Yes, all the shit pubs, barbers, takeaways, tattoo parlours and supermarkets have made Bedlington the place to be when it comes to Northumberland 'villages'. Step aside Bamburgh, there's a new kid in town. (I mean village).

'Villagey'?!

Who's seeing it in with a pint tomorrow?

He created Adam, stood back,  serveyed his work, scratched his head and said:

 

 

 

I'm sure I can do better than this! 

Because Adam needed his loincloth washed.

I must remember to start turning up for this.

Always wet your toothbrush folks.

Have ye been queuing ootside the building waiting to stock up?

Aye, I've only got 6,000 bog rolls left.

Has Tesco shut like?

I'm surprised no-one's complained yet.

They were poor yesterday mind. Relegation fodder.

I go to the Head Shed for a beard trim, they even pulled the hairs out of my bugle last week.

This morning we hear May asked if she knows what a mugwump is.  Now you or I (and maybe Corbyn and/or Farage) would have given an honest yes or no answer, but <groan> she gives the usual politician's diversionary "I only know that [insert current political buzzwords]".  Slippery politico we all think, and of course she is!  But it's is a pretty irrelevant question, and either a yes or no answer would have sparked off columns of garbage by the scribblers, and hours of TV "political discussion".  Her strategy was to kill off the dumb and irrelevant question.  The answer she gave is near instantly forgotten, and has minus zero news value.  Above all that IS her strategy in this election, because everyone else is doing her campaigning for her (particularly the EU apparatchiks).  All she needs to do is to present an image of competence and confidence and it's a landslide.  There are going to be no "bacon sarnie" moments for May this year!

Right on, brother.

Thanks Ex B.  Working almost fulltime, running the Town Council and trying to help out wherever.......  

 

Thanks Steve good luck.........  

Any chance you can embellish on this please @Malcolm Robinson?

I didn't vote for you by the way.

Dont worry @Eggy1948, I'll endeavour to do my best. I'll probably start in the time-honoured tradition with some serious door-canvassing around the Red House Farm area.

Or get to run for mayor of Bedlington.

I have a feeling that that's more a commentary on the people you heard it from than on the "few self-obsessed locals"!

Looking at some of the self-congratulatory rubbish on here I'm pleased I listened to their pleas and made my comeback.

I like to think of myself as the voice of the people, @Eggy1948

That does not sound good. Anyway were have you been all this time? Hope you have some exciting tales to tell.

Working, drinking and generally enjoying life Pete! I'd heard this place was now just a propaganda tool for a few self-obsessed locals so thought I'd pop by and rattle a few cages.

How about yourself?

Well Les I certainly hope it does survive, it employs over 100 people while the  Lidle stores I have been in seem to work on a skeleton staff.

I like  named brands that are not available at Lidle so I wont be doing much in the way of shopping at the new store. Morrisons or Asdas own savers  label; brands seem much cheaper than the unheard of foreign brands sold by Lidle. but I suppose it will suit some folk,

They do seem to have had a lot of bad press lately

Oh! I rushed to this thread thinking that we must have attracted a new estate agent or solicitor's office!  

Bedlington is crying out for a hairdressers.

Your both wrong,

Eddie Milne was the MP that wasn't quite whiter than white,In fact he was a load of crap just like todays MP. The house that you refer to was owned by Jimmy Milne a very respectable business man in the town, in fact he could be remembered as Mr Bedlington.Must get the facts right lads!!

What a truly santimonious response.
