Who has? Colonel_Misery?

I never knew! Congratulations!

Really though, whats the point in all of this !*!@#? You cant go on at people for bickering like children and then sit there doing it yourselves.

Really...

I wish i had anything of value to sell!!

One thing i love about That online auction site that is in no way as good as Free Bedlington.co.uk Classifieds - the variety of items you can actually buy on the thing. I mean, how weird are some things on it!?

What do you guys think? Have you seen anything weird/wonderful on That online auction site that is in no way as good as Free Bedlington.co.uk Classifieds?

or has anyone bought anything weird?! or even embarrassing?!

C'mon people. Spill

I've seen used false teeth... In their "weired" section hehe

When i last visited Bedlngton I went down to the woods to revisit where I played when I was a kid,I must say I was surprised by the amount of junk that was in the once clean river Blyth, here they have a clean-up day once a year,a number of people go out and tidy up the beaches and all around the local area,do we have a tidy up day for Bedlington and especially the once lovely woods,if we do give me the date and it will give me an excuse to return to lend a hand ( and have a few pints with my rellies ) ...............BC

Dont get me started on the woods! You didnt notice dog dump swinging from branches in plastic bags did you?

Seriously though, not sure if we do have a tidy up day, dont think we do...

Haha! Being mint has nout to do with what you look like.

infact im gunna put a photo pf you on it and see who it brings up

Riiiight. Tek ya pick:

Sarah Michelle Gellar

Billie Piper

Claire Forlani

Jennifer Love Hewitt

Liv Tyler

Its funny, because all of those people actually look very different from one another!

I am who I am - and proud to be unique!

PS: I think you'll agree that I'm a lot better looking than my "look-a-likes".

See who you look like then Blank

THEN we shall laugh

What are you trying to say like Rachi?

I'm mint and you know it!

Hmm, I'm not too sure on my lookalikes.

I was wondering,do any of you use That online auction site that is in no way as good as Free Bedlington.co.uk Classifieds? and if so,have you managed to get any bargains? I`ve managed to get some cheap games and cd`s,saved a fortune

I sometimes sell the odd thing - but the charges are pretty steep. Sold a pair of jeans for £41 and got charged nearly a fiver altogether for Paypal / Seller fees / Listing fees etc.

However, i suppose i would never have made that much on them if I'd been selling at a car boot sale, so I'll let them off - Just!

Does the strictly moderated BBC website use the phrase 'this is england not blackie land'? Or do they allow racist terminology for citizens of a particular nation? Should this be allowed I will stand corrected, but until then I remain steadfast in my belief that really, some people need to get out more...

Not far off... theres people claiming that this is white mans land - is it racist?

By "Blackie" i think he meant more than one black man / woman and by "land" i reckon he meant wherever they originally came from.

Some people? Who is stirring up racial hatred then?

Nothing can and nothing will be done about mosta moaning about that arrogant man on breakfast.

As it happens, there are people with exactly the same views posting on the BBC website - which is strictly moderated.

Why not try to take the BBC to court then... *yawn*

Anyway... why employ ethnic people with no qualifications over a white person with qualifications? isn't the police force contradicting themselves here - all this equal opportunities patter- well it inst equal is it? If I'm qualified and someone else is not, then i should get the job - not the other person just because they are black.

Its stupidity.

"Why should there be a quota system in what should essentially be a race-less institution? By even talking quotas, the Home Office has made race an issue. Why is there a Black Policemen's Association? If they tried to create a White Policemen's Association, it would be branded rascist. Double standards."

I know, racism towards white people SUCKS and should be stamped out!

he said black people dont want to see white police officers patroling there streets

Their streets?

Honestly, if we said we didn't want black policemen on OUR streets we'd probably get done for Racism.

Anyway, I don't care what colour policemen or woman are, as long as they do their job properly!

