Lassie come home

If its next door to the graveyard it could have been in what became the school field. So chances are, the new Vicarage will be built over it.

Bond films?

Its Jim Bowen ....... nowt like a bit of bully

Champions

They would find me being flogged and booted out of town

We whent to see Runrig some years ago at the Sands Centre in Carlisle. The support band was Cappercallie (spelling?) they were brilliant. Couldn't understand a word they were bloody singing like, but thoroughly enjoyed them.

well if they had been kicked out of a housing association / council house for criminal activity or anti social behaviour it would be easily checked .

Was the Hirst Head Farm Wade's ? If it was the ploughman in the picture could be a Wade , or one someone who worked for them

Really the front st hasn't changed that much over the years, in so much that it is instantly recognisable.

Surely not John. Looks nowt like the place.

Symptoms, if you promise not to tell anyone, I'll let you into a secret, shhhhhh come closer she can drive, really. I WAS ONLY JOKING. ................ Ha ha

Thats what I was trying to say Malcolm, thanks.

I think I lay my neck on the line quite regularly Maggie, many a wife would not have been as long suffering as mine, thats for sure. I would rather an argument be defused by a joke, gallows humor or not, than for it to fester. Ah what the hell, life on the edge can be exhilerating sometimes.

Bernicia is a social landlord Symptoms. Previously called Wansbeck Homes, they took over the housing stock from Wansbeck District Council. I dont think they are the only social landlord who check out their housing applicants to make sure they are suitable.

Joke ? Typo ? hmmmmmm. Most protesters dont end up in jail - on more than one occasion as well. Most protesters do not endanger lives (there have been other occasions like Brightlingsea ) this particular woman did both

Cheers Brett, I kept it away from facebook prior to the first meeting simply because the group is only open to those living in Burnside, Moorland Cottages and Thomas Holliday Homes.

Any new applicants for a house are checked out. The house will only be allocated to suitable families, ie for amount of bedrooms etc. Applicants who have been involved with serious crimes or evicted from properties for criminal activity and anti-social behaviour will find it difficult to get a house from Bernicia.

Time will tell folks. I think once people realise they will be getting something out of it, they will show a little more willing. Its a case of working together and meeting each other half way rather than instilling a "them and us " attitude. You only get out what you put in, as they say. There is plenty of help on offer and if we use it wisely, there is absolutely no reason why we cannot be successfull. Bernicia had the flyers printed for us (I produced them) they printed the copiesof the constitution (saved my ink) and they are making all new tenants aware of the group. They are also vetting all new applicants as to their suitability, police checks, previous tenancies etc. Malcolm did say a short while ago, that if we got this going, we would be flavour of the month and it seems he is right.

I have had one of these for years (too many to recall) It seems that they are so expensive now, the only way that most people can have access to one, is to hire one. (until now, check this place out)
