Try for yourself.

Heh,

Just seen this. 

Took the day off work as we had a hospital appointment and two doctors appointments for the kids. Not as glamorous these days unfortunately.

Thanks for the well wishes.

Personally I am an undecided voter based on the fact that I haven't read policies or manifestos. I am actively interested in politics and how it affects us at a local, national and international level but I also feel that I am a disillusioned voter at the same time.

This election seems to be more about vote against the people you don't want to get in rather than who you do.

I personally agree with a lot that UKIP has to offer but the way they are portrayed in the media seems to attract the mental ones. If they were able to disassociate from that then I think they would have more of a chance. Obviously easier said than done with national newspapers clearly having their favourite colour.

One comment I seen on Twitter that supports the fact that most people in the local area are indoctrinated into the ballot paper decision:

Tweet to Paul Nuttall after his visit to the Bedlington UKIP office:

"I don`t want to appear negative but, you could put a red rosette on a monkey up there and he/she`d win Good Luck"

People vote labour because it's all they have ever known, because that's what their Dad voted and their Dad after them and we're all taught to hate the tories because of the mine closures and Thatcher is a witch etc etc.

It's a mild form of social conditioning and people really need to start making their own minds up.

If you just watch Question Time, you have to take into account that certain parties are under represented and even then the gossip of neutral undecided voters who are actually politically associated with parties is rife and causes further disinterest.

*sigh*

On the leaflet drop that occurred yesterday, it seemed apparent that it was pre-empting the sale of the building to ARCH and that the agreement was in principle and nothing formally agreed.

Also seemed strange that not everyone in Bedlington received the leaflet. I certainly didn't get one!

This appeared to anger residents more than reassure and most people made reference to the coincidental timing. Seems NCC planned the delivery just in time for the protest.

Or did they.

This cropped up on Twitter on my 'Bedlington' filter.

Looks to me like desperation, as well as misleading, as it's not suggested that this was organised by the council but the Labour party. Call me cynical.

For those that couldn't make it, a few photos:

So this cropped up today.

Thoughts?

Moved this to Chat Central but left a link in friends and family also.

After thinking about this, I have experienced some blocky images on the 2nd TV using FreeView recently.

Can't remember which channels specifically but Quest is often on in an evening so that would make it SDN multiplex.

I just assumed it would be the kids messing about with the aerial.

Must just be up the posh end 

I've seen many a wing mirror come off down there. Many just drive off as if it didn't happen too.

This man was in charge of a legitimate organisation Brett, would it be right to advertise it on the forum if it was legitimate now.image.jpg

Depends how much he was offering to the moderators 

Just for clarity.

Any legitimate organisation can advertise here.

I need a drink after that.

If you go on to Land Registry Portal and zoom right in to the property/land where you want to view the details.

Then turn on Find Properties (this only becomes active when you zoom in far enough)

This allows you to select the area on the map and displays the results before for potential plots.

This tells you the address associated to the bit of land you selected and in this particular case it is freehold.

I would assume if it's free hold then the council can help.

Perhaps not my view however Former judge says rape conviction rates will not improve until 'women stop getting so drunk'

Surely this will reduce the amount of allegations classed as rape too.

Guess headphones are the answer Symptoms..

We had to sit through the Newport Jazz Festival on Christmas Day with our kids educating us on the impressive artists.

Seems our Christmas cd did not make the play list of acceptable listening.

Emile Sande drew the biggest groan.

Our Grandkids love 'Frozen' but that proved a big turn off for our children.

Emile sande is jazz?

Thanks for sharing Ovalteeny.

But that doesn't make it bad music as it appeals to someone 

On the other hand "Opinions are like bumholes.......everyone has one".

I'm not an avid fan of Morrissey but I don't mind the odd track.

Of course, the culturally gelded whippersnappers have little to draw on when attemping to make sense of the typical dirges served-up since the 80s. Wall-to-wall Morrisseyesque clones have been infecting the scene for a generation reducing cultural vigor to a trickle. The absence of any real 'greats' during the last half-lifetime has left us with a void being filled by the talentless disc-spinners and their William Topaz McGonagall like lyrics.

Surely that's all subjective.

For me music hold memories so my greats will vary greatly to other peoples.

Yes you will always have your widely acclaimed greats but that's a whole other conversation about the availability of music and how it is now digested.

When these so-called greats existed you only had music available in one format and you didn't have the array of music available to you so you tended to play the same record over and over from back to front. Albums weren't collections of songs they were a journey that took you from A-B throughout the duration.

The saturation and availability of music doesn't generate your 'greats' or does it?

Does it not just mean that because of the amount of music out there that there aren't as many people willing to brandish them in that way.

I personally love the fact that I can find any genre of music by pretty much any artists at the click of a button but that is due to my appreciation of different types of music.

I can go from listening to John Coltrane to Pink Floyd to Portico Quartet or Hidden Orchestra all in the same hour. 

Like I said it's subjective but just because you are not willing to accept that not everyone holds your esteemed artists as greats anymore doesn't make other people incorrect.

The war on drugs at 23 is amazing as well.

John Fulbright featured on a bbc4 documentary the other week which was all about country and western and the grande ole oprey.

Checked him out the next day and really liked.

Beck is another in that list worth checking.

First aid kit featured in the top 5 of bbc 6 music albums of 2014

Sorry Brett. Here being Sweden, where we are extremely proud of these two Girls. Tipped to be as big as ABBA. Enjoy the performance.

One of the places we had tickets for was in Oslo.

Here being?

Seen them once before and had tickets two other times but had to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances.

Really looking forward to it

ooooh thanks for reminding me about the Robert Plant one.

Seen them on Jools Holland the other week and forgot to mental note it.
