FAMOUS DEAD PEOPLE
Who buys the posters and framed pictures of dead movie stars and singers to put on their wall. Is it just the old people that do it. Isn't it about time that these pictures of Elvis, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Johnny Rotten were all laid to rest for good. I know someone, 'The Countess' who used to ...

METHANE GAS
Watched a programme on tv the other day that said that cows contribute to more global warming than all the cars in the world put together. I have heard this before and thought it was their fa*ting that was doing it. Apparently not, it is down to their burping and not the fa*ting. Can we not collect ...

Re: Interesting Approcah to tackling Global Warming
My view of global warming is that it can be contained in a fa rt, it stinks, then even that can cause global warming. Keep on fa rting I say.

Re: south palmerston street
I was born in this area in the early fifties and cant remember any one going round sharpening scissors and this photo looks to me to be a bit older than the 60s. Now I don't want to start a war but......... This photo was given to me by the photographer himself, George Wastell (sorry George I shoul...

Re: POLICE
A lot of time and a lot of effort but well worth it. There must be hundreds more photos out there to be collated and indexed and put on a data base. I encourage people to send me photos that I can add to my database. People are always looking for a particular photo but cannot always find it. A copy ...

Re: bruce
A guy called John Gaffney writes a column in the Shields Gazette about times gone by and sometimes mentions him. Was Bruce Allison a singer? If so John Gaffney has written about him and also a couple of photos of him have appeared on John's column in the Gazette. I have copies of them but they are ...

Re: south palmerston street
The knife and scissor sharpener doing his rounds, that brings back some memories. Some of them used to mend pots and pans as well. This photo was taken in the 60s but if it was not for the people in the background it could have been taken decades before the 60s. I remember the knife grinders from t...
