Mr Darn

your not too far from the truth... apparently you can now buy a collar that sends a shock to the dog if it is misbehaving via remote control. apparently its been tested in the USA on dangerous dogs there, and has been used as dogs attack people to subdue the dog, and is very effective. unfortunatly its not very nice for the dog, and rely's on the owner making sure battery's are charged, buttons are pressed etc... not a method i condone tho...

for anyone interested... Hope you dont mind MissVic

More than i got back....it seems the lad that told me that wasn't full of **it like his pals said!

what was the total bet? as £2 each way would cost you £4 (£2 to win+£2 on 2,3or4th) i'll assume it was a £2 total bet, making it £1 each way. now, since it came third, you win on the £1 each way bet and not the win, which is quarter the odds. so £1 on a 40-1 each way bet that comes third would give you £10, plus your stake, so you should be looking at £11. i may be completly wrong tho, so dont quote me! thats just the way i was told it works, i'm not a betting man as a rule! if it was £2 each way, and total bet was £4, then i would expect £22 back...

Last time i had a good leak in bedlington was on a saturday night, and i got a free room for the privilidge! Like everything tho, some police officers have a sence of humour, some dont....

i seem to be doing ok, what problem you having pete?

oopps! thats still there aint it!(Note to onesself: remove pic as soon as this is posted) Nope, its a pic i use for my msn pic. as is this other one that will be in the BJ's place...

Hmmmn, £43.25 on a 33-1 win with a £1 stake each way? (£1 on 33-1=£33 plus stake=£34 divide by 4 to get 1/4 odds for each way bet=£8.50?) you must have taken some pretty good odds young lady, as i believe the winner started at 30-1! was it 173-1? or am i working this out wrong? Well done that...erm...(wo)man! obviously, keep the £3.25 for housekeeping and we'll see mr hair in the pub later with the rest!

i know, and what if he was a vampire? that would surely be worse!!?!? (like i have room to talk on spellign!)

erm, no, he was curled up in a hole in the wall.... a dirty smelly dark hole in the wall at that!

My my, you were right!and heres me sticking £1 on just in case! Bah!

THEIF!!!!lol, anyways, i was down there today, noticed what looked like a bricked up doorway, but with some of the bricks taken down... i went and had a look, but as i neared, the dog started growling... i went further, looked over the wall, and there was a bloke curled up snooring with empty cans all around him. i hastilly retreated!

£2.50 for the dodgems!

its ok, i just scrolled down and saw the place you do it....i was clicking the 'insert picture' icon hehe

does it have to be pics loaded from elsewhere? or can you add them from your harddrive? just when i click the 'upload picture' it gives me a prompt for a web address instead of the usual browse button...

i dont disagree with horseracing, i dissagree with the kicking and the whip. i think someone should whip and kick the jockys twice for each time they do it to the horse.. bet it wouls soon stop!

Yup, its still there!

For those that are interested, if i'm not mistaken, it is very similer to the one on That online auction site that is in no way as good as Free Bedlington.co.uk Classifieds item no: 130099148271 am i right missvic?

Gallerys? Tell me more!

Not me, i do my shopping at Netto and ASDA.

No, i shouldnt. Online shopping has evolved because todays working class individual has not got the time to go to the local markets, as their at work when their on. if women did not work, then they could go to the markets, and they would be buisier. now its just dole wallers and old people that go there, with the exeption of a few that dont work thursdays daytime... where's the money in that? the dole wallers have nowt to spend, and the old dears cant carry much! its the old dears with cars and the ones that dont work thursdays that keep the market alive!

Bedlington Market used to be huge, the trouble was shops like somerfield, asda and tesco have priced the market stalls out of buisness. Very few people actually do their shopping at the market now, which is a shame considering the heritage. i blame womens rights....if you buggers diddnt go out to work and let us men earn the crust, you would have more time to shop at the local markets, instead of 'online shopping' and superstores. BRING BACK THE CORNER SHOP! i know the one up my way (near red house farm) used to be packed with goods, and if he diddnt have it, he got it for you for the next day, even had an off licence erm, licence, and if i remember right, rented videos! now its a pokey little shop run by an old woman with dirty nails (i speak as i find!) with hardly anything in it. Damn Shame it is too!

Obviously not french then (ooooooOOOOOOOOOoooooo!!!) i passed the market today too, and i too was impressed by the turnout. we should do more to bring the people of bedlington back onto our front street. Any ideas folks?

I'm sorry, but as a dog owner i feel it is my personal responsibility to make sure everyone is safe from her. if she bites anyone, i would expect to have blame bestowed upon me, unless of course the dog is defending me, my family, my property or itsself. and even if it was defending its self, i would still expect nothing more than a growl and for her to run away, rather than attack another living soul. My opinion is, the owner is responsible for a ) keeping the dog under control b ) educating the child on the importance of not opening the door and letting said dog out c ) ensuring the dog is not violent, and if it is, either have it re-trained or put down. It is also my personal opinion that if any of my pets shows aggression to a human, unless prevoked, that that animal will be put to sleep without delay. who knows what it might attack next! Anyone else got an opinion?

I think its just to waste money for the end of year count...or it could be new engineers doing a trial run for their diploma, i have seen that before...
