Had a little wander round and was quite concerned about the change of name for the 'New Happy' on Chatham Road. I'd definitely think twice about eating anything from here!

Found myself n the other half, sitting outside a pub in Thornham Village in Norfolk, on the 2nd week of our UK roadtrip honeymoon, the odd thing is, this was the only time I have EVER drank a cup of coffee at a pub! Bloomin Google has stolen ny drinking credability. rage

You know that rumour about Paul Jewell being spotted near a popular betting establishment.

Well, it looks like there was truth to it afterall!

PJ_Poolie · **Posted:** Fri Mar 12, 2010 12:14 am

Well I'm happy he never got the job, the bloke is clearly mental. Walking around Throston suited and booted randomly applauding at sliver cars as if he's in a Premiership stadium.

He’d have just joined a long line of town ‘characters’ alongside Lawrence, Divvy Sharon and others of that ilk.

That's quite a coincidence for me actually, me being born in Chatham and there's a Chatham Road in Hartlepool. :grin:

So ordinary people (tourists and families) are getting harassed for taking photographs in public places under anti terror laws while Google have photographed all of the UK without limitation or permission from householders and uploaded it on the internet? Strikes me that terrorists/burglars will all have this on their favourites list!

Unfortunately, that's why trainspotting is declining as a hobby just because of the fear that if someone sees someone writing down train numbers etc, then it looks more suspicious now due to the climate of fear etc.

I think the longer time goes on and the world becomes more secure, people won't be so fearful of trainspotters at stations.

I have a feeling that the main decline in trainspotting as a hobby is down to numerous other reasons and not that one.

That is truly amazing. Mr Ripper was born in Sunderland and there's a Koont Street up there. :shock:

Also I was born in Hartlepool and until the commy's took over there was an Angel Faced Hunky Bloke With Huge Tackle Grove just near Little India. :grin:

The plot thickens. I had a bottle of Sol beer at lunchtime and they stuck a piece of fruit in the top. It was a slice of lime. Now you might think this is wierd but in Hartlepool isn't there a crescent of the same name?

There are lots of things that have made me fearful, however... the sight of some specky eyed, acne faced, anorak clad, social inadequate, clutching a tupperware box containing his sarnies, writing down assorted numbers on a cold platform conversing with like minded individuals and going into a state of orgasmic arousal and groaning loudly at the sight of a yet unlogged train coming into view fills me with something, but it aint fear.
