Denzel

I'm glad to say the happy wanderer has moved back to Bedlington. Even if it is the Station, !*!@# sod.

A what? Whats one of them?

Let's have a dirtbox instead.

I can confirm that there are two, count 'em two, diddy bats still in situ.

Additionally, the pool table has been re-covered with a top quality baize and now runs as straight and true as the most exacting cuesman could desire.

Hooray for The North!

I don't believe for one minute that the North has TWO diddy bats! I may have to venture in this afternoon, purely for research purposes. I might even have a pint when I'm there.

Fishing

Dogging

Now that was a classic, its a pitty Clint didn't make some more of them films. That last cowboy he made was good as well, can't remember what it was called but he played an aging gun slinger that went to kill a cowboy because he cut up a pro, shot the lot in the end in the saloon, classic stuff.

Mark Kermode, Jonathan Ross et al, your time is up boys.

Denzel do you actually live in Bedlington again?

I do indeed!

Its true Denzel but I should have added that they make even bigger bucks from their block buster movies based on their fictitious books.

You're right there Pete, none of those films are as good as Dirty Harry.

Smoke

I dont agree, i live at the top end and wanna move asap

Glad to see you go, go, go, go goodbye...

ee sorry had a couple of reds to wind down after quite a busy night. I think the terriers are funny lookin. I remember when I was 16 & had a boyfriend in London, as you do like. I was staying with him, & his parents of course & I went to get into bed this night & the bloomin terrier had poo'd in the bed. Couldn't believe it. Poo's just a bit like a poodle if you know what I mean. Couldn't help but laughin when we found some under the pillow. Guess it didn't like me. Bit strange like that a dog can poo under the bedding never mind the bloomin pillow. Maybe the parents didn't like me eh. Ha ha

Not really.

ever since somerfield shut nettos has gone into overload and theres still only one check out on! muppets

It's a small price to pay for cheap Stella.

Pun intended.

It was High Alumina Cement that was used in lots of civil engineering projects - motorway bridges, school roofs etc. in the 1950's, 1960's and maybe beyond. It was used because of the strength and rigidity. What no one knew at the time was that it deteriorated very quickly under certain circumstances. Until - one day - things started to fall down! The Top Club was particularly vulnerable because of the way the architect had suspended the outside walls to extend the floor area and give it an "ultra-modern look".

I'm not aware that ground stability was a factor, but if you are building again on the same site then, as an architect, you'd want to be extra extra careful in order not to get sued. Although - thinking back - maybe that's why many of the buildings on the East side of the Glebe Road were missing long before the Coooncil completed the demolition job (for the totally unnecessary dual carriage way)! And, it's from this (unnecessarily isolating part of the west end from the center) that has arisen all the problems.

Now why - you might ask - was the road connecting Ashington to the smoke deemed far more important than any of the other roads going in and out of the Town? Answers on a postcard to the: "Let's Screw Bedlington - Again!" Subcommittee, WDC Council Offices, Station Road, ASHINGTON.

Hehe, I love this guy.

Has anyone got any ideas as to why the front street went downhill?

Only about 5 year ago it seemed really busy in every pub, now each pub has only a handful of people in it. It's either very young people (14) or old poeple. The old people are welcome of course but seeing kids out on the piss is a joke... where are the parents I ask!

I stopped going out, and my people followed suit.

i used to like the domino - altho it dont exist these days

The Domino is the yardstick by which all other nightclubs are judged.

No other town has this amount of free parking so conveniently placed. The ones at the West end of the Front Street are quite pretty too.

And.. before the disparaging remarks about well that no one uses them because there's nowt to do, nowhere to shop - that's would be a gross exaggeration.

Bang on Threegee, Bedlington is a retail Mecca.

Proof positive that this is the site that gets things done.

New cues at the north, hot and cold running blue chalk and the pocket has been fixed.

The board still has a slope and the cloth is still threadbare but let us not quibble, this is a RESULT for the forces of decency in our town. Hats off to all concerned.

Is the diddy bat still there?

A belated happy birthday you owld get!

What do the donkeys on Blackpool beach get for dinner?

Bet that one took days to think up. More imagination than unelected PM Gordon "Prudence" Brown seems able to muster though. He's been told by his spin-doctors to smile more(?), but this is not a pretty sight. A blond wig maybe? Hmm.. probably now being considered by Ken Livingstone too.

Who needs Ian Hislop when we've got Threegee.

hey watch it cheeky monkey

Wey it's true, bliddy Station scratters.

Sales of Scandia Lager and Campbell's Meatballs went trough the roof that weekend.

There are teachers out there who teach for understanding you know. And also good schools that teach life skills (it's in the national curriculum too, PSHE.) Don't knock the schools when you haven't seen what we do. (Yes, I know there are bad teachers and bad schools too.) I think your problem is with the government, not the schools.

Teachers do sod all woman, they get almost as many holidays as Judith Chalmers.

I think people who make these reports have had to much pop, there are no ufo's its all in the minds of American authers who make big bucks from selling their books. Joe public likes excitment.

Get them telt Pete!
