  1. Koast radio II

    in Talk of the Town

    Posted

    I can only hope the output of your radio station is more tangible than your efforts on here. And I mean tangible in every sense of the word ;-)

    Not sure if i`m missing something here, but i can`t find any posts where Monsta mentions having a radio station?

    I can find a post where he asked about Vicky`s radio background (which no-one seems to be able to find)

    Hopefully, Vicky will appear soon to answer that one.

  5. Poker Night?

    in Chat Central

    Posted

    I don't think blatantly putting down the town and all suggestions to make it even slightly better is a good attitude for a moderator of the website portraying the town.

    In my opinion, you "sometimes" fit into that criteria, although to be fair to you, it seems you have turned a corner and started having a "Constructive" laugh there days, with a serious "well meant" side to your humour.

    Sure, some can take offence, but you do not seem to be too malicious in intent with your comments. I also feel you have an interest in bettering Bedlington as a whole, whereas Monsta seems to just want to nuke the place.

    I find Monstas comments to be degrading to the poster, the town and the website as a whole.

    That's my opinion, and it is given because it was asked for.

    My personal opinion is at this moment in time, you would do a much better job.

    As for a poker night, (getting back to the topic, this being TOTT and not Chat Central) Would anyone on the forum be interested in coming along?

    If so, What style would you like to see? and would you be willing to pay a small admission fee? or is free poker your thing?

    Does anyone know if small stake poker is allowed in pubs? or is this kind of gambling not covered by the entertainment license?

    Personally, i'd like to see a 9 person, texas hold-em style game, with a £5 buy in.

    £25 to winner

    £10 to second place

    £5 to third.

    £5 to the pubs charity.

    What night would you be able to attend? (or possibly daytime...)

    A Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday or Sunday is good for me.

    I'll contact the Wharton and see if we can have their back room one night. This would rule out Mondays and Saturdays though, due to bar opening, and Darts Night.

    I`m not entirely sure if you should be encouraging gambling on here..maybe a different site would suit it better..Facebook maybe?

  8. 101 Reasons Not To Invest In Bedlington By Northumberland County Council

    in Talk of the Town

    Posted

    Here's a laugh for you, and a probable insight to the people running NCC. They have been employing a person to help find ways of saving money for NCC. Oooh! That's good I here you say! Well this guy is being paid ONE THOUSAND POUND a DAY and has been employed by NC COONCIL for EIGHT MONTH and is still on the payroll! You still laughing?

    I would do the job for £500 a day, and i could save them thousands. Sack HIM!

  9. Do They Know Something We Dont!?

    in Talk of the Town

    Posted

    Quite possibly, and in no way was i suggesting the Ashington site WAS to be used, just mentioning that was about the size of the site required by the home delivery team.

    It was mentioned in passing that most Netto stores in the area would be too small to be used for this purpose, and would most probably be turned into ASDA Living stores, with the rest being sold off.

    Burger King was mentioned for the Bedlington site and/or the Blyth and Ashington sites.

    Again, this is total speculation and hear-say.

    On another note, who was the first on this site to mention the Red Lion becoming a Wetherspoons?

    Top Club :D

    I think :unsure:

  14. Synergy Fm

    in Talk of the Town

    Posted

    We discussed the internet radio idea a while ago & decided we didn`t want Synergy to begin life as a souless automated, impersonal music station like many others. Music will be an important part of our output. But just as important will be the open, community participation aspect.

    Also, done properly, stand alone Internet Radio is not cheap & is also a nightmare to administer. When we do an RSL it becomes much easier: it has a one off fee for the length of the licence.

    Happily the Govt. has recently made it clear that FM is not going to be turned off for community broadcasters. The Metro radio`s etc of this world will lose it only when 52% or more of the country has bought a digital set.

    Many thanks for the suggestions. Keep `em coming!

    I`ve just been reading about a radio station `Koast FM` who own studio premises in Bedlington. Are you aware of this? They`ve just `secured a £10,000 grant from a national funding body to help pay studio and equipment costs, and expects to receive a further £20,000 to £25,000 in the next couple of months` and `West Bedlington Town Council has donated £500`

    Is SNRG associated with Koast FM? If not, looks like someone has got in first! :angry:

    Hello, does anyone know the details for E.Bed or Sleekburn Parish Council.Where do they meet and who are the councillers? Do they publish their minutes or meetinggs,and if yes,where? I cant seem to find any info about them only North Bedlington, CHoppington etc. Do they still operate or havethey been disbanded. The county council person I spoke to,referred me to their website, when I eventually got it to work, it didnt actually give you any infomation, a phone number was unobtainable. Thnks

    The councillor for East Bedlington is Valerie Tyler

    Councillor for Sleekburn is Jeff Gobin

    You should find all the info there, including telephone numbers, email address`s etc.If you look to the left hand side, you`ll see links for viewing meetings and minutes too :)

    Yes he is not wrong, there was a slaughter house down there and the metal dishes were visable sometimes still had blood in them. The slaughter house was to the left of the path as you walked down to the point.
