Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

Yes, yes, yes, yes - orgasmic!

Cheers Andy - just waiting to see what HPW would like - an Album or everything in this Coal Mining topic.

Andy - if I was to create an Album of HPWs photos of Bates pit would there be a restriction on the amount of space available? HPW has 40 photos on his Flickr page and my estimate would be that the album would require approximately 10MB to take all the photos. I have currently extracted (no simple download or copy image available on the Flickr page) 28 images and made them jpg files and those 28 = 4.63 MB (4,864,549 bytes) on my PC. As you would expect HPW has a comment with every photo posted on his Flickr page and I would estimate that the average number of characters added into the 'Description' of each photo posted to be 180. If HPW wants this created for him would there be a problem or could I just go ahead and say create an Album in 'Places' or '..and the rest' gallery?

Is the 'Shop' tab/link available to non members visiting the site? Should the 'Shop' link be posted on social media, facebook, for Bedlington residents and expats to see?

Mobile, whats that?

No mention on the web site :- http://www.bedlingtonterriersfc.com/club-information/players-staff/ The last newspaper story that Google finds, with Mr Rich, is :- http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/local-news/bedlington-terriers-fc-facing-winding-up-1352784

Couldn't name 'the best' but another Bedlington lad, lived in Hirst Villas, that played professionally was John Brodie :- born 8 September 1947 who played as a full-back for Whitley Bay, Carlisle United, Bradford Park Avenue,Port Vale, and Northwich Victoria. Played for Whitley Bay, before joining Carlisle United in 1967. The "Cumbrians" finished tenth and 12th in the Second Division in 1967–68 and1968–69 under the stewardship of first Tim Ward and then Bob Stokoe. He then joined Bradford Park Avenue, who went on to be relegated out of the Football League in 1969–70 after finishing bottom of the Fourth Division. He was signed by Port Vale manager Gordon Lee for a £250 fee in January 1971. He became a regular in the team, building a reputation for his "hard tackling and reliability". However during a 3–1 defeat to Huddersfield Town at Leeds Road on 8 March he went into a "ruthless tackle" only to come out with a red card and a broken leg. He recovered by January 1976, and played 12 games at the end of the 1975–76 season before re-breaking his leg in a 3–0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion at the Withdean Stadium on 10 April. He managed to play three games in the 1976–77 season, but after breaking the same leg for a third time he decided to retire in April 1978. He was given a testimonial game for Port Vale in August 1979, in what turned out to be a goalless draw with Everton.

I could be way out of touch here but I always believed that Microsoft Outlook email system was designed to be a more 'user-friendly' service that was a link between your device and your actual service provider. If this is still the case then although there is some validation of emails received into Outlook it's your service provider that should be doing the main blocking of SPAM emails. Is this still the case with Outlook? Do you have a service provider - BT - TalkTalk- etc. etc where your emails are delivered into or are your incoming emails delivered direct to the Outlook service? As for your 'firmware' validating the address of the sender on your incoming emails I would expect that most services, if not them all, would not see it necessary. I would think the designers of email systems would work on the basis that the user receiving emails would rather make their own decisions, rather than their firmware blocking potentially important emails, that could have some data ie. senders address corrupted, in transmission. Americans would surely sue their service provider if that happened. It's only when you create or reply to an email that your service provider will validate the address you are sending out of your system to ensure it's a valid format. SPAMmers of course have software that wraps around their service provider system and changes the format and names of their outgoing emails. If I'm talking Blloosk (encrypted by my software) then sorry.

I used them when I lived in Cramlington. Got them to give me a quote, windows,doors, guttering, fascias & soffits, when I moved to Seghill (declined their quote and got a lad from Bedlington to do them for half the price and no slava - unfortunately that was the last job the lad did, cancer got him). They did ring a couple of more times and then I stayed on the phone politely requesting the young lady to take our number out of their database as the our current upvc products would probably see us out. The young lady agreed and we haven't had a call for years. Could just be pure luck.

I will have a look young man. Don't hold one's breath, I often get distracted. Would you like me to create an Album - title of your choice - and add all the pit pics into the album?

Signed - and the wife signed without me asking her.

I had seen it John but for some reason I thought it was 'Youth Club Block' created by the club. I can't remember this building at all. It must have been that period in my life when I was taxing our kids all over Cramlington, where we lived for 28 years, and I was only allowed out on a Friday night!

Couldn't find a photo of the portacabin moe, but in the comments associated with the compilation photo id does say :- 'Before moving to The Laird's House, after the fire, the club had temporary accommodation in a portacabin type structure. Can't find an photo of that cabin but expect Foxy might just have one, from the inside.'

There's always a group wanting to protest about something :- https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2017/jan/26/australia-day-attended-by-growing-controversy-and-calls-for-date-change

Ok if I add these images into the Gallery album - Historic Bedlington - Bedlington drinking establishments - Then & Now? The Oddfellows Arms gets a mention in one of Evan Martin's books in his list of Hotels, Inns & Taverns of Bedlington in 1886 with the proprietor as T. R. Simm

Have you looked at the images in the Gallery moe?

I did do some searching on all the pubs etc. when reedy first published his dad's list. I only searched from the comfort of my PC, just on the www. There are 4 references to Public Houses, around that area on the old map in the attached photo. Can't remember where I found this map - all the other old maps I have looked at - 1866 - 1898 - 1924 etc. in the past just show one PH and I believe that was the Wheat Sheaf Inn. If you look in the Gallery under Historic Bedlington - Bedlington drinking establishments - Then & Now you will see the info I managed to dig up on the Bedlington pubs from reedy's list.

moe19 if you mean the Netherton Colliery old club then it is in the original list as - 'Old Netherton Club/Naval Club'
