RE: Anything and Everything - DanPicken - 16 Feb 2016
(15 Feb 2016, 9:26 pm)NK53 TKT My Great Aunty was discovered at her sheltered accommodation dead this morning by police from a presumed heart attack.
In other news I was awoken this morning at 2:33am by my Central London hotel fire alarm from someone smoking in the corridor. Someone was smoking on my train home too. (1N19)
My thoughts are with you NK53 TKT.
RE: Anything and Everything - BusLoverMum - 16 Feb 2016
(15 Feb 2016, 10:47 pm)Adrian Get yourself a BOFH one to replace it. It'll come in handy for all the tech faults on NEB.
Big'un wouldn't approve.

Now I have discovered that another one of my Great Aunty's is in a Cairns hospital with Pancriasitis, so she will miss out on her trip to Auckland, mind Cairns isn't a bad place to be stuck

Best of luck to them, but it's going to be another case of the Durham DLI in my opinion. Visitor numbers are so low that they can't justify in keeping it open, especially when their central government subsidy has been cut to the point that councils are forced to pick and choose what services to retain.
RE: Anything and Everything - Ambassador - 16 Feb 2016
I'd have thought the way forward for the DLI and Monkwearmouth would be to asset transfer it to a community group, it's worked very well for community centres in Gateshead which no longer receive funding.
The Community Group then becomes eligible for the thousands of available grants out there to support things, plus out of council control they can take on corporate sponsorship etc.
As for the DLI, there's a certain large University that could happily support it

There's a blast from the past!
Does he have Clifton, Srriva or Fyacbuk Polis helping him?
Just read his letter to Michael Portillo...
Kudos to the fella for trying.
I was there with the little Constantopolous's just before Christmas and apart from an older guy wandering about, we were the only visitors in the place.
The road layout and one-way system isn't any help (in my opinion) and with the regeneration of the area - I wonder if the council are best waiting until that is complete, before making a decision.
RE: Anything and Everything - omnicity4659 - 17 Feb 2016
I've visited the museum at Monkwearmouth a couple of times, both times I was the only person in....
Outside beside the railway line is quite a decent place for photographs though.
RE: Anything and Everything - Michael - 19 Feb 2016
So whats this deal the UK got in the EU?
Dave has said nothing about it.. whats involved?
Also whats this special status?, like normal, we've not been told what it is!.
How do we know if we should vote yes or no, if they aren't telling us!

Quick question for anyone who travels about on planes now and again...
I mighy be heading to Belfast in June, I dont have a passport, expired years ago.
I know for domestic flights Photo ID can be used, but I dont want a passport as I have no plans to go abroad anytime in the next few years.
I dont have a driving licence, but if possible I will put in for a provisional licence, would a provisional be enough to satisfy an airline or will I be best getting a passport

I flew internally with BA last year and went to Belfast with Stena Line from Cairnryan.
Not once was I asked for id. Despite having it.
Mind, I did check-in online with BA and only had hand luggage. Only had to show boarding pass at the obvious locations.
I would check with the airline and sewme what they suggest.

I think you have to go through the same rigmarole with a provisional license as a full license for the photo ID part, so I don't see why it wouldn't be valid.
I have neither a driving license nor a passport, either. Amazing how many pretty trivial operations don't seem to realise that possession of neither is compulsory.
