Hello Mr Mike Hunt - or can I call you My..... True, the peas were deeply dodgy but at least the statue of St Joe enjoyed the odd tab. The place was a true acadamy of gentlemen and scholars. Spacious historic buildings, extensive fields for sports - glorious views over the rolling countryside - it had none of those. What are those hallowed buildings used for now I wonder?

I dont know about an engine driver but when told the size of Americas nuclear arsenal, he replied "how many", this from the man whose finger is on the button, and who campaigned by saying his opponent knew nothing about defence issues. Cuckoo...

Sometime during the life of this parliament, we will be taking part in a referendum to decide whether or not to ditch the £ in favor of the Euro. I believe we should join the Euro and drop the Pound. The post-war variations of the pound have been responsible for a lot of our past troubles, many years ago the Pound was worth a gold Sovereign and just after W.W.2 it was worth a massive $5-00 (U.S.) but since then it has declined dramatically, in 1945 we had virtual bankruptcy as lend-lease ended, resulting in a massive American loan to bale us out, then in 1947 we had a convertability crisis. In 1949 the crunch came with devaluation. In 1956 following Suez, Eisenhower initiated the sacking of Eden by selling Pounds. It was officially stated Eden resigned because of failing health. In 1958 we had the Thornycroft crisis. 1960 another Stirling crisis after a post-Tory election boom. 1967 another devaluation, 1973- oil crisis, all control was lost and the Pound was floated. 1978 Healey "failed to control the Pound. Under the "iron lady" the Pound dropped to one dollar before shooting up too two dollars, which lead to an export crisis, then in 1998 an overvalued pound pu! t exports in danger. The Pound, generally has shown itself to be uncontrolable, unstable and a danger to our future prosperity. I believe it is now time to ditch the Pound, go into the Euro and become committed Europeans, our future is in Europe, we should grasp this future with both hands and whilst not forgetting our Allies in the West, in particular the USA, commitment to Europe is essential

I am the son of Henry Ward of Seaham and Betty Macbeth of Edinburgh. I was born in Edinburgh Scotland on 7 June 1941. I used to visit Seaham on holidays and stayed with my father's sister and her husband, Annie & Bob Longstaff. My cousins, Anne & Catherine Ward lived next door to Auntie Annie and Uncle Bob in Jubilee Avenue, but I've lost touch with them and can't remember their married names. Can anybody help?

Why is it that every time I leave a message on this Guest Book, people constantly make it their business to be critical of whatever it is that I write - whether it is about my grammar, spelling or whatever I choose to write about. I do think that most northern English people are very critical - especially the people of Seaham - such negativity only spreads negative thinking and misery. Oh, "Observer" you are so proud of who you are and what you wrote that you could not even leave your name! What a hypocrit! Go get a life and stop being critical of other people.

Seaaham, -
TONY!!! that insult was uncalled for! Who worries about their punctuation, spelling and grammar when making comments on this guest-book. I certainly do not! But there again, I am not a snob, nor do I profess to be perfect. I am actually quite down-to-earth and very successful at living my life. I do not need to use such "big-words" to try to make an impression. People like me for who I am, and that is because a well educated person is able to converse with people from all social, economical environments. I do not need to "keep up with the Jones" to prove myself. I was merely making a point to Victoria, as I think she seemed to think because I live in America, I agree with all the governing laws. Also, I was not sure if she thought that I was completely against my British heritage, in particularly, my northern English upbringing. Tony, if you have nothing positive or nice to say to me, then, please do not waste your energy leaving me a message on the G.B. Thank You!! and Have a nice day!

A friend of mine had a look at the site for the first time and made an interesting comment. With Jacqueline writing how well educated she is all the time it sounds like shes been listening to too many hypnosis tapes. When she wrote she was the duckling that turned into a swan that was a blinder.

The main purpose of this Guestbook is to allow Seaham Harbour folk around the world to keep in touch, to find each other, to explore their roots and to share cherished recollections.Just wondered if you have ever read this extraction Jaqueline.Your entry reads like an 8 year old's first attempt at writing an essay,it's a pity you didn't pick up a fundamental grasp of the English language on your journey to becoming so wise.At least you felt comfortable when you "fitted it" after you had came to America.On behalf of all guest book readers, please no entry on Unified Eirope
Tony from Spain

