Where he is laughing and a couple of players are lying flat out on the deck
Anyone know if three is a copy kicking about on the net

In addition there is a black & White of a gadgie walking along a road in a mac and flat cap with the steel works in the background, anyone know if this can be bought anywhere?

Here's one of them.

Is that the road down to the Steelworks Bridge?? Canny windy that day, like.

I have that as my desktop on my PC

I think that photo is as depressing as fuck.

So where is this at in our town?

and what does it look like now a days?

dunno mate, but I guarantee it looks a lot less depressing now.

I think it looks the business like. Where can I get a print?

from a printer

That photo is a great shot of our industrial heritage. It is Greatham Street I think...

Ah yes, the beautiful Wagga Moon

Around the same era, you might like the film, Waiting for Work, now at

It looks like it could belong on a cover of a Pink Floyd, or depressing Don Henley album.

If it wasn't for all the industry in the background i would of thought it was a photo of the crowd making their way to a Darlo game.

This has been used as an album cover, can't remember the name of the band (American/Canadian youngish rockish no Hartlepool connection as far as I can remember) anybody know the one I'm on about?

The photo is by Don McCullin and there's one for sale here - http://www.artnet.com/Galleries/Artwork ... artnet.com
"contact gallery for price" yeah, right.

That industrial heritage is part of the reason Hartlepool has such a bad name these days.

Even though, generally, the town looks a million times better now, outsiders still think the place looks like that.

Its grim up North.

why the hell would you pay him to get you on when there are loads of sites you can upload the image to and get a canvas print

Theft is theft and perhaps, just maybe, someone may want to buy an origonal piece by the photographer?

h. t .h

Got there before me mr Talbot - this thou shalt not pay for bugger all because I can rob it for free off the Internet attitude boils my pi.s
The guy is a small business does it not seem unfair mr compo that you are wanting to do this guy out of his livelihood?

I agree, and i never ever download songs or filums off the internet too me!

Fair enough I will ask him for a price if its a lot more than a canvas from a website I wont be buying it for him.

Kipper I am not doing him out of his livelihood most photographers I know do it as an interest and a bit of extra money on the side. Also I bet you have a image on your wallpaper on you pc that you didnt pay for so you a part of theis "rob it for free attitude" your so angry about.

I agree with the tounge in cheek comment from Pubey, anyone who said they havent listened to a down loaded song or watched a film downloaded for nothing is a liar.

I'm sure his business wont implode compo cos you have that pic on your desktop at home.

I haven't and I'm not a liar.

Hoping to God that helps with your education and stops you trying to justify your own thieving ways.

i am a thief and proud, i downlaod music and filums everyday.

End of thread.

p.s. not that its even illegal, no harm in sharing a file online.

My nana and Grandad never did, I can vouch for that

I ment people of "our" generation with access to the internet, media outlets etc.

I refuse to believe anyone under the age of 50 hasnt watched a "hookey" DVD or listened to a track either of their own ipod or a friends.

Believe what you like.

But you're wrong.

Why did he get sent down then?

Interesting. Yet you wanted someone hung drawn and quarered for dropping someone off at a bus stop.

Do as I say and not as I do eh?

And also thought it was ok for someone to be fined for not having their little doggy on the lead.

Ah yes. Well well well.

if you pay for music n films you should be fined for being a doyle when you can get them for nowt online using torrent sites.

FACT!

:)

Yes and I stand by that, me downloading music doesnt cause a danger or obstruction to anyone we as the above does, if i got caught and fined for downloading music I would hold my hands up and pay it not go winging to the mail saying I have been hard done by.

you can fly wow

What about the criminal record, how would you deal with that?

Like everyone else who has one.

So by your accounts everyone that has an ipod is a theif?

No, just a (unt.

Where did I say that?

Assuming that you meant "thief" I would also assume that you're about as bright as night making a comment like that.

I am fairly certain you said he deserved to be fined because, and I quote, " rules are rules and he broke the rules". I dont recall you ever making it a health and safety issue.

But now you have broken the rules, I assume its no longer an offence to break the rules, unless there is a health and safety implication.

Changing the rules to suit yourself works for me like.

i'd say the opposite. Would be lost without my iphone and ipod.

you wouldnt like. You really wouldnt.

Would.

Really would.

No. You just think you would. I bet you one million pounds that you would not get lost if you didnt have an I phone and an I pod.

deal.

put my iphone away...

right now where the fook am i?

the same place you where before you put the phone away you muppet.

Anyway, last time that photo came up I plotted it on an old OS map, which was pretty easy since the map showed the blast furnaces, and came up with the answer Windermere Road (the wagga end, not the posh Foggy Furze end near where I once lived ).

maybe your right then.

Why doesn't someone use google street map to find what the area looks like nowadays?
