Andy(4G) - Is there a function that allows you to delete photos from the Gallery? I have added some info, within an existing photo 'Netherton Colliery school2 earyl 1950s with names' and uploaded it into  Historic Bedlington - Netherton/Nedderton old photos 2 as 'NethertonCollieryInfantSchoolc1951withnames' but can't find a function that will allow me to delete the old copy 'Netherton Colliery school2 earyl 1950s with names'. I see there is an 'EDIT' function but on this new system it only allows me to update the Album information, not delete photos within the Album. As yet I haven't attempted to upload a replacement photo and give it the name of an existing photo to see if it replaces the old with the new.

Can't remember having seen a Coach Lane on anything I have looked at. Someone once posted a record from Bedlington Village Infants School - 1914 and that has one pupil living in Coach Road :- 

I try to avoid my opinions on the basis that if the correct facts are there as a basis for a debate/argument then the rest is just personal preference, whether based on experience or how the strings of the heart are pulled. However in this case I have to say something. That something is - why would we discuss any comment by a man who had a TV show with Mr Blobby and then a show based on highly volatile empty boxes that result in people, already housed in this country, whooping; clapping; praising the lord etc. etc when the box lid is revealed. I suggest Mr Edmonds and all contestants; audiences and highly trained box lid openers  swap places with immigrants wanting to live in England.

Admin - I am just documenting today's attempt to login. Not after a response, I would think it was something within my system. As I supported ICL mainframe systems for 30 years resetting passwords for users that got it wrong happened all the time so I would expect it to have been me that was getting it wrong today - BUT just in case there is an intermittent problem on the new system :-

Unable to login today at 11:43 using stored password.

Cleared password from stored password field and re-input - login still failed.

Reset Caps Lock and re-input password - failed.

When I have had to change my password for various sites I move the last two digits to the front of the password (makes it easy on the old memory) just in case I had reset it 2 years ago - failed again.

Last attempt -  failed and locked out/suspended for 15 mins.

13:46 - tried again, using stored password - failed again.

Opted for 'Forgot my password' (or whatever it is as I can't see it now) and responded to the email by resetting my password to get in.

Chose the same password, that I believe I have always had, for 2 years and the system accepted me.

Thank you all for your very kind thoughts! I had a pleasant day wallpapering the guest room. I got some nice presents too, including - 12 mosquito nets, 90 doses of tetanus vaccine, 90 doses of measles vaccine, 90 doses of polio vaccine and 150 packets of nut Cream to combat malnutrition and all have been sent to Children who need them most! And - perhaps my favourite - a new knitted hat. It's purple. PURPLE I tell you!!

Eggy, I'm well impressed with your language skills! Most people write 'gratis', using only one T, making me 'free' on my birthday instead of congratulating me!

And Foxy, I hope your not being 'impittent'!

Well that's my 2016 xmas ruined!

Dear Santa

I have a list of names for you that are to be added to the DOH list of naughty children that can be excluded from presents so Stephen Hawking can start his one relative theory into why them, and Disc World, have been ignored.

Not exactly Eggy. I translated it from Swedish. Got it from one of the 'older' grandchildren (who's now the conker champion with his very own 'sixer').

And what's a gizmodo?

Get in - Conker King.

''gizmodo' is where I found the answer to :- The first argument against Santa's existence comes from astronomer and astrophysicist Linda Harden—formerly known as The Human Neutrino. She outlined her rationale with demolishing logic in this classic post:

http://sploid.gizmodo.com/can-santa-claus-exist-a-scientific-debate-1669957032

The Indians are our latest buyers of mines where i worked in the mines south of Sydney

the curry munchers are reopening old mines.Up here in Qld they are trying to open the

Biggest ? mine in the world i think its called the Adami project

Could be another mass exodus of miners from North Yorkshire to Queensland Brian:-

http://www.adanimining.com/

Adani mining - Australia The Carmichael coal and railway project includes building Australia's largest thermal coal mine in the north Galilee Basin approximately 160km north-west of Clermont in Central Queensland, linked by a new 388 km standard gauge rail line to a new terminal at Abbot Point Port near Bowen.

Does Santa Clause exist?

 

No known species of reindeer can fly. However, there are 300 000 living organisms that do and even if most of these are insects and bacteria it doesn't rule out the possibility that flying reindeer - which only Santa Clause has access to - do, in fact, exist.

 

There are approximately 2 billion children (persons under the age of 18) on this earth. However, Santa Clause doesn't seem to visit Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus or Jews, thus reducing the workload to roughly 15% - in round figures 378 million.

 

With an average of 3.5 children per household - and assuming that at least one child in each household has behaved himself the whole year - Santa is required to visit 91.9 million homes.

