Well Cympil it took long enough to spot the deliberate mistake! And Ken is going to get jiggy with Stephanie Beecham, something disturbing about that! Hats off to Craig Charles, braver man than me! Pete, you really don’t watch it do you!!!!!!!!!

Brian, you will be sleeping it off before we get even started wont you? All the best........

Another Bedlington asset flogged off and the money swallowed up by the new unitary authority I bet! This should have been deferred until way after next March for Bedlington to have even the slightest chance of seeing any of this money, but then what would a parish council do with it? As Councillor Richmond said they will be ‘pressing’ to get some of it spent in the area whereas it should be Bedlington’s by right. I am wondering why WDC seem to have pushed these sales through recently? A million off Prestos car park, half a million here and it already has won a million quid’s worth of upgrades. 2.5 million, not a bad start for what should have been the new Bedlington District Council! I think the town is sleepwalking into oblivion! Pssst......anyone want to buy a community centre cheap......

As Mr Buffet says, you only realise the guy isn't wearing swimming trunks when the tide goes out!

And did the people who got their money out just in the nick of time have a close encounter of the fourth kind? Ahh but they might have to repay profits! How does that work?

People pleaded to join up and tried to get into his golf club (250K per year fees) to bump into the guy. One word.... Schadenfreuden!

Belated Happy Birthday Pete and all the best for the New Year.

BIG PEOPLE WORDS A group of kindergartners were trying very hard to become accustomed to the first grade. The biggest hurdle they faced was that the teacher Insisted on NO baby talk! You need to use 'Big People' words,' she was always Reminding them. She asked John what he had done over the weekend? 'I went to visit my Nana'. No, you went to visit your GRANDMOTHER. Use 'Big People' words!' She then asked Mitchell what he had done 'I took a ride on a choo-choo'. She said. 'No, you took a ride on a TRAIN. You must remember to use 'Big People' words'. She then asked little Alex what he had done? 'I read a book' he replied. That's WONDERFUL!' the teacher said. 'What book did you read?' ( I love this.....) Alex thought real hard about it, Then puffed out his chest with great pride, and said, 'Winnie the !*!@#'

*Expressions* > > Father: "When you go back to your Mom's tonight, give her this envelope. Tell her that since you are now 18 this is the LAST cheque she'll ever see from me for child support. Then, stand back and watch the expression on her face." > > Daughter: "OK" > > Later.... > > Daughter: "Mom, Dad asked me to give you this envelope. He said to tell you that since I'm now 18 this is the LAST child support payment he'll ever have to make to you. Now I'm supposed to stand back and watch the expression on your face." > > Mother: "Next time you visit your father tell him that after 18 years I have decided to inform him that he's not your father. Then, stand back and watch the expression on HIS face.

How are Albert Tatlock, Mini Coldwell, Ena Sharpels, Elsie Tanner, Annie Walker and Ken Farecluff doing these days?

I was amazed the other day when I heard the minister say what was going to happen; I thought it had been quashed? It’s the start of implementation by any other name! Oh but then isn’t it the Gov’s favourite way of getting stuff like this through, put it out when everyone’s attention is drawn to bad news and for bad news read pre budget report! Just stick a chip into everyone or bar code us and be done!!!!!! Nice one Symtoms.........

Looking at other sites which have had massive public funding to build the infrastrucure needed to hold the games it is not hard to see what tax payers are going to 'own' after the games have had their short lives. Did no one learn anything with the Millenium Dome fiasco? It was nice to actually win the bid but I felt it was like winning an all expenses paid cruise on the Titanic!

Hang on GGG, doesn't this fit exactly with Gordon's Kensyan economic model? The one he is using to save us all from a recession, spend generations of future tax receipts on current public works.

Just taking up a call to pass it on......... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68svROtj7ls...feature=related This ain't a fun vid mind!!!!!!!!

Read the FULL transcript! It was probably at the very least an obscence phone call if not threatening and in the real world you would face prosecution..........

Is this one we missed? If it is so sorry Ex Bed....hope you had a great day and not too much of the falling down stuff!

Well GGG looks like Italy is leading the Club Med euro zone towards implosion. They are now offering way more in percentage points to secure gov debt, something that shouldn’t happen in a single currency. If this impacts onto say the Germans and their ability to sell bonds then it will become a free for all and the Euro will collapse. Given the vast sums lent to the eastern block countries, which look like complete write offs now, it looks to me like just a matter of time..........

One December day we found an old straggly cat at our door. She was a sorry sight. Starving, dirty, smelled terrible, skinny, and hair all matted down. We felt sorry for her, put her in a carrier and took her to the vet. We didn't know what to call her, so we named her 'Pussycat.' The vet decided to keep her for a day or so. He said he would let us know when we could come and get her. My husband (the complainer) said, 'OK, but don't forget to wash her, she stinks.' He reminded the vet that it was his WIFE (me) that wanted the dirty cat, not him. My husband and my Vet don't see eye to eye. The vet calls my husband 'El-Cheap-O', and my husband calls the vet 'El-Charge-O'. They love to hate each other, and constantly 'snip' at one another, with my husband getting in the last word on this particular occasion. The next day my husband had an appointment with his doctor, who is located in the same building, next door to the vet. The MD's waiting room and office was full of people waiting to see the doctor. A side door opened and the vet leaned in - he had obviously seen my husband arrive. He looked straight at my husband and in a loud voice said, 'Your wife's !*!@# doesn't stink any more, and it's finally clean and shaved, so she now smells like a rose. Oh, and, by the way, I think she's pregnant. God only knows who the father is!' Then he closed the door. Now THAT, my friends, is getting even!

While stitching up the hand of a 75 year old farmer, who got cut on a gate while working cattle, the rural doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Gordon Brown and his appointment as Prime Minister. Well, you know,' drawled the old farmer, this Brown fella is what they call a fencepost turtle. Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a fencepost turtle was. The old farmer said, When you're driving along a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's called a fencepost turtle. The old farmer saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain,You know he didn't get up there by himself, he definitely doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he is up there, and you just gotta wonder what kind of idiot put him up there in the first place!!
