75% of the Guardian taken-up with Thatch stuff this morning, plus a special pull-out section. I objected when there was a bit of a spread when Betty Windsor's old Mun croked, I'll go bonkers when they fill the paper with the life & times of Betty when she goes, but for some reason I didn't object to all the Thatch stuff this morning. I read every word and basked in the warm glow of my wide, wide grin. I read reports on the Beeb site that folks had street parties last night to celebrate ... any in Bedders? Perhaps one should be organised for next Wednesday.

Maggs - you obviously saw this in our beloved Guardian this morning, Steve Bell's latest:

GGGG - "I don't have an exact date for the older part but I'm digging." They're not that old surely?

"... the selfish who followed her spiteful rantings, and now their silly heirs ..." are still at it. On the same day she crokes the Bullingdon elite trigger the grab for the crutches and wheelchairs of the disabled under the guise of suggesting that these benefit claimants are involved in some sort of Philpottian plot. Same old Tories. I hope that the kids of today are influenced by stories of Tory behaviour towards the weak and how their Blitzkrieg across the industrial North wrecked lives and communities. GGG, you know fine well this isn't "... ultra-left propaganda ...", just go to any high street in any 'old' industrial community to see her legacy; it really wasn't the NUM, GMB, Aslef, and a host of other Unions who did the distruction - they NEVER had the power to do it. Anyway, I felt so elated after hearing the news that I took the woof out for a walk on the beach, it was ESPECIALLY sunny and we both had a strange spring in our step ... Oh, the joy! Mods ... thanks for stitching the two threads together but I reckon the better Topic Title is mine.

"Really shabby Sym!" Not at all GGG. You can't pick and choose; surely you're not suggesting that when monsters get old they should be given a free pass. How about mourning, Pinochet, Franco, Pol Pot, Mao Zedong, Hirohito, Hess, and so on. "You also show an intolerance to the rights of countless millions of people who believe that what she did was very necessary to the survival and long-term well-being of our country." Guilty as charged ... the countless millions (???) of poor deluded souls did swallow that tainted bait and have gagged on the foul taste of it ever since. Of course, the selfish who followed her spiteful rantings, and now their silly heirs must be distraught, but for all 'right-thinking' folks the Sun is burning really brightly today.

I'VE JUST BEEN ON THE HOTLINE TO LUCIFER AND HE'S MAKING SURE THE FIRES ARE WELL STOKED FOR HER ARRIVAL. HE TOLD ME HE IS GETTING THE COALS FROM ONE OF THE PITS SHE CLOSED (HE CAN MINE FROM BELOW YOU KNOW) AND HAS NOW PLENTY OF STOCK TO ENSURE SHE BURNS FOR ETERNITY. I HAVE RESERVED SEATS UP HERE FOR ARTHUR SCARGILL AND TONY BENN FOR WHEN THEY ARRIVE IN THE FUTURE SO THEY CAN BASK IN THE GLOW; MICHAEL FOOT HAS ALREADY TAKEN ONE OF THE FRONT SEATS. LET THE SHOW BEGIN.

I said elsewhere on the Forum just a moment ago, "Rejoice, Rejoice, Rejoice! Off to Hell she goes. Poo, you beat me to the post by seconds Maggs.

Rejoice, Rejoice, Rejoice!

Yep, and look what happened at Chelski. For more info look at the David Miliband thread.
-
Picture just in from Stamford Bridge showing the mackems lining-up before kickoff. Our correspondent at the match reports the final score to be Chelski 2 - mackemAfrikaCorps 1 Herr Flik di Canio stormed into the press conference and blamed the result on a global Geordie conspiracy and threatened to send his stormtroopers to the Toon to round-up all the Geordies. However, Sir Winston Pardew told reporters that we would fight them on the landing grounds, and on the beaches, we would fight them in the hedgerows and on the hallowed turf of the Toon, we would never surrender.
-
I was "... born NORTH of the Tyne and within 'hockle'in distance' of the river." Even those from further afield know the value of supporting the Toon and are welcomed into the fold, unlike the inbreds from that little redbrick village down the coast who crawl in ever decreasing numbers to that prefab built on top of the pit at the mouth of that polluted stream. Stop, stop, stop with this now Sym. The Toon - a global entity!
-
The definition of a true Geordie is someone born NORTH of the Tyne and within 'hockle'in distance' of the river.

