Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

Just looked out the window - Trick or Treat!

Can't substantiate this but we were told it was owned by the younger brother, the unknown footballer - Tommy Charlton.

Keith - whilst searching for something else I came across a photo of The Bedlington Terrier pub on:- http://www.yourlocal...ngton/pictures/ It's probably my memory playing games with me but for some reason I thought I had read in one of the topics (that I can't find, now) that you had not managed to get a photo of The Bedlington terrier pub before it was demolished.

Not a funny but thought it was excellent. Seen a number of Youtube clips on the 'Paper Cup Song- Your gonna miss me when I'm gone' but this Gaelic version is brilliant. Amhrán na gCupán - When I'm gone as Gaeilge

Brain Storming, alone, so yes there will be some crap but you never know there might be something comes out of it.Hate the word 'Celebrity'. A celeb is just someone fortunate to get a good job that other people think is cool and misguided teenagers (plus some young at heart oldies) clamber to see. But why would anyone, other than immediate family, turn out to see a local person that is not labelled a celebrity? Many individuals, from any group eg. Women's Institute; Town Hall; Terrier's football team; Historian etc. etc. deserve the recognition but other than members of their group who would turn out to see them switch on xmas lights. Some would turn out just to see the lights, but only if the lights were brilliant/dazzling etc. etc. A relative of a founder of a Bedlington event/group/building/industry. Only the local historians would turn out. The Bedlington mascot – the dog. Only the dog owner would turn out. What's the biggest body of people in Bedlington? The Schools. What if the Head Teacher from every school in Bedlington nominated a worthy pupil to switch on the lights. So there was one from every school. Would teachers, pupils, family & friends turn out to see a pupil from their school join with pupils from the other schools to collectively switch on the lights. Each pupil holding the spoke of a large pit winding wheel and lowering the hub of the wheel onto the light switch ( I did say I was brain storming). Would that also be a worthy news story – Bedlington Unite School Heroes (BUSH teleghraph) Is it too late to organize anything different for this year? Brain storm subsides. Time for a cup of tea.

Wake up maggie I think I got something to say to you Its late september and I really should be back at WORK I know I keep you amused but I feel Im being used Oh maggie I couldnt have tried any more You lured me away from WORK just to save you from being alone You stole my JOB and that's what really hurt The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age But that DIDN'T worry me none THE POLICE KEPT MOVING ME ON I THREW UP at all of your jokes, my HATE you didn't need to coax Oh, maggie I couldnt have tried any more You lured me away from WORK, just to save you from being alone You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand But you turned into a MOTHER Fxxxxx and Mother what a Fxxxxx , you wore me out All you did was wreck my bed And in the morning kick me in the head Oh maggie I couldnt have tried anymore You lured me away from WORK cause you didn't want to be alone You stole my SOUL, I couldn't BEAR you if I tried I suppose I could collect my DOLE and get on back to school Or steal my daddys cue and make a living out of playing pool Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin hand Oh maggie I wish I'd never seen your face You made a first-class fool out of me But Im as blind as a fool can be You stole my SOUL AND I HATED you anyway Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face Ill get on back home one of these days

Yep, but even a Russian winter looked pleasant compared with the doom and gloom in the UK when the unhitched witch was in power.

'A' pit pond, not deep as we often found out with failed attempts of securing pit props together to make rafts. The pit pond was the first place we learned the craft of fishing, for sticklebacks, with strands of grass and a worm. Discovered by watching the girls making daisy chains! Feed the worm through a split in the the grass. Dangle in pond and when stickleback grabbed the worm yank the grass, and fish, out of the water.

Whilst she was around I was in love with the rest of the world.

I got caught taking a pee in the local swimming pool today. The lifeguard shouted at me so loud, I nearly fell in. *********** I went to the pub last night and saw a fat chick dancing on a table. I said, "Great legs." The girl giggled and said with a smile, "Do you really think so." I said "Definitely! Most tables would have collapsed by now. " ***********

Rafie - my mate Ralph Lowe says his brother is on this photo and he will be seeing him in 3-4 weeks time so should be able to put some names to picture. He also thinks he has seen this one in A Cree Full of Coal, with names.

Done, with pleasure.

Maggie, please excuse my humour but it's too late to change now :- They are best known for the song "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)".

So if it happens will there be a) new car parking area, a new round-a-bout and c) two sets of traffic lights to ensure commuters leaving the station have an equal opportunity to join Ravensworth Street. Over to the planning department for an update.

Is there a trained Bedlington terrier, in Bedlington? Dressed in a red suit one could look the xmas part and spark the Look North headline - Dogged Santa switched to Bedlington.

Really Maggie you should travel 500 miles, or more, to but their CD.Just took Wonky's advice and listened to a few youtube clips and I do enjoy large bands, of any type. Often wondered how Charltons managed to make any money, always been empty when I have been in, during the day. Although I am not a massive folk music groupie I could see Charltons atracting a crowd for this lot (I could see at least 9 of them). More housing, a swinging pub and a quiet beach. If only they had a Cambois Terrie they could sell the place!

I do, thank you.

Malcolm - I cant find the entry that explains why this seat has been commissioned etc. I sent a picture to informed a number of ex Bedlington patriots and a number came back with the question - 'Why?'. Would you update me please. Thank you.

Nev er been a dog person. But always been a Bedlington person. Think it's, simple, 'shareable', in the right place, brilliant. Terriers rule, Ok. Canny Lass so ticipated she may come home. Malcolm - Is it felt-tip pen friendly, easy to clean?

Thank you Symptoms. An email has been made and the pics on their way to NUFC faithful - swings and round-a-bouts, enjoy it whilst it lasts.

My new hero.

I can't believe that they are ignoring the effects of Methane. Phase 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) surely must take into consideration the methane that El Niño will distribute from the Isle of Cows. To illustrate this everone with a greenhouse should fill it with aerosol spray and simultaneously open dorrs and windows to release the concentrates so the 38th CMIP5 model can surely reflect the next 20 year trend. This could really have a devastating effect on the Burnley Rhubarb Triangle. Malcolm, I hope you can sleep at night. I am just off to discuss this with the missess.

I was so disappointed when I heard the news that Paolo was leaving. Hoping they would have kept him there until xmas, or at least another 4 weeks - Liverpool, Man U, Swansea then NUFC. But in the grand design of thinks I suppose another failed manager will be chosen. Pity Mark Hughes isn't available, he could have taken them further down.

Move to a free Scotland where the 'Salmon' will continue to leap freely and their new ideas will be for them selves with no UK or Europe following or tottering.

Theyve got nae bal morales atall atall.
