They have all played lawyers - law attorneys.

They all have convictions?

Sorry, Adam, I shouldn't have started a new topic when there was already one existing, my apologies, It was just that I was putting the key in the door when I heard the train and I wanted to find out what was going on. (Bear in mind I live up where the Terrier Pub used to be and I could hear the steam train from my house!!!) Thanks for sorting it out, cheers.

AND THE WINNER IS...MALCOLM - AGAIN. That's right, Malcolm, they have all played Nero. Of course I was hoping this would run for a while, at least time for me to have my easter egg. Alas, it's not to be, now I have to come up with another one. Good one Malcolm.

OKAY, VARMINTS, HERE'S FOUR FOR THE EASTER WEEKEND.

Everything is still there but disused or used as 'storehouse'. See the following link - go to the very bottom for the most modern pictures. But what was that train I heard today? Was it a test run? It sounded like ye olde fashioned puffing billy. http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/b/bedlington/index.shtml

Was that a choo choo train I just heard - 11.30 am - this morning. I heard a puffing billy down bedlington Station way. Please enlighten me.

The first job I ever had was at Prestos when it opened in Bedlington. I lost count of the amount of times it's changed hands since then. In those days Bedlington was still a thriving place; I could spend my wages on vinyl LPs at The Music Box; I could buy a pair of shoes at Johnson's Shoe Shop; and when I was eighteen I could go into any pub on the front street for a pint. I agree with the comments on this page but unless Bedlington gets a variety of shops then we are looking at tumbleweed blowing down the front street. Blyth might seem like a hole to many people BUT they do have a variety of shops, even I have to admit that. I was at Morissons and Tesco in Bedders this week and walked around the former in dismay. Morrisons is expensive and just hasn't got the stock; Tesco is still the better of the two but they would boost their sales if they would/could sell clothes or gardening and electrical stuff, like Asda. But just for the record, one of the best foodstores I have come across is Heron's - cheap and bloody good stuff for the most part. But the main point is money. Without that vital necessity it doesn't matter one jot if we have a monopolizing supermarket or a corner shop. If you haven't got the dosh in your pocket then you can't spend it. As for dog pooh - yes, it is disgusting, but so is the amount of fag ends lying outside of pubs and in the windswept corners. Right, that's my rant....So I said to this bloke...

The last group in the 'Heaven' connection was Fiction Factory - Feels like Heaven. I remember it but would never have gotten the group. Another connection coming soon.

Naw, Adam, not that subtle, I'm more of the "Do you want to rub some paint off the fire exit door?" (Just kidding before anyone writes in!!!)

AND THE WINNER IS.....MALCOLM. (Even though he spelt it wrong. Try explaining that to St. Peter, Malcolm.) Belinda Carlisle.....Heaven is a place in Keith's bedroom. Eddie Cochrane...Three steps to Hebburn. Bob Dylan............Knockin' on Evan's door. (Must be his neighbour?) Led Zeppelin........Hairway to Heaven Meat Loaf.............Heaven's I'm some weight. Bryan Adams........Heaving. And last but not least.......Naw, I'll let you lot tell me. Cos I could remember the song but could not remember the group. So who is the last group - name and song title please.

Nope, but you are in the right direction concerning songs.

TRY THESE, YOU VARMINTS.

Hoi, you two, they're my very own. Genius at work! (Or is that Guinness?)

I went to a comedy night at the local pub last night. On stage was a beer keg telling jokes. He was a barrel of laughs. Next on was a ball of wool with some quick-fire one-liners. He was a bundle of fun. Then came a surgeon in full regalia of gown, mask and gloves. He had everyone in stitches. Next was a former boxer-turned-comedian. Brilliant punchlines. Then came a snowy owl with some anecdotes. What a hoot. He was followed by an onion with some witty remarks. He had us in tears. The climax was a cannister of nitrous oxide. We couldn't stop laughing.

I remember George Peel, he used to collect the pools coupons if I remember, as well being a bookies runner. He used to ride about on a pushbike, bike clips and all. I don't know why I didn't go to him for guitar lessons! Puzzler that!

Thanks HPW, I was beginning to think I had imagined Kitchens existed. I bought a fuzz-wah pedal there but I was never any good at it. Me and my mates went upstairs in Jeavons and had a go on a Fender Telecaster. I wish I could go back to those days and stick in with my guitar lessons.

Naw, the one next to the Essoldo at Asherton. You got in free if you took a wheelbarrow full of empty pop bottles.

They all served in the navy duriing WWII. Pacific theatre.

Adam, has it got something to do with the Presidancy or is it more personal like they were tee-total, or non smokers?

NO NO NO...It's Dan Haggerty...Grizzly Addams, not pan haggerty. All together now...'deep inside the forest....' I think we used to call it tettie pot.

Did they all pardon Vietnam draft dodgers?

British actors have played them in films? Michael Gambon played Lyndon B Johnson; Anthony Hopkins played Richard Nixon... but I don't know any British actors who have played Gerald Ford. Unless you know something from your sources in Hollywood....Hollymount Square.

I saw someone go down on his honkers on rollerskates. Not a pretty sight.

Depends on what day, Keith. I've looked high and low and still can't find it. I might take the lens caps off the binoculars tonight.
