  1. Yes but I'll save them for another day. How about :- So this teacher is teaching her junior school class, and she's telling them that the word of the day is 'contagious.' She asks if anyone can use this word in a sentence, and several people stick up their hands. "Carl," she says. Carl says, "My dad told me to stay away from kids with mumps,'cause they're contagious." "Very good," says the teacher. Then she picks Suzie, who says, "The atmosphere was contagious," and the teacher says, "Excellent, Suzie!" Then she notices that Little Johnny has his hand up, at the back of the class. "Yes, Johnny?" she says. Johnny says, "The other day, me and my dad's a-sittin around, and we saw our blonde neighbor painting her fence. She had a tiny little model car paintbrush, and she was going in tiny little strokes up and down the fence, and my dad says to me, "Jesus, it's gonna take that c**t ages to finish that fence."

  10. Lawrence Pattison updated the Facebook post on Bygone Bedlington :-'The Wheatsheaf was my Grandas pub until he got TB [my Mams Dad] .The pub was closed, 1938 or 39, after he died and was then converted into flats .My Grandma got a sweet shop at Bebside opposite the school just past the Asda roundabout.' No update on the 1950's for the date the pub was demolished.
  11. Uploaded and posted two photos in Bedlington Station 1st school album without any fails- the same two photos I have been attempting for the previous few days. need to find some more photos whilst the going is good! I would suspect that the system was reloaded/refreshed/restarted last night and the 'input areas' for uploading photos cleared out (or increased in size) allowing today's uploads to stored Ok. Off to find some more photos.

  15. Snap :- Great Britain's Adam Peaty qualified easily for Sunday's 100m breaststroke final having earlier broken his own world record. The 21-year-old qualified fastest in 57.62 seconds as he aims to become the first British male to win an individual Olympic swimming gold since 1988.
  16. This is true. I used to work in a team of blokes and we often encountered problems (opportunities really ), especially when installing upgraded software/firmware to ICL large systems. One lad in the team once said - 'you lot are always creating problems, but I never appear to'. That's right, we said - 'you never do any of the upgrades!' and that kept him quiet and he remained (mmm perhaps we should have voted for him to exit) in that state for ever. I've created a database for community software error codes with the intention of applying the solutions to the codes. I need to find a few more to make it worthwhile.
  17. This morning at 07:54 successfully loaded a photo - Westrridge c1950 Class ?? -, that has, on approx 10 attempts, failed to load over the past 4 days, into the album 'Westridge School - End of term class photos' In my euphoria, (and confirming computer was plugged in) I switched to the album - Bedlington Station 1st School - and attempted to upload 'Class 4 1959-50 Mrs Patterson' - with the result Error 1S111/1. Why does the sun go on shining? Why does the sea rush to shore? Don'y they know it's the end of the world cos the Gallery doesn't love me anymore! Why does my heart go on beating Why do these eyes of mine cry Don't they know it's the end of the world It ended when you said Error 1S111/1.
