It's a petty, Eggy, because my cats love rubbing themselves against you and cuddling onto your lap. Here's some photos of them.

I'm all for preserving old buildings and such, but what concerns me more is the fact that there are buildings in Bedlington that are standing empty and which could be used to enhance our town - namely the old Co-op (Milne House), Johnson's shoe shop, which seems to have come to a sudden stop where renovation is concerned. Town planners, etc, should be concentrating on these not, as someone said above, buildings that no longer serve a function. Preserve them by all means, but turn them into viable concerns where the towns folk can benefit from them.

I'll pack my bucket and spade, Eggy. Have you got room for the cats.

Mars is at its closest to Earth tonight, so we all know what that means - the invasion is imminent. That light on Mars was just the beginning, the machines will be heading our way soon, it will be the rout of civilization, the massacre of mankind.

I thought this was very interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzgQwDeP7eM

Call that a rocket, Eggy!!!! Nah, this is a rocket. I'm halfway to the red planet as we speak. "Is there life on Mars...ooh ooh oh."

H G. Wells was right!!! Soon the motherships will arrive. Keep watching the skies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saOSXTrpvWk

I got 6 out of 10. Some of those were beyond me...Doylem!!!!

There are some scurrilous knaves on this site who deem my selection as the new Jammy...er...James Bond...is nothing more than an April Fools prank. I can assure you there is nothing prankishness about this claim - and if you don't believe me you can phone my secretary at MFI - Miss Thruppennybit. Even better, contact my American counterpart, Helix Lighter-than-air...er...Felix Leitner at CIU HQ. I have been given a licence to trill and will go out tonight to celebrate with my usual tipple...Broon Dog. shaken, not stirred.

Anagram!!! What anagram?

Hi everyone, at last I can announce the great news. I am the official new James Bond. I have been chosen to replace Daniel Craig as 007 and I am well and truly chuffed. The competition was tough with Christian Bale, Daniel Day Lewis, Tom Hardy and Ronnie Corbett all vying for the roll but as you can see from the photograph I have been given the sanction of Daniel Craig himself who graciously handed over his licence to kill to yours truly at this reception at the Clayton Arms. I hope this will not affect my relationship with everyone on this site so feel free to stop me in the street and ask for my autograph - £25 a signature, concessions to pensioners and Bedlington Terrier dogs. I can also announce that my debut Bond film will be called… A PILL FOR O.

Greetings, Flower, welcome to the Garden of Delights with its Trees of Knowledge. Keith.

Is this from Wonky's Spanish Inquisition collection? The Torquemada Tormentor. Functional and basic with just a hint of Baroque and Gothic inference. The grill-like seat is guarenteed to double as a recliner and BBQ giving the owner a dual capacity. Can be bought at BDSM stores in your area.

Now that's interesting, HPW, because I thought Tommy never married. Cheers.

No Threegee, it was meant to be Bedlington Perrier Water!!!!!!

The first colour TV we got from them only showed red and green. I was listening to the stereo one day and one of their vans parked outside. All of a sudden I got this bloke's voice asking for confirmation of an address. The dates for the vans are 1964, 1967 & 1973.

Looking at the video again I am reminded of that old saying...'you look like your pets'. Friends and neighbour say I resemble my cats...sleek, sensual, panther-like...mind you you they don't like it when I bury my poo in their rose gardens.

Can anyone remember when the Rediffusion shop closed in Bedlington? It used to stand where Tyred & Exhausted is now. We got our first television off them and Billy Hempstead and his son (Also Billy) lived in our street and worked for the company.

It looked a bit windy, there, Malcolm!

If I'm not mistaken, Eggy, he was arguably the first White Van Man and I'm sure he added a small trailer to it later on. I know he used to deliver to our house and he was always chipper.

Can anyone remember Tommy Easton the greengrocer? If my memory serves me right he used to deliver goods to your house. He was always happy and wore a brown 'Awkright' workcoat. I believe he opened a shop down the Station between Wales chip shop and Anderson's Motors, and I'm sure he had something to do with the Spar...did he 'start' it?

I seem to remember the stairs being on the right - with the box office in the centre. But I thought the left-hand door just led to the 'downstairs' part. On the far left was the sweet's kiosk - I think. My personal movie memories recall Tarzan and the Great River. (1971) A stirring tale of the famous Ape-man's adventures up the Amazon River. Rememberable for the scene where two lions started fighting...Lions in the Amazon!!! But on the same bill was Blue Water, White Death (1971) An amazing documentary about the Great White Shark - four years before Jaws. It was supposed to be the 'B' movie leading up to the main feature - but everyone was talking about that and not the Tarzan film. Good and bad memories of that place.

Have a good one, Brian, all the best. Keep the jokes coming.

Yep, it must be him, you didn't add that he was fat and ugly and had the disposition of a warthog with piles. I'll pass the message on to him and send you a personal message in a moment. Cheers.

Greetings, AB, welcome to the forum. (PS. My brother worked at St. Mary's Hospital. What years were you there, he might know you.
