Pete

Seventy percent of kitchens in North America have a "Junk drawer"!

One car out of every 230 made was stolen last year

Well the Black Bridge is now at the vanguard of modern art; I applaud the bravery/stupidity of the gentleman who obviously took considerable effort to daub the words 'DENISE I LOVE YOU DAVID' [sic] in 6 foot white lettering.

The new Angel of the North with inscription, the band stand on Attlee park could be next.

Yep, it'll be a real chore having to walk outside.

Stop drinking Denzel then you wont have to walk outside, it ill be cold in the winter.

Only secondary Pete?, me too, not everyone has a knowledge of hermaphrodism.

To be honest Swalnalla I dont think I have ever heard of this hermaphrodism.

In Greek mythology, Hermaphroditus was the 'son' of Hermes and Aphroditus. My knowledge on the subject ends there.

My knowledge never started Denzel.

Bedlington is the new Pompeii; people are flocking here to look at the ruins of the Domino.

You could always sell them postcards of the Black bridge in its former days of course with the steam trains crossing or better still pot pit ponies. Ah good old Bedlington oppertunities abound.

I reckon it was people still suffering cold turkey from their new year's resolutions; they couldn't sleep so they came on here to find out about Bedlington.

Just seems a strang time in the morning for all of those people to be looking at Bedlington, has the tourist trade increased.

Alternatively the bairn could have a vagina yet still be able to park a car.

Having only had a secondery modern school education I feel some what lost on this debate.

You tease!

It was a rather reveiling period.

It's official the smoking ban comes into force next year.

Howay then Pete, tell us more about it!

You will have to sift through the history and gosip for more details, Denzel

According to the board statistics on Jan 9 2006, 12:52 AM there was 139 online users, as this was a Monday morning had we just come home from the pub or could we just not sleep or perhaps the Americans had discovered Bedlington, any ideas on this large number.

It can be quite weary walking home these days from the Railway........I may fall into the Percy

& never be seen again.....

The Railway commonly known as Creges (not sure about how it was spelt) in the fifties and sixties. Used to sell Vauxes beer, was always a popular pub had a discotheque there in the sixties, The lighting used the make your pint look like engine oil and your white shirt turned blue. The Percy used to be alright in them days, became very popular when there was some rather unusal ladies started working behind the bar.

It's Geordie colloquialism for men who have an hermaphroditic air about them. That lanky !*!@# out of Antony and the Johnsons is a good example.

Thank you kind sir's for your interpretation, but whats a hermaphroditic.

No problem I'v just looked it up in the dictioary, did'nt think that was possible ah well there some strang goings on these days.

Denzel is a heemahalf I have seen the mangina. Sometimes he/she calls it their shenis. But seriously, Denzel is a good person who likes to have the last word in the non tinternet world too!

What is a heemahalf? please enlighten.

Bloody hell. You didn't get put in the stocks as well did you?!

Twice Denzel, but I wasent considered worth investing in.

I not only had to move the coal but occasionally a couple of tons of horse !*!@# delivered to the door....lol

Ah yes I remember the horse muck and having to cart it to the bottom of the garden, also going with my grandad and collecting sheep muck from the fields for the leeks. Red ash from the pit heaps was another favourite for the garden although I don't know what good it did.

Memories of days gone by.

We used to go out in classes to pick them during the war. Of course we never got any money for them. They told us we were doing for the war effort. Now it would be seen as child abuse!

Joe.

Times have certainly Joe, I remember following the pit tractor and trailer (it used to be a horse and cart at one time) when they where delivering the coal to peoples houses, we would knock on the door and ask if we could put the coal in for them. We used to get anything from a shilling to two bob.

Ringtons tea was delivered by horse and cart as well even the ice cream man used come around at night with a horse and cart, I believe his name was Jacky Bell. Ah well that's another story.

Do any of you remember sabre-toothed tigers then?!

Never seen one of then Denzel but a did see a wooly mamath doon the hapney woods one day, mind you a had visited the Bank top before going there.

Unfortunately, I missed the programme but some clips can be seen here, not as good as the telly I suppose?

Looking through my bookmarks I find more here, Who remembers Delrosa

Delrosa, I rememder picking rose hips and getting 4d a pound for them at the chemists, it's surprising how many you had to pick to make up a pound. It was somthing that most kids did in the fifties to earn a few pennies, ah it brings back some good memories.

To be fair, if you'd said 'useless pile of !*!@#' it would've made a fine substitute for his name.

To be honest Denzel I dont swear but your right he has been crape what I'v seen of him this season, But I'v only seen the televised games.

Still got a feeling that the TOON could spring a supreise to night

Ah, Jean-Alain Boumsong.

Yes, that's the fellow, never could spell them French words

Who's he, our new South Korean recruit?

No him that got sent off yesterday.

Mystic Pete strikes again.

Ah well theres always next season or the season after or the season after.

Chelsea 6 0 Newcastle

Thank you Mr Boomsung

Howay then Pete, who will win the World Cup then?

Thats an easy one to predict Denzel. it will be one of the two teams that get to the FINAL.

Howay the Lads where gonna beat Livrtpool TODAY.

The lunatics have taken over the asylum.

Heres another prediction Bedlington terriers will win the FA Vase next season, you wait and see.
