my go:

Got it

My go

I dont know where this one is!

Clue

Do Labour not have any seats in the West country?

Not any more I bet

it wants pulled down! you could fit 4 cars on there!

Nah, if it's pulled down it'll become a hairdressers, solicitors or takeaway

I wonder how many of you there are that were raised in the old rows by doctor pit? I know they have all been torn down last time i visited i could barely find my way from the top end to where they would have been the changes amazed me but i guess that is what time and technolgy do they just keep moving forward

Lived in North Terrace from late 1976 ish till 1988, loved it cos it was when kids were allowed to be kids, kept being chased from the coalhouse rooftops, camping out in the shelters. Was a sad time when they pulled them down.

what has darling got against cider drinkers? 10% rise while alci pops and others are only hit by a 2% rise!

Seeing as it's made from apples, surely it should count as one of your 5 a day

Tommy the eggman remains elusive

That's about what "the books" say Andy. But in the end it's speculation; there's no real evidence anywhere anyone seems to be aware of. Bit like William Shakespeare really; but don't let the S on A tourist trade hear you say that!

The Michael Longridge history is far better documented, and more socially relevant. But, guess what happened to the heritage he left the town?

GGG

I asked on here when it was the 'old'* site, and really can't remember who it was who said it. So can't remember if it was quoted what they said, or where the info was from.

* About 12-13 years ago

I remember asking something similar years ago, can't remember the exact details but from what I do remember, it's history has something to do with the saying "pay on the nail". Don't know if this was truth or not however.

If anyone can enlighten I for one would be interest to know (again, cos me memory is lousy)

My vote is for slow drivers who think it's acceptable to drive at 15mph in normal conditions when it's perfectly safe to drive nearer the limit or the (and this is directed to Nissan Micra's in general) Nissan Micra (oddly enough it's always the old shape ones) doing 40 mph, normally on single national speed limit roads or dual carriageways, to profile them even more it's nearly always an old person.

I'm not a speed freak and adhere to 30mph or below where indicated, but it's more on roads where a higher speed is not only indicated but is less of a danger when you don't have someone crawling along at much less than the indicated lawful maximum.

Let the flames begin...

// Sample code only, needs exception handlers

ttd order_pizza( char* delAddr, enum pizzType, int pizzSize=8, int pizzTopping=NONE );

if (order_pizza( dadd, ptyp, psiz, ptop) > 45) {
 	cancel_pizza();
 	order_fishnchips( dadd);
 	post_message( "The Bedlington Consumer", "Slow Service!", comptxt*);
}
else post_message( "The Bedlington Consumer", "Good Service!", praisetxt*);
while (eating) {
 	poll_chat();
}

Ha ha, show off

The question was who is going to be not who do you want to be

I have one thing to say in favour of X-Factor getting the number one's over the years, they've put Cliff Richard out of the running

Is there an order_a_pizza method yet?

Suggested prototype:

yumminess order_pizza( pizzType, pizzSize, pizzTopping, delAddr); 

Just starting work on a fist draft of htpdl: -- Hypertext Pizza Description Language

Hmm would need an entry for TTD (Time_to_delivery) most times are quoted as 45mins to an hour, any deviation from this may upset the function

Oh I hope its not another restaurant. We need a few more shops something of interest for the front street. Its just not worth venturing down the street for a shopping trip as theres only banks or estate agents windows to look in. I really will be didappointed if its another eating place.

Agreed, ironic isn't it we have loads of estate agents + solicitors if you're buying a house, but Bedlington has nothing to offer to make you want to buy a house=conundrum to solve

Your starter for ten. Name them all! :D

Cheating but, http://www.google.co...lient=firefox-a

Is the whole browser freezing? excuse the pun, or just the snow? Certain things will cause the snow to stop in it's tracks in Firefox but it shouldn't crash the whole browser.

Ain't Mozilla, I've just tried every option and mines fine.

Pointless post? not a chance!

A Good set of points there!

Just goes to show alcohol can sway my brain when drank in the right quantities

You might enjoy this weeks horizon then. Looking at how many people Earth can sustain.

Gotta love Sky broadband, 1.27 GB in 13 minutes

I know it's all repeats but are there any shows that you are looking forward to over the festive season?

For me its not xmas till I've seen A Xmas Carol, any or all of them! Then there is the World Championship of Darts over the New Year, fantastic!

Anything David Attenbrough does, the recent series Life on BBC (currently watchable on iplayer).

I started a thread about a week ago about the mass exodus of business from Bedders and the state in which it has left our beloved front street - Starting with; Elliots garage, Johnsons shoe shop, the red lion, the 'mortgage' shop, the old schopol, dun cow - need I go on? I checked with the office of national statistics this morning and it is now officially the biggest peacetime evacuation in UK history!

Anyway, I thought I would try to inspire someone to take the plunge with a new business by asking everyone what they want in Bedders?

But wanting a business isn't enough... We cannot just have these businesses set up just to stop the street looking like a scene from a spaghetti western... we must USE them - otherwise they will simply go bust like a lot of their predecessors.

So, lets inspire the someone to take the plunge and set up a business we would all use... collect some views and ideas on what you would 1) like to see and 2) would use regularly?

Hi Jim, this is one I have been wondering for a while and started a topic 2 years ago almost to the day http://www.bedlingto...__1entry16482

You can't see anything for dust when the businesses open and close almost like a revolving door, new business success can be measured in weeks in Bedders, Donna's clothes, Wedding shop. Although there are the exceptions, the dog grooming place is one. It seems unless you are a estate agent, hairdresser, solicitor or takeaway then your success is limited. Although big congrats to the ones who have made it, a third barbers wouldn't have been an obvious choice.

they may look similar but thats were it stops! and xp had nothing to do with millenium? your thinking of windows 2000, millenium was just tarted up 98!

no it wasn't it was terrible!

Have to disagree, Win98 was bad, 98SE was miles better, Millenium was a poor attempt at an April fools joke, Windows 2000 was the launchpad to get people off 16 bit software and onto meatier systems and taking responsibility for permissions, then in the background a pesky little penguin was gaining ground in the free legal market although diversified into different distros, some were popular some weren't.

Have used desktop OS's from Dos up to WIndows 7 with MS, and have tried almost every flavour of Linux (anyone else used to order from polo.demon.co.uk/emporium ?) Suse was ok, Mandrake was resource hungry (although could have been my machine) and then Ubuntu came from nowhere and now lives happily as my main OS of choice, I rarely boot into MS unless I am testing something for work.

/end of pointless post

Must not like mine, snow goes in opposite direction, or am I missing something ?

And now it follows the mouse ?? Gotta admit, using Firefox on Ubuntu though. But I swear one time it was repelling the flakes then a refresh it attracts the flakes. Not complaining, it ain't broke don't fix it

Especially the snow! the kids love the fact it follows the mouse! lol
