  1. As the list on this link shows, Tyneham wasn't the only village abandoned during the war. Interesting to note that Radcliffe in Northumberland was there until 1972, when it was demolished for open-cast mining. http://www.timesatlas.com/ATLASOFBRITAIN/Pages/Abandonedvillages.aspx There's also a place near Wooler , called Middleton, that has a few ruined cottages left. Abandoned in the 1600s I think.
  2. Dropped mine from 4 storeys up. Screen smashed but otherwise fine. I(ron)Phone.
  3. Its the last night in the digs tonight-using what's left. Chicken ( portioned) , chorizo, red onion , butternut squash, 6 whole garlic cloves, smoked paprika, lemon, squeezed over it all then quartered and hoyed on. Brown the chicken , then flash the chorizo , everything on a big roasting tin. Poured the olive oil I cooked sealed the chorizo over it all, in the oven for 25-30 mins. I'll taste it, might chuck some tarragon on for last few minutes. Smells bloody gorgeous already.
  4. There I was wondering what would make a 40yr old Mackem so bereft of something to do that he'd pose as one of his superiors on an NUFC message board. And then it hit me- its his sister's rag week.