Hi Victoria, well thank you for your views and opinions on a "Unified Europe." I suppose you made some very interesting points. It is always good to see another perspective of things. Though a couple of points: First, please keep in mind, though I reside in America and yes, I am quite pro-American, I will not deny that fact about me. Remember I moved away from Seaham not for any other reason, other than to find my own identity. I did not like who I was as a teenager, nor, did I care for Seaham. I was young, immature, naive and not as well educated as I am today. My life in Seaham was rather difficult, considering the circumstances of my life. Mind you, it was not all bad either, I was actually very fortunate in so many ways. If I had as much wisdom then, as I do now, I most likely would not have moved from Seaham and continued life as most people have, after leaving school and college. However, as I was indeed seaching for a place to belong and where I "fitted it" ! and felt comfortable, it seemed the right thing to do for me; and that was to find comfort within the American community in Germany. Also, I had came to America on vacation during the 4 years I had lived in Germany and I knew then, that I wanted to spend my life in America. Then of course, as I had the opportunity to come to America to college, I was indeed going to take the opportunity. Well from that time,(June 11th 1991)I have made America my home. However, that is NOT to say, that I am in complete agreement with the American laws or government - I am not! Nor, do I agree with how the Education or Health Care system is run. All I can say is, despite all of the American flaws, living in America works well for me. Maybe life would have been better for me if I had stayed in England, but hind sight is only 20/20 - I will never know and no-one can ever tell me that life would have been more prosperous or successful. "I have "free-will" of mind, so that each experience is of a ! different kind." I chose to live in America and I am happy with life here, however, that does not neccessarily mean that I agree with the American laws. I certainly do NOT agree with the Death Penalty - not even in the case of Timothy McVeigh. The death penalty is not a deterrant at all - there are still people out there killing and commiting terrible crimes. Also, I wonder why Timothy McVeigh was given the death sentence, yet the guy who bombed the American Embassy in Kenya is escaping the death sentence - it does not seem to make sense, or is it humane. My next entry will be in response to your views on a "Unified Europe."

Hi! Me again! Hi Jacqueleine; when you talk about Novus Ordo Seclorum I presume you mean the New World Order not the One World Order? Coming from the North-East of England my views and needs have long been ignored by a remote London Government, and I'm not sure that a New World Order could neglect the needs of the British working class any more than the Tories did (and New Labour increasingly do). Anyway if the NWO already exists then it must be so powerful already that I can't see that there is much that we can do about it, other than protest like the May Day lot. I do find the whole Killing of Care (apparently New World Order) annual ceremony which occurs in California very bizarre though. I'm no expert but I wouldn't recommend reading the London telegraph if you want to keep in touch with British feelings on Europe, unless you get the chance to read a lot of other British papers as well - it's very right wing and doesn't give balanced opinions - that paper even ! wanted the Tories to win the Election so I don't think that it is very closely in touch with British opinions. That's just my personal opnion anyway. Anyway, hope you're otherwise well. Vix

Hi guestbook - I hope that everyone is happy and well! Hi Jacqueline, I hope that you're happy and well too. I just wanted to make a couple of comments about your views on the Euopean Union. You seem to be very glad to live in the United States of America, and I'm very happy for you about that, and yet curiously you think that Europe shouldn't be unified. I'm remembering my American history off the top of my head so I may get the place of the Unification wrong or the name of the bill wrong (I'm mailing the GB from work so I don't have any historical info. at my fingertips), but I understand that the different States of America used to have very different laws and customs and even currencies (sound familiar), and that troubles between States were commonplace. However there was a very famous meeting in which it was decided that the states should become unified and adopt a single currency and similar laws. I can't remember off the top of my head whether this was in Ph! iladelphia; Pennsylvania, ?? Can't remember, I'd have to look it up. The meeting was summerised in the very famous American creed, which starts 'We the people of the United States of America .. etc.' - I think that just about everyone in the States knows this mantra (is it the Bill of Rights? Again my American history isn't fantastic and I'd have to look this up). Anyway the upshot of all of this is that when academics argue for a United Europe they often cite this famous meeting in American history as an example as to why Europe should be unified, and they use the example of the formation of this American bill and everything it stands for (including a single currency) as a positive example as to the potential benefits of Unification. Many argue that perhaps Europe should not go as far down this road of unification as the US did. While Germany has recently proposed a more Federal Europe, other member states including Britain and France prefer autonomy. Anyway, either road u! p, as the changes which are now proposed for Europe are not nearly so radical as those which occured in the US, I'm just a little curious that, given the history of state unification in the United States you are pro-USA and yet opposed to a United Europe. Also we are (probably) going to have a referendum on whether or not we wish to join the single currency, which seems fairer than the means by which the US ended up with a single currency. Don't know what you think about this? Vix

To "fionaact@aol.com - I take such an offense at your racist suggestions in regards to knocking down Seaham and build slums for the blacks. Though, I, myself am caucasion (white) I believe we are all equal human beings and all are deserving of fair opportunities in life. Why should you suggests building slums for the blacks and not nice homes as you would like to live in. How about we build slums for people like yourself who are bigots, racists and who do not contribute to society in a positive, productive manner. Black people (or the politically correct term here in America "African/American")are human beings just like you and also deserve a fair chance in life. Fiona, get a life, get outside of Seaham and see a little of the world, mingle with people from all walks of life, of all ethnic and social economical environments, and learn to understand cultures and people

