I've got a feeling its a going to be a short lived romance. I may be wrong, but i cannot see it. How long does everyone feel this "pact" will last?

did anyone catch this Sky news tamtrum http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XHuZqyuIS8 Adam Boultan wet himself i think... im sure some kebabs will calm him back down.

Canadians invent partially invisible armoured car.

I used to use film and i have to say its still better than digital. But when a memory card can fit so many on it - photography is now in the age tommy gun lazy arsed shooters. Its easy and i do it myself. Shame really

Canon Rebel XS which is called something else in europe. its great. easy to use, and great on power.

So its as i thought they used to lowly bit to make the speed look faster to those not in the know. I mean it used to be a 56K modem but Kilobytes went out of fashion, the 2Mb broadband came in but whats that in kilobytes? it looks loads more but its 1024 bytes in a Kilobyte right? So 56k=57443bits , and 2Mb=1024x1024=about 18 times faster than dial up.? I knew that GCSE in computer studies would come in handy. These as every one knows are only best speeds. They never happen. Fibre optics the way ahead i hear.

You know what maybe it was 10Mb line come to think of it. I thought it was rapid compared to what i was used to. God a 100Mb line would be to fast?? I mean you could fire live HD down it easy and the rest.! I suppose ?

I had 100Mb/s in canada and it was great. it took well under 10 mins to download a 650MB file. I think it was aobut 8 minutes. It was registering over a Megabyte a second, Mb and MB confuse me

I was musing the other week., my cars computer said i averaged 23 mph over 1700 miles, now I thought, thats not much faster than a horse drawn carrage, perhaps. But then i thought of all the horses, all the looking after, driving to work over a big hill/mountain, and changed my mind. Bikes are better for short trips, and Im getting mine out. The UK should create more cycle paths, imagine if you could bike to newcastle without fear of getting squashed under a bus, would be great

Thats very sad news, R.I.P Joe

These are a few videos from an garage band called Relic that released a demo and played some gigs round bedlington on 1993-6.. you might see yourself on the vids from the Sun Inn,

I thought i was having a funny turn, but thats a snow effect- -yes its strange, we should get a rebait, i mean those facilities arent in walking distance.

You must be a connoisseur of fast food/mystery meat in a bap.

Im sure there'll be one here soon, however now i think about it , the fact it doesnt have one of these places I see as a good thing, How subway ever became popular i'll never understand. I left the UK for 5-6 years late 90's and remember I thought Subway was tasteless Shi**. Now people'll drive 8 miles to have one?? Making a sarnie yourself was never that hard was it?

I think I was being sarcastic ..

Shall we get a whip round going then

I remember a play park/basketball thing was built down from the pit heaps, if its still there, ive yet to see any kids using it, and no wonder - it was rubbish, who thought that would be a good idea, someone did. It wasnt , it was a half arsed attempt, spending a bit and then probably whinging that no one used it. If all the money thats been spent on pointless tat around Bedlington over the years the town could have had proper facilities years ago. Its a lack of ambition. I have no real hope that it will change,

I see what you mean. Ive been thinking about Bedlington and its spending sprees on local " Community " projects. Like the rehashing of the market place 10 years or so after it was done the last time. Imagine if that cash would have been spent on something people might actually want, or something that might bring people into Bedlington - you know, the things we have to travel too, like swim , play five aside football, hockey - instead we have/had a community drinking hole, that was cheap but well thats about it. Just Imagine if Bedlington had something that Morpeth,Ashington crammlington didnt have! But now we've got some new seats and a paving slabs

If it was run correctly in the first place it would have been fine, but it was run by people with no imagination. 78K a year?

Toby,,, your right theres no facilties in Bedlington , apart from the community centre which is just another drinking place really, I suggest you get a driving licence as soon as possible and leave,. I think this post was more concerned about the little Rat offspring who'd only pick a book up to hoi through your window

Ive said it before on here and ill say it again, these little bas***ds need sorting out, get a hold of the ring leader and administer some re education.

Thanks Very much. 35 today, had to work till late as its the end of the season and all the vehicles are comin g off the area. but now its time for a beer!

Causes of anger - Lack of imagination Lack of reason Frustration Lack of meaning Lack of exercise Too much LCL Lack of control Too much hot weather and bad diet

Remember that flood Boscastle had in 2004 , the BBC made a right meal out of it. I thought the village female vicar was on for her own mini series about how the flood had effected her guitar noodling and the stress her dog was under... less than 12 months later Carlisle was smashed under 10 foot of water and it got 2 mins on the news if it was lucky... saying that like... it is a dump

Bedlington - Ex mining town, been suffering with an identity crisis for 25 years, needs TLC and a good clean. Has lovely wooded areas a golf course and a pit heap hill, lots of empty pubs ( a few nice ones ) and a massive cop shop and court with a chav factory as an annex. Its got a TESCOS I like it
