  1. As part of our Heritage project we are going to need as many old pictures of Bedlington Front Street as possible. They will be used along with 'green screen' technology to produce a film about the changing Front Street. Please help out if possible, I will make sure full accreditation is given. Please send all pictures which you think meet this criteria to the address: pics@bedlington.co.uk
  2. Simon Sweeny whose clients include the EU and the Bologna Experts Committee. Funny how partisan that list seems now Sym. I am with GGG on this one and was even a supporter at one point. I thought even just the fact that our generation hasn't been to Europe waging wholesale war, was by itself enough of a reason to support not just the EU but an enlarging EU. It's not! Keef2, again I see the argument for a Federal Europe and I was never afraid of it but what has coloured my perspective is the people running the show. I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them. In anticipated response to Dave's now cancelled big EU speech where he is widely forecast to ask for major treaty changes Herman van Rompuy said "We do not need anything like as much Treaty change as people think. Too much change would open the floodgates”. Yeah democracy is a bad thing in the EU!
  3. Of course Keef2!
  4. "Afterwards King John became a great sportsman, and was keenly interested in Bedlington Terriers, which would probably account for his visit to Bedlington." That certainty makes them medieval. If its correct I might even change my mind about them!
  5. John, Just read some of the six townships stuff and one of the stories says King John was interested in Bedlington terriers, that's maybe why he came and stopped the night here. If that is true its way further back than what I had understood to be the origins of the breed. Any evidence?
  6. OK then.....................They all played John the Baptist..........
  7. They all played American lieutenants.
  8. Merc, Anyway he said Adam not Keef......................ya-booo!
  9. The 3 Musketeers?
  10. :lol: :lol: Maybe Tesco should be brought in for those horse problems they were talking about last night Keef1?
  11. Oh yes it does.............
  12. There isn't much CL, that site seems to link to most if not all of it. Same as late medieval to pre industrial revolution.
  13. :lol:
  14. I think we are seeing the end of party politics.......... quicker the better! We might start to elect based on merit and integrity rather than anything else! The fact that they have to bring in people from outside when they form a government just shows how inept most are. We hold referenda on very regular occasions and the cast votes are huge......... Dancing on ice, x factor, sing for your suppa etc. whatever the current flavour is. Somehow we favour passing interest and distraction rather than stuff which really makes a difference? UKIP is still a one trick pony and like a pit pony you can't expect them to win the Grand National. They might however get in the way of the other runners and that's probably the best that they can hope for.
  15. Flasher at Blyth.............. http://www.newspostleader.co.uk/news/local/police-hunt-dunes-flasher-1-5316774 He also seemed to be carrying a button mushroom! Brrrrrr.....
  16. HPW, Click on your blank avatar, That opens your home page. With the cursor on your avatar there is a black box opens titled 'change', click on that. It already picks custom for you so just click on the file box and go through your files until you get the one you want and click that. Should automatically load as your new avatar.
  17. I think he is probably fighting for his political career.......... If its not Boris or Gideon its now Grove and like Blair/Brown he can't sack them. Not sure I want UKIP to have the balance of power?
  18. In Spain Bankia has a negative value of 4.2 billion euros, and its parent group BFA is 10.4 BN in the red yet Bankia is about to receive 18 BN euros of Eurozone aid? Greece says it needs 27BN Euros for its banking system which is only worth 22BN. Their already priced in 10% hike in electricity prices is being upped by almost another 3BN Euros. These are prime examples of how citizens are being fleeced to save the privileges of the few. To quote Money Week: "We believe the outcome of this problem is inevitable… and the recession, joblessness and instability you see right now is only the first stage of it. Many people think the slump we're in now is as bad as it will get. But the truth is, it's only the start.” Full article. Time to stock up on the water purification tablets!
  19. All that dosh gone into the banks and still.......... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-21037568
  20. Probably help with annunciation if you put some teeth in Wonky!
  21. I see Peston is being quoted........................if there is anyone who enjoys talking after the fact then claiming to have pre-empted it its him. So HMV, Jeesups, Woolies, Comet.............tip of the iceburg.
  22. woaha.......
