....and to answer your question on absence being documented. It's a target for the schools and the pupils every term and actions are taken if attendance is at a certain level. I highly doubt that employers will have access to this however as most people are unemployable at the minute straight out of school, well in jobs where their school attendance would make any difference anyway!!

Part circus and part Star Wars bar, funny characters most nights

Keith, does your brother have amnesia??? He seems to have forgotten most of his time in bedders haha..... It wasn't just the market tavern on a Friday was it?

My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school reunion, and she kept staring at a drunken man swigging his drink as he sat alone at a nearby table. I asked her, "Do you know him?" "Yes" she sighed, "He's my old boyfriend.... I understand he took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear he hasn't been sober since." "My God!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?"

not sure there's been any mention of it that i am aware of....sure the caretaker or someone is a member here though

When my son woke up on Christmas morning he was faced with everything he could ever dream of... I got him an Argos catalogue.

Two interesting facts about me. 1) My Willy is the same length as 2 Argos pens. 2) I'm banned from Argos.

And that is just for taking part is it not?

you must never see her, I've seen people in there at 10pm some nights :-) Did you read the T&C's when you registered, I think it says in there that you have to have Terriers as your team when you sign up

On the plus side, plenty of work for local traders and builders eh?! Silver lining perhaps? As for the politico's and the planners, who needs actions when you've got words....

Welcome to the site Geoff, What business is it that your partner has if you don't mind me asking? Bedlington is a lovely place to live but then again we did move from Ashganistan so anywhere would have done

Well it can't be in both, there can only be one

Forgetting them is easy, just drink more

I don't think it does but I remember asking at the time and that was (maybe only part of) the reason it was taken out.

Voted Also promoted it to an article for the news page malcolm

Yet the no smoking policy meant that the Snowy Owl removed their open fire. Loved getting a seat next to that.

People will have just started getting their lives back in order. Insurance companies dragging their feet and they have to go through it all again. Such a shame

Happy Birthday

It might be cold and rainy, but I've decided to put up a marquee in my garden with some funky music and flashing lights in it. Now is the winter of my disco tent.

You might want to clear your search history so the wife doesn't get worried.

I got in trouble at the zoo today for lining all the squirrels up in order of height. They don't like me critter sizing. ------------------------------------------------ Archaeologists digging on a Pyramid in Egypt have found a mummy covered in chocolate and nuts.... Experts believe it to be Pharaoh Roche. ------------------------------------------------ Two Thai girls asked me if I'd like to go bed with them, they said it would be just like winning the lotto! I agreed, and they were right. We all stripped off and to my horror, we had six matching balls! ------------------------------------------------ I bought my Girlfriend a pug. Despite the squashed nose, wonky eyes, and trouble breathing due to the weight gain over the years, she really loves her new pet. ------------------------------------------------

Since the mobile 5-a-side setup was in Tesco car park a short while back I have been thinking that not only beneficial training but maye a 5-a-side league would be good and stop the young'uns belting the ball around in the market place. The only places that do 5-a-side leagues properly round here aren't exactly accessible and generally privately booking a pitch is expensive. Not sure if this is something that you have looked into Dale but any kind of sports activities would be good in and around Bedders.

Promoted this so that it is on the News front page.

Grow a set and deal with it....get up and do something active instead of feeling sorry for yourself.

More to the point, isn't about time you had an inside netty Keith?
