Yeah! I can just see the Multi Nationals breaking their necks to set up in The Ghost Town that is Bedlington!

Thought it already was what with all the dodderers I see going in there!

That money must have double yellows around it! Same as, same as one law for them one law for us. I tell you what how about turning it round to one law for us and tell them to get stuffed!

Even more reason to love her Brian....

By self funded I take it that these wardens will be on minimum wage and the cooncil cop the rest of the cash! If not, and if they are on a bonus scheme where do I apply! Just think Four schools just outside the door I'd only have to work two hours in morning and two hours in the afternoon and I'd be minted, the down side is my first wage would be used for steel shuttering for the windows and replacing the car with an armoured vehicle! Oh! Well I could put up with that...Where's the yellow paint

Malcolm would 'Five fingered widow Brigade' have suited the situation better?

It's good locking the door after the horse has bolted! Did they have another reason in the first place, and back tracked after complaints? Did NCC really believe that they could get away with this? Why only Bedlington? Why not any where else? Surely the same standard of workmanship is applied to all cemeteries across NCC areas. Do they realise what they have started and the cost it will incur? Bedlington may be first but now they have set a president, they now have an obligation to carry out remedial work across the county! And, I think it won't be them paying for it either!

A pity their rose tinted glasses can't see the same at the entrance to Bennies. Their parking restrictions there and their yellow paint only meant one thing to parents Yahoo! we can park legally now! If the parking at the war memorial has damaged the stone work then I think a few breathalysers need to be administered

Rio Tinto had no intention of scuttling back to wherever they came from! Five year ago they bought Alcan with the sole intention of closing it down to 'Do away with a competitor' The then government stepped in offering a deal to keep it open for five year in the hope that Rio Tinto would see the error of their ways. Obviously Rio Tinto GRABBED the chance of FREE money and signed the five year deal! So five years later they are closing the plant. SURPRISE SURPRISE. It's what they intended anyway so why the furore now. Everybody knew it was happening five year ago! And as for the MP's(MUPPETS) who tried the 'I'll fight to keep it open!' brigade, vote seeking bar stewards they knew it was happening no matter what, the self fornicating mxxxxxxxxxxs !

HERE HERE or is it HEAR HEAR! We need to vote for someone else, we can't have more of the same! CAN WE!

Canny Lass, I don't think it has anything to do with settlement, but with shoddy present day workmanship, that's why a gravestone of fifty year plus is still standing and one of say fifteen year or less needs remedial work. Cost cutting and money(Profit) men seem to be the problem these days!

Done up and stitched up. Better looking shop fronts, better rents and Cooncil rates! FFS! 'Yes pal, you want one of these units?' Even though we got a grant and it cost us NOWT 'Ya ganna pay through the nose if ya want to rent one pal.' 'Just look at how good it looks!' The BIG THREE must be rubbing their hands with GLEE! Sorry I should have said The BIG FOUR. the Cooncil are involved as well!

CON-DEMS! Nuff Said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Camerons successor! Eh! So Adam you want the Con-Dems in again! I don't think so. This is an un elected Government being allowed to get away with murder. Clegg, leg or beg runs this country, without him Cameron is NOTHING!

Brian, hello mate, she may be after votes but as long as she meant what she said and follows it through, good for her! If someone from The Monster Raving Lunatic Party had come out with such a statement Screaming Lord Such(God rest his screaming soul) would have made Prime Minister. Brian nearly all my family live in Oz, there's only me and my sister left here, and they are as sick of the racial element thrown at them as you! Malcolm if this country is a social experiment, then expect an explosion because when you put two elements together that are not compatible KA-BOOM

If they are still there I'll have a look and report back.

