Martin Stephenson has a very relevant track called 'left us to burn' about Maggie Thatcher.

I wonder if anyone can flag it up.

I have failed sorry.

He is a Mackem apologies to some of you.

He is a Mackem apologies to some of you............ Jeez !!! so ya should be Maggie

Wonky might have a good point about raffling the Xmas lights. It would be publicity and raise money for some worthy project or cause - in Bedlington - but what cause that would be is debatable. Either that or get Bedlington's most elderly citizen to turn it on.

BUT PLEASE, NO POXY CELEB'.

Yup they are talking of opening the Blyth &Tyne line up again to Ashington and re-open Bedlington Station . Mind you I will believe it when it is actually open .

Keith wrote: "...and eventually by rail ...". Does this mean that there are plans to regularly send a passenger service through B/Station?

Some clown decided to smash Clayton windows with a hammer a couple of hours after he had been thrown out in the new year. They had only just been put in a few weeks earlier as well.

Jakes not owned by the person I was told owned it . If and when the railway station is re-opened it will be interesting to see if the owners of the Clayton are told to get it sorted once and for all. Every visitor to Bedlington Station by car, bus, on foot and eventually by rail sees the Clayton and the state it is in.

And suitably impressed I was too !!! (even though it wobbled) wouldn't mind one for me garden Malcolm

I am much more looking forward to Armageddon . I would rather sit in the middle of the A1 at the bottom of the Felton by-pass (death valley), sticking hot pins in my eyeballs than watch Aussie egg chasers run themselves ragged on a hot day. Now you enjoy it Brian, take plenty of pro-plus with your hot milk to keep yourself awake :dribble:

I recently visited my doc (not a witch doctor Keefy) he told me no more that 1 beer a day so i complied with his instructions

it's this .............http://www.demotivateur.fr/video-drole

At least Jakes is empty and derelict ....... the Clayton LOOKS derelict and is still trading !!!!

.......... So are you gonna tell us what it is then ?

The place is a bloody disgrace. I have an idea who owns it as I had heard that he bought it in the summer and he was planning to start work on it asap but little or nothing has been done. Someone I know parked her car outside there on Wednesday and some debris fell off Jakes and hit her, car, damaging it. It narrowly missed a lady walking by with a child.

When I see him Ill ask him if it is true that he now owns Jakes and if he does, what he is going to do with the place. Personally I think the place should now be flattened.

Malcolm, or some of his colleagues on WBTC, will probably know better, but I think the planning rules for change of use for commercial premises were relaxed this summer. I believe you can just go ahead change the use without permission now.

I think its a trap. We will gather in the market place and we will all be abducted by Aliens and transported to a far off planet (Ashington) where we will be set free to be hunted down and eaten by the natives .

if she's a cleaner at the Clayton she wants sacked !!! she's crap at doing windows

there was a distinct shortage nearer bonfire night

...... and ??

funny ? noooooooooooo Brian I cant wait for your report on the grand fin................. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I had a quick look in last night. I was well impressed. Didn't think I would say that after what I said about the Percy's demise. The place looks fantastic (inside and out) The prices seem very reasonable with lunchtime and early evening specials. I'm going to give it a try sometime and there are even noises from the residents group that we should have a meal there together. People that I have spoken to who went to the opening night , last Thursday 26th said the food was spot on, a couple of waiters who couldn't count money, but there you go , nothing is perfect !

I'm off to Ziggie's Den of Iniquity for a Pangalactic Gargle Blaster never mind your sloe gin and elderflower wines!

Have they got leccy in that part of Bedlington like ? sheeeesh, talk about being affluent, they're on it like a car bonnet

Rossini's Italian restaurant.

And that's nowt like a little light reading...........boom boom.

Possibly..........Polystichum Munitum?

easy for you to say

MEN , KITCHEN !!!!! . Do all houses have these ? ( A kitchen that is ) I sometimes see the wife disappear into another room and come out again with cooked food. Could a mystery be solved here ?
