Application Forms - Signs Of The Times
Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) replied to keith lockey's topic in Chat Central
Still does Keith, it's just your mind is in tune with the modern world and you should walk an interview! Unless you are Whinney the Pooh where Ho Hum = a sigh, a constant source of disappointment, Ho Hum. Good Luck (whatever way you are playing it) for tomorrow. -
Keith - just been on the Hp support web site and they don't do a 7620 laptop - do you mean 6720? Not that I have a clue what the problem is and unless the red & whites are available to night you won't get many replies tonight - Arsenal are just about to give us, NUFC, a kicking - off to suffer, again.

List Of Pubs And Clubs - Bedlington District
Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) replied to Reedy's topic in History Hollow
Too late for the tourist trade but the now closed Barrington Arms gets a paragraph in Issue No 138 - February/March 2014 of The Northumbrian - Gordon Wilkinson (journalist I think) on a subject 'How a Pub makes a name for itself' has written :- ...... However a look in the window of the Barrington Arms in Bedlington during the Second World War could have brought good news to those fancying a pint. Beer was rationed in those days but it could be in short supply , so the landlord would stick a stuffed monkey in the window to tip off those in the know that he had recieved a consignment. The pub has been named the nicknamed The Monkey ever since.' No mention of where he got the story from. -
Thicko's. So the police will be on the look out for short people who are a Toolbox short of a spanner! Anyone seeing a table balanced on four bricks please report it.

http://www.quailfarm.co.uk/index.php/quail-info/quail-breeding The Breeding Stock There are generally two main methods of breeding that are normally practiced in quail breeding. One is when you have mixed sex quails in a cage/ housing. The male-female rate should be 1:2.5 which means 4 quail cockerels to 10 quail hens. If you breed quails on a larger scale or don't have the time necessary to spend on the other method this is the one you want to go for. This method has some disadvantages as well, like frequent fights between the males, which causes general nervousness in the cage and the fertilization and egg laying rate can become irregular.

They have taken their time. These are the first Oscar nominations I have received :- She didn't notice Oscar sneaking up behind her.................. It was the silence of the limbs. New Valentine's Day card: "Roses are red, violets are glorious.. Never creep up On Oscar Pistorius.†-
2b) or not 2 . I appreciate the educational update sir. I was just attempting to do the same myself. I also hate keeping knowledge to myself, prefer to pass it on. Thanks

What You Miss When You Move Away......
Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) replied to Malcolm Robinson's topic in Chat Central
When I did work away, I missed NOT having to repeat myself. -
Never had, or eaten quail. Will these be pics of - baked - skewered - roasted - wrapped - barbecued or just happy quail waiting to be collected by the chef? A quick Google on Quail breeding suggests you will have a busy time Brian and your cocks will be kept busy - 6 to 8 week turnaround. Hope you have 2 cocks Brian and you keep them seperated otherwise, by all accounts, they will be fighting to service the hens! Roasted five spice jumbo quail.

There is a para in Annex 2 of the document posted, Posted 16 April 2014 - 10:18 PM, : -· 59c0d895-2a5e-45c6-bcaa-1ffa92d886a7.pdf 167.19KB by Fourgee that states:- ANNEX 2 Conditions attached to the grant of planning permission for 19 residential flats with onsite parking at Bedlington Old School, Front Street West, Bedlington, Northumberland NE22 5EL; 5) Notwithstanding the details submitted with the planning application, no development shall commence (or at a time as otherwise agreed with the Local Planning Authority) until detailed designs for; a) Vehicular and pedestrian access point(s) to the application site, Car parking areas, c) Vehicular turning spaces, have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The works as approved shall be completed prior to the occupation of any of the dwellings hereby permitted (or at a time as otherwise agreed with the Local Planning Authority) and shall be thereafter retained. I would assume this to be true, but no doubt someone with more experience ( I have none) in these areas will correct me. PS. that's not me adding in the grinning emoticon it must be that 'b + close brackets' is the code for

Thanks 4g. Looks good to me. Even if it's just housed by 38 Yuppies it's a move forward. Has to be better than a derelict school that would eventually crumble completely. Not the type of subject I have ever done any digging into before so please correct me if I am wrong - As the Appeal Decisions document has a Decision date 8th January 2010 and this expires after 5 years does this mean that Nicholson Nairn Architects will be initiating the construction of the new apartments before the end of 2014? I fancy posting this compilation in the History Hollow 'Then and Now' topic

Sorry for dragging this on, I know things are always repeated when new people join in on old topics. I have attempted to find out as much as I can on any ongoing discussions on developing this old school but only find that witch I take was rejected. Just searching online I could only find the one story about the derelict site, in the Chronicle on May 11th 2009 : - http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/public-inquiry-over-derelict-building-1454307 And then a developer's site :- http://www.nicholsonnairn.co.uk/project-template.php?id=60 That suggested it was in the bag and the projected images they had posted on their site looked to fit in Ok. Can't find anything since 2009!

Electric Vehicle Charging Point Front Street West
Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) replied to Andy Millne's topic in Talk of the Town
Leaf it alone. Either plug your cables int Keith's cat or the one at Schalksmuhle Road NE22 7LA. -
No. Not even if they 'transmogrify' into Dwane Dibley.

