Did anyone see Jack Bruce playing with Lau!

The oldest Indian Takeaway in our memory was in Station Road Ashington. Circa late 70s early 80s. Before the Cavalier Restaurant in Morpeth changed to the Manzil maybe 83/4. Our kids claimed they would never touch the food. Pity that did not last they have cost us a fortune. Today the food does not often taste of being cooked over charcoal. We love all the fresh herbs and spices. Pilau Rice , Nan Bread , tandoori Yum Yum

Libraries are great! No copy in Bedlington but just got a copy from Morpeth.

I wonder when the Black Bullets were first made. Interesting name for sweets.

Public Meeting, Bedlington Community Centre. 19 November
Maggie/915 replied to willy j.'s topic in Talk of the Town
At Free thinking someone maybe Karen Armstrong said by their very nature all governments are combative. Interesting thought 'Strong Government' Who can fight for us in Europe and beyond!!! -
Have you ever thought about becoming a Stand up comedian Symptoms. You could give John Shuttleworth a run for his money.

For any History you have to ask who wrote it and look for any primary sources! Everyone in this case can be right! Basically think about a Bedlington Council Meeting and any minutes need to be understood in light of which side your on. Unless you have a recording that has not been tampered with.

The whole CD/LP of Moondance is great but for us it has to be Astral Weeks. Wavelength is another favourite. The record he did with the Chieftains is another regularly played. He teamed up with Brian Kennedy in later years which was worth a listen. Really could not pick out an all time favourite. On one occasion we saw him and he got irritated that someone shouted for 'Brown Eyed Girl' Next time it was on his play list.

Our turn will come.

I think HMRC is underfunded like most government departments. Less and less employees do more and more work it seems! There is an argument under 'Quantative Easing' for putting the money in a helicopter and throwing it out to stimulate the economy. Instead of that employ people! Start with bus conductors and solve traffic congestion. Well not entirely! In the past there were so many more local jobs and people supported the local economy.

There could well be a burial under the old school. Digging down to road level. Forget the land banking. Compulsory purchase order. Let's get to the bottom of it all!

Political debate is fine by me.

So the 26th November is the important day. Road closed and party time. We are going to have to leave the Red Lion, last year we watched the parade from the windows.. Winter woollies on.

Topics of General Interest:- I have taken the title literally. Basically anything that would interest someone in Bedlington. Something to chat/ talk about in the town. (Pub, Church or outside Tesco's ) Something you would not want showing up on a search engine maybe.

Topics of general interest! Why do we bother!

Why not?
