  1. James Earl Jones, in “Conan The Barbarian; David Lammy, Labour Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Secretary; Cheers.
  2. Did no one in charge see this coming ? A man who’s Tourette’s is so severe a film was made about it. Did no one think him being at such an exciting night for him might just trigger an outburst ? If this incident hadn’t happened, most people would never even known the BAFTA’s had been on tv. As they say; “ no such thing as bad publicity”…….. Cheers.
  3. Chubby Brown never got upset at the “you fat b*****d” chants. Micky Quinn the Newcastle player never got upset when fans threw pies at him and sang “who ate all the pies”. In fact they both encouraged it ! Delicate creatures, these showbiz types Cheers.
  4. My school didn’t really have a dress code or uniform. The nearest we had was typical mod attire; Ben Sherman shirt, Levi Sta-press or 501 jeans, and desert boots. I do remember going through some pretty eclectic get ups at school, one was dressing like one of Eliot Ness’s Untouchables; fedora hat, blue chalk stripe double breasted suit and overcoat ! Another was like Fidel Castro’s son; ex US Army fatigues and cap complete with the obligatory, at the time, CND and Ban The Bomb badges. I also remember a fad for ex Air Raid Wardens blue jackets or navy greatcoats . There were
  5. Violence is never the answer……but then again, it depends on what the question is ? Cheers.
  6. As you know, South and North Shields are port towns on either side of the mouth of the Tyne . They have allways been a place where sailors of all castes have settled. For anyone to say they haven’t seen any immigrants and only one black man in a week stretches credulity to breaking point Its a bit like saying you went shopping on Newcastles West Road and never saw a Pakistani Cheers.
  7. There was a nightclub right next to the ferry landing in North Shields called the Jungle, as rough a place as you’ll find , a haunt of the black community and The door man was the old boxer Manny Burgo, a black man , I think you may have just been on the periphery and not right into town Cheers.
  8. Tynemouth is the posher part of North Shields. I was brought up about 3-4 mile away on a council estate called Longbenton, , I now live about 8-10 miles west of North Shields. I worked for a North Shields company called Rutherford Brothers on their factory ships. I went to South Shields Marine College and my brother lives in Wallsend, right next to Shields. Ive spent lots of time there and I’ve got pals who are black and half caste living on the Medowell Estate, formally called The Ridges. There is a big immigrant population in the area. Did you stay in the Tynemouth area or go into N
  9. I retract my previous statement ! I don’t wasn’t to spend what time I’ve got left looking over my shoulder for a hammer wielding , enraged , ex felon from the bad lands of Bradford ! Cheers.
  10. I was being magnanimous…….i could have said he’s talking absolute shite Cheers.
  11. I used to drink in the Low Lights, the Dolphin, The Ballarat, the Old Hundred, when I was in North Shields and you’d see every nationality, colour and creed. It’s a port town and has one of the highest “ethnic” populations in the area. I think Bangers may have been exaggerating slightly Cheers.
  12. They must have all been sleeping for Ramadan , Bangers. I know Shields well, I worked for a North Shields company and went to South Shields Marine College, people from South Shields are known as “sand dancers “ because of the huge Yemeni community and have one of the biggest mosques in the country. When you’re in North Shields, have a look around Notts Flats or the Meadowell estate and then tell us there isn’t any blacks or immigrants Cheers.
  13. Yeah, normally starts around now, but yesterday up near the border they weren’t pairing up , but 30-40 mile south they are pairing up and boxing. Like a spring day yesterday and today up here, they’ll be mating soon enough if the weather stays like this Also noticed the roe are grouping up and moving out into the open , saw a huge buck with three does yesterday. Cheers.
  14. Pics taken from a video yesterday in North east. I can’t upload the video. pairing up, 2’s, 3’s, 4’s , boxing and chasing each other. Cheers.
  15. In the late 60’s, early 70’s I was a young, single mod without a care in the world; By the late 70’s I was married with kids and working in the Middle East bringing electricity to remote communities; The path of life takes many twists and turns……. Cheers.
  16. Ask him yourself, he’s on Moochers Cheers.
  17. I’ve passed his number on to lads who are interested. Dont shoot the messenger Cheers.
  18. It’s not mine, I’m just posting the pics for Max Cheers.
  19. In Newcastles last few games , our record buy 6’7” centre forward, Waldermart, has played in midfield (ala Joelinton ?), and our lightening quick winger, Gordon , has played as centre forward ! It’s worked , with three away wins in a row. It looks like Howe will play the same formation tomorrow against Man City……that will be the tester Cheers.
  20. There’s a lot of talk, on here and the media, of Andrew’s arrest being a “distraction “. I see it as the opposite; the Kings brother being arrested on charges of what could have been treason, if Blair hadn’t scrapped the treason laws, sends out a message, in my mind, that no one is above the law , wether it will result in a prosecution or not is another thing. So, rather than it being a distraction, I see it as, hopefully, being a start . But I won’t hold my breath Cheers.
  21. I don’t know but I’d guess about 24/25” Cheers.
  22. Very tempted mate, and I’m sure there would be one for me if I wanted, but I’m not in the market for a pup just now Cheers.
  23. Looks like it’s eight Cheers.
