Cympil

I think like stephen says, It doesn't need to be a choice. We should be using the likes of Facebook to bring in the more casual net users. To be fair Cympil brought this up a while back but we didn't give it the attention it deserved.

Well it makes sense when you think about it. I actually heard someone tonight saying `have you got my Facebook`..what happened to `have you got my number`?

There`s so many people on Facebook now, it`s overtaken Myspace, Bebo etc..i think most of Bedlington probably uses it.

There`s a group just been created on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/inbox/?drop&ref=mb#/group.php?v=wall&ref=mf&gid=357775560373

For those of you with Facebook, there`s a video uploaded to the Facebook group http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=211442662151#/group.php?v=app_2392950137&gid=211442662151

There will be a video here on the forum shortly

:lol: There he is, the man himself.

Hey guys, the other person that put the group together, thanks very much for the support its really good!

And Threegee - if you class Millne Court as posh hooses then you are correct

You`re welcome It seems a very popular group, over 300 members the last time i checked!

There`s someone on there saying `A guy called matt from my kids school is switching the lights on, he works for the panto company in bedlington` Nooooooooooooo!!

Should we protest?

Hello Im one of the guys that started the facebook group trying to get tommy to turn on the lights just wanted to say thanks for the support!!

You`re welcome!

I wonder what Tommy would make of all this?

what has happened to the two mods mrs vic and hamburger pimp?

they should be demoted for not contributing to the forum!

They might be on holiday

Got my vote! I've contacted the relevant decision makers. Will keep you updated

Good one 4g

i concur, tommy the baldy bloke who drives an escort should do it this year, with Michael from the football club in tow.

Tommy the baldy bloke? Can`t say i`ve heard of him

Poll attached now..Get voting people

I see no poll. How do we vote?

I didn`t put a poll on, this is just what someone has put on Facebook

Out of curiousity, is there anyone in Bedlington that doesn`t know Tommy? Wherever you go, he`s there

Vote Tommy the egg man to turn on Bedlington Christmas lights!

OK guys, this year in Bedlington there is kind of a Christmas Festival.

On Thursday the 3rd of December the Bedlington christmas lights are being turned on (no info as to who by yet but im guessing either students or worse someone from Tesco!) at 5.30pm.

I feel the lights should not be switched on by someone no-one really knows, and should be switched on by someone famous.

Since I feel there will sadly be no A listers queuing up to flick the switch there IS a 'famous' person in Bedlington.

Someone you all know by sight, and most of you will know his name.

Someone who will have waved at you from the red lion roundabout or who will have said 'Hiya' as you walk past him on the street.

I am of course talking about Tommy the egg man.

I (and many others) feel this legend of a man deserves to turn the lights on in Bedlington.

So this is why this group has been created.

Please all join, leave messages of support on the wall and invite all your friends.

If Tommy does get the chance to turn the lights on because of this group we will all have made an old man very happy. :lol:
