I'm so pleased for him!<br />I'm really here to apologise ....<br />it's a big apology I owe to Ian .... I'm supposed to be quite good at counting up to ten in my job , you know .... oh, dear ...<br />here goes - I was wrong about the number of AGMs the other day.<br />This is how it went in 2009 --- <br />the running order was<br />I The Keelman<br />II Tyneside Coffee Rooms<br />III Sunderland Winter Gardens<br />IV Birkheads<br />V Tanfield Railway<br />VI The Quayside/ Sage<br />VII Tynemouth Station Market<br />VIII Saltwell Park<br />IX St. Mary's, Gateshead<br />X The Biscuit Factory<br /><br />It all went rather well, don't you think?<br /><br />However, as you see, I was wrong! We haven't had the pleasure of XI yet!! We still have it to look forward to. I do sincerely apologise.<br /><br />Poor Frederick! He came to a nasty end, didn't he? And Nina, she seems to have had a colourful life. Sid, that was interesting!<br /><br /> I'd like to recommend Sunday Lunch at The Royal Oak in Medomsley. That's where we had a family gathering today, for my daughter's birthday ... the food and the service were brilliant. <br />Give it a try.Hildiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08859247954480595473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686549576418787314.post-41027126169357132792009-12-06T20:28:46.701+00:002009-12-06T20:28:46.701+00:00Well done Joe!!Well done Joe!!Sidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09274128902753553953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686549576418787314.post-3434462114330815182009-12-06T19:17:27.921+00:002009-12-06T19:17:27.921+00:00I was amazed to hear a couple of weeks ago that Ch...I was amazed to hear a couple of weeks ago that Chuck Berry had cancelled a tour of the UK due to ill health.

Well pin back yer ears...<br /><br />Nina and Frederick split up in 1969. Nina became famous in the United States in the early 1970's as the mistress of hoaxer Clifford Irving, who went to jail when his biography of Howard Hughes, allegedly written with Hughes co-operation, proved to be a fake.<br /><br />Frederick and his second wife were shot to death on board their yacht in the Phillipines on the 15th of May 1994. It is thought river pirates trying to steal the yacht was the cause. However, rumours allegedly (lovely word, and so very important) say that Fredericks drug dealings with cartels may have precipitated his death.<br />'Puff the Magic Dragon' will never be the same again...Sidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09274128902753553953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686549576418787314.post-719746665810490862009-12-06T10:18:28.864+00:002009-12-06T10:18:28.864+00:00Morning folks...
