Shear delight MR ROEDER

Ah like it colonel Never mind the bines give me a good roll up an lets have a good coufgh or is it cough, these tabs make me brain deed.

Same day if he was going back to Liverpool, at least thats how I interpred the alleged comments by the Swede in the newspaper.

I can understand people that don't smoke wanting a smoking ban as smoking is harnfull but as a smoker myself I get XXXXX off (dont want to use swear words) by people who tell me that I should not smoke. I listened to a program on the local radio tonight (not radio Newcastle) and the commentator said that all smokers agree that it would help them to stop smoking if there was a total ban on smoking, well I totaly dissagree with his comments, I smoke because I want to smoke. Many times I have noticed cars parked with their engins running pumping toxic smoke into the air while their owners have just niped into the shop, (I am not reffering to Bedlington) but never hear anyone complain about that, bus stations with bus engines running, thick diesel fumes in the air nobody complains about that. I have never heard the Goverment complain about the amount of tax they take from the smokers. All people have rights, smokers and none smokers.

Didn't take the furniture van long to get there and get him moved, as seen on the BBC news tonight. Glad to see the back of him. Bring back King KEV

Come on Mr Denzel a wanna hear the rest, its a bit like waiting for the next episode of Dr Who.

According to the board statistics its Denzel's Birthday, so Happy Birthday, have a drink on me.

At least the Toon won, no banana skin after all.

Can anybody tell me how Bedlington Terriers got on against AFC Sudbury in the FA Vase.

Nto spelin Beer man

I didn't follow the path you took but I do recall the first time I had a pint it was in the Clayton I had a pint of Charingtons bitter it cost one and thrupence in the old money, I was nearly eighteen then. It was Fedaration bitter in the clubs and Vauxes in the Railway most of the other pubs sold Newcastle ordinary or exibition, I think the Monkey was a Charingtons pub then. dont remember any larger in those days except Carling Black label which as I recall was considered a ladies drink. Did have a Cider phase it was a bit like drinking pop but it had a kick. Ah the magic Newcastle exibition made me do things I would not have done without a pint of the lovely stuff, wake up the next morning just wanting to forget what I did the night before. I stick to Guinness these days, love the stuff. Pete

The beers not much better, Pete

Al have a few of each please, Pete

I agree with you Gary, but a lot of the problems could be solved by the breweries if they would put their hands in their pockets and install good extraction fans in their pubs. This would make the enviroment better for none smokers and smokers, after all they charge enough for the beer. Pete

Can't remember last night so it must have been good, Happy New Year. Pete

A Merry Christmas to all and have a fantastic New Year Pete

No, quicker than that. Pete

Aker Bilk played there in the sixties, must admit I have never heard of him for years. Pete

I was in Bedlington over the weekend visiting relatives, saw one christmas light hanging off a lamp post at Bedlington station. Pete

I did think that it was called the Wallaw at one time, used to have a Tuesday morning matanee 6d to get in. The tute, you could get a tab and a match for 2d from the tute when we were kids, if it was cold they had a big roaring fire in there. Moscies billiard hall was a favourite haunt. Pete

There you go, I did say it was a long time ago but I do recall Aker Bilk playing there, the Wallaw at Blyth that is. Pete

The last time I went there was to the pictures and a think it was called the Wallha then, (not sure if I spelt that right), I remember seeing The Ten Commandments there, it started at six had an intermission at eight and finished about ten. Pete

Does that include the Tax man? Pete

Moscies did a good cup of expresso coffee and hot vimto, they also had a juke box which was great. It always was full of people every time you went in, spent a lot of time there in the early sixties. Used to go in there on a Monday until it was time for the Clayton ballroom dance I think the Monday night dance was called The Teenagers. GREAT TIME.

Hi I am origanly from Bedlington but have lived in Leicester for the past 35 years, still miss the place and still visit. Does anyone remember YMCA and Moscies (not sure if I have spelt that correctly) Bedlington station.
