  1. Riders from the prestigious Yellow and Blue team battling their hated Blue and Yellow rivals, all the while wondering what were they thinking of putting that gold glitter stuff up at The Grapes.

    Step aside Pinky Bass, Robert Mapplethorpe, David Bailey, Elmer Batters et al, there's a new photographic wizard in town.

  2. I am proper shocked like!

    Over the years I can think of at least 2 dozen folk who have claimed to be in the BNP whilst engaged in Bedlington's 'last orders' political debate! Surely they weren't just shouting on to look hard and clever?! :o

    Phrase of the day.

  3. And what about the so called 'Olympic Legacy'? The Olympic Stadium will be ripped apart to reduce its capacity for athletics & footy - but no footy club wants to have a running track around the pitch so none have signed-up. We've all seen how lifeless/dull/lacking in atmosphere those foreign grounds are (Champ League tv games) ... goodness, it might even become as empty as the Smoggies tip or as grim as that darkplace in mackemland.

    The donkey riding & jumping in Greenwich park will consist of temporary stands and other facilities, all to be ripped-out at the end, no doubt causing long-term damage to this beautiful park (& Heritage Site). The shooting, just along the road at Woolwich Barracks – new ranges constructed, new seating, and all the rest – this is all coming out when the curtain comes down. This is a particular waste of dosh as just down the road, near Dartford, there’s already a shooting complex where the money could have been better spent on an up-grade ... that would have left an Olympic Legacy.

    They reckon we’ll all be paying for this for decades to come through taxation. The poor saps in Greater London will have to pay even more via a Council Tax Surcharge, although some on the Forum may say that “it serves them right for being Cockneys”.

    As to the Dome (or the O² as we now have to call it) - a great building but what a missed opportunity. I visited the place shortly after it opened and thought the structure was brilliant but the contents was so naff I couldn't believe it. The Faith Zone (an empty white space), fast-food concessions everywhere, the biggest diamond in the World (actually, it was just a glass fake), the Body Zone (a giant plastic dolly which you walked through) ... Oh dear! the place looked cheap and nasty. I had better times at the Miners Picnic! They should have built the National Stadium (Wembley) there instead of Dome.

    Aye, they're not a patch on the snarling bearpit that is St James Park.

  4. More in the News Post Leader this week, public invited to visit the Community Centre to see plans or if you can't make that, visit Tesco next Monday & Tuesday.

    We'll all find out exactly what they are proposing to do?

    Rumours this weekend are that they are completely flattening everything from the Tavern down over and rebuilding and having it built on "stilts" with car parking underneath?

    Supposedly selling electricals and clothing like the other larger shops plus other retail units within the shop.

    p.s What's happening to the old Gas shop? workmen busy and seem to be dividing the shop, anyone know what it's going to be?

    Things looking up for Bedlington, Tesco extending, Gas shop, and a new computer shop, anything else opening up?

    Aye, let's get the bunting out eh?

  5. Graham Norton, the music of Queen, men in skirts, bagpipes and guitar solos.

    It doesn't get any worse than that.

    You've just stopped me from looking at it. Thanks mate.

  6. was in friday night,enjoyed the beer,an its cheaper than most on the street especially the free one cheers again dumb cow,me an my spellin! Anyway you should at least give the place a chance,you might be pleasantly surprised.

    Im happy to remain blissfully ignorant.