I think it is a crying shame to have a "unified Europe." What is the purpose of a Unified Europe? Oh, yes! I seem to have forgot, the purpose is nothing more than "Economics!" It is indeed certainly an economical advantage to have a Unified Europe. However, it is a shame that I feel in my opinion, each country in Europe is different from the other. Each has it's own history, culture, traditions, language and currency. Of course, I am well aware that a unified Europe does not mean that the countries are all going to put aside their traditions and all of a sudden forget about their history of their particular country and change their language etc... However, though I choose to live in America and really feel hypocritical giving my strong opinion, I have been against a Unified Europe since 1993 when I became aware of the changes that were being discussed by our wonderful world leaders. I learned just the other week from reading the London Telegraph that the new cars i! n England now have the "Euro" flag on the corner of the car license plates - what a disgrace! and when some of the British citizens covered the Euro Flag with the Union Jack (The British Flag) they were told they could not do that, otherwise they would be fined. Come on people! Isn't that a form of taking away your freedom - Your rights are being denied. Now do you see where nothing but plain "greed" is taking our society and world. Maybe most of you people disagree with me, and think I do not know what I am talking about. But I feel it is not going to be a great success and you will see slowly, but surely your rights of freedom will be denied - you will have to conform to a new goverment. There is beginning to be no such thing as the England I use to know. Have any of you been aware of the "One World Government" that has been in the works since 1933. On the Dollar Bill it has "Novus Ordo Seclorum" One World Order. We will all be under one government - do not know when, but ! it will happen and I hope I am not around to see it! What are your opinions of the Unified Europe?

Fiona you should pay a little more attention when reading the G.B.it was Markie who was telling you all to vote to save a unified europe.In my entry when I mentioned Mannie's boys I was referring to Mannie Shinwell,one of the great politicians of our time,and my local M.P.when I first became interested in politics.Incidently I have been using kilos and pesetas for the past 15 years that I have lived down here and from January 2002 will be using the Euro when it becomes the official currency of Spain and I'am in total agreement with the conversion.I do like the good old U.K. the reason I live down here to-gether with some 400,000 ex.pats. is simply because of the lovely sunny climate,to-day for instance it is 31 degrees and I have just come indoors after enjoying a swim in the pool at the bottom of my garden.I rest my case...

I guess people will notice that I made such a stupid typo error in my previous message "new" instead of "knew" I wanted to correct that before I received comments regarding my typo error; just knowing from past experience the "humor" (or somewhat!) of this guest-book. By the way, Paul Duggan thank you for your e-mail and also Frank and Ray. Paul I wish I could remember who you are, I apologise that I do not, but glad you are well and thank you for remembering me! Though I do remember very well Peter Weller! He was friends with John Armes. How is Peter anyway? Is he well? I hope so. Well, it is later here in America, 11.10pm I had better go, got to be up at 5.15 for work. Take Care everyone and don't forget to vote tomorrow, remember every vote counts! (And those who do not bother to vote, should have no reason to complain about the outcome of the elections) Also, what is this about all the riots in England? Come on people, do try to get along with everyone. In case! you have not noticed, England is also becoming a "melting Pot" just like America. Besides, unfortunately, with a "Unified Europe" there soon will be no England or "British culture" It is rather sad, but it is a changing world these days.

Good to see the Seaham Website up and running - Thank you Ed. Also, as I was looking on the "Harbour Happenings" I saw that two Girl Guides had won awards - brought back memories of my own days in the Brownies and Girl Guides. I was in the First Seaham Girl Guids on a Monday night and Joan Robertson was my Girl Guide Leader. I do, however, remember Maureen Giffen, though she was not married when I new her and I do not remember her maiden name. I did also remember Mrs. Mary Macbeth from Tuesday night Girl Guides and of course Mrs. Betty Armes - (we are good friends from way back when! aren't we John?!!! Your mom looks so different now - she actually looks more mellow. I hope she is well, please pass my kindest regards to her.)

Hi John! How are you these days? What are you up to? Have not seen you on the guest-book for a while - it does get kind of "hairy!" Half of what is on the "alternative" G.B. I do not even "get" anyway. I mean, it just goes, whoosh! over my head at times. Either I am naive, or a little "ditsy!" or what!I just do not always get that weird sense of humor. Do you?! Oh,hope your parents got their Easter card - though I forgot to enclose the "virtue" cards with everyone's card. I guess I was still overwhelmed by my parents visit as I was so excited to tell everyone in my Easter Newsletter, I forgot to enclose the "virtue" cards. I will do that at Christmas. Well the summer is here in Chicago. We had 89 Degrees the other day. Though, unfortunately it does not get as hot as Texas and Arizona. However, two years ago, it did hit 100 degrees for 7 straight days! I just love the summer! I have my summer vacation this July and I think I am going to either Texas to Austin, or to C! alifornia to San Fransisco - depending on how expenisve flights are! Well, e-mail me if you wish, let me know how you are doing. Give my regards to your family. God Bless, from your dear friend, from long, long ago! Jacqueline.

For anyone who doesn't already know it, Fiona Act is a comedian and drag artist who works the clubs around Sunderland and Teeside.

