Keith Scantlebury

ALICE COOPER ----- BILLION DOLLAR BABIES :-0 I thank you,

I was just reminded of something after reading Adams post in the Announcement section Talking to someone recently, I was taken totaly by surprise when he told me what he had been told by someone connected to East Bedlington Parish Council. The man from EBPC had told him that there are rumours that when the "New high school" is built, the existing sports facilities are to be developed into the new Bedlington sports and leisure centre. Can anyone elaborate on this as I have never even heard of any plans to build a new high school, let alone developing a leisure centre from the dregs of the current one. ? It could all be a pie in the sky and just chinese wispers doing the rounds, but there again, there is no smoke without fire and maybe there is a modecum of truth in the rumours. There is also the possibility that it is all true and I have simply heard anything of it

just googled it , he was born in January 1920 . He would have beed 48 when Dads Army started in 1968 and aged 51 when he had a hit with Grandad in 1971

He was only in his early - mid 50's when he played Grandad in the series of the same name, made up to be 20 or 30 years older.

Ha, Brian Yarrow You can have ya ball , it's borst anyway.

Either Brian Yarrows or Benny Andrews horse.

Duran Duran

You still off the fags Malcolm?, just over 2 years for me now (and I still fancy one now and again) but feel better for it

Thinking you might of stuck your hand in your pocket like, Ah well, the rumors areright, Malcolm Robinson is so tight , he only breathes in !!!

Free coffee ?? I'll get me coat

Had to be one of the dirtiest and most unpleasant jobs on a farm . Driving a combine before the introduction of air conditioned cabs

Would that not be Jeff Oliver. I was sure that Keith is older than me so he would have been 2 years above that pic ( maybe wrong) Sandra was in my class, the year above that one. There was a few station kids at the Whitley, Nat Watson as you say and Philip Lawson come to mind straight away. I can still feel the sting on my ass from Matty Hall walloping it with that blackboard ruler of his. I whent to seek Sandra (his daughter) that night and he asked if I was ok, he even seemed to think he over did it. It had a crack in it and it nipped the skin. I left the Whitley in July '67 so I would have been away to Marton when that was taken.

I remember it got pretty well poluted up there in the 70's. Turned out Brentford Nylons were being pretty careless with what they were discharging into the drains and dye was running into the river. Many a good time was spent swimming in the dam

(high school) Stephen Johnson 2nd right, Stephen Surtees, 3rd right, both front row Baz Thomas back left. Is that Gordon Bowron 3rd from left on front row

9" and candle powered ha

Hmmmmmmm, only an old fart could get that one right ...... Marius Goring eh !! who the hell was he. He must have been around when you had to switch your telly on half an hour before you wanted to watch something.

Aye he lived just up the road from me. The families were god friends. There was Jennifer, Stewart and Derek. Did he not move to Ashiton.?

CAN'T WAIT, !!!! I've just shown the wife (couldn't contain my excitement) She reckons I will be spoilt and she told me that when I get back, not to expect such luxury's at home. Ihad better not get to used to the high life in Siberia.

They have all played ....... RASPUTIN.

Yes the Marleys lived at Humford in the house adjoining the baths (house is still there). Keith L. Should also remember Billy and Anne from the Whitley school. Anne was in my class.

Spot on, and heres me thinking that there was something wrong with your observational skills Malcolm

Dunno who they are, is the first one Jaqueline Smith from Charlies Angels?

Rio Ferdinand is to head up a Federation of Black Players Union, if that is not racist, tell me what is. If John Terry was to set up a White only Players Union he would be jailed, simple. The racism rules in this country favour the non whites and the very fact that Rio Ferdinand can get away with something like this proves it. When (or how often) is a complaint of racism upheld in favour of a white indigenous British Citizen? I often wonder if John Terry had made a complaint of racism against a black player it would even get to court. As it happens, he wins his case then the F.A. decide to hold their own "CLOWN COURT" because THEY believe he is guilty. (they had their minds made up before he whent ). Racist behaviour works in all directions, whites can be, and ARE victims too. Ferdinands Union is ressurecting Apartheid divisions

Sherlock Holmes............... They have all played Dr. Watson.