I assume the building, and land, is now owned by the council, not the church. I would expect the council to be applying for the building to be removed from the Listed Building register, as it is on in error, so they could sell the land for development. If the building is not removed from the list then in some circumstances could the council be forced to repair the property?

Shud your name not be Kieth? Barton infants were taught 'i' before 'e' accept after 'c'. And that's why I failed my English Language - 1/2 a mark deducted for every spelling mistake.

Thanks Adam. The school that developers wont touch because their are two many restrictions?

Global Warming....good Or Bad?
Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) replied to Malcolm Robinson's topic in Chat Central
First the Yep, very interesting. I enjoyed that, thanks Malcolm. Just proves my theory I have developed over my whole life - Every body has different ideas and you need someone to make the decision, rightly or wrongly. I still feel that after taking the time to watch it all - 75+ mins I must add my bit:- Man made Global Warming Medieval Warm Period Holocene Maximum So now we have the inconvenient truth we can relax knowing that all the hot air from the 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s will soon escape our atmosphere. Once we have eaten all the livestock on the planet and gone vegetarian the planet will benefit. If we can get Keith to check for sun spots and publish his daily findings Bedlington will know how to plan the number of Ice Cream vans to have out each day. Conclusion s Today's global warming is a result of expelled hot air from theories the mouths of protesters complaining that Britain was warming up following a period of 4 decades of cooling. The Thames (and hopefully the river Blyth) will freeze over again. If we solve global warming thousands will be out of work, there will be more decades of hot air from unemployed scientists saying it was all Margaret Thatcher's fault and Britain will again freeze over. No climate models, including Elle Macpherson, have everything going for them. Bottle permafrost and sell it to Australia and your descendants will be rich for ever. If you take a holiday in Iceland don't forget to take your mosquito protection spray. Buy less clothes and spend the savings enjoying the rest of your life and leave the tweaking of forecasts and predictions up to the scientific community who have spent the last 30 years in doors, away from the sun. -
Well, that's the end of that then. Can I offer you a lift to a different universe Keith? Malcolm is fueling the eggy shuttle!

Would someone please enlighten me, and I am sure many others. Does this 'Old' church hall have a name and a specific location?

Yes it makes a very good point but does it get through to those we would like it to get through to? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=jOrGsB4qG_w

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&list=PLSKUhDnoJjYn0TV9V84C4Wr2DjKPc492c&v=8oI_laHhGjE Check out the above link on youtube. This is the notification I received giving a link to a site that has a list of known/possible affected services:- Recently, a major security vulnerability named "Heartbleed" has made headlines around the world. This is a severe vulnerability stemming from a coding mistake in a widely-used security utility called OpenSSL. The bug affects the encryption technology designed to protect your sensitive data on the Internet, like usernames, passwords and emails. This is a flaw in the OpenSSL encryption code, not a virus that can be stopped by McAfee or other consumer security software. Because this vulnerability takes advantage of servers, and not consumer devices, businesses need to update to the latest version of OpenSSL to mitigate and address the dangers posed. The severity of the Heartbleed vulnerability cannot be overstated: several major enterprises use OpenSSL, and are likely affected by this vulnerability as well. The dangers posed by this vulnerability are very real and could affect you if exploited. So what do you need to do? Right now, the best thing you can do is wait to be notified about affected services and patches or you can investigate this list provided by Mashable that has some well known brands listed.If you'd like to investigate whether or not a website you frequent has been affected, you can use this tool.Reset your password for every online service affected by Heartbleed. But beware: you should only change your password after the afflicted business has fixed its servers to remove the Heartbleed vulnerability. Changing your passwords before a company's servers are updated will not protect your credentials from being leaked.

'Curiosity' got the better of me so I checked it out! Spoke to Kimberley, currently being explored on Mars, and she reckons it is the Australian rover using a Clas Holsen Halogen 60w bayonet fitting candle bulb. However Melissa Rice of the California Institute of Technology said in a release. 'An artificial light source was seen this week in this NASA photo which shows light shining upward from the ground. This could indicate there is intelligent life below the ground and uses light as we do. This is not a glare from the sun, not is it an artifact of the photo process. Look closely at the bottom of the light. It has a very flat surface giving us 100 per cent indication it is from the surface. Ben Biggs, editor of All About Space magazine, said: "While the "light" is as yet unexplained, it's quite a leap to assume that it has an intelligent source. Patrick Moore's protégé had no idea :- However a check with Nasa and they say the bright spot is not that unusual. Curiosly the Mars rover takes images using two cameras, one in its right eye and the other in its left. While the image from the right eye shows this bright spot, the same image from the left eye does not. Nasa says:- 'If you do a little research, you can see that the light is not in the left-Navcam image that was taken at the exact same moment (see that image below). Several imaging experts agree this is a cosmic ray hit, and the fact that it's in one 'eye' but not the other means it's an imaging artifact and not something in the terrain on Mars shooting out a beam of light.' "The public can afford to speculate wildly but Nasa is an organisation internationally renowned for credible science. I have therefore delayed the scrambling of the Eggy Shuttle, but it is poised, on the roof, ready.
