GETTING OLDER Since it was such a crappy day, I sat in my recliner and started thinking about life. I came to realize that, as I have grown older I've learned that pleasing everyone is...impossible, but pxxxing everyone off is a piece of cake. Condoms don't guarantee safe sex anymore. A friend of mine was wearing one when he was shot by the woman's husband. Lance Armstrong....I think it is just terrible and disgusting how everyone has treated Lance Armstrong, especially after what he achieved, winning seven Tour de France races, while on drugs. Hell, when I was on drugs, I couldn't even find my bike. Drive-by...Someone broke into my house last week. They didn't take my TV, just the remote. Now he drives by and changes the channels. The sick bastard!!! The Agony of Aging...On the morning that Daylight Savings Time ended, I stopped in to visit my aging friend. He was busy covering his penis with black shoe polish. I said to him, "You better get your hearing checked. You're supposed to turn your CLOCK BACK." Video Scam...Just got scammed out of $25. Bought Tiger Woods DVD entitled "My Favorite 18 Holes". Turns out it's all about golf. Absolute waste of money! Pass this on so others don't get scammed. Pregnant Prostitute...Doctor asks a pregnant prostitute, "Do you know who the father is?" "Hey, dumb ass," she replied, "If you ate a can of beans, would you know which one made you fart?"

Photo from the Internet Bandsman Everything Within (IBEW) blog/site Whilst searching the www for any photos of Colliery band Banners I stumbled on a site/blog of a guy, Gavin Holman, that collects colliery brass band photos from the UK and the rest of the world. This one is from his collection but he had no other info with the photo. I posted the photo on the Facebook Bygone Bedlington & Bedlington Remembered sites and the members have come up with some names, but no date as to when it was taken.
-
One other band photo on the IBEW site is Netherton Colliery Silver Model Prize Band. The Bass drum in each photo appears to be the same one. I have not scrutinize the faces in both photos to see if it is the same band, but you would expect that Netherton only had the one brass band. -
Whilst looking for info on Netherton Village I came across the Northumberland Communities site and on there were some extracts from the old school logs of 1919, closed school early & 1920, the kids have been cleaned up! -
Extract from Parson & White Trade Directory - 1828 = the Nedirton family name! -
Jim - extract from http://maps.nls.uk/view/101028522 Have you viewed the 3 Albums about Netherton in the Gallery?

The Club Committee Members - 1970s - photo from John Richardson - Bygone Bedlington Facebook group - posted with this comment :- Here is one from my dads collection. It is the Station W M Club committee I guess from the 1970s. My dad gave me my membership card on my 18th birthday. We had some good nights there, hard to imagine we had to queue to get in at weekends, Christmas etc. My dad Joe, is third from right on the back row. I know some of the others, Bill Crosby, Jack Chapman and Jack Routledge but struggle with the other names, perhaps members could name them? Within 2 days a name supplied for everyone in the photo, three not 100%

No 24 = Kathleen Reavley - identified by Mansel Dinnis who runs the sempersursum.co.uk web site. -
Sorry Malcolm - not me, don't think there is any more, online work, I could do to help. I know symptoms was preparing a list of names but I have not been involved. Eggy

Can't do any harm HPW. I think it you created a couple of topics in History Hollow or Chat Central, say one for each school, then I could 'copy & paste' each separate class list of names into a photo/image/jpg file and add them as individual entries in the Whitley Memorial & Westridge Albums. That way any member could then comment and/or update each Album entry and we shouldn't get the class names mixed up. -
Names updated on the photo HPW and I have posted the updated photo back on the Bygone Bedlington Facebook group site and 'tagged' Jim Hardy. I will see if he replies and see if there are any more updates before I upload here. There was also a comment on the Facebook site from a David Walker, and it was him that identified himself, No 22, in the photo. So I 'tagged' him as well using your ear wiggling story to see if he reacts to that.

@Symptoms - the rest of the world is convinced that No 18 is Alan (not Simon) Temple and that also applies to No 8 on your WESTRIDGE 4 photo.
