i don't have any nice pictures of the town, however i do have some rather fine images of things that have been left behind on market day, greggs pasties left in unusual places and a multitude of dazzling saturday-night-offerings taken on a sunday morning. i too would like to exhibit these pictures to the interneters and would also like some help. cheers

I have found that any pic larger than 100k (approx) will not upload.

All very cavalier guys, when did it become ok for violence on the streets? I bet you'd all be whimpering if it happened to you. 'Humour', there's enough of the sick variety in some postings hereabouts. I just hope potential visitors don't think that you are typical of the "enlightened" views of local people.

We live in an enlightened age my dear.

Really Dearest

1. To give spiritual or intellectual insight to:

"Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppression of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day" Thomas Jefferson.

2. To give information to; inform or instruct.

Seems to me that assault is ok these days, even humourous.

So lots of photos would be appreciated.

I'd be happy to post more pics of Bedlington but the gallery just doesn't accept them now, maybe I've reached my limit.

Get them in kidda, I'll spark up the snouts.

So 70's

Personally I'm teetotal - alcohol impairs the ability to spell correctly.

You must be so proud, stick your chest out.

The Red Lion leasehold can be yours for c.£40k; apparently it's been earmarked for a 'significant' refurbishment. Again.

Estimate of £45k and it's yours, payable to Enterprise Inns, the ad. is in the Herald and Post.

If you want to be healthy then DON'T GO TO A SODDING PUB! Sit in the house and eat falafel and tofu, washed down with water out of a bottle.

Of course smoking does kill

Which one? Richard, Derek, William or maybe another one of the many cockney's living in Bedlington ?

Well you could go to the "Clayton Arms" & chat to a regular,

10 minutes later you're minus all teeth

I resent that, break a few bones for sure, but not teeth

Further to the Advocaat theme, I just purchased some Co-op lemonade (51p for 2 litres, from, er, the Co-op) and am now drinking me down some Snowball.

By jingo, why wasn't I told earlier how good dem Snowballs taste? Man alive, they is good.

No wonder the craze of Snowballing seems to be sweeping the nation.

Just added your blog to SU, wait and see

I'm thinking about advertising a free week's childcare at Bedlington Bears Nursery, funded Pre-school, and Out of Schools Club in the Wansbeck publication 'In Touch'. What do you think? Does anybody actually read it. All advice and opinions welcome.

A few years back I had my own business in the town and the only advertising worth the fee was Yellow Pages.

chestnut puree!

Great for stuffing the 'chuck'

According to the 'News Post Leader', the Port of Blyth is to spend £7million on developement of facilitys to import coal into the region, coals to Newcastle seems to be a reality

hail queen rebecca , are you taking over The Sun !!

Pathetic

In a couple of Bedlington maps, what I think is the Bank Top Hotel, is shown under two different names on the same site. As the "Puddlers Arms" in 1897, and then as the "Bank Top Hotel" in 1936!

Was the Puddlers Arms renamed as the Bank Top Hotel, or was it built as a totally different building?

And if so, when did the change or new building occur? My feeling is that perhaps the Puddlers Arms was converted into part of the Craggs row cottages and two story housing project.

There is a map in Evan Martins booklet "Bedlington Iron and Engine Works" dated 1858 indicate a building where the Bank Top is but doesn't identify it. Places of note are the "Railway Inn", Puddlers Row and Keelmans Row. For those whose interests stretch beyond Hooters this may prove of interest.

Indie? You think we're an indie band? I'll have none of that !*!@# thanks very much. We play proper music. Covers like Metallica, Judas Preist, Ac/Dc. And of course our own material. Don't judge us 'till you've heard us.

Got the message, now I'm into heavy mental

However, the reverse is also true, Miss so-called Darn.

If a lady chooses not to share her bodily treasures with all and indeed sundry, our society lauds this as admirable, modest, restrained behaviour.

Where is the justice in that, eh

We understand your problem CK

Nah, they look like any other rag-tag group of half-arsed indie kids.

I remember real classy rock music.

It seems that Morpeth can get enough interest in lighting up the town. I was just looking at this weeks crop of Northumberland pictures on www.northumberland-cam.com, and he has a pretty good set of pictures of Morpeth,s Christmas lights.

Do they have more local pride there? Or what is the problem!

Joe

Not too many folk bother with lights here Joe, they are too busy trying to avoid the wrath of Jesus.

I don't want spotty faced youths grunting on about how life is crap and skateboarding is good. I'm more than happy to have a game of crib instead.

I enjoy a game of crib occasionaly with the old girls
