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.

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

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

I made reference to this speach not so very long ago Merlin in relation to the recent riots. Enoch Powell was spot on with his own predictions and only doing his job as a member of parliament in voicing the views and experiences of his constituants, this , after all is what he was paid to do. They say that "hindsight is a fools wisdom". It turns out that, in this case, the fools are those who ignored the words and predictions of Mr. Powell and derided his views, and those of his constituants as being hateful and racist. Enoch Powell lived a long and (often) colourful life, (into his nineties I believe), it is just a shame that he is not with us to this day so that he could stick two proverbial fingers up to those who mocked him and badgered him to retract his well publicised views. I think that if his views and predictions had been taken to heed and acted upon positively, we may well be refering to him as LORD Powell, the man who saved Britain from its own generocity. No forward thinking nation, in this day and age , will have a totally indigenous population, but, the people who are indigenous to a country (in this case Great Britain) should, BY FAR, outnumber the ammount of immigrants,(legal OR illegal) and their families. A number of years ago I had an application to emigrate to Canada refused on the grounds that the job that I was offered could be offered to and filled by a native Canadian (had I stuck with the application and appealed I may have succeeded), if the same rules had been in place in this country, and adhered to, I dont think that we would even be having this discussion or refering to a speech controversially made more than 40 years ago and thinking "if only we had listened" and "if only we had acted upon it". I do not think that Enoch Powell was a racist or a bigot, I just think he was a man who suggested that this country should first and formost look after itself and those who are native to it and not fill it with freeloaders and cheap labour from other countries, wether they come from those countries within the British Commonwealth or not. We have long since ceased to be the "land of hope and glory", but does that deter the deluge of unwanted immigrants looking for a better life at the expence of the DWP and the british taxpayer? I think not.
