Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

Surely every manufactured product in this world is cloned from previous knowledge and then wrapped up to hopefully appeal to enough punters so it makes a huge profit for the company clone!

Can't remember hearing that one before - thank you Keith - Brilliant.

Can't remember this happening before - Credit card statement for this month = Outstanding Balance £0.00 = too old!!

Mmmmmm - memories - your post makes me think back and feel just as old as I felt yesterday. 1975 - ICL 1900s - fixed discs - can't remeber if they were FD80s or 800s 1980 - ICL 2900 - Exchangeable Discs - EDS200s My first PC - 1995 - ICL M40 - YES an amazing 40 Mb of store - cost £1,400+! = Lemmings - Kings Quest; Space Quest - Blox etc. No mouse, everything moved via the keyboard. Can't find that article you read on Disk Operating systems.

Maggie John Sykes (of Newcastle –upon-Tyne) – 1833 – a Historical register of remarkable events. http://books.google.co.uk/books/about/Local_records_or_Historical_register_of.html?id=MkkuAAAAMAAJ&redir_esc=y You may use this facility but in case you don't; I know you research the history of our county and probably search for historical books at various shops throughout our region. Whilst searching via Google for 'River Wansbeck – Wakenshaw Hall – Drowning' a link to Google Books (something I have never looked at, I don't read ) came up with a link to a book by John Sykes (of Newcastle –upon-Tyne) – 1833 – a Historical register of remarkable events. I have not read the 410 pages (closed my eyes for 10 mins and slayed 3 dragons, rescued and made love to 12 maidens………….) Looks like a very good Index, at the end of the book……….just nodded off and scored the winning goal at the FA Cup final, in injury time!

I think the newsagent at The Red Lion - Beadnell's, got a few mentions when we were identifying old shops etc but this was the only post I could find that covered it so I've added a picture I have just come accross. This is a very old 'photoshoped' postcard I saw in a book by Brian Godffrey - 'Postcards from Cramlington'. These were the postcards produced to cover the sight of the Zeppelin - April 14th 1915. It shows Dr Trotters monument, Beadnell's shop, The Wharton and a structure where the 'BUDC' shelter was erected.

Malcolm - is there any on-line facilities - NCC - Tesco - Morrisons etc. where we the bedlington.co.uk community could ask or /email about public toilet facilities? I have done a quick check on the NCC, Tesco & Morrisons sites but can't find an appropriate facility. Could the community site invite the local supermarkets & NCC to see what the locals complain about on their community site?

Supposedly actual comments made on students' end of term reports:- 1. Since my last report, your child has reached rock bottom and has started to dig. 2. I would not allow this student to breed. 3. Your child has delusions of adequacy. 4. Your son is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot. 5. Your son sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them. 6. The student has a 'full six-pack', but lacks the plastic thing to hold it all together. 7. This child has been working with glue too much. 8. When your daughter's IQ reaches 50, she should sell. 9. The gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming. 10. If this student were any more stupid, he'd have to be watered twice a week. 11. It's impossible to believe the sperm that created this child beat out 1,000,000 others. 12. The wheel is turning but the hamster is definitely dead.

Keith - I'm sure you have looked into all the ins & outs of starting work (and not getting paid for a month) but if I can help with any searching the .gov info sites, like - https://www.gov.uk/moving-from-benefits-to-work/support-when-you-start-working etc. etc. I will.

Remember the 'bricks' but unfortunately can't remember such convenience as a dispenser for us Bed. Station lads, we had to retrieve them from the ice-cream freezer.

Congrats Keith - I thought I spotted you on your way for the interview:-

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.

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.â€

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

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.

I would assume this to be true, but no doubt someone with more experience ( I have none) in these areas will correct me.
