i find the best way to discipline kids is if they do wrong just pin them down and burn there feet with a lighter this garentees best behavior

like the saying goes once burned twice shy

Isn't that "once bitten twice shy" but I get the gist works everywhere in the animal kingdom,so why not amongst us animals!

I hear the Guinness is good in the Market Tavern.

Of course, while you are in there your car will be clamped and Wansbeck District Council will steal all your money and give it to people in Ashington.

As you pass all the boarded-up shops on the way home you will reflect on what a great nation we have and how we should preserve it from "illegals" who will murder us in our beds and steal our place in the dole queue.

Having resolved to vote for the nice BNP candidate in the next election you will stride on, whistling a happy tune.

Whereupon you will be mown down by MissVic driving on the wrong side of the road. And you won't even be allowed to swear in the ambulance!

:lol: :lol: I like it :lol:

Happy Birthday People, home you have a good day !

Belated birthday greetings to you both

connie and the bartenders thru to the final!

i simply cant decide who my favorite is tho, the bartenders or the monkey guy...

Don't know about the bar-tenders,last nights show was poor I think.

Anyway you know who I want to win!

Ministers brought in a law 3 years ago that ststed if you smacked a child, and it left a mark, cut or bruise, you were in trouble.

now their going one step further and banning the smacking of children all together.

My view is the lack of punishment is the reason the world is the way it is today. i was kept in line as a youngster because of the "fear*" of being punnished. it was to the point where i had been smacked before, it hurt, and i diddnt want that to happen again. the 1-2-3 rule was in place to give me the chance to rectify what i was doing, and i can only remember 1 occasion where my dad got to 3, i was good from then on.

I now have this practice in place with my own children, and i have not got to 3 for a good few years. they know where they stand, and sure, they test the boundarys every once in a while, but if your consistent, it works.

Whats your opinion?

(* by fear i dont mean a physical fear which kept me up at night, just a waryness, caution, i cant think of the word that describes it!)

The Do-Gooders of this world have done for our society!

You will find that the most ardent of the anti-smacking brigade do not have children!

As for parents only hitting kids in anger Bulls**t!

Rewarding young people for mugging 'n' robbing with holidays............EH............!!

"Don't give him wrong,he didn't know it was wrong" Brigade!!!!!!!!!! He'll never know it's wrong till he's told it's wrong, then if he does it again a good hiding will remind him it's wrong!!!!

Bring back corporal punishment in schools,never got it myself,but it sure as hell kept me in line I knew what I would get if I hit a teacher or was good with a back answer or if I was getting too big for my boots!! I also knew that if I had got whacked at school I daren't tell my parents cos I'd get another one there, as Mr Darn says this was not lie in bed awake fear,it is about respect,and respect is earned not demanded.

The lads at school only ever went to the Headmaster once,this only after they had been told umpteen times that what they were doing was wrong,they never went back for seconds!

Enough of the rant

that would be the sun inn pub, although i dunno what that big red thing is! it looks like the garage down the station at the entrance to waverley ave... nice to see other pics appearing tho, this section may take off after all!

Big red thing is the once garage opposite the Market Tavern next to market place club.Can't think what it was called

Lost for words Joe,hang on in there mate you've got more friends than you think!

All the best to you and your family

Stu

To get out of trouble you don't always have to brake a quick burst of acceleration can be more effective than braking in some situations so this system is flawed from the start

Yes .She sang supercallyfragilisticexpalidoshus(is that spelt right )last night, great

lol, i dunno how either, i was so sure the little guy would get thru, what a beaming little smile that lad had, he'll go far regardless.

perhaps simon has his eye on him already? ...watch this space...

Dunno who the zebra was

well you all know where thats gone wdc's back pocket

Funny how joe public seems to know these things!

W.D.C. treat us all with contempt anyway

Hey all,

I missed last nights instalment, but i did see a recap of 'bubbles' on youtube.

That Michael Jackson impersonation is funny as hell!

Bubbles does Michael jackson

Whats your favorite bit?

Best bit of light entertainment for quite a while,the crotch grinder was a laugh,didn't know what to think of the rappin granny though best of all up to now was the bloke who was not blessed in the looks department singing,his voice is fantastic!

that wont work either, their not worth the paper their written on.

to get a waiver worth its salt you need to apply each case in court on an individual basis. if your practicing something dangerous then the organiser of that event is liable for your safety, waiver signed or not.

