pfizer Corp. announced today that Viagra will soon be available in liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer. So it will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one. Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of 'cocktails', 'highballs' and just a good old-fashioned 'stiff drink'. Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of: MOUNT-&-DO. Thought for the day: There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2020, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.

They have been asked to correct it Merc...............you just can't get the staff these days!

"However, there's great concern that this is now happening among the present generation of youngsters who are adopting the English sexual swear words - and using them in all the wrong places!" Or as the famous quip goes.......not necessarily in the wrong places but certainly at the wrong times!
