The Last Ship still sails.

Thanks Ovalteeny. Good to read the article. The whole show was very good.

Should have said every hotel in Newcastle must have been full. The show was a sell out.

Sting , Jimmy Nail, The Unthanks, The Wilsons, Katherine Tickell and more were at the Sage Friday and Saturday. We needed to take out a mortgage to get a ticket or two but the concert was one of the very very best. People from all around the World were at the venue. The car park was not full and after there were so many people outside taking pictures You just had to be there.

The boiler is in Hereford Cathedral. Actually more than just the one. Not sure if they work or how! The Mappa Mundi, an original Magna Carta, a chain library even a bishops palace make it a must to visit yesterday not tomorrow.

Great stuff HPW I feel the thread dedicated to your mining stories is essential. You have done so much to educate us all. mercuryg my dad was a Henna too but from a first name

Agreed mercuryg. These young people are the future. The old guard need to take notice and connect. Apart from certain individuals on this site there seems a lack of involvement by the political elite of Bedlington. Locally and nationally where are these people who should be fighting for our town. By their silence on issues they say so much.

Anyone not there on Saturday will be noticed by there absence . The demonstration is none political but it is very much a statement. The 'elephant in the room' is simply 'WHY!'

I wonder what happened to this club.

Ah but do the cures work. I am not prepared to try any!

Health and safety or History. Who would win?

How about the Last Ship by Sting for all of them.

Note to self Must watch Fred Dibnah.

There is a Geordie boy on at the Sage tonight Actuay more than one but you need to take out a mortgage to buy the tickets. Geordie girls too! Last chance maybe!

Lots of coverage on the news today.

I agree but why would the holes be left. It was suggested they would be grand places for birds to nest ! Maybe they would be sealed with wood or stone. This church is said to be about 9 degrees off the East /West line. It seems it maybe on a pagan site. Anyone got a compass to check out Saint Cuthbert's.

Possibly but the church has no roof or door.

Well it appeared and now is gone. I signed out and Ukip appeared. Not sure why!

Well done the advert made it onto the site. 'Make a Noise for Bedlington'

Social Media are making people more aware of the issues. No longer do people vote because of who they are and how their parents voted. Indoctrination takes many many forms. The BBC and Newspapers are just two examples. Even on this site there seems often to be only one overstated viewpoint. People have every right to be enthusiastic about the way forward but the electorate equally have the right to choose. We call it democracy and hopefully we all get the decisions right. My fear is we do not learn and end up with a divided society. Basically We are better together fighting for what we see is right and fair. Maybe not agreeing but still prepared to work together.

No Adam it is a church. No one truly knows what the holes are there for.

Maybe maybe not!

Anglo /Saxon building techniques. Why the holes?

Would this fit in the modern house.

The folk awards are tomorrow night on Radio 2.
