    in ages past if a race swarmed over to another country this was classed an 

    invasion! 

    only the white man today is a soft tetty heeded idiot! 

    kick them out now is the view of those who have not been blinded by there

     devious ways!  

    first it was are corner shops tomorrow its are country!

  6. The Real Scandal

    in Talk of the Town

    Posted

    Never mind old Darn's controversial Sunday Trading shocker, here's a political hot potato so scandalous it'll blow your socks off.

    I refer, of course, to the street signs along Rothesay Terrace.

    I am sure you are all aware of the thoroughfare in question. Working in conjunction with Victoria Terrace, it acts a kind of metaphorical perineum, linking the festering Station to the vibrant, thrusting Top End.

    The signs at the top and bottom of this road are free of all criticism. Correctly spelled, neatly positioned, well maintained. A credit to the signmaker who crafted them.

    However, the two in between are a ruddy disgrace. They only say "Rothsay Terrace"!

    Rothsay? I ask you, is this what those bums at the Council choose to spend my tax dollars on?

    This is an outrage. Harrumph harrumph harrumph.

    Indeed.........chumps!! :rolleyes:

    I believe the moderators are doing an excellent job, the language has been toned down and the discussions are becoming interesting, in the past I would think twice before posting a question or an answer but now do not hesitate.

    I enjoy the banter between the regulars but feel I have very little to contribute (Bedlington is my wife's birthplace I'm from Bl..h!)

    I lived in Bedlington for several years, I was Married in St Cuthbert's, kids went to school in Bedlington, I really like the photographs of the area.

    Keep up the good work!

    Vic

    Do not mention that horrid place....... :rolleyes:

  10. Mr Darns Second Rant

    in Chat Central

    Posted

    I am certainly not going to go off on one, but i will make this point:

    i come here to catch up on bedlington and the surrounding areas issues. However, as pointed out many times, i also like the off topic banter, and the creation of chat central in my eyes was a brilliant ploy!

    Now, today, i come online (as i always do, sometimes 4 or 5 times a day) to see whats changed. today i see a very good point made in TOTT, something i have heared about today at work: wansbeck is on its way out! I post my inquisitive reply for more info and move on. where i see more has appeared about the proposed power station at cambois: Great! more topical info for me to discuss tommorrow!

    Next i would have went into CC for the usual banter, where i could let my hair down and have a little fun.

    But, what do i find? Yet another Good topic about the town Way off topic. Not 1 new post about the power station at all!

    This is what gets to me about this site, you go to look at a topic you are interested in and all you find is a load of drivel about how unappy people are, or another sexual inuendo, or one member slagging another member off, or one of many other comments that has nothing at all to do with the topic. Most of these 'off topic' posts are also full of bad language.

    A while ago i was going to leave the forum alltogether, i was so sick of it, but i thought wait, maybe i can do something about this: so i took action, asked threegee if i could help out, split the bad stuff out and threw it in the chat area for further discussion. (whereas it would just get deleted before, so the issues never resolved)

    I cleaned up the posts of swearing, and took a great deal of my time making sure i checked every new post, editing out the bad, but leaving the main point behind for discussion.

    The thing is, everytime i did something, a wall appeared a little higher. certain members worked as hard as i did undoing my hard work, others changed their names to try to confuse me, and many others were just looking for the line i had drawn, testing the boundaries.(which i can cope with!)

    a few warnings later, all seemed to be going well, people were well on their way to getting their accounts cleared of warnings, and everyone seamed content. Then it got personal.

    Whoever it was that left the note on my car, Thankyou. It made me realise how much time i was wasting trying to create a safe environment on this forum.

    I really couldnt care less about idle threats on notepaper. in the line of work i used to do i was confronted with people on a daily basis that actually carried out their threats, not little children that cannot even look me in the eye.

    Now, back to my main point. Myself and a few others thought i was doing a really good job on the site, the real extent of actual town topics revealed themselves as hardly any posts remained in TOTT, and the chat area, relieved of the outlet for members to swear and abuse each other, started calming down, with a few nice games appearing to keep people coming back. But it seams that is not what you want.

    Members of this site seem to be quite content just letting any comment that anyone wants to post stay. Any swearing, howsoever graphic, should be left alone as it is the right of the poster to say what they like, and stuff anyone who visits the site.

    So what if their offended by whats put here? after all, who's heard of bedlington anyways? And why cant the board members make the moderators lives a misery?

    I forget who mentioned it before, but it was mentioned that they had not seen that much questionable material. I only wish i had cut and pasted most of it, and posted it somewhere else where you could see it. Perhaps you dont see most of it as the four people who can do anything about it are working so hard removing it every day.

    I guess i did go off on one after all, but it just annoys me that a site i have made my daily read has an area for topical info that just turns to crap at the turn of a hat, when a place for that has been created for you, and a moderator supplied free of charge to make sure it stays that way, but who has been forced to ask for his name to be removed because of all the static he gets for doing it.

    Am i a little too strict? maybe, but i think rules need to be made and those rules need to be stuck to. That way everyone knows where they stand. Yes, i did make mistakes. I have bad moods like everyone else. some of you got on the wrong side of those moods, and appologies were made and the action corrected. Do i take this too seriously? maybe, but this is my home towns website, and i dont want anyone thinking i come from a place full of idiots with no opinions other than how to swear and !*!@# people off.

    Its the likes of Pete, Joe, Tokyo and others that i feel sorry for. They use this as a means to keep in touch with their birthplace, and I am ashamed to be a part of it.

    Rant Over!

  20. Bedlington

    in Talk of the Town

    Posted

    Ex Bedlington lad here - used to contribute on the old forum and have just stumbled across this place tonight. Have lived away from the town now for 3 years (my ma still lives near the Bank Top though). Sadly the place doesn't seem to have changed much during that time and if it all in the last 10 years. Save for the amount of new houses that seem to be sprouting up pretty much everywhere.

    The Front Street looks to be a pale shadow of what it used to be and that's definitely the right phrase to use for a Sat night in Bedlington. Seems as if it's only 5 years or so since it used to be cracking tour on a Sat night. People seem to have moved on elsewhere (Morpeth) whilst Bedlington pubs remain full of underage kids/charvas. Also - the less said about the Station, the better. I had heard it got done up a bit, but it just turns out that The Clayton had a new window put in. ;):lol:

    Oh and the Perry's seem to be wanting to have their fingers in lots of pies. Last year, a plan was submitted to build flats (a Bail Hostel) on land at the back of my mam's house (on Melrose Ave) - thankfully it got thrown out. You'd think these lads would have made more than enough money to keep them going from 'running' the football club for 10 years......

    Hope this isn't coming over as having a go at the place (I'm not) - just more concerned with the direction or lack of one which the town seems to be suffering from. Is this the fault of WDC, or are there other reasons ? Bedlington has the potential to be as vibrant as Morpeth, but falls a long way short at the moment.

    Oh and of course - The Christmas Lights ! :unsure:

    I moved back roughly 4 years ago, the place is OK by me; stop yer whining ;)

    Long-haired weirdos still listening to heavy metal? Young herberts wearing black nail polish? Not on my watch, soldier.

    Back in the fifties we used to shoot people like that. And they'd thank you for it. I blame fluoride in the water.

    I'll bid you a good day.

    Can Joe Rooney confirm?
