Mr Darn

that topic is so old even me great great granda was talking about it! Yes, it is, and it will always be the same as long as we lie down and take it to put it simple bedlington is to small to warrant such a feature as there would be no one actually turning up to use it! You have a point, but i seem to remember us having a pool once over, and it being popular! plus if you need a sports centre the high school at the station is full fitted out and available for booking! With what? i've never heard of any facility's been offered there, and i have certainly never seen a price list! Why is this not more publicised? and blyth is only a short bus trip as is morpeth and ashington and newbiggin. Have you SEEN the bus prices lately? it costs me £88 a month just to get from bedlington to ASDA and back 20 times. No way would i be able to afford the extra few miles on a daily basis if i was not already traveling it for work. As it is, i get weekly tickets, so this isn't an isue for me, but for everyone else, £88 a month to use a sports center is not viable. so your stern letter will be falling on def ears! Possibly, but this will not deter me. Me shouting by myself will, as you suggest, be a waste of time. i hope theres more than me out there who are outraged!. Dont get me wrong, i'm not gunning for just a sports center, i just want the money to be spent on enhancing bedlington, as promised. anyway i could think up a thousand more useful uses of the cash than a rubbish sports centre none of you would actually use Excelent! Lets hear them! Some may even be considered if enough people get behind them! (be honest when was the last time you where at a sports centre) Today. i go for an hour per day, 5 days a week before i go to meet my better half. Blyth has an adult swim session between 7.30 and 10am weekdays, and 9am till10am sat and sun. But, Yes, i'm in the minority, and again see your point why not create somewhere for the chavs to try and destroy like a cast iron bushshelter with built in speaker with attachments for mobile phones so they can play tha chava music! and smoke tha tabs and drink white lightning. Shame, you started off well there, then spoilt yourself, in my opinion. Somewhere for the groups of kids to go HAS to be a priority. I for one, am sick of going to lloyds cash machine and being surrounded by kids on bikes as i take cash out. surely some part of the £500,000 could go on bedlingtons future, as at the moment, without anything for them to do, i fear the money will be spent on another wing of cells for the police station, to house them once they are out of control! Of course, my comments are not directed in Monsta's general direction, but as my answers to legitamate questions. Thankyou for bringing them up Monsta! Lets get this debated!!

I totally agree! I KNEW this money would be syphoned off somehow! Its a bloody disgrace, and we ALL should do something about it! I for one will be writing a stern letter.

nice one claire! It seems they've finnished the trial up here, and have moved on. Shame, it was a handy number!

Nice one!

Thats it? thats all it does?

Why would you want to 'chip' a games console? does it improve performance or something?

An excellent, informed review from someone who's actually used the product. Nice Job! just a sub-note tho: We can find horror stories about every program on the internet. Even Anti-Virus (ALL anti-virus!) can cause catastrophic results. its well documented on the web. Every program has had its glitches. My experience if Ccleaner is flawless if you stay away from the SEPARATE registry cleaning side, but then i don't recommend ANY registry cleaners. But, each to their own experiences! Was that situation one which you were personally involved with?

It was only ever placed as a temporary measure to see if it would prove popular. I guess we'll see in the coming months if its rolled out....

Excelent! i never realised you could use it for that! Do you know what else it was for?

There are rumours in every town and village. Different takes on all situations. I'm assuming this one has had a personal effect on you, hence your enthusiasm on the subject! Since you have such a strong opinion on the matter, Sparkie, Why not make yourself a member here and take part in some of the other discussions were having on the other parts of the forum?

For those of you that did not know, a while ago, the police trialled a new number for use when reporting minor crimes, to attempt to free up the 999 service number. This could be from youth's congregating in the street and noise pollution, to minor thefts which immediate responses were not required. Did anyone have any experience of this service? and what did you think of it?

