Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

Vic - John Krzyzanowski, Admin on the Facebook Bygone Bedlington site, works at Woodhorn Museum, searched the old news papers and found this story on the damage to the cross in 1938 :-

One day I will read through all 62 pages, again or use the 'search' facility! Bet the one about simple Tommy at The Market Place club Go-as-you-please night is not in the 62 pages.

Yes but I'll save them for another day. How about :- So this teacher is teaching her junior school class, and she's telling them that the word of the day is 'contagious.' She asks if anyone can use this word in a sentence, and several people stick up their hands. "Carl," she says. Carl says, "My dad told me to stay away from kids with mumps,'cause they're contagious." "Very good," says the teacher. Then she picks Suzie, who says, "The atmosphere was contagious," and the teacher says, "Excellent, Suzie!" Then she notices that Little Johnny has his hand up, at the back of the class. "Yes, Johnny?" she says. Johnny says, "The other day, me and my dad's a-sittin around, and we saw our blonde neighbor painting her fence. She had a tiny little model car paintbrush, and she was going in tiny little strokes up and down the fence, and my dad says to me, "Jesus, it's gonna take that c**t ages to finish that fence."

CL - have you got 14 mates?

Foxy has a photo, dated the 60's, of the old houses just before the Coffin Chapel, in the Gallery Album - Historic Bedlington / Days Gone Around the Town. It's on page 2, 3rd from the end. My dad, Adam Edgar, worked at Hugh Bolckows in the late 60's. You've got me scratching me head now, Albert Hooper - possibly an occasional pint in the Percy Arms?

mais oui - nuits sans sommeil et des rêves humides.

Another success, photo posted in Barrington County Primary School. I can only assume a fix has been applied and the world will be a better place - I'msinging and dancing in the rain - doo be do do, doobe doobe do do, doo be do do, doobe doobe do do, doo be do do, doobe doobe do do

Google Chrome - no longer supported with Vista, but I'm sticking with it for the life of my PC, now 8 years old.

Works Ok for me but I am still in the dark ages - Desktop PC - Windows Vista - and use mouse, dragging the cursor from start point to end point, to highlight areas of text where the existing font is to be changed or highlighted.

Was that before or after the 'Coffin chapel' - this old postcard, Coffin chapel bottom right, was posted on one of the Bedlington Facebook sites and a comment was added saying the terraced row, that is now Brook Court, was Hirst Terrace

Welcome Pauline - was it confusing at that end of Victoria Terrace - did you class your self as a Station lass; a TopEnd lass or even an Allgood Terrace lass?

Uploaded and posted two photos in Bedlington Station 1st school album without any fails- the same two photos I have been attempting for the previous few days. need to find some more photos whilst the going is good! I would suspect that the system was reloaded/refreshed/restarted last night and the 'input areas' for uploading photos cleared out (or increased in size) allowing today's uploads to stored Ok. Off to find some more photos.

Snap :- Great Britain's Adam Peaty qualified easily for Sunday's 100m breaststroke final having earlier broken his own world record. The 21-year-old qualified fastest in 57.62 seconds as he aims to become the first British male to win an individual Olympic swimming gold since 1988.
