  1. would a "Yes" / "No" system work better?

    Whereby you simply put a tick next to a candidate you WOULD like in, but a corss next to someone you really do not want to get in, if you do not have a preference.

    I.E:

    i may like candidate A and candidate B as a second. I may have no preference either way for Candidate C, but definatly DO NOT want candidate D in power, so i would put a 1 and 2 for A and B but cross candidate D.

    (this is in no way a polished idea, but an idea all the same)

    Would that work better?

    Also, DEFINATLY a "None of the above" box.

    I'd like the oppertunity to let those in charge know i do respect the vote, but simply do not want any of the above in power.

    What would happen if 80% of the voters voted "None of the Above" and is this why its not in place?

  2. Apparently it did help though!

    At the very least, it helped at chucking out time, as you could still get over the road for one last one in 'spoons.

    I heard takings were up (slightly) in the wharton, just the landlady has had enough.

    And when you've had enough, its time to go try something else!

  3. Before marriage:

    She : Hi

    He : Oh, I've been waiting for this ...

    She : You want me to go ?

    He : no, Not at all

    She : do you love me ?

    He : of course, big time

    She : you picked the wrong woman ??

    He : no, why do you say that ?

    She : you wanna kiss me ?

    He : every time I see you !!

    She : you wanna slap me ??

    He : are you crazy ? never

    She : can I trust you ?

    He : yes

    She : My love

    ...

    after marriage

    Read the same text upwards ...

  4. A senior citizen in Texas drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he pushed it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left. "Amazing," he thought as he flew down I-40, pushing the pedal even more.

    Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a Texas State Trooper, blue lights flashing and siren blaring. He floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120. Suddenly he thought, "What am I doing? I'm too old for this!"and pulled over to await the trooper's arrival.

    Pulling in behind him, the trooper got out of his vehicle and walked up to the Corvette. He looked at his watch, then said, "Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a new reason for speeding--a reason I've never before heard -- I'll let you go."

    The old gentleman paused then said: "Three years ago, my wife ran off with a Texas State Trooper. I thought you were bringing her back."

    "Have a good day, Sir," replied the trooper.

  5. If the fur is worn simply to keep warm, as in eskimo's etc then i don't see an issue with it at all. When its worn as a trophy, with the rest of the animal wasted, then i think this is wrong.

    If an animal must be killed, i don't see any reason why the whole of the animal should not be used.

    I suppose i'm doing my bit by eating sausages and hot dogs! (PLEASE don't remind me what's in them!)

    It was just meant as a joke though, and was re-iterated as it was told to me, without any internally hidden message intended.

  6. You reckon otherwise?

    i neither agree nor disagree with the statement referred too.

    Here's a challenge for you; without resorting to the very modern and rather twee conception of wearing fur being 'bad' that has been foisted on us by people who want us not to have our own opinions, can you tell me why wearing a fox fur hat is any more controversial than eating a lamb chop?

    Frankly, no, i cannot.

    I found it funny tho! :whistle:

  7. I'm no monarchist but I have great respect for the Queen, who must be the most dignified and respected figurehead of any country these days. She carries out what must be a pain in the !*!@# of a job very well and certainly sets an example.

    Dignified?

    Charles came to Bedlington a few years back wearing a very controversial "Fox-Fur" hat.

    Back in Balmoral, he was watching the news coverage with his mother, when she saw what he was wearing.

    "Whatever possessed One to wear such a Monstrosity Charles?" asked his mother

    "Why is was You Mother!"

    "One? One advised you to wear such a ridiculous hat?"

    "Of Course" Charlie replied... "Last week when i told you i was Visiting Bedlington... don't you remember?"

    "Not at all, One would never do such a thing. When did One suggest that?"

    "You Did Mother... When i said where i was going, i asked you what to wear, and i distinctly remember you saying 'Bedlington??!?!!? Wear the Fox Hat!!!??!?' "

  8. Still be interested to learn what ASDA are going to do with Nettos here, anyone?????

    I asked this question less than a week ago, and there has been no official word as to the final plans for the Netto chain through the stores usual channels.

    Having said that, the extension to Blyth store changed several times right up to the breaking of ground, so any early rumours could prove to be wrong anyway!

  9. That's cos nobody likes you where you live.

    No-one likes me in Bedders either!!! :P

    If anywhere is going to benefit I would guess it's going to be the place next door. The Grapes and Sun haven't changed, and the Tavern has just chopped its daytime hours. Mind you, nobody ever went in there in the day anyway. One good thing to come out of all this is that the brewery have bowed to the pressur eof competition and are giving the Grapes a full make-over in the new year.

    Result!

    I was thinking The Grapes was looking a bit 'tatty' last time i was in there, which is a shame, coz its a nice bar otherwise.

    Good staff and 'Interesting' punters.:whistle:

  10. I for one travel from surrounding towns to eat at wetherspoons. Before bedlington, i went to ashington, although not as regularly.

    On a weekend, Ashington was always on the cards when strapped for cash, because of 'spoons, but also because of the many clubs.

    'Spoons was a great place to meet, and have a sensible conversation, before moving on to livelier places, and was the main reason we went to ashington.

    Now, the nights out are in bedlington because most of "My Crowd" (If 2 people can be called a crowd! :P ) live there.

    I asked in the Wharton, and was told they were seeing a definite trade increase on a weekend??
