If one drop of rain falls in a field, doubles in size every day and in 600 days it becomes a lake, how many days did it take to reach half of its size?

If it doubles it size every day then it was half its own size the day before the 600th

Meets a woman. this woman had seven (7) daughters traveling with her, whom had three (3) brothers, who had 2 sons each (the brothers did) These sons were also traveling with the group. each of the group had 2 pets each with them. three (3) of the daughters had ice creams, one was licking it slowly, the second biting chunks out, and the third ate hers in one mouthful.

How could this be?

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.

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 !

It still has its charms, just with added chav, and the Clayton has new windows every week I heard

But unfortunatly mongo lost, and so his soul was lost forever.

Now, old grim, on the other hand, was having a right boring time... in an attempt to liven his dull life up, he decided to....

browse thru the topics on bedlington.co.uk .. when he came across the thread about....

then he went to the clayton for a quick pint and was mugged by some glue sniffas. he staggered back across the road and was splatted by the bek on its way back up the top end! he was rushed to ashington old hospital on route the ambulance hit a cortina and burst into flames all were prenouced dead at the seen!.....

But somehow he survived and walked home , stopping first for a bag of chips for the way

a big chocolate cake from Greggs (yum yum) He decides to take it on his journey just incase he gets hungry.He jumps on to the bus and..

He realises he's gone back in time and its the raisbeck. So he ventures down the station for 15p

That's nice. But your rigid evangelistic rules will put people off.