I am a mature (retired) student doing an MSc in Marine Development and Protection at Heriot-Watt University. My main interest lies in Coastal Zone Management and I am particularly interested in what has been achieved though the Turning the Tide Project. I have chosen to do my Thesis on the revival of the Durham Coast; from a biological view point and how the TTT project has integrated with coastal zone management planning. I will be based just north of Hartlepool and if anyone has information they feel might be relevant, such a local knowledge, perhaps even an ex-student who has done previous research I would be grateful for any help. I will be down to see the exhibition around middle May. I am no stranger to the NE having spent some formative years on Tyneside and looking forward to making a re-aquaintance. Many thanks

The definitive biography of the undisputed maestro of English billiards. Born in 1898 in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, Walter Albert Lindrum re-wrote the record books, establishing some 57 world records, none of which have been broken, except by himself. Although naturally right-handed he played billiards with his left hand - the legacy of a childhood accident when he lost the top joint of his right index finger. His childhood and youth were devoted to the development of his billiards under the guidance of his astute father. In 1924 the visiting English professional, Claude Falkiner, unwittingly re-shaped Walter Lindrum's game by his use of the nursery cannon. Lindrum realised the nursery's potential as the ultimate scoring force and wove it into the very fabric of his game. Between 1929-1933 Lindrum dominated the English billiards scene, conceding up tp 7000 points start to his nearest rivals. His record break of 4137, made in 175 minutes consisted of ! about 1900 consecutive scoring shots. The rules of the game were altered on several occasions to try to curb Lindrum's cannon play. Lindrum was so proficient that he made billiards look absurdly easy. He was a billiards tornado who carried his contemporaries along with him. The result was a golden age when the standard of the game reached its highest level. No player has ever approached Lindrum's incredible performances. No one will! The devotees of Walter Lindrum are not alone in their belief that he is the greatest sportsmen who ever lived. Walter Lindrum died in 1960. He was awarded an M.B.E. in 1951 and an O.B.E. in 1958 for his many years of charity work and support of the the War Effort. "The quiet little man is Walter Lindrum, whose skill in his own field is so great that he is forever doomed to sit in unapproachable loneliness and watch the feeble attempts of ordinary folk to follow where he leads." The only biography ever written on Walter Lindrum covers all aspects of his life in detail - the arduous years of practice, the triumph, tragedy and controversy of the golden years of 1929-34, his selfless years of charity work, an intensive analysis of the reasons for his greatness.

Thomas, I hope that you're happy and well. I am English myself. I left Seaham in 1989 to go to college. I agree that the Welsh, Scots and Irish should get the independance which they're entitled to, if they so desire. Pounds and miles aren't really an important part of my identity. Before we weighed things in pounds we probably weighed them in something else, and it makes sense to me to use a system used by most of the world, (S.I. units), but I don't think it's important enough to prosecute someone over. I think that people often look for scapegoats to blame their own circumstances on, for example how much tax they pay. Personally I'd be a lot happier to see more of my taxes spent on education, health care and social care, and less on weapons, administration, unethical investments and misscarriages of justice. I imagine that if I did know where our taxes went, and where the money that was stolen during the privatisation of national assets has disappeared, assets which were owned by o! ur fathers and mothers, and their fathers and mothers, and their fathers (but probably not their mothers, 'cos women probably weren't allowed to own property back then), then I'd find that more money is spent in ways that I disagree with than is spent on our Celtic neighbours, who have contributed a lot to our society, both financially and otherwise. Money may well be squandered and siphoned off, but I don't think that the Celts are a problem but an asset. It does worry me that a place like Seaham, from which a lot of coal has been mined, and which has also contributed a lot to Britain, both financially and otherwise, seems to have been neglected by recent governments. I was horrified to see an interview where Tony Blair was speaking to people in a pub in Sedgefield, and the commentator was speaking along the lines of 'see ... Tony can mix with ordinary people'. Given the amount of commitment shown to the North-East by recent governments it should have been Tony that was flatt! ered that 'ordinary' people gave him the time of day, but the slant of the news item was that top-man Tony was such a down-to-earth bloke, stooping to speak with the likes of us, and, heaven forbid, have a pint in a working class pub. I bet it was shandy anyway. I'm sure that the facts that I live in Scotland, have Irish and Scots ancestry, knock about with a load of Celts, and drink Guinness by the bucket load don't colour my opinions at all. Vix. OOoooo, I do enjoy a good rant ... I think I've got it out of my system now.

Dr McCabe, I welcome your contribution to the topic I raised and you put forward a good case, but really I wasn't having a dig at the Scots, it was more of a plea for independance for England and I do consider myself as English rather than British, the latter does not mean a great lot to my generation, born post-war. The scotish people are proud and cannot be happy accepting subsidies from England or anywhere else, you should be using your energy to pursue a policy of independance for Scotland( if you believe in it ) and leave us English to our own! On the question of North sea oil, it does not belong to the people of Aberdene, they couldn't have financed the exploration costs anyway, billions of pounds were put into by Gov't and financial interests Worldwide and yes they got their returns on their money, the Wo(man) in the street gets very little financial benefit from NSO I dont know what the Welch have achieved, but the same message applies to them, get going, go for independance and leave us English to get on with it ourselves.

