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

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

Cambois has a history that goes back before the current name. I recall an argument that it was the port of call for ships, boats because if its position. Between the rivers. Bedlington and the townships are in a unique position. I just wish someone would provide the money and expertise to investigate.

You learn something new every day. My childhood was lacking discovery time at Cambois. Aliens and Monsters! Oops sorry I meant to say, that the powers that be we're protecting us all from disaster! On the basis of the film threads set in Sheffield, I think, in the event of nuclear warfare the best option is death.

Good descriptive word but horrible thought. Just cough it up!

Boulmer maybe. Huge underground complex.

The Guardian today has an interesting article on the suffragettes. Page12 the Review Smashing the Glass. Manchester Art Gallery is celebrating the picture smashing with a series of events and exhibitions called Wonder Women Facts and figures. Lots of examples of unfairness. It is maybe difficult to understand why these ladies behaved so badly but they felt it was hugely important. Have things changed? Deeds not words

His grave is in the church yard. Near the vestry. Osgathorp claimed his bible saved him from death in a World War. He seemed very old so I assumed the first but I was young and he seemed ancient. I have a confirmation list that reads like a who's who of Bedlington. The days when you knew everyone, or the family did. For old pictures etc we need to write down people time and place. My mother and father were the font of all names. I just enjoyed the history of it all, still do
