Bedlington Bungee Jump
Me too, but i once heard someone say "do one thing each day that scares you" these days its used up when i look in the mirror first thing in the morning, but i used to do things like drive right to the top of the multi storey car parks etc, just to get that adrenaline rush. now they dont bother me that much, i can even look over the edge, for a minute or so anyway ! i think its more a fear of falling with me, rather than the height, coz i'm fine on a plane...

I See We Have A New Mod?
Why thankyou Mr(s) Blank ! as for the moderating being fair... thats what the PM function is there for, just let either 3G or 4G know if you think something is unfair, that is if you think we are too unaproachable. My personal opinion is this tho: if you do have a problem with me, talk to me via PM first, if you get no joy, PM another mod...still no joy, then maybe a topic is due. i think some of the topics relating to the moderation on here could do with being kept indoors before being made public, but thats just my opinion !

Bedlington Bungee Jump
No Way! i'm the type of person that will try anything once....and i have tried a fair few things ! my experience of bungee jumping was at the hirst high crain jump about 10 years ago? well, it was one of those body harness ones, where you go feet first...tame, i know, but they wouldnt let us go via the legs. well, i got all strapped up, lifted up and did the whole 3-2-1 GO! thing, jumped...filled my underwear...came within feet of the floor (it seamed like it anyway) then returned most of the way back up. Great experience!...until...the rope looped as the slack was removed. this loop went over my head, and luckily only went as far as my eye level before it tightened again, leaving 2 nasty friction burns on my forehead. i was later told the normal procedure is to let the rope unravel every 5 jumps, but this had not been done as it was nearing the end of the session. the last few jumpers had twisted round a few times more than usual, creating the effect i experienced. my money was refunded as a 'sorry', and thinking back, they got away with it lightly! had that rope gone round my neck.... Anyway...i wont be partaking this year ! Anyone else?

I See We Have A New Mod?
the signature was removed because a complaint had been made. it would seem the complaint has been reviewed, and the signature returned. All complaints are tret seriously by the moderating team, and action is taken as appropriate. i completly agree with you, but then again, i have no idea what 'BNP' is ! To be frank, i think the moderating is settling to a point where both the moderators and the members are in sinc... almost ! you have to remember, both myself and missvic are fairly new to the job, and we are trying our best. perhaps decisions made in the past were a bit harsh and maybe they will be in the future, i'm sure i'll make a few mistakes myself, but its all a learning curve, and we are trying to improve everyones experience of this site. the main thing is, the complaint was delt with, and monsta has his signature back. no real harm done eh?

Yup, Lau's buffet king ! Hint: keep away from the rice and noodles, they only fill you for an hour or so, tuck into the ckicken and spare ribs...the meat will keep the hunger at bay ! i recomend the lemon chicken, and i know, i know, this is disgusting, but i like it; potato croquettes and sweet and sour sauce !" mmmMMMmmmMMMmmmm

Whats Your Favourite Chinese Takeaway*
getting back to the topic, my favorite chinese takeaway is lau's on stowell street, the roast duck on an afternoon is to die for. in bedlington? dont go to many, but the one between paramount and dopey micks is the one i go to. not tried bens, is that the one just up from the northumberland?

Whats Your Favourite Chinese Takeaway*
My personal opinion is: i dont agree with food being called '!*!@# ', just as i dont like 'charlies shop' to be refered to as 'the !*!@#'s' although i do occasionally say that phrase myself. it is chinese food, and i can see offense taken by that other discription, however, i have never heard of english food described any other way other than 'english food', nor would i take offence at it. i mean, when i worked in london, and asked the local supermarket if they had any pease pudding, they looked at me funny, and i heared someone say 'thats geordie rubbish that, cant get it here', but i was a long way from being offended by it, more ammused than anything! so, while i understand offence is taken by these people at times, i do not understand why. it was just told to me, by someone i respected, that it was wrong to say such things so i try not to ! Daft really !

that wont work either, their not worth the paper their written on. to get a waiver worth its salt you need to apply each case in court on an individual basis. if your practicing something dangerous then the organiser of that event is liable for your safety, waiver signed or not.- Tidal Generators
i'm sure it was mentioned that this was going to be part and parcel of the power stations development. build the power station first then experement with the river. the power of the river is/was enough to power flour mills, why not generators? i'm sure they can do it. its a shame they cant develop this 'earths magnetic field' theory they have come up with for wirelessly charging mobiles, laptops etc- Tidal Generators
Well, since becoming a delivery driver for a local supermarket (i'd say which one but ASDA's strict security policy wont let me !) i meet a lot of people who otherwise dont have much human contact, one of which enjoys trawling the internet. I've also heared that they want to install smaller versions along the peir edges to cultivate the river flow, as that only stands still for a few hours a day in this place, as the tide flows in, and the fresh water flows out.- Britain's Got Talent
