In the House of Commons our MPs disagree and then go and have a drink together. Perhaps we should do the same. Slogans like 'Coal not Dole' add simplicity to the argument. Questions like 'Did she start a class war' would divide us all. Strong government with a dark side! An MP once said to me the solution is always difficult, you clean up the river for the fish and the factory closes and people are out of a job. So what is the answer? Some people are just waiting to be offended, they read the news and see clearly what is wrong, but what is the answer. As I said at the start this Lady created a Marmite effect. Love, hate, respect! The question of humour occurs on almost every forum of this site. There is a lot that could offend but we all accept the sincerely held viewpoints of others.

The issues are important and serious. I agree with her being afforded every respect but she did upset an awful lot of people. People often use humour to help them when they feel helpless. In politics everyone is under the microscope, sadly all to often they fail to live up to a high ideal. Contrast our industrial base with Germany. I would welcome comments about her that are positive, I am sure lots of people have lots to say. That is our democracy

Beat you by five minutes Symptoms. Just as we'll we all have a sense of humour!

Brilliant Shappi Khorsandi says sniff but she gave us alternative comedy. I keep thinking of Spitting Image ' and what are the vegetables having' Reply 'they will have the same as me'

Sarah Millican says that the miners can dance today! Ross Noble is moaning that in rural Austrailia he is going to miss the street parties. Brian Appleton says Maggie Maggie Maggie Out Out Out.

History topic Maggie Thatcher died today A very controversial figure. She attracted hate and respect in possibly equal measure! Her policies changed our lives forever!

Maybe of interest if you cannot get to visit the new lady in our midst. I think this summer and after we are going to find rather a lot of visitors in the area. We may even have to complain about Bloody Tourists.

And you tell the kids these days and they just don't believe you! Apologies to the four Yorkshire men and Monty Python.

And we have just beaten Fulham.

Best wishes and remember

Inspired by being away from the NE,reminds me of the cushions for sale with dialect words. Eeeh an expression of surprise maybe as in "Eeeh ar yeh all rite" "Eeeh man, hows ur fettle"

Again this could be in the humour section. The entrance has to be seen to be believed. To think people were campaigning against the too bright signs of the Morrisons Garage, a few years ago! Maybe we are just jealous, in Bedlington what could we do with just a fraction of the money spent.
-
That should be in the humor section. Very good, may use that quote at times!
-
Morpeth that reminds me of the Easter tradition of 'Egg boolin and jaapin, at Morpeth's Easter Field. If you have not been to Morpeth for a while you will be shocked at the new Morrisons. Gone is the Old Red Bull pub and in it's place a palace to consumerism, complete with a totally over the top entrance.

The old vicarage and the garden parties held by The Osgathorps are good to remember. Not quite like the version in The Leek Club. I remember everyone being friendly and kind. The house and garden must have their own history. Wonder when the house was built?
-
Yesterday part of the building behind the site now has exposed foundations. Despite the back fill and the work they are doing the buildings around and the road all look like an accident waiting to happen. Not sure who drives up behind the Sun Inn but anyone doing so is very very brave.
-
What about "Singing Hinnies" I might just go and make some.
-
I thought it was just a joke, until I read about the murder!

If you want to Mang the cant, you need to read Gordan Wilkinson's book Muckle Bari Morts and Gadgies. I got a copy from the Morpeth Chantry. In the book the author says the Morpeth Dialect is a mixture of Northumbrian, Miners Pitmatic and some Urdu words from the Romany Gypsies. The author who I think is from somewhere in Bedlington also says, Jugal is a dog Deek means look. Bari means good. Shan is bad. Radgie is crazy Deek, Bari and Radgie I remember using in Bedlington

Worth thinking about in relation to today's problems

Do not miss out read the other listing for Emily. Lots to think about.
-
My last post needs to be read in connection to the other listing for dear Emily
-
The guy at Barrington who murdered his wife and buried her in the garden is alleged to have sung, only a Rose in a Garden of Weeds. Gallows humour
-
Wonder how many jockeys have died in the Grand National. How many others have been traumatised because of what they have witnessed both to the jockeys and the horses. Has anyone committed suicide years later because they could not get it out of their mind. Obviously paying tribute to the cause first. There are so many reasons to thank Emily. She has caused us to discuss these issues.

Yesterday in Morpeth reminded me of Bedlington and the Miners Picnic. Parades, folk groups even a band playing in the park. No political arguments. If bored there was also an auction at Louis Johnsons
