Sonic boom, according to Look North. We heard it here.

Read the above very carefully Brian, it says in spirit, it does not involve the consumption of distilled liquer (mores the pity)

Should have known you would stretch it out

It 1OO years this year since Bedlington Stn first scool first opened its doors and it is still going strong. My 5 year old grandaughter brought a letter home which appeals for any old photograghs and memories. Can anyone help? You can post memories etc. on here or to the school on bedlingtonstationfs@me.com scan0001.pdf

Richard Branston has come out and said that there are no plans for Virgin Money to buy the re-naming rights to the stadium. They are sticking with the shirt sponsorship for the time being.

Has anybody else noticed that the pundits on MOTD and Football Focus, as well as comentators and (some) newspaper columnists are still referring to Newcastle Utd's ground as St James' park ?

errrr whats broadband?

Best thing is to bring him to Bedlington next September and show him. Leek show Mondays (broth day) should still be the unofficial Bank Holidays

Brilliant intro Paul and welcome to the Forum. Hope to see you promote the book in Bedlington.

Totally agree, the roe from cod is very tasty indeed, as indeed is the meat from a roe deer

Absolutely, even then it was well into the summer before it really dried out. I can remember talking to the contractor who was doing the groundworks when they were building the new houses below the heaps, on the land just over the railway lines. They were having a hell of a job getting the place drained. The old clay field drains were full of crap from the heap.

While I was at college in the mid '70's (Kirkley Hall) I used to milk the cows at weekends for the Coatsworth family at Sleeburn cottage farm for extra money. We used to find allsorts in the feilds towards the old pit. The burn used to turn some funny colours as well. The cows would often have foot problems from sharp objects coming to the surface. The drainage was terrible on both sides of the road. The fields on the opposite side suffered run off from the heap. The only time that I remember that farm being completely dry for any legnth of time was in 1976. That farm is of course now the livery stables

Exactly ..... who put that in Scunthorpe ?

Answer to question 2 should read Mt Rushmore (not McKinley)

LANGUAGE SIR, LANGUAGE !!!!

Well, I called in today at 12 o'clock. The wife and I wandered around for 10 mins or so then left. Why did we not buy anything ? Not only were we the only customers, we were the only ones in there. There was not one single stall manned, not even the snack counter. We whent across the road to the butchers (we were in there for a while because the wife can talk a glass eye to sleep). After leaving the butchers I whent back across to the market, still no-one manning their stalls, that was 12:45, so again I got what I wanted at Sonias. I did pick up a copy of the market survey to fill in but to be honest I don't think there is even any point in filling it in. When I looked in after leaving the butchers there were some customers leaving (via Keenlysides shop) and I overheard one of them saying that, that was a complete waste of time . Frankly, I agree.