I used to have the"rights" on a N.W.M.(SITA)waste recovery site,one of the conditions was that I had to have Public Liability insurance to the tune of 2 million quid just in case some member of the public slipped an' fell in the skip an' broke his napper.This cost me 49 quid every month for the premium,don't know what the cost is now.Maybe this could get you round your problem.

Another point is that you don't put any signs up telling people of any dangers as this is an admission of guilt in a court of law!For you to put signs up you are letting people know that you already know that it is dangerous therefore you are liable if anything happens! I know this because I once suggested that we put signs up warning people to be careful when using the steps to the skips,and was told in no uncertain words by the safety officer not to do it because if anyone tripped all he had to do was point at the sign and say that we already knew it was unsafe because we put the signs up,if there were no signs up and anyone tripped then they would have to prove to a court that the steps were unsafe,so no signs were put up. Next time you visit the skips I bet you there are no signs up warning you of any dangers!

Sorry for prattling on jus thought I could help!

Now the Post Office.

Thankyou,been quite a few people saying he was never there,thought i was going senile because i remember going there as a kid and being terrified

"Plans to enhance Bedlington's Market Place:

An award-winning team has been drafted in to draw up plans to enhance Bedlington's 18th Century Market Place. Wansbeck Council has appointed Landscape Architects Ian White Associates (IWA) to develop outline proposals for a 21st Century make-over. IWA has a successful track record of enhancing market areas including Morpeth and Marygate at Berwick upon Tweed and has won national awards for its public realm and streetscape projects.

Members of the public will be able to see for themselves the progress so far at a special event where Bob Ferguson of IWA will host a presentation giving anyone interested a chance to find out more about the plans. The presentation, which is being held as part of National Architecture Week, will take place on Wednesday June 20th, at the Bedlington Community Centre, Front Street starting at 7.30pm.

Regeneration Portfolio Holder Councillor Alan Stewart, says: "The Council aspires to providing a high quality scheme and it is hoped that Bedlington will be added to the list of IWA award winning projects. We are very pleased to be working alongside IWA and I hope the public come along to the presentation to see for themselves the exciting changes that could be in store for what is a focal point in the town. Bedlington's tree-lined Front Street is one of the quaintest and most picturesque places in the area and enhancements to the Market Place can only help to regenerate the town even further."

So how much is this little lot going to cost,and(sorry to fetch this up yet again) wouldn't the money be better spent on something for the young people of our town!

wasn't there a scandal at the oval dentists! something about a ring of pedophiles or something!

Not the Oval. Henderson from the top end was mentioned,I think he was cleared but his business never recovered after that,just shows mud sticks!

Still on about Henderson didn't he have a practice opposite the job centre at one time before he moved further up on the opposite side?

Several years ago when I first started working for the organization that I work for now, I was informed that I would have to undergo a CIB check. Knowing that I did not have a criminal record I willingly filled in the necessary forms and they were sent off to whoever does these checks.

Two weeks later I was called into the Directors office and asked if I would like to change any of the information that I had given on the CIB form. I replyed saying "no why". I was then informed that my CIB check had revealed that I was guilty of fifty serious offences.

Knowing this was not true I protested and was eventually allowed to have an appointment with a Police Sergent involved in the checks.

I will say at this point that the Police Sergent was very courteous and polite gentleman. However when I was in his office he told me that he saw many people who disagreed with the results of their CIB check, he told me that people want to forget about their past ( he did not use the words that I have used but the meaning was the same.).

He told me that usually when he showed someone their photograph it usually came back to them. I said to him, show me my photograph, he replyed "in this case there is no photograph but we could tell from a DNA sample" I agreed to have a DNA sample taken but he told me that they did not have a DNA sample to match it against.

He finally suggested that a finger print test would prove if it was me or not as they did have finger print evidence. I agreed, had my finger prints taken and a week later I received a letter from the Police saying that I was not the person who had committed the offences. They did return the finger prints to me for me to destroy. One thing that was not in the letter was an apology.