Jacqueline, I have made several attempts to reply to your entry on 23rd April but none of which have appeared. A technical problem no doubt. To be brief, yes we all have differing opinions on life but I have read yours so often, they deserve being shot at. (Not with a Smith and Weston however) As for the televised execution of Timothy Macvey, well, for me that sums up America today – morally bankrupt. I prefer living in the UK. Things are far from perfect here but we are a more tolerant society - miles ahead of the USA. Thomas, yes miles not kilometres. You asked what do we think? I think you have definitely gone bananas bonnie lad. Why stop at independence for England. Why not Durham or even Seaham. I suppose we could have a border patrol along the edge of Dalton.

Dear "P Catching!" You know it has been such a very long, long time since I was ever at a "Disco!" We do not really have discos in America or even when I was working in Germany from the age of 18-22yrs old. I mean, there are such things as "Retro-Dances" and we all dress as if we were in the 60's and 70's and I suppose disco music and 60's rock 'n' roll is played. Yes, there is beer and wine and other drinks if one cares to drink. I mean, I am a 32 year old adult and when I go to these dances with friends we all have pretty much the same perspective on life and values system. We do not go to drink and get drunk. We are adults and we embrace life. Also, Yes, I suppose there are "Christians" at the discos. What about the disco's you go to - are there any Christians?

mr, johnson i dont ask for a litre of beer but what ireceive is actually a metric measurement, remember when they changed the capacity of the glasses some years ago. you dont get an imperial pint in pubs, silly. cant comment on miles but we,ll get there. however petrol is served in litres, try going in a garage and ask for a gallon, again, you,ll not get one. so why are you getting upset abut bananas it,s not important we are slowly but surely making yhe transition to metrification. by the way my garden measures 4 chins by 3 roods , how big is it in acres ? if you can answer that you are sadder than i thought.

Hi! I'd like to reply to the comment that tax payers money would be saved if England broke from Wales, Ireland and Scotland. Thinking about all of the coal that has been mined from Seaham, you'd imagine Seaham to be a fabulously wealthy place, however I suspect that most of the coal profits were used elsewhere. Similarly as the oil capital of Europe, Aberdeen is currently being exploited of it's oil. If England and Scotland were to go their seperate ways now, I think that it would be England who faired the worse financially. I also think that there are reasons to complain about how our taxes are spent, but that they require a little more thought than just blaming your closest neighbours. After all, as Dr. Giggles pointed out, the Welsh have acheived things that we can only aspire to. Vix.

A message for Isaac - Yes there are still several Turns left in Seaham. I am aware of a Turns family from Murton but I suspect they are distant relatives descended from my Great Great Grandfather's brothers in Sunderland. My Ancestor Benjamin Turns arrived in Seaham as early as 1861 and I have traced his family as far back as the early 1700's in Newcastle, so if you need any help in your search let me know

Dear Thomas, you talk about "freedom" Let me give you a bit of reality. Unfortunately, Freedom of Religion in America is contridicted. At American schools children are not allowed to pray or use God. They do not have a Christmas tree or the Cross at Easter. However, sadly, every other religion is accepted. Only Christianity is slowly being ruled out and why? because satan (the devil) hates with all his heart Jesus Christ, therefore, just take a look at the world and society - what has happened to it? It has gone to shambles because people no longer know what " sin" is anymore. Also, here is America is the only country that has on the money "In God Wwe Trust" however, even that, will no longer be - the government has been talking about and trying for years now to get it removed. Why is it that Christianity is attacked so much and frequently? Because it is a true religion and not fantasy. There is a God, Jesus, Blessed Mother and there is a Heaven and a hell. Most pe! ople like to beleive that hell exsists only here on earth - that hell is what you make your life to be. In my opinion, "hell" is the separation between a faith and belief in Jesus Christ. Without having a faith in God and knowing God how can one's heart be filled with love. When we die if our hearts are still seperated from God then to hell we will go and hell is a place seperated from the love of Jesus Christ. Anyway, I have got to go now I will continue this later. Please feel free anyone to give an opinion. Though let your opinion be non-insulting. Rememeber I am not insulting anyone here - I am just giving my thoughts on some issues. Have a great day everyone.