I'm all biked up now MrsVic, Thanks for asking! Its just a BS Halfords jobbie, but was cheep! (since Halfords now have bikes in that were £200, but now £85!! {Quality issues??}) Saves me £22 a week (or £88 per pay) for bus tickets tho! so paid for itsself nearly 3 times over by this time next month! (and i get to spend it on beloved alcohol, as i'm now excersising(?) enough to work it of a little!!) I just have to hope the little toerags dont pinch it now! although, to be fair, they'll probably feel sorry for me and leave me a new one in its place! :D

I'm an R6 kinda guy. Will have one as soon as i save... i dont do credit

I moved the posts because it became a discussion, where is was supposed to be a review. I gave a review of a product i use. I take it you don't even use the product, so you have no grounds for comment, as far as i can see. But, you have an opinion, so the discussion was moved to the correct place for this to take place. The fact the posts have to be approved is neither here nor there. the only thing that wont be approved is posts from guests that need it. Any posts from a member will be approved, so long as its within the rules, even if i don't agree with it. Feel free to do your own review.

By just about every computer helpsite on the internet. People who have made it their business to clean peoples computers of viruses and malware use this program on a daily basis. A previous version of this program did, yes. But it put in place a way of restoring it. I've had 0 problems with the latest versions. As for your other statment: You then go on to recommend other programs that do the same thing, but for a fee. do YOU know what these programs are doing? Just because you have to pay for a program, that does not automatically make it a better product.

All the times i've used it, and i use it alot, on many different machines, i've only had one problem with it. Using the registry cleaner, it removed an entry that an Acer laptop needed, and i needed to restore from the backup. This was fixed in the next update tho, so no problems since. Trying to explain to someone how to do basic cleanups over the phone when you cant see what they are doing is hard work. Having ccleaner installed saved ALL that hastle. Hence why i recommend it!

Hence why i said not to use the registry section. The cleaner does a marvelous job tho. is there anything you actually like?

:D

"I KNOW platform 9 3/4 is around here SOMEWHERE!!!"

A while ago, on another forum, far, far, away...... Ahem, We had a Picture Caption game that was a big hit. Lets see if we can do the same with the idea here: THE IDEA Someone posts a picture. We all try to come up with the funniest caption we can think of. Remember, forum rules still apply! so think twice before adding swearing etc! Potential Problems Photo's could be removed from locations, or outside linking could be disabled Answer's could get confused as extra photos put on the same thread People could be warned for inappropriate posts Plus others, which i'll add to later. Solutions Host your own photos on a FREE photobucket account. if this takes off like it did before, we can have seperate threads for each photo This is down to yourselves, but we solved it by having the game on a passworded sub-forum. in this forum you could say what you liked, as it was hidden from view. It could be an option, if popular and its demanded If anyone has other ideas, let me or another moderator know. Next post will be my first picture, we'll keep it to 1 thread for now. PLEASE think about your answers! I dont want people getting into trouble because of this!

Ccleaner is a product i've been using for years now, but first the bad points: It comes bundled with the "yahoo" toolbar the registry cleaner section is iffy at best and should not be used unless you understand the results, and back-up the registry first! it puts a desktop icon, a quick launch icon and 2 entries into your right-click menu of the recycle bin but, some good points: all of the above bad points can be avoided Yahoo installation can be unticked during setup you can customise what is used with regards icons and right click menus you can simply not use the registry feature. i personally just enable 'check for updates' and 'put ''open ccleaner'' into the recycle bin right click menu' What this program does, is clean all your unwanted files from your computer that can build up over the years. What, exactly, it cleans, can be changed via the left hand side menu, ranging from just cleaning out temp files and cookies, to erasing saved passwords and autocomplete info, as well as browser history and other items you wouldn't have even known were building up before. this program also has a handy tools section, enabling you to uninstall programs that windows sometimes cant, and edit your startup items for a sleaker startup. i HIGHLY recommend this program for inclusion in your periodical pc maintenance. You can download ccleaner from www.ccleaner.com Note, there is a paypal button, but it is free to download and use, using the filehippo link below the paypal buttons. a direct link is available to the latest download by clicking HERE Product Rating: (5 Terriers) It would have been six, had it not had the registry cleaning part.

Nice one allan! i bet that was heavy on the juice!

I'm saddened by this. Once over, a pub in a location like that (surrounded by houses and alone) would have done very well! It's a damn shame.
