You're right about Matty Hall Andy, the thing is he was, and possibly still is a smashing fella. If he is still with us, he will be in is 80's perhaps someone knows. He never held a grudge with any of the kids and he encouraged all of us to do well

B.t.w. still cant edit

Andy youre on hols aren't you [you have more breaks than a fracture clinic] well leave comp alone, busmans holiday? :whistle: Foxy, you started it

beyond help

What about Matty Hall at the Whitley, he had the swing of that blackboard ruler mastered to a fine art. There was a crack in it and it would open up and nip ya ass. I was a regular recipient and a few of my mates still talk about one particular hiding I got. Had that been today, Matty Hall would have been locked up. I used to knock about with his daughter Sandra and that night I whent to his house on Church Lane , he must have thought that wallop was a bit excessive by the way he kept asking if my backside was ok and would I be fit enought to sit at my desk the next day.

icle

must just be me then

tried to make a slight change to the above, still not working. Do I get a special award for ballsing it up?

LOOK GGGG, I am fick them questions are hard, but I will try internet explorer Windows 7 pressed ctrl+f5 ................... screen just got brighter.... unlike me

still wont work. typed in the words "will try" posted it then clicked edit button and added "did it work", pressed save changes nothing happened, then when I returned to thread , the original post was gone as well

will try

will try just trying to edit (Cympil)

clicked the edit button, changed the word moderator to avatar, clicked saved changes button and notthing happened, Did all this immediately after posting as I realised the mistake so nobody had the chance to read it .

The edit facility seems to be not working , I realised a mistake straight away with the above post and tried to replace the word moderator with avatar and it did not work.......... maybe I broke it , oops Edit: This is 4G logged in as Keith editing

just looked, it says " This post needs approval from a moderator before this post is shown". in a green strip next to moderator

Just realised , Malcolms avatar is blank, gggg ok , foxy ok , ggg blank, thats on this thread. But there again I could be doing summat wrong 'cos a is fick.

I agree with Foxy. Every time I posted on there I had to wait for approval. I am signed in all the time.

Gala day. All the kids who's dads were at Netherton pit were taken to Whitley Bay for the day. The pit buses [bedlington and District Coaches, remember them] were mucked out and washed, we all piled on and headed for Whitley Bay. The kids all got a toy and a goody bag, we spent the day on the beach and in the Spanish City. On the way back, the kids that were'nt asleep, were throwing up 'cos they had too many toffee apples and candy floss

Oops, well I was a bit slow there Merlin. You can probably get all of that in one stop cos they're that close together

Well theres not a lot to stop for is there?

I don't think the outside of that pub has been looked after properly since Pub Master took over from Vaux. Just ask Mick, the landlord. If you look nearly all the window frames are rotten as well.

There was a young man from Kent, Who's **** was extremely bent, To save him some trouble. He put it in double, So instead of coming he went.

A cows foot, just a shame it was still attached to a live cow and landed in my gob at 100mph
