Mr Darn

I believe Raisbeck recieved a nice offer from whats now arriva for the rights to the route. Possibly about 15 years ago now! at least 10 anyways! Does Mr Raisbeck still have ties to the Monkey? (Barrington Arms)

AHHHHHHHHHH "The Tank!" or the Tankerville it may have been called. My Mum remembers it well.

so were talking after the top club, but before choppington? nearer bedlington or choppington? i remember their used to be a petrol station on the right as you left bedlington, was it past that too?

Hint, My signature advertises my website

isnt that why the netto building is built on piles?

was that what it was? i was told it was the west mine that had collapsed under the weight of it.

Pub at the top of the hill opposite the wharton was the top club, but it burned down. they built another at the bottom of the hill and built flats on the old site. now the top club is on the front street as the new building subsided. thats a Netto now, and the bingo hall is a gym!

according to my mum it goes thru years of change then repeats every 10 years or so the 'next generation' deemed it too 'uncool' to drink in the places their parents used to drink, so as the older gen filtered into the clubs for a cheep pint, the younger ones went to the big cities. now the even younger generation feel they dont want to go where their parents are, and have started re-populating the local boozers, who are so desperate for the trade they look the other way at the age. well, thats what she thinks anyway..

For Petes Sake!!! (hehe) i dunno why i changed, just fancied it, everyone else was so i jumped on the bandwaggon!

thats the one

Mr Darn is now Mr Oblivious, and mong'0' is now Mr Darn (thats mongo with a zero)

I believe she's on her jollies

1-1, Newcastle behind till a late equiliser.

I have used it once in at least the last 5 years... one day when i got caught in the rain. Thing was, after 5 minutes of a downpour it was an inch underwater!

I'm not sure how many of you know him, but the news of the death of the Wharton Arms landlord has stunned the pub. Brian Young, died in hospital on sunday. His funeral will take place on Tuesday. I had the pleasure of knowing Brian personally, and he is already missed.

Asked my dad, he dont know any of them, but it was '66 before he moved to that pit. I'll show my uncle, see if he knows any. Apparently you are correct about the clubs name tho..

Guinness???? <---digs out a photo...

Anyone could make up a theory, Showing the proof is another matter. I however, dont believe she was abducted.

It still exists!! ...but only in our hearts... The only place in 100 square miles that could have been turned upside down and everyone could walk on the ceiling! i miss those carpets!

Not me! no way your geting my mug on this site with my approval!!! trust me, it'll save you thousands in counciling!

If you do have to 'pay as you throw' people will simply stop throwing as much in the bin. this will only lead to more rubbish dumped, and more litter on the streets.

The hairpin side is quite good, if i remember right, its the bedlington side, when you cross the bridge and go up the hill its a little lumpy!

Bah, i'm hungry now! whats the grub like at football matches nowerdays? its been years since i went to a 'big club' game, in fact i think it was an arsenal game about 10 years ago when i was working in london... ...the pies were luuuuurvely!!!