 

Santa Clause has only 38 hours in which to do this - thanks mainly to the different time zones and the rotation of the Earth. I am of course assuming that he travels from east to west as that would appear to be the most logical. It follows that Santa Clause must make 822.6 visits every second. This would mean that at every Christian household with well behaved children Santa Clause would have 1/1 000 of a second to park, disembark, squeeze down the chimney, fill stockings, place parcels under the tree, eat the mince-pies and drink the sherry that have been left for him, get himself back up the chimney and onto his sleigh ready for the next visit while at the same time trying to remain reasonably sober..

 

If we assume that all these households are equally distributed over the surface of the earth (which we know they are not, but it makes the arithmetic easier), and that the journey is 1.2 km per household, then Santa's journey would be 120.8 million kilometres. Therefore, Santa's sleigh would have to move at a speed of 1 045 km/second (3 000 times the speed of sound!), if no child were to be disappointed on Christmas morning. I'm making no allowances here for toilet visits or meal times for either Santa or his reindeers. Just to compare, one of the quickest vehicles built by man - the Ulysses space probe - moves at a speed of 43.8 km/second while a reindeer - of the conventional type - moves at a speed of 24 km/hour.

 

The cargo on the sleigh adds another interesting dimension to the equation. If we assume that every child gets no more than a box of Lego, weighing approximately 1.5 kg, then the sleigh must be carrying 321 000 ton - and that's not including Santa Clause who is most often portrayed as being somewhat overweight.

 

On the ground, conventional reindeers can't draw a load of more than 220 kg so even if we agree that Santa's 'flying' reindeer can draw more than 10 times the normal weight it wouldn't be enough with only eight reindeer. We would need a staggering 214 000 reindeer which would increase the weight of the sleigh to 354 430 ton. Again, just for the sake of comparison, that's four times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth. Just imagine that on your roof!

 

These 354 430 tons, travelling at 1 045 km/second, would create an enormous air resistance which would heat up the reindeer - in the same manner as a space capsule returning to the earth's atmosphere. The two leading reindeer would absorb 14.3 quintillion joules of pure energy per second - EACH! In other words, they would be burned up immediately and, not enough with that, the reindeer following would be subjected not only to immense heat but also a deafening explosion. The whole troupe of reindeer would disintegrate in less that 4.26/1 000 of a second and Santa Clause would be subjected to a g-force 17 000 500.06 times the normal. A Santa Clause weighing 182 kg would be pressed against the back wall of the sleigh with a force of 3 149.961 kg.

 

The only conclusion that can be rightly drawn is that should there at any time have been a Santa Clause delivering presents on Christmas Eve then he is no longer living!

 

But, please keep this a secret and try to enjoy yourselves anyhow!

 

Have a really good Christmas and New Year.

 

PS I must learn how to post a Picture next year. It would be so much easier!

Brilliant. You must be sorted then. Time on your hands, or is that (apart from the last 3 lines) cut & paste.

Must get a new 'gizmodo' for xmas.

All the best. 

All the best to all members from Eggy & Great grandson :-

Sorry Eggy. It caused no problems on my pc though.

It was just an article from the Activist Post site with the following title...

Article Claims Elite Plan To Escape To Mars, Leave 99% Of Us On "Dying, Warring Planetâ€

Same here, followed the link, no alarm bell eveything was fine

Just selected the link again and my  'Malwarebytes' - reported 'Malicious website blocked' - again so I am assuming it is malware on that site.

Did a search on Google for 'interyield.td.553' and there are a few links to malware removal procedures to remove this PUP (potentially unwanted program) or PUA

(potentially unwanted application) from your system eg :-

Clicked on your link webtrekker and just as I was connected to the 'activistp' web site my 'Malwarebytes' - reported 'Malicious website blocked'.

Apart from this site I was connected to Facebook site 'WordsWithFriends' so I have to suspect the 'activistp' site.

I closed down the 'actvistp' link. I can't rove the malware came from this site.

Malware tips for the removal of Interyield pop-up can be found at this site :-

Merry Xmas Bedlington.

Wooden railway bridge over the river Blyth - William Ricalton, on the Sixtownships site posted this postcard with the comment :- "It was found in a house clearance here in Longhorsley, thought it might be of interest." Checked all the other photos of the old wooden bridge and this is the clearest photo of them all, showing more of the house on the Bedside side of the river.

Can't even rubber-neck cos the road is closed. Drove down Front Street last Monday heading for Horton and had to take diversion at the Market Place as Bedlington Bank closed and when I tried again today - still closed. Can't find anything on the www.
