I have no idea if any of you know my mam and dad, but they are coming back over to Bedlington in October for a week's visit. Dad used to be a regular at the Bull with Stu Dawson, Beef and Mickey Luke. Just wanted to let anyone interested know that. They have been gone for over 11 yrs so I know a lot has changed.

So sorry to hear about your brother, Joe.

They should be thrown out of town, bunch of damn crooks. He walks around looking like his !*!@# doesn't stink, thinking that he is better then everyone else and he is nothing better than a common criminal. I have not lived there for nearly 10 years and he still makes my blood boil.

Happy Christmas Everybody. It is going to be 80 degrees here today, kind of weird listening to Christmas songs and wearing a tee shirt with the A/C on. Oh well musn't complain.

Congratulations, love the name Cole

I love Christmas, we don't have a lot of money this year so are having big family meals and just spending time together. It is a lot less stressful then trying to get someone something that they didn't want in the first place, and then comparing what you got them to what they got you. Love it, Love it, Love it. Bah Humbug to all who don't

Welcome

Hello

OMG I had completely forgotten about that. She used to scare the crap out of me

Okay, I swear when I lived there I read that she lost her leg in Sunderland when she was run over by a double decker bus that went onto the curb, but she is telling everyone over here that she was run over by a police man on his way to Princess Diana's house. Does anyone remember the story and can clarify it?

Hey I have been on the site on and off for quite a while but never introduced myself. Born and bred in Bedlington, went to the Oval, WestSleekburn and then Bedlington High, raised practically in the Black Bull Pub. Moved to the USA about 10 years ago and am coming home to visit next year. Hope the Bull is still standing.

Worked twice for me, spooky

Thank you so much Joe, You know when my mom was really sick an aunt of mine sent her a card, and she had written inside " When you feel like you have gotten to the end of your rope, tie a knot in the end and hang on" That has become my new motto to live by. Take care of yourself Linda

Hi Joe I am very sorry to read about your illness. It really seems like you work your butt off to get to a point where you can enjoy life and then something happens. My mom was diagnosed with Lung Cancer in April of this year and moved from Bedlington to the US about 11 years ago. Now she is facing a medical bill of over $100,000.00 and they still can't tell her if it is in remission or not. You honestly just have to take it one day at a time and really appreciate all that you have around you. Good luck

Just heard the sad news that Jimmy White passed last week of a heartattack. He was a good family friend. RIP Whitey

Well living in South East USA I would love to see some snow. It is great because the slightest bit freaks everyone out and they close down the businesses and schools etc. As long as I don't have to be on the highway with the idiots who can not drive in it I am ok.

Just trying to see what # I am

Yeah, it is 8 years this April since I left Bedlington and I really miss it, but I wonder if it's the memories I miss and if I ever came back would it be the same. Getting ready on a Friday night to go up the street and then going to the Domino or Lucy's. Pretty much knowing everyone you see. It sounds like alot is changing up the front street but I still have some great memories growing up in Bedlington, would love to see some different pictures also