The strange thing was that the person I was being accused of being shared the same sure name as me had a different date of birth and a different first name.

They assured me that the finger prints would not be kept by them and as I have stated they did return them to me for me to destroy.

Pete you can be damn sure your prints are still on file,you'd be a mug to think otherwise!

Be safe.

Not at all true! The Bedders CoT have no such powers, and are in reality just a nice old club of almost-near-retirement businessmen who meet up for a chin wag! They'd be happy to see almost any kind of shop but an empty one.

I speak as one who has never been a member personally, but has sometimes got so close to the action that it seems uncanny! :D

The real reason for the empty shops... oops, got to go to a chin wag - back soon!

Is it because the front street is owned by about three people and the rents for the shops are astronomical.

Also the people from London who now own the old Maxi Freeze shop are interested in buying the empty Somerfield shop to turn the ground floor into shops and the remaining floors into appartments,as was planned for Maxi Freeze,

But due to parking and access problems at Maxi Freeze they decided to make the upstairs into offices.Though as yet I don't think they have had any interest in said offices.

If I hear of any further developments I'll let you know,golf courses are wonderful places you know!!!

Wey it`s a big place,so i suppose there`s room for all of them

One thing thats missing from Bedlington................ Charity shops!

Oh and somwhere decent to shop!

Yawn !*!@# Yawn Who cares

Cympil reminds me of someone Pete, is it this?

I'll tell you a story that is sure to please,

Of a great farting contest at Burton-on-Tees

Where all the best arses paraded the field,

To compete in a contest for various shields.

Some tighten their arses and fart up the scale,

To compete for a cup and a gallon of ale.

While others whose arses are biggest and strongest,

Compete in the section for loudest and longest.

Now this years event had drawn quite a large crowd,

And the betting was even on Mrs. MacLeod.

For it had appeared in the evening edition,

That this lady's !*!@# was in perfect condition.

Now, old Mrs. Jones had a perfect backside,

Half a forest of hairs with a wart on each side.

And she fancied her chances of winning with ease,

Having trained on a diet of cabbage and peas.

The Vicar arrived and ascended the stand,

And thus he addressed this remarkable band.

"The contest is on as is shown in the bills,

We've precluded the use of injections and pills."

Mrs. Bindle arrived amid roars of applause,

And promptly proceeded to pull off her drawers,

For though she'd no chance in the farting display,

She'd the prettiest bottom you'd see this day.

Now, young Mrs. Pothole was backed for a place,

Though she'd often been placed in the deepest disgrace

By dropping a fart that had beaten the organ,

And the poor Vicar, old Jonathon Morgan.

The ladies lined up at the signal to start,

And winning the toss, Mrs. Jones took first fart

The people around stood in silence and wonder,

While her wireless announced gale warnings and thunder.

Now, Mrs. MacLeod reckoned nothing of this,

She'd had some weak tea and was all wind and pride.

So she took up her place and her !*!@# opened wide,

But unluckily !*!@#... and was disqualified.

Then young Mrs. Pothole was called to the front,

And started by doing a wonderful stunt.

She took a deep breath and clenching her hands,

She blew the whole roof off the popular stands.

That left Mrs. Bindle, who shyly appeared,

And smiled at the clergy who lustily cheered.

And though it was reckoned her chances were small,

She let out a winner, outfarting them all.

With hands on her hips, she stood farting alone,

And the crowd stood amazed at the sweetness of tone.

And the clergy agreed without hindrance or pause,

And said, 'First, Mrs. Bindle... now pull up your drawers!'

But with muscles well tensed and legs full apart,

She started a final and glorious fart.

Beginning with 'Chopin' and ending with 'Wing'

She went right up the scale to 'God Save the King'.

She went to the rostrum with maidenly gait,

And took from the panel, a set of gold plate.

Then she turned to the Vicar with sweetness sublime

And smilingly said, 'Come up and see me some time!'

Here Miss Over Here Miss I'ts Me Miss.Miss Vic can you hear me Miss he's used the words farting and !*!@# why haven't you deleted this when you deleted mine Miss EH! EH! "OUCH" Miss I'm sorry Miss I didn't know he was teachers pet,yes miss I'll go to the corner Miss you won't hurt me will you Miss