: Mr. Johnson you are not very well educated are you ? probaly ex grammar school methinks. Your comments re, metric bananas etc. just prove the point . Why dont you try going into the same shoppe with an old half crown and try and buy a pound of bananas. it would not work i,m afraid . Britain signed up to be the same as the rest of the world some years ago in respect of metrification . Again, how could we compete in the Olympics if we were the only country to run jump swim etc in imperial measurements

Jacqueline, nice to see you back again, there have been a few comments on the guest/book about Mr Bush and policies on Capital punishment. I think he was absolutely right in refusing to pardon those murderers and we should pity the poor victims of their hidious crimes rather than call a man only doing his duty as he sees it, so come on lets give the man a chance to prove himself and lets not forget that the USA is our closest friend and allie, give me the USA every time before our so-called friends in Europe. Let us not forget that they(the USA) came to our assistance twice in the 20th Century and without their help and sacrifices we would have been in deep trouble The USA is also a bastion of freedom, a much freer society than ours, after all I have never heard of anyone in America being taken to Court for selling a pound of Bananas have you? a near-neighbour of mine has been fined by the courts for doing just that. I have no objection to schoolchildren being taught metric measures but we should all have the freedom to choose whether we want to order a pound or a kilo. that is what freedom is all about. I do wish we had a bill of rights in this Country like you have over there. I also say we should cut loose from the Scots,Welch and Irish, we have subsidised them long enough, we could cut income tax by 10p/£ if we didn't have to subsidise them so much. What do you think Jacqueline, what do guest/book contributers think?

Ex Seaham - Monday, April 23, 2001 at 08:45:02 (EDT)
To "Issac" First, I do indeed support President George Bush. However, not for his choice of the death penalty. I will be one of the people in America who will NOT be watching the live lethal injection (Death Penalty) of Timothy Macvey who was responsible for the Oklahoma bombing in 1995. Annway, I support President Bush for the fact he is "trying" to do it better than the former President - Bill Clinton. Mr. President Bush at least has a "team" the Bush Cabinet who are of all moral convictions. Unfortunately, there is not one President who can please everyone. At least President Bush is not a "floosy!" or is engaging in affairs and giving "pardons" to cover his own mistakes. Bill Clinton was the laughing stock of America and the whole world - he was a complete disgrace to America. I do not agree with everything President Bush has to say, but I do think he is trying to help his country and foreign relations. I do realize that Seaham and the North of England in genera! l are as a whole supporters of the "Labour" government (Or, translated in American, supporters of the democratic party) Therefore, I understand your disagreement with my opinion. You and I and probably most people on this guest-book share very different opinions of President Bush and perhaps even of the British Prime Minister, Tony Blair. However, that is not to say that either one of us are wrong in our views and opinions. Always remember that differences of opinions give a balance in society. Though it is a shame that we all could not agree on Jesus Christ and that he is indeed our saviour. Just think how our world would be if we all agreed on that issue. Jesus Christ is love and represents love, forgiveness, compassion, gentleness, kindness, consideration, the truth and all things good and beautiful. If we all agreed that Jesus Christ is the saviour - I bet our world would be completely different. Something to think about?!!

Tony, don’t feel too bad (or proud?} they were bound to come back to haunt us. What we should ask is why Markie, Johnson and others all appear at the same time and feed off each other’s tripe. If they are not the same person then they definitely ‘Pee in the same pot’ Why should anyone have any respect for a supposedly educated, religious woman who supports an execution mad, pro gun lobby, pollution friendly President and then has the front to lecture us on what’s wrong with our country. As for you Ms Johnson – stick to cricket

Regarding your query on the Mining disaster, and the remnants held in the Church, you should obtain a copy of "Troubled Seams" by John McCutcheon which was originally published in 1955 but reprinted in 1994 for the Arts and Museums Dept. of Durham County Council, County Hall, Durham.It has an ISBN 1 897585 07 1

Well, here we go again. It is increasingly evident that, by entering this Guest Book, some people set in motion a sequence of events over which they have absolutely no control.The comparison of Blair with ---er Bush? The man who wears cowboy boots with the seal of the United States embossed on them? Bush would be out of his depth in a puddle! He sets himself low achievement targets and constantly fails to meet them.He was also elected by completely fraudulant means. Only in America eh!

Hey! Thomas Johnson! You are right on the right track! I too,support a democratic system for Great Britian. I see no reason why on earth we have a Monarchy. Though the Queen does not govern England I still see no reason for the Monarchy - It is a lost cause and costing British tax payers more than perhaps would if the Monarchy did not exsist. Mind you, Britain needs a better Prime Minister than she has at the moment. Tony Blair is not doing such a great job........

Jacqueline A happy and prosperous Easter to you and yours, can we now look forward to some more guest-book contributions from you? most of the recent letters on this page have been "bitchy" and deserve to be treated with distain and ignored You asked a while ago "can men & women" ever be just friends and after a lot of thought I must conclude NO unless the men or women prefer the company of their own sex, then they could I suppose be friends with the opposite sex. I think you are lucky to be living in a country where the head of state (your President) is elected by the Man(Woman) in the street and not subject to our archaic system of having a head/state decided by birthright. I would support a republican system of election in this country which would be truly democratic, what do you think Jacqueline?

The weather is now very beautiful here in Chicago - today it is 73 degrees, sunny and a little windy - but very pleasant! The summer is on it's way - hurray!!!

Does anyone have family or friend that are at,or were at Beachcomber or Beachview homes. I've just found out my Gran can't take care of herself and the family is looking at those homes. I checked their web site and everything looks fine but if anyone h as any personal info I'd be much obliged.And yes Ed I think the news debates would be a great idea. Thanks to your news page I found out about the Hall opening and looking forward to staying there in Sept when we get home and see all Seaham improvements.

