  1. From the album: Bedlington Station 1st School

    Posted on Facebook group Bedlington Remembered by Bob Scott.
  2. could be you are accidentally, simultaneously, pressing the Ctrl + B keys - that is the equivalent to selecting the B in the top left corner of the input box. If that is the case then I would say you are aaal fingas and thums man, ya want ti sort yasel oot.
  3. 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.
  4. 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."
  5. A further test - I tried uploading into an album created another member - Carole - Netherton/Nedderton Old Photos - and saved that photo into the album, no problem. Back to Bedlington Station 1st School album and another attempt to post a photo - FAILED again with the Error code as before. Doh
  6. Posted on Bygone Bedlington Facebook site by John Krzyzanowski :- 'May 31 1973. A bit of real Bedlington history. The announcement of the closure of the last Bedlington pit, Netherton colliery. It had been open since 1836 and at the time employed 558 men. End of an era.'
  7. 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...............
  8. Your names to watch out for, 3 and it used to be only 1, Lasse Viren. Has Sweden had an increase of hemoglobin donations?
  9. 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.
  10. 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'.
  11. 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.

    Photo from Bob Scott on the Bedlington remembered Facebook group. This one drove Tonyg to endless sessions in the Red Lion, trying to refresh his brain to recall his class mates of 65 years ago.

  15. Next one - only info = between 1959-62 - No 17 = Angela Foote - No 28 Adeline Jobson ?
  16. One awaits the harvest photos. We could start an annual online giant, photoshopped, vegetable show !

  18. From the album: Whitley Memorial School

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