stu

Not sure Stu, I haven't seen them myself for a while.

cheers Pete,its been so long since I saw them I wasn't sure if I had imagined you could get them.A lot of the old stuff you took for granted just seems to disappear without trace.Proper milk bottles(the sweets) for instance.

On my days off, I drive for a bus company, usually school runs..Today I did a baths run, from Bedlington Station to Ashington baths..Now, I used to go to the station school, and the playground then seemed gigantic, seen it today, its so, so small, could hardly believe it..Dont things seem big when your a kid? Mars bars were twice the size, summers were hotter, and lasted forever, and when it snowed the snow lay for weeks..

Did anyone else go to that school, when Mrs Muter was there, And Miss Scott was the head mistress, Mr Gorman, Mrs Foreman

Which station school you on about?High school or another one?

The chocolate ones are best.

can you still get all the different flavours mint,orange etc never seen them in shops for a while,an I mean the biscuits before you start!

Did you read about the Bedlington 'gun' incident?!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/tyne/6687067.stm

Got bunnies in my allottment anyone got a gun,catty or some snares I could borrow?

no i seen them last year! no change? anyway do they melt the easter eggs down for the pensioners? cause i think its cruel making them suck there easter egg!!!!

Thought they were for kids! Also heard they were collecting for Blyth Lifeboat(that's money not easter eggs before anyone starts)

huffy *******

Whats this about then?

Well...since you ask..school days i was always likened to Ziggy Stardust then Chrissie Hynde...what you make of that then?

I don't need to visit this site,and there's no need for you folks to worry I know who I look like because I get told often enough, if that's not bad enough I also get asked for autograghs and photograghs which is embarrassing enough,especially when visiting garden centres people stare at me,got it yet.............no

Back in control of future

Was stuck in the system for a long time but got out about 10yrs ago hard to start with,cos at first you 'll think your better off on benefits but believe me you're not! Have faith and good luck!

JUst wondering if anyone off anywhere interesting this year.Or if anyone has any recommend's of places to go or visit.

i wouldn't know about that like? but you sure do????

Bet you wish the little fishies bit as hard as you

Hi Everyone!! Just a little message to say that the dun cow has new owners, angie and her daughter caroline. theres a party on sat nite and everyones welcome, it'll be a 1am finish and theres karaoke and buffet going to be on.

For those who are interested I will be there monday, tuesday, wednesday till about 8 if any of me long lost pals fancy a drink up there. we've been working loads to try and give it a spring clean and its looking fresh!!

Never mind new owners in the Dunn Coo.What I want to know:-Has the Ocean Palace got new owners, was ther last week an the food was absolutely stinking,chicken in curry wasn't cooked properly an rest of food was stone cold.Won't be going back!!

think theres some condition to the land or something so Ive been told.............the land was donated to them so therefore they cannot build anything on it apart from what is already there...................something like that anyway

Exactly.If for any reason anyone thought that the land could be built on do you seriously think there would be a golr course there today,absolutlely no chance.Wansbeck's policy if it can be sold for houses and a profit(with a little consideration for the back pocket)then sell it!Stuff the leisure facilities for the good people of Bedlington the council is based in Ashiton(no spelling mistake) so stuff them from ower the water!

Just watch The Sweeney instead. Much better.

Until it became P.C. The most fantastic cop show on the box> Just what this generation could do with. A good dose of Jack Reagan,instead of molly coddling the little shits!!

Hi all,

My father is a retired fishing enthusiast, and owns his own 31ft sea fishing pleasure boat.

unfortunately, my interest in sea fishing stops at the end of the pier, as i am violently seasick. the sea has to be like a millpond for me to go out.

this leaves my good dad in a predicament.

Basically, i'm looking for a few trustworthy people, who have an (outside) interest in sea fishing, to get in touch.

All i'm wanting is a few future good friends for my dad to take fishing, so he gets the chance to go out too. (due to common sence, he cannot go out alone),

we will supply rods, reels, line, life jacket, basic boat and radio handling training(in case of emergency) and a few hours fishing for the right 'applicants'(obviously just for free rental, not to keep!). all you need is something to lure them with, and £200 burial money.

Although the burial money was a joke, we have limited lures and sinkers, and we can supply them the first few times, but obviously this venture cant cost us any extra money, so we would prefer you supply your own.

For more information, please private message me, including a phone number and any other details you think i might need.

(the boat is moored at north Blyth, is 31ft with high sides and a wheelhouse for bad weather.(picture available) we have fish finders, GPS and ship to shore radio, as well as several life jackets. we also have basic cooking facilities, so a hot meal (lol) is available to budding chefs. get in touch, even if its just for a look!)

or, if you cant work out the message system, just leave a note on this thread and I'll contact you.

please remember, this is not a commercial fishing boat, its a pleasure fishing boat. No guarantees are made about fish catches, fishing times or locations, and unforeseeable events cancel trips all the time.

We do not fish in 'stupid' weather, but sometimes we can go as far as 20 miles + off, so make sure we know before you come aboard if you don't want to go that far out.

trips can last between 5 and 24 hours, but approximate times (to the hour) are given before each trip.(as we have to tell the harbour master what time we are expected back)

I know how you feel mate! My father had a coble at Newbiggin he tried taking me out many a time but I always ended up hanging over the side ground baiting!!!! Mill pond or not!

I love fishing but I go after trout now cos I couldn't find my sea legs and I never Will!
