From the album: Westridge School - End of term class photos
Posted on Facebook group Bygone Bedlington by Margaret Speller. -
Tried creating a new Album for 'Bedlington Station 1st School.' [full stop at end of name to make it unique], using a photo that had already been loaded into the existing 'Bedlington Station 1st School' :- Failed as above. Checked the photo properties of the photos I have been attempting to load and they have the same attributes as other photos on my system that have loaded into an album Ok. Attempted to upload a new photo, from the same folder on my system where I keep copies of photos already uploaded, into the existing Bedlington Station 1st school album and it failed as above. Copied the photo, that had just failed to upload, on to my Desktop and tried to upload into existing album - failed as above. Checked, checked, thumped my heed, checked again and couldn't find anything within my system that would possibly hint at why these attempte uploads were failing. Went back to the Bedlington site to sign out, approx 1 hour after having failed to load '1940s' photo into Bedlington Station 1st School album and the photo was there!! Attempted to upload a another photo, into the existing Bedlington Station 1st school album and back to Error Code IS111/1. I am not singing 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.

Please I missed the Olympic opening ceremony and watched the opening of the 2016-17 English Football league show! NUFC team will never be charged for taking performance enhancing drugs but they might be held up on being dope-s. At least for 7 days now I can watch some athletes giving their best.

July 2016 - In preparation for the dark nights to come Canny Lass bought a joke book. A little boy dresses up as a pirate for halloween. He has a bit of a speech impediment. The first house he goes to he says, "I'm a birate. This is my barrot. Can I have some bandy?" The woman looks at him and says, "My my aren't you cute. But where are your buccaneers?" The boy looks are her angrily and says "On the side of my buckin head you buckin dumass." -

He was, my mistake. My excuse - I was tired after an afternoon of Guiness + mince & dumplings and didn't check what I was typing. Haemoglobin - Irish Times on Lasse Viren :- ..........essentially, the athlete has a quart or more of blood extracted before a major competition. This blood is frozen, while the athlete keeps training to rebuild the blood to its normal level. Then just prior to racing, red cells from the extracted blood are transfused back into the athlete, instantly increasing the body's haemoglobin level and oxygen-carrying abilities. In other words, instantly boosting endurance...............

Your names to watch out for, 3 and it used to be only 1, Lasse Viren. Has Sweden had an increase of hemoglobin donations?

Can Great Britain beat 2012 - finished third in the medals table at the London 2012 Olympic Games, winning 29 golds and making 65 trips to the podium in total. That could be a tough tally to match at this summer's Games in Rio without a home crowd to spur them on, but there is still plenty of potential for success. Last month the target medal range for the team heading out to Rio was set between 47 and 79 based on performance data and analysis. (not my info, extract from SKY news) Never been unable to understand the point of the opening ceremony, of any event. Just a waste of money in my book. I will be watching loads. Especially track & field events where you can see the drive, determination, pain etc. in the face of the athletes. Swimming, diving, weightlifting, horse dressage, I will quite happily see if we win anything but wont be watching the competition.

For the last couple of days I have been unable to add photos to any existing Gallery Albums that I created. I did select the 'Contact us' option and pasted the fail message into the Contact us message and send it but no acknowledgment of my action was received from the 'system'. -

Reedy - I've sent a message to JK and updated him on Norah Hopper. Webtrecker - didn't know the Market Place Club stewardess but did know Tommy. I know he was Concert Chairman at the Market Place club for a few years and I first met him on the Civil Service site at Longbenton in the early 70s. This photo, (posted by John Dawson on sixtownships) of committee members was posted on Facebook saying they were all members of the Guidepost social club - don't know if Tommy was also on their committee or just visiting. -

As the Hollymount Square houses (right hand side of the photo) look completely built this photo will probably be after 1947-48. -