Well Malcolm a relative of mine went along on Wednesday and spoke to the workmen. They say that the stakes were for support while they repaired the headstones and were removing them as they went along! A pile of logs and tie wraps seemed to support their answer. I am still not convinced and shall check personally to see what progress has been made! Canny Lass, Hello, I can see your point and am saddened at the death of the youngster, but the point I was making was: Why was this only happening in the new part of the cemetery? The old part has grave stones at least 4 to 5 times the weight of the new part yet nothing was done to support these gravestones!

Prime Minister Julia Gillard- Australia Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.. Separately, Gillard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying she supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote: 'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT.. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians. ' 'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom' 'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society ... Learn the language!' 'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.' 'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.' 'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.' 'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.' - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves in UK, Canada & USA , WE will find the courage to start speaking and voicing the same truths. Have we got extradition laws with Australia? Get her here now! Kick the limp wristed duo out NOW!

First and foremost is that I could not reply or do anything to my good friend Malcolms PM, due to my work commitments, now that really P'D me off! Elliott's Garage is another, Tesco is another but the one that really P.I.S.S.E.S me off is the end of year 'Let's get rid of money scheme' by our beloved COONCILLA'S! At this time of year I ask myself: What pea brained idea can they come up with this year to get rid of money? So they aren't penalised next year and will still get their full quota of spondulicks for tha back pockets. Never in my wildest dreams and to my horror they came up with a splendiferous idea in the guise of health and safety! What did they do? You may ask. They desecrated Bedlington Cemetery with their wooden stakes and tie wraps! Why? To stop gravestones falling on people and them making claims against the Cooncil. I ask, Why only Bedlington? Also these tie wraps are more dangerous than the gravestones themselves, the stakes deny access to disabled relatives to the deceased! Also, Why only the new graveyard, surely the old gravestones weigh at least 5 times as much as the new ones so why are these not staked up! Come to that if this is policy, the whole of Britain's graveyards should be staked up or declared 'No Go Areas' That would be fantastic to me as it would mean I was Immortal Another thing,when I buried my Mother and father and my Father in law I had to apply for planning permission to erect the gravestones, these plots belong to me! Do the cooncil have a right to erect these monstrocities! People please feel free to contact me if while visiting Bedlington graveyard, you trip or stumble over these posts or cut youselves on these tie wraps, Their health and safety will then be held to question! I hope, their deep pockets are deep enough to pay out all the compensation claims! OUCH!

Adam you couldn't be closer to the truth if you tried, there's stuff buried on the Cleanaway site that nobody and I mean nobody knows about! Well except a few COONCILLORS with bulging back pockets! When I was nicking stuff off the landfill, I would be there at 5am! Bearing in mind this site did not open till 8am,I/We used to ask the question what the **** a low loader was doing on the site at 5am with loads of forty gallon drums on, with the Spikey Bike driver digging a hole in the middle of the tip! This happened at least once a week during the tip's life span! So Adam your guess is as good as mine, but my guess is it was highly illegal and highly profitable to some cooncillor, AND a TICKING TIME BOMB!

Am fine how's yersel?

This isn't a joke but I thought that in relation to the above 'JOKE' ahem, you would be interested. The government where these trains run have come up with an idea to deter these people hanging on the trains! They have begun hanging CONCRETE balls above the lines to knock these people off! True believe it or not. Now would we get away with it in this country.......................................................

By the way I hope you have an environmental rod licence Mr Henry,because you are on camera fishing on a river. An e-mail on way to environment agency just to make sure! £1000 fine and banned from every water board water in the country if you haven't! And just in case you thought I was picking on you because of the colour of your skin, this also applies to that bloke (WHITE) who does the insurance adverts!

Ya havin a Giraffe who would want to live next door to you and that noisy bloody Alfie, barks at nowt that damn thing keeps waking me up when I'm in that stupid shift..........errrrrrrrr I didn't say that just delete that last bit whoop whoop. Say nowt or I'll tell ya fatha! I must say it's took you a person of high intelligence a good ten year to work it out. Tell ya m8 any car park any time!

There's probably a few cooncilla's with a six inch nail in tha heeds as we speak!
