  1. I must have missed that one John. Thanks for sharing it.
  2. Thanks Malcolm. I loved it!!
  3. Aha! That Mr. Humphries.
  4. Dare I ask - Who is Mr. Humphries? Or would I be better off not knowing?
  5. Thanks Adam! Another question - I know where the Halfpenny Woods are but where in Bedlington are the Free Woods? I've never heard the expression before.
  6. Read with interest of the new exercise equipment in the Halfpenny Woods and prompted by Brian's question " is it the Halfpenny Woods or the Free Woods," I'm now wondering how it came to be called The Halfpenny Woods. Anybody got any ideas?
  7. Very well done! I closed my eyes, I listened and for a few minutes I was in Bedlington on Front Street.
  8. Any chance that we can see it on this site - for those of us who don't get to go 'home' so often?
  9. Happy birthday from me too, Adam. Foxy, you are 19 - with 46 years of experience!
  10. Not sure I ever saw a flag but the motto 'de profundis' was also the motto att Westridge school. It was found beneath the shield on the school badge and the mosaic shield that hung in the entrance hall. Both had a white cross of St.Cuthbert on a dark blue background. You can see the shield in some of the school photos in the gallery.
  11. I really hope it does well Paul.
  12. Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday dear Micky Happy birthday to you. Sung to the tune of 'Happy birthday to you'.
  13. Definitely standing behind a camera! It's late July - early August. Not sure about the year.
  14. You've got the tears rolling down my face Malcolm. I just love Tommy Cooper!
  15. It say's you know a good book when you read one!
  16. Thank you Brian. I was just beginning to think this thread had died!
  17. Anything that gets young people moving and away from the sedentary lifestyle that predominates today ( I'm thinking about computer games mainly) gets my vote. It's maybe a huge investment initially but it's an investment for their future health and that's a saving in the long run. Why do councillers have such difficulty seeing that?
  18. A book in "excellent nick" is often a book that's never been read!
  19. ... and Bedlington.co.uk!
  20. Ha ha! Very good Foxy.
  21. Is that still going by the way - Encyclopaedia Britannica?
  22. Thank goodness we have him here. It's like having your own personal copy of the Encyclopaedia Britannica on line.
  23. Well, I think that says it all. I rest my case.
  24. Now that you mention it, I believe it was Duane Eddy. What a memory you've got Pete!!! well done.
  25. Was that him with 'Twangin up a storm' or am I thinking of someone else?
