Big Bang Theory series 5 episode 1, I believe Lenard is supposedly drinking a bottle of Dog! Newcastle Broooon Ale! Don’t know if he actually drinks any but excellent product placement there chaps!

Pete, I believe it was for a regional segment so you might not be able to see it. (Inside Out) The more we can raise the profile of the place the harder it is for the Great and Good to ignore us!

Pint of John Smiths.........cheers Brian! When is the inaugural meeting of the knights of the Shire anyway?

I thought they were still trying to work out what neutrinos were never mind firing them at Cern? Aren't they trying to find them in the deepest mines on the planet? By the way Pete.........Thanks! http://bedlington.jo...-+Bedlington%29 Watch out for the latest forum minutes! Film crew there this morning..............

Footsie is now below 5000, not much of a breather there then! Interestingly it seems the EBC has bought 4X’s more gold in the last 3 months than it did in the whole of 2010! Once central banks have filled their socks watch for a FDR’like emergency gold act 1933! Looks like they are starting to put barriers up to retail investors now trying to limit hedging using gold. If only we had taken the bust instead of allowing half-baked politicians to interfere we could have been building our way out by now!

The Footsie has paused for breath but the fundamental problems remain. Seems the mainstream media has at last caught on, there is a distinct lack of ideas within the political class on how to tackle this prolonged financial crisis. Given the need for all politicians to present things in the ‘glossiest’ of terms some of the latest utterings should be worrying everyone! GGG’s financial pin up gal seems to have had a Road to Damascus experience since taking up her leading IMF role! Now preaching that debt is bad seems a diametrically opposed view from her time in the French Government, only a few months ago! Instead of playing up to the big boys on the block Dave should be instigating deep and fundamental changes within our own country, but he doesn’t have the maracas never mind anything else to do that. So we will drift along on the back draft of good old Uncle Sam, the EU and the Asian economies, each of which have their own systemic problems. This could get very nasty very quickly as GGG’s prediction of a deep depression becomes more and more likely.

I think the question should be, how did you know about it then Foxy?

I am more with PAWS, it’s no good hiding even our smallest lights under a bush. Get them out there and start shouting about them. Without a deep integrated community network any single group has to rely on a substantial PR exercise to get their message out. I do think this web site can and will be the digital network needed but it has to be part of a total solution.

Please do, we might even start to get the message across! Promoting the Gallagher Park ‘event’ was discussed at the prior meetings but for some reason relying on ‘word of mouth’ and jumping on the back of the Heritage Day promotion was deemed the way to handle the PR? BTW, I believe the Metro extension petition is being heralded as a roaring success (for NCC e-petitions) given the numbers who signed up. I agree the numbers could have been multiplied many fold if it had been more generally known about.

Welcome and good to have you aboard Graham.

Keith, are you are getting carried away with your new found teckki abilities?

Like the soundtrack John.........

some guy bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of his old fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a Sign on it saying: 'Free to good home. You want it, you take it.' For three days the fridge sat there without anyone looking twice. He eventually decided that people were too mistrustful of this deal. So he changed the sign to read: 'Fridge for sale $50.' The next day someone stole it! They walk amongst us! ------------------------------------- *One day I was walking down the beach with Some friends when someone shouted..... 'Look at that dead bird!' Someone looked up at the sky and said...'where?' They walk among us! ---------------------------------------------------------- While looking at a house, my brother asked the Estate agent which direction was north because He didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, 'Does the sun rise in the north?' My brother explained that the sun rises in the east And has for sometime. She shook her head and said, 'Oh, I don't keep up with all that stuff......' They Walk Among Us! -------------------------------------------- My colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria, when we overheard an admin girl talking about the sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the beach. She drove down in a convertible, but said she 'didn't think she'd get sunburned because the car was moving'. They Walk Among Us! ------------------------------------ My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car which is designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the car trunk. They Walk Among Us! ------------------------------------------------- I was going out with a friend when we saw a woman with a nose ring attached to an earring by a chain. My friend said, 'Ouch! The chain must rip out every time she turns her head!" I had to explain that a person's nose and ear remain the same distance apart no matter which way the head is turned... They Walk Among Us ! ------------------------------- I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area and went to the lost luggage office and reported the loss. The woman there smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and said I was in good hands. 'Now,' she asked me, 'Has your plane arrived yet?'... (I work with professionals like this.) They Walk Among Us! ------------------------------------------------ While working at a pizza parlor I observed a man ordering a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time then said 'Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces. They Walk Among Us! And last, but not least: Dumb as a box of Rocks TRUE STORY: A noted psychiatrist was a guest speaker at an academic function where Nancy Pelosi happened to appear. Ms Pelosi took the opportunity to schmooze the good doctor a bit and asked him a question with which he was most at ease. 'Would you mind telling me, Doctor,' she asked, 'how you detect a mental deficiency in somebody who appears completely normal?' 'Nothing is easier,' he replied. 'You ask a simple question which anyone should answer with no trouble. If the person hesitates, that puts you on the track..' 'What sort of question?' asked Pelosi. Well, you might ask, 'Captain Cook made three trips around the world and died during one of them. Which one?'' Pelosi thought a moment, and then said with a nervous laugh, 'You wouldn't happen to have another example would you? I must confess I don't know much about history.' Sadly, they walk among us! Traffic Camera A man was driving when he saw the flash of a traffic camera. He figured that his picture had been taken for exceeding the limit, even though he knew that he was not speeding... Just to be sure, he went around the block and passed the same spot, driving even more slowly, but again the camera flashed. Now he began to think that this was quite funny, so he drove even slower as he passed the area again, but the traffic camera again flashed. He tried a fourth time with the same result. He did this a fifth time and was now laughing when the camera flashed as he rolled past, this time at a snail's pace... Two weeks later, he got five tickets in the mail for driving without a seat belt.. You can't fix stupid.

40 Scousers suddenly arrive at the Pearly Gates. St Peter goes into the gatehouse and phones up God on the Hotline, saying: I've got 40 Liverpudlians here, Lord, can I let them in? God replies We are well over the quota on Scousers. Go back to the Pearly Gates and tell them to choose from among them who are the 12 most worthy, and I will let just the chosen dozen in. Less than a minute later St Peter is on the phone to God again, They're gone, he gasps. What? exclaims God, All 40 of them? No, the Pearly Gates!

Make it the week after Merlin and you can give me a lift up there! John, is this Burt and Hewey.......
