Forgot to say - Bob did say thankyou

@threegee and how would a member, like myself and Canny lass, be able to do a redit to a comment that was posted more tha 10 to 15 mins ago?🤞

@Canny lass - Bob & a Mary Mclean say thankyou. This is the comments that Mar made and Bob's reply :-

Thankyou @Canny lass - I'll pass that on, from you, to Bob/👍

@Canny lass -Bob Turnbull (Bygone Bedlington FB group) has asked if anyone has any memory of the burnt hoose. So far nobody has has replied with any memories. Des it ring a bell with you?

That's what my prediction is based on

@Vic Patterson I see we have two posts on the new rail line - but no updates for 5 months.

Haven't seen any updates posted online for weeks now Vic. I'll see if I can find any updates that are giving the progress = telling the truth. This is a link to the Northumberland County Council Northumberland Line promotion site :- https://www.northumberlandline.uk/

Using your 7 predictions I go for :- 1. I will be avoiding the first 15 minutes of the start of every BBC news broadcast for at least the next 42 days 2. Anthony Charles Lyton Blair will resurface and make Donald John Trump and Nigel Paul Farage joint executives of the Institute for Global Change to ensure the UK is flung into the depths of depression and the UK population will have trouble doing normal day-to-day activities and will sometimes feel as if life isn’t worth living. (However I will still be singing and dancing in the rain doo be do do, do be doobe dodo, doo be do do, do be doobe dodo, doo be do do, do be doobe dodo, .................. ) 3. The congregations of all religions will swell as the UK’s population prays for Angela Rayner to be a convert to the Scottish National Party before the Labour short term government is embarrassed by Lorna Kuenssberg Sunday morning politics show. 4. Richard James Sunley Tice will have no seats in government and will return to making millions from real estate. 5. Rishi Sunak will stay as opposition leader. 6. Donald John Trump will be sentenced to four years. Is the White House the finest building in America or the crown jewel of the prison system (Bill Clinton 1993). 7.By the end of 2024 Sir Kier Rodney Starmer will not have communicated with Joseph Robinette Biden. One out of seven is a win, for me, and 7/7 means I will start my own party ready for the 2028 general election.

Now I see it -

Is the year 1961 just refering to when the film was broadcast? Picnic 1960 was Saturday 11th June & 1961 was Saturday 10th June. @threegee I think I need a cup of tea and a lie down - I can't see any calendar at 4:35

1961: The delight of the MINERS' BRASS BAND PICNIC | Monitor 54 | Weird and Wonderful | BBC Archive John Gibson introduces us to the brass band carnival and the colliery band contest at Bedlington, Northumberland which occurs each year - as a grand occasion for the family - mixing politics, beauty queens and, of course, music. John was representing Pegswood Colliery in Morpeth, Northumberland, which as he predicted was to soon close, doing so in 1969, some 101 years after it first opened. This short film was directed by Ken Russell. Clip taken from Monitor 54, originally broadcast on BBC Television on Sunday 3 July 1960.

I know you have said you have checked out the NU_AFC sites but as I had been digging around I will post what I found (and what you probably alread have) :- A site that covers NU_AFC through 1890 to 1990 (and is still 'work in progress') is :- https://nufc-history.co.uk Unfortunately your granda does not get named anywhere that I have looked on the site so it could be worth giving them the info you have to update their records. Using the NU_AFC 1923-24 squad photo your sister @Juliejule sent to me with your granda on I checked the names on the photo against the names the nufc-history.co.uk site had and there are three names, Coates, tate & Coulthard, on the photo that I can't find on the nufc-history site :-