I saw it too, the Asian was agreeing that if a white man or woman was qualified, against a black man or woman who wasnt, then the white person should get the job... but the black man was saying that, even if the black person wasnt qualified, he / she should automatically get the job anyway...

There was a student on the news who said we were all hit or too scared out of our minds tos top him. Another nut job on GMTV this morning saying that this is the reason schools should not be gun-free zones (as they are now) because the teacher or another student would have also had a gun to shoot him down. Isn't amazing what culture can do to warp people's common sense.

I know, they are completely deluded. Absolutely crazy... If everyone in the street walked around with a gun in their pocket...

I will look into this.

We've to finish the current skin properly anyway, but might possibly add another, or modify the Gallery specific CSS entries.

Threegee, you could always change the banner on the site - the current one looks a bit drab and doesn't reflect the vibrant, cheerful community that is Bedlington!

yeah bedlington pit was located there, and i think office row must have been pulled down cause its not on any maps! think it might have been the old colliery rows opposite nettos, try http://communities.northumberland.gov.uk there's loads of old photo's and maps.

Thats a really interesting site monsta, well done.

Which part of bedlington is blyth in? shouldnt this be in northumbrian chat? lol

(go on, mention the US Shooting thread...)

Hell of a blast looking at the journal today...pheeeeeweee!

Who cares if the topic isnt about Bedlington - look at previous posts and you'll see that most of them are general discussions about anything and everything.

If we only talked about stuff happening in Bedlington then... well we wouldnt have anything to talk about because nothing much happens here.

You can't give guns to children though can you?

Yeah, i heard it used to be a school at one time.

Its been in this state for a long time now, I personally don't want to see yet another new development there in its place...

I cant believe its happened again, how many times does this have to happen before laws on guns are tightened in America?

BBC Report

30,000 people die every year in America from gunshot wounds.

"Police SWAT teams now regularly visit American schools to teach students how to react to a shooting - testament to their unhappy status as one of the country's prime killing grounds."

(Timeline: US shooting Sprees)

Imagine that, sending your kid to school knowing that today, they'd be getting lessons on how to survive a gunman.

Its sad.

A lovely computer generated photo of clean streets, clean people, blue skies etc...

I notice how they don't mention the railway lines running opposite, or the high school and its hundreds of kids trooping past every day bricking the windows.

Just look at Petes shop on the corner, (Actually you cant see it on that photo as its not even real, but its the corner shop opposite the development). He has his windows put out at least twice a week, i don't even think he bothers to have them replaced now.

I've just updated my gallery, can anyone tell me what the building is that I've named 'Neglected Building'? (Opposite St. Cuthberts).

Oh, and let me know what you think!

Just a warning, don't visit the above on a Sunday lunch-time. We opted for the Chinese Dim Sum as that's what all the Chinese people were having and it looked like you got lots of nice 'bits.' However the menu did not have anything I would have touched never mind eaten. Examples: Deep Fried chicken feet, spicy ducks tongues, pig trotter, intestines, jellyfish, crab roe. BLEUGHHH. We ate the prawn crackers and paid for our drinks and left. Went over the road to the lovely Dragon House and had some splendid Lemon chicken and ku-bo chicken. It was an embarrassing disaster, to be avoided if you don't fancy that kind of thing!

Hahahaha... Sounds like all the left over pieces from the kitchens thrown into one dish...

I'm surprised they didnt throw in some stewed sheep !*!@# .

Don't ask me about odds and that, I'm just a girl. I did half it with Mr.Hair as I am that sort of person.

Quite a few people got some money back then, my brother won too... I won last year like so I cant complain too much!

Maybe your internet connection just keeps going down, mine does that from time to time.

Even though the image is 287kb, what dimensions does it have?

I think images any bigger than 100kb have trouble uploading, as does anything bigger than 800 x 600. If the image is a JPEG (Or JPG) format, try changing it to GIF, the quality wont be as good but the size will decrease... either that or just shrink the image.

Talk about home grown veg... i've got mine in there now!
