  1. Had a hard life.......62022. http://www.flickr.co...ill/3969119993/
  2. Looks like it has just left the platform.............
  3. That's the Hogwarts Express up to Alnwick, isn't it?
  4. Trouble there is Adam we might need something like a protracted war to realign unemployment to employment as was the case then. No wonder there was full employment, a great swath of our workforce aged people had just died!
  5. Can I get my gallon of diesel foxy? Certainly looks like the tip is disappearing fast......
  6. Not sure the electorate are that clued up GGG. Interesting power play and if Nigel comes out and nails it down owt could happen.......
  7. And there's Sarko off, possibly to New York to be a very well paid lawyer or lobbyist. Got to wonder if Carla will still be there now he's out of the limelight! Interesting chat Holland will be having with Merkel.
  8. That was a bit prophetic GGG! Last point…….I bet none of them fill their expenses forms in wrongly!!!!
  9. UKIP stood candidates in the recent London Assembly election and what happened? They filled the papers in wrongly so the 8% of the vote they expected and a couple of seats turned into a fiasco with no one able to vote for them as they were incorrectly described as 'Fresh Choice for London'. Says it all really! Nigel said, "We can only put our hands up and say sorry to voters who wanted to back us but couldn't find our name on the ballot paper. We hoped and expected to get two seats, but this has cost us dear. It is a lesson hard learned.” All this support you talk about for UKIP GGG, maybe it deserves a bit more professionalism than what's on offer at the moment?
  10. Bedlington Carnival parade for the Olympic Torch. The town of Bedlington is gearing up for the arrival of the Olympic Torch. Determined not to be left behind as the Olympic Torch passes through the county and onto their streets, social enterprise Leading Link, the Bedlingtonshire Development Trust (BDT) and the Salvation Army have started developing plans together to ensure this once in a lifetime event will be one to be remembered in Bedlington. The main focus of the plans is a fantastic carnival parade preceding the Torch procession, which will feature a giant Bedlington Terrier, clowns and street performers, a brass band, dancing and cheerleading to name but a few. Malcolm Robinson, Chair of the BDT said: "With over 2500 young people, families and community residents lining the main thoroughfare of Front Street, the group felt that we had to ensure that the momentum and excitement of this historic event is captured and remembered as being a truly great day for us all here in Bedlington." The organising team are working with the West Bedlington Town Council, local schools and local providers and hope to involve as much of the community as possible. The most ambitious part of the plans is to create a massive "˜walking' Bedlington Terrier along the lines of a Chinese Dragon and so the hunt is on to find some artists willing to help create this centrepiece. The thoughts behind it is that children and young people representing each of the Bedlington schools will come together to bring the Terrier to life on the day. There is also a big call for anyone who can play a brass instrument to come forward to join the band walking down Front Street. There are several band practices planned before the event to ensure the music is heard for miles around, however you must bring your own instrument. ( I think we used to do this some years ago!) The parade will culminate in the market place where we hope there will be several exhibition stalls and a "˜Town Crier' giving spectators updates on the progression of the torch. The whole event is being covered by St Benet Biscop Catholic High School's BBC Roving School Reporters who have a website link directly to the BBC. The BBC have specifically asked this group of reporters to cover the run up to the day, during and after the event so we are certain they will have a lot to report. If any local groups or individuals would like to take part in the carnival parade or help with the preparations, please contact Lyn Horton at Leading Link on 01670 820088 or email lyn.horton@leadinglink.co.uk.