Let's have your news and events for the HARBOUR NEWS folks. Does anyone think it would be a good idea to have a regular "Single Issue" page where individuals could air there views (supported by facts) about town issues. The current issue could be pos ted on the "Single Issue" page and you could debate it in the Guestbook and vote on it. After a suitable period (say two weeks) the result of the vote would be posted and another issue set up. Nice to have you back safely Colin.

NO BUMPS ON SEAHAM PATH Well, I'm home again after three weeks away which included a brief visit to Seaham.I inspected the infamous Dalton-le-Dale humps, all eight of them, and reached the conclusion after the third thump that they serve the purpose for which they were intended,so end of story.I also had a tour of Seaham with Ed Mason which showed that, contrary to some opinion, the Seaham Council are doing their very best within the resources available to them to improve the place. Much of what I saw was considerably more positive than would be believed of the "knockers" some of whom seem to have a very negative approach. Having some experience in Works Management myself, I can understand how difficult it is to please all of the people all of the time, and even knockers have opinions. But to do nothing is to stagnate, and that means you go backwards, not forward. So well done Ed, and thanks for the time yourself and Sadie allowed me.

To "Curious" I think my parents do not like "American Food" in terms of the huge quantity that are served. Also, my parents are use to the food they eat at home. A cooked meal with 5 vegetables. Over here I go to restaraunts and will order pasta and it will come with one vegetable. Or I will get steak and it will come with 1 or 2 vegetables. I think my parents are just being picky. I mean, I love America - it is a very different culture to England. They are having a great time - I hope, it is just they are 66 and 65 years old and they like to find something to complain about. They also cannot get over all the driving that I do. As I live in the country I drive an hour to get to the city, a hour to get to one suburb and an hour to get to another. Also 30 minutes to get to the stores and to church etc... Whereas, that is very far to my parents and to me it is second nature - I am use to it. I think nothing about driving one hour or 30 minutes to church. Again, they can! see the very different life I live over here. Also, because I am still single I like to eat out a lot! I am just on my own schedule and do whatever I want. The only time frame I have is for work. Otherwise, I am single without a boyfriend (boo-hoo!) or without children and my life is totally different in terms of how my parents remember me when I was at home.

Hi! folks,I'll try to inject some humour into the guestbook ,in your cold lives, and the country's trying times,with an item in our local newsletter. Subject : What happens if the E-Mail address is incorrect??? The following ~~~~~ After being nearly snowbound for two weeks last winter, a Seattle man departed for his vacation at Miami Beach, where he was to meet his wife the next day at the conclusion of her business trip tp Minneapolis. They were looking forward to pleasant weather and a nice time together. Unfortunately, there was some sort of mix up at the boarding gate, and the man was told he would have to wait for a later flight. He tried to appeal to a supervisor but was told the Airline was not responsible for the problem and it would do no good to complain. Upon arrival at the hotel the next day he discovered that Miami Beach was having a heat wave, and it's weather was almost uncomfortably hot as Seattle's was cold. The desk clerk gave him a message that his wife would arrive as planned. He could hardly wait to get to the pool to cool off, and quickly sent his wife an E-mail, but due to his haste he made an error in the address. His message therefore arrived at the home of an elderly preacher's wife whose even older husband has died only the day before. When the grieving widow opened her E-mail, she took one look at the monitor, let out a scream and fell to the floor dead. Her family rushed to her room where they saw this message on the screen: Dearest wife, departed yesterday, as you know. Just now got checked in. Some confusion at the gate. Appeal was denied, Received conformation of your arrival tomorrow. Your loving husband. P.S. Things are not as we thought. You're going to be surprised at how hot it is down here. Have a good day , Regards Oz-Brian

To "Old Aquaintance" Hi, my parents will be visiting me this coming Tuesday 27th March for a week. I am very happy indeed! I can hardly wait! Yes, my sister did remarry. She is very happy and has been married for 10 years. She has three boys,(All to he r wonderful 2nd husband - he is really nice indeed.) ages 10, 5 and 4 I think those are their ages - around those ages. I keep in touch with a few people via Christmas cards and Easter cards. Andrea Spurr, Amanda Philips(now Hemmings) Lesley Knight (now W ebster) Deborah Macdonald and AnneMarie Swan. Though, I never receive cards from them, except from AnneMarie; and Gayle Mason and I e-mail each other. Also, I e-mail Victoria Macabe now and then. I do hear about different ones from school etc... through t he internet (Guest-Book!) and every now and then my mom or sister will tell me they saw someone or another I use to know..........................I would like to know who you are - you can e-mail me if you wish.

