  1. I have read that Denzel, thats why I will continue to smoke me tabs.

    They were giving the ash trays away last night at my local working mens club, I got a couple of them and now I don't know which one to use first. Ah well it saves the wife having to pick me dog ends up off the carpet.

    :D

    Get as many as you can then in a few years put them on e-bay they'll be collectors items make a bomb oops wrong phrase there have the anti terror sqad round later................................who's that at the door....................................................aaaaaarrrrgggghhhh

  2. She used to come into the pub on a Friday night selling magazines, haven't seen her for a while could be to do with the smoking ban.

    :D

    Not much point in trying to sell their mag when they can't get through the doors for the smokers blocking them it'll be like trying to cross a picket line :lol: Now theres an idea!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

  3. Is it just mild swearing that gets edited? Pig-ignorant racism is ok, is it?

    When they resort to this kind of language,they really do not have any idea what they are on about,sad but true.Bringing racism in just to get a reaction from you's well it is rather patheticaly sad.All the bad eggs are not in the same box!

  4. Whats with all the terrorist car attacks anyway?

    This is war, and we cannot lose

    MAKE no mistake, Britain is under siege. The entire fabric of our normal life is threatened.

    The car bombers seeking to inflict unimaginable carnage on London and Glasgow had one objective.

    To vent their twisted hatred of the West by slaughtering innocent citizens across the nation.

    That's why EVERY resource must be employed in the battle to defeat these bloodthirsty fanatics.

    Whatever the police and security services require — including extended periods of detention for interrogation — must be granted without delay.

    Parliament must halt the stomach-churning farce of judges setting free notorious terror suspects to avoid breaching their ‘human rights'.

    For as the new Prime Minister's adviser, former Met police chief Lord Stevens, reminds us today:

    Al Qaeda has imported the tactics of Baghdad and Bali. And it will get worse before it gets better.

    A long, hard battle lies ahead. And with it comes a vital role for the Islamic community.

    Moderate Muslims must unite to disown and expose the radicalised jihadists who skulk in their midst.

    For a new Government, these are testing times, but the overriding priority is clear — the safety of our nation in time of war.

    And, ultimately, the defeat of terror.

    Home in on the truth

    WHEN Gordon Brown pledges British jobs for British people he is both brave and right.

    For too long, anyone courageous enough to speak out bluntly on immigation has been smeared a racist.

    Remember the uproar when Industry Minister Margaret Hodge warned it was ‘unfair' for new arrivals to jump the council house queue, leaving British families in limbo for generations.

    Yet, as we reveal today, five per cent of council accommodation is allocated to foreign nationals, despite a waiting list of 1.5 million families.

    Inevitably, such statistics fuel resentment and hand far-right rabble-rousers the ammunition they yearn for.

    The fact is, the topic of immigration cannot be avoided indefinitely.

    The Prime Minister's timely and refreshing approach is to be welcomed.

    This was taken from todays newspaper,at last,I hope, we have a PM who can see what is going on in this country and is prepared to do something about it.

    " For too long, anyone COURAGEOUS enough to speak out bluntly on immigration has bean smeared a RACIST"

    RING ANY BELLS OUT THERE :angry: :angry:

    Maybe the only time you lot will wake up is when they blow up weatherspoons

  5. Not be long now!

    i think we should all get a scaled down fire extinguisher to carry around, so we can blast a wave of water at anyone that sparks up! just for a laugh!

    You'll get a laugh with the first person who tells me I'm getting a fine for smoking,they'll get lamped then I'll get sent down and be able to do what I was doing in the first place SMOKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Funny that aint it?

  6. Everyone complains that Bedlington doesnt have the shops people want, but the shops such as butchers etc need to be supported when they are there. Its no good whinging about the lack of local shops on route to Asda.

    Use the shops that are there and hopefully others may come..............maybe.

    Meat slices from the butchers beside Watsons are great!

  7. If this is the same dude, he's a chap from Stakeford with mental illness, and perhaps not one to make fun of :angry:

    As Miss Hair says, he's completely harmless :) but do we need to talk about him here? Lets get back to bitching about the foriegners or them from Blyth...

    Whoa! What's going on here is this a moderator trying to get us to be detrimental :P

    And by the way I'll reiterate Cympil's question.What is going on here,how has this thread appeared here after so long?

  8. Good, i like a debate !

    So why are you not kicking off about the ban in pubs? i dont see why someone should be exempt from the ban just because they are locked up !

    I was a smoker myself once, and i actually dont agree totally with the ban, however, being in prison should be a punishment, not a play area. I am certainly not afraid of going to jail. as i said, i know people who get themselves put away simply because their life in jail is better than on the outside. Thats not good. Maybe if they knew they couldnt smoke/drink/take drugs/play playstations/get 5 course meals cooked by jamie oliver etc etc it would be a detterent.

    This is my point. if jail was feared, you wouldnt miss paying your fines. if you feared jail, you wouldnt miss a court date. i dont mean just the smoking issue, i mean the whole jail experience. to reitterate my previous point:JAIL SHOULD BE A PUNISHMENT

    and under no circumstances should they be allowed to do things normal law abiding citizens cant.

    if you go to jail with a heroin adiction your put on a methadone course. if you go in as an alcohilic your refused alcohol, or weined off it in extream cases. If you go in as a smoker? your given tobbacco! Go Figure!

    Those inmates that smoke should be put on NRT. anyone found dealing in banned substances should be soliterized. then maybe the jails wouldnt fill up so quick coz people actually dont want to go there!

    I have been to prison and as far as I was concerned I gave up all rights as soon as I walked through the prison gates!

    The point is:- How can they justify banning and fining free people from smoking when they are enjoying themselves,then allowing people who are being punished to smoke where they want to!

    Correct me if I am wrong but prisons are enclosed aren't they.They are a working environment(warders etc.) are they not?Then the rules should apply to them as well, no argument,finito,end of!!!!

    The French people had the right idea,when this law was tried there everyone ignored it and the government did nothing about it.

    Imagine this 10.30 down the Big Market bloke walks into pub and tells somebody they can't smoke and they are going to get fined,well I wouldn't put much on his life expectancy would you? There aren't enough Police to enforce this law they haven't got enough to catch burglars,rapists or murderers but then again theres no money to be found in catching those people :angry:

  9. i dunno if i'm the only one, but has anyone else noticed how dead this forum has become? i was talking to barlass tonight and she says she wont be back for the forseable future, so i ask this question...

    is it me?

    coz if it is, i'll gladly relinquish my moderating rights and return to being a regular of the board.

    Whilst i hope this isnt the case, i would hope the old regular posters will at least pm me with their board problems, if not make their own topic, as i think the old flow of the board made the forum what it was!. Thats one of the reasons i dont delete posts,and rather keep the main point of the origional post as much as i can.

    Anyways, i do hope if any of you have a problem with me, you will get in touch either via PM or on the board, as i'd hate to be the death of www.bedlington.co.uk!

    Regards,

    Mr Darn

    Not you Mr Darn,you're doing a sterling job,no its people who were in a little clique who thought the forum was for their own private use and got the hump when others joined in with different oppinions to their own cossetted world.If they don't like what is being said then voice an oppinion or just ignore them,you don't have to bite you know?

    Everyone is welcome here whatever your views or your crede!

    I bet multi-millionaire footballer Michael Owen will be heartbroken when he learns what an ignorant racist halfwit on a pit yakker town messageboard thinks of him.

    (He does read this board you know, although he reckons it isn't as good since Denzel stopped posting)