  12. Italy looks to be on the brink with a report into her services PMI showing a fall from 44.3 to 42.3. Already contracting that is without doubt the wrong way because it is worse and this after all that bailout dosh! The report also says………. These services figures joined earlier-released retail and manufacturing data in showing faster contractions in activity during April that, with the exception of the latter, are approaching the rates of decline seen at the depth of the 2008/9 recession. With a "short supply of credit” being cited toowhere has that trillion euros of ECB dosh gone???? Not sure UKIP is going from strength to strength. Yes they are getting a good percentage of votes but that isn't being transmitted into actual seats and at the end of the day………. I like Nigel, even if he was one of the city traders I would have strung up, trouble is he and UKIP are a one horse group who really only come into their own at European election time. Until they make inroads into domestic politics I doubt they will be taken seriously………..
  13. Looks like the EZ is heading into official recession with the latest trade figures. Spain, Italy, and Portugal we all know about but France looks to be on the cusp too and she is an EZ mainstay. So hit by austerity at home and falling international trade it would seem there are two ends pulling against the middle. Interesting to look at the Greek bailout and see where it is on the Troika path to salvation. Greece was supposed to see economic growth of 1.1% now while actually there is a 5% contraction! Keep these institutions away from our shores or our stagflation could turn into something much worse!
  14. Many Happy Returns.............
  15. My Sat Nav......... I have a little Satnav It sits there in my car A Satnav is a driver's friend It tells you where you are I have a little Satnav I've had it all my life It does more than the normal one My Satnav is my wife It gives me full instructions On exactly how to drive "It's thirty miles an hour" it says "And you're doing thirty five" It tells me when to stop and start And when to use the brake And tells me that it's never ever Safe to overtake It tells me when a light is red And when it goes to green It seems to know instinctively Just when to intervene It lists the vehicles just in front It lists those to the rear And taking this into account It specifies my gear I'm sure no other driver Has so helpful a device For when we leave and lock the car It still gives its advice It fills me up with counselling Each journey's pretty fraught So why don't I exchange it And get a quieter sort? Ah well, you see, it cleans the house Makes sure I'm properly fed It washes all my shirts and things And - keeps me warm in bed!
  16. jorga, wash your mouth out.............this is a no swearing site!!!!!
  17. I think this is exactly what Front Street needs to increase footfall, an eclectic and unique retail offering. It's probably the only way to get the potential increased punters who might use a newly developed Tesco out the back door and onto Front Street.
  18. The whole thing is pathetic. If anyone else had gone on like this..................hang your head NCC!
  19. No need to wait Adam................ http://www.facebook.com/orangemoononline I can smell the joss sticks now.
  20. No, Orange Moon isn't it?

  22. A rich blond buys the New Automatic BMW X6 Sport. She drives the car perfectly well during the day, But at night the car just won't move at all. She tries driving the car at night for a week but still no luck. She then furiously calls the BMW dealer and they send out a technician to her, the technician asks: Ma'am, are you sure you are using the right gears?? Full of anger, the blond replies: "You fool, idiot man, how could you could ask such a question, I'm not stupid!! I use D for the Day and N for the Night.. "

  25. Amen to that Mrs Benson............................ I feel richer already!!!!! My beloved. Greetings in the name of our lord Jesus Christ. i am Mrs Limana Benson from Bahrain, a widow to late Jeff Benson i am 51 years old, i am now a new Christian convert, suffering from long time cancer of the breast, from all indication my condition is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that i won't live more than 2 months, according to my doctors, this is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very worst stage. My late husband and my only child died last five years, his death was politically motivated. My late husband was a very rich and wealthy business man who was running his cocoa business in Cote d'Ivoire and after his death; i inherited all his business and wealth. my doctors has advised me that i may not live for more than 2 months, so i now decided to divide the part of this wealth, to contribute to the development of the church in Africa, America, Asia, and Europe. i collected your email address during my desperate search on the internet and i prayed over it. i decided to donate the sum of $3,500,000.00 usd( Theree million five hundred thousand united states dollars) to the less privileged because i cannot take this money to the grave. Please i want you to note that this fund is lodged in a bank in Ivory Coast in West Africa . Once i hear from you, i will forward to you all the information's you will use to get this fund released from the bank and to be transferred to you. i honestly pray that this money when transferred to you, will be sure for the said purpose, because i have come to find out that wealth acquisition without Christ is vanity. may the grace of our lord Jesus the love of god and the fellowship of god be with you and your family. Please contact me in this my private e-mail id so that i will give you all the details Your beloved sister in Christ. Mrs Limana Benson
