    3D Tv's

    Don't be fooled, LED tv's are LCD tvs. The correct difference between the two is the backlighting. Both have LCD displays. What you have is 2 different LCD tv's to choose from in essence, A Florescent lit LCD tvA LED lit LCD tv At the same time, LED technology is far out preforming florescent technology, especially in the black areas of the picture, so your friends are right, go for the LCD. Some good reading, if your interested in the argument: http://www.lcdtvbuyi...led-vs-lcd.html Swaying back on-topic slightly, the Guardian agree's with my opinion somewhat: http://www.guardian....logy-television

    3D Tv's

    My guess, just like DVD, flat screens, LCD, Plasma Recordable DVD's and every other piece of new technology, it'll take a while before its really worth it. HD has been around for a while now, but its only just now that the standard is being adopted... Personally, i'm gonna go with HD for now, and wait and see what happens with 3D. If you've had HD for a while now, and like new toys, then its worth trying out for you.
  4. I got caught on the A19 near middlesborugh in a car i scrapped 7 years ago!
  5. Very sad news. Another good man gone. Our thoughts are with his family. Have a good Journey Joe! X
  6. RE: Raisbeck busses, i remember there being 2 orange ones, then they bought a brans spanking white one (As pictured) to take over the general timetable, and the orange ones being used for the school runs up to Bedlington station and back at the relevant times.
  7. Finally! We agree on something!
  8. Cut out all the [bleep] and whining, and we may be able to save about 100 of those as actual good content! Mind, do the same to mine and you'd have to welcome me as a new member again!
  9. It goes without saying, but i'll say it anyway! Get well soon Joe! One of lifes Gentlemen!
  10. I've said it before and i'll say it again. If there is not a full choice, then theres no choice at all. Its like a choice of Stella, Carling, Fosters or Carlsberg, when all you want is a decent pint of Guinness. Bring in a "None of the above" vote on the ballot paper, see what comes of it... ...It wont help elect anyone, but it'll send a clear message to the commons that were not happy with the current choice, and we as a people demand better!
  11. Good to see your still reading the topic before posting to it Merlin As for why, i have heard that Louise and her brother are on the papers, but the plan was for Louise and her Husband to actually do the day to day running of it. Now, sadly, Louise's husband has passed away, and running a pub alone with 4 (?) children running round her feet is not quite working out. Its a nice little pub, but the lack of a good ammount of parking means it'll always just be, just a nice little pub. Its a shame, because 99% of the current regulars seem really canny people!

    Guess Where

    yeah... i noticed after it was posted! lol

    Guess Where

    Not that far away!
  14. I believe it is either Bedlington Juniors, or Bedlington Terrier Juniors... i dont know if there is a difference, or if they are 2 seperate teams, but its whichever the landlady's son plays for.
  15. The draw is metered by the number of tickets sold on the book. Each book contains 1000 tickets, so providing an income of £1000 per book. A simple equasion will reveal that the number of tickets sold, cross referenced with the £30 paid out each week regardless will reveal a quite low profit margin. £40 worth of tickets sold only reveals a £10 profit, and that goes to the local boys football team. (i'd say which but i'm not certain which it is!) The £70 is simply a total of 7 weeks without successfull box opening, at £10 a week. With an average of 40 tickets sold per week, and 16 keys to choose from at the begining, its not that profitable, with approx 25% of ticket sales going to the benificiary, and the rest paid out to winners. Of course, should more than £40 worth of tickets be sold, the only thing that benifits is the Footballers. What would a call to trading standards do? And the beer sales? Dont make me laugh!

    Guess Where

    next to where the crows nest??? I got the "wades farm" bit, but did not have a clue where that was!
  17. Because then there would be a result for how many people want to vote, but just dont like the choices. Then the "no vote" figure would actually represent the section of people who just dont vote, rather than a mix of the two. I personally think this option is not there, because it would show just how people are thinking.Were not happy with the choices put forward, and should have a way to show this. Its like having the choice between dying by electricution. the needle, hanging, or stay at home and starve. Not much of a choice at all really!

    Guess Where

    Still no idea! Is it in bedlington itsself or on the outskirts?
  19. I totally agree. I'd like to see a "none of the above" added to the ballot papers. What a storm that would brew!