First look on guest book, been to Seaham few times, and i have to say it's the most culturally enlightening place i have ever been to, the arts, it famed gastronomic outlets, it's gentile towns people, i just find it the most delightful, cultural, spi ritual and aesthtically pleasing place i have ever had pleasure to experience ,that is having been all over the world, Boston vs Seaham, Boston blown out the water everytime................................................................................................................ The only thing that spoils this site are detractors who have yet to taste the full blown delights of LCL super strength and view this wonderous place through the Federation Breweries most famous product's goggles. So Miss M come back to the glorious wind swept utopia that is Seaham, consume a glass of the finest LCL money can buy and you too will forget conventional religion as Seaham in it's new form will become a religion unto it's self and you will bond forever with it's faithful disciples that are Mr Madheed amd Knee Pad and conflict will be no more.

As an Ex Seaham Woman now married to a Welshman I along with my spouse took offence at the ramblings of MS Robinson and wish to point out to Mr Johnson that the Welsh are not whingers but are a nation of hard working and talented individuals who like m yself contribute significantly to the British economy. The majority of the Welsh people have a great sence of humour and are able to laugh at themselves but in the case of MS Robinson it was purely a malicious racial comment.

You know to this day, I am 32 years old today, I actually weigh 8 stone and 6 pounds. I am very proportioned for my heigh t of 5 feet 3 inches tall. I work out/swim and run 3-5 miles 3 -4 times per week. I eat only healthy food - very rarely do I eat Pizza's, chocolate and red meat. I do not know who you are, you are obviously a coward as you do not even reveal your real nam e.

: I really take offense to the comments from: "Macavity" and "Knee Pads In The Long Grass." I was NEVER FAT! and I am still NOT FAT! I think you may be thinking of another Jacqueline. I actually remember one Jacqueline in my year who was a little on th e heavier side. Also, she was a little more "rough and tumble" so to speak. Maybe you are talking about her. I was always thin and was called such names as "Rattle Ribs" "Tin Ribs" "Skinny Minnie" etc... as well as "Concord" When I was younger I was so th in as was my face that my nose looked too long for my face. Though, Thank God! I have filled out a little now I am older and my nose adjusts very attractively to my face. Actually, I am more attractive now, than when I was younger - (Thank you to God!) Al so, I NEVER hung out at the Docks! I was pretty much a quiet girl - though, for whatever reason always seemed to get myself into trouble at school and with people! I was in the Church Choir, in the Brownies and Girl Guide! s and was a member of the Seaham Ametures. I am telling you, you have the wrong young woman you are thinking of. Besides, I did not date until I was 19 and a half when I went away to work in Germany. So you see, you are completely wrong! and I take offens e at your remarks. Though, I realize half or most of the "guest-book" enteries are written all with "good fun!" and "Humor" However, some enteries can really be hurtful; even if you don't mean for them to be. Anyway, take care and God Bless. Your "guest-b ook" friend, Jacqueline Markie.

: An Interesting Observation: It was clearly noticable that quite a few members of the guest-book had made complaints about me when I was using the guest-book more frequently thna should have a few weeks/months ago. Even though I was not using offensiv e language or being insulting to individuals. I was merely being annoying to some, only because of my expressive opinions. However, I have noticed not one person has complained about "Mr. Slim" who continues to write in almost an "Island" language - perha ps, "ebonics" (African/American language)and is completely insulting not only people but the town of Seaham. I ask you - now where is your loyalty to Seaham? My word! You had plenty to say to me! and certainly put me in my place! But here, here! Along com es "Slim" and he can "Rap" away at insulting people and the town and no-one says a thing! I am amazed!

: Happy St Patrick's day [for yesterday], got mashed down the local due to Guinness being £1.00 a pint. I have a serious hangover... Pricey, if you read this or if anybody who knows Paul tell him, I'll see you in Dublin next weekend for the non-rugby match...

Tony - Thomas said he wouldn't be interested in you unless your name ended with an "i". You of course that he has an exposed japs eye, and as the saying goes, "an eye for an eye" I'd be a little cautious if I were you.

TO L. PRICE. Go to upmystreet.com then put in the Seaham post code (start with SR7 then any 3 others eg. 4BD) and you will get the next best thing for free on your PC. If you want greater detail than this you'll have to get somone to purchase locally f or you and send it on. Hope this helps.

I think the followingis very apt and much to the point: The Man cried out "God speak to me" and a Bird sang, but the Man did not hear! So the Man yelled "God speak to me" and the thunder rolled across the sky but the Man still did not listen. So the Man said "God let me see you" and a Star was born and shone brightly but the Man did not notice. So the Man shouted "God show me a miracle" and a Baby was born, but the Man did not know. So the Man cried out "God let me know you are there" whereupon God reached down and touched the Man, but the Man brushed away the Butterfly and walked on. The moral of the story is, don't miss out on a blessing because it is not "packaged" the way you think it should be, remember that God is everywhere, God bless all on this Holy Sabbath

Randy, The only humping going on in the Dale is to do with the shaking-up of Motorists passing through the place, as all the snooty residents are old and decrepid thers not much "humping" going on at all

Thomas, if you haven't figured out what I meant by the "pen name" I used, then you are not what I thought you were, or you would have worked it out immediately. Not to worry.