Thatcher, or as I like to call her - that evil monster Thatch - did con TWC into loading themselves with debt and stiffing local communities of affordable housing stock. Yep, I refer to that scam where many of TWC were encouraged to take-out morgages to buy Council owned houses; obviously, with these monthly outgoings TWC couldn't risk going on strike for better conditions as "their home would be at risk if they didn't keep-up the payments". You've got to had it to the evil witch ... gelding many in TWC at a stroke ... brilliant! However, what are we left with ... little affordable housing stock for youngsters. Yes, she did change attitudes ... she created me, mine, sod the rest and her heirs are still at it. However, there nothing worse than TWC thinking the sun shines out of her ar*e ... class traitors the lot.

All this is great fun ... I'm really enjoying myself. Up the Toon

The mackem's new Director of Communications, Dr Joey Goebells, today told a press conference that their new manager Herr Paolo di Canio was not a Facist.

Photos just in from our spy operating in deep cover in the 'dark place'. Our spy is working in very difficult circumstances - it's very hard for him to blend in as all the locals have three ears and webbed hands and feet. The first photo is of the re-modelling work currently being carried out on the stadium of plight and the second photo is of the training session this morning.
-
Obviously, this is not meant to suggest that the models in the picture represent any real persons but merely a humorous comment on what's happening at the 'dark side'. It's a bit like the story of a load on toxic waste (including low-grade nuclear stuff) being dumped down the Monkwearmouth pit just before the place was closed then that prefab was built over the top to seal the glowing waste below; reports of leakage have been denied by the local town council. Oh, the waste story IS true.

Here's a picture of a mackem training session:
-
Agh ... they're crawling out from everywhere! That's three of them so far.
-
Now, now, Mal, just because we've flushed you out, no need to lash-out blindly at the beloved Toon. There always is a place at the Toon's top-table for those who inhabit the stadium of plight ... under it snuffling for scraps. It's just as well that the mackems aren't playing in Euro competitions ... just imagine the headlines if they were drawn against a team in Poland for a match in September. Of course, all this is meant as joshing between friends and not to be taken too seriously.

Phew ... thank goodness my brain isn't turning to mush and that I wasn't mistaken about this depot. I know that post-war and cold-war there were stategic depots all over the place and maybe ours was there for easy access to Blyth (port, power station, pits, etc). During the cold-war the Peelers did exercises called Mobile Columns so they'd be ready for 'when the balloon went up'. The Mobile Columns consisted of troops under the control of the Peelers and were area or regionally based and with access to local depots for their vehicles and other tackle - I was told that our depot was one of these. These MCs had a book of regulations (called the Blue Book) so they could, under the emergency powers, deal with the civilian population; they could extract immediate punishments, including death by firing squad. I don't know how much of this stuff is still officially secret but, if you don't hear from me again you'll know I've had the 4am knock and have been lifted. Poor old Sym - electrodes on the nuts ... ZZZZZZZZZ ... until I talk. I'll break, and give-up Mal as being a traitor (a mackem).
-
I don't know what's more shocking: Miliband quitting that job at the stadiumofsxxxe to go and work with that war criminal Henry Kissinger over at International Rescue (a front for the Yankies CIA) or Mal coming out of the closet. Shame on you Mal. Shame Leni Riefenstahl is dead ... she could have had the contract to run the mackemscum TV station. Up the Toon for ever.

I've just had a look at that senrug website ... once I'd waded through the cobwebs I checked-out their latest newsletter (Dec '12) and plans are still active. The website needs updating 'cos when you look at it nothing is recent about the Bedder's route.
-
"Cambois up beside wembley" - I don't know what this means. "Mk1 polytunnels." - poo! Maggs - not as far up as Boulmer ... I'm sure they were near Sleekburn.
-
I remember a Depot (War Office or Min of Defense) that overlooked the coast somewhere North of Bedders (maybe between Cambois & Cresswell ???) back in the 60s. Big site with a very high barbed-wire fence and monster green buildings - sort of giant Nissen huts. Can anybody confirm? Obviously there's nothing on current OS maps.
