Have you checked out Newcastle Platter? Quality side hustle podcast on English tapas

Glad to know our podcast is more popular than GB News.

Goodfella Dave ( Have you moved to Merseyside? )

any dub fans out there? lush album.

Christ, now the fuckheads think GB News has a "secretly Marxist agenda". None of them even know a damn thing about Marxism ffs. In fact, recently I've heard these sorts of people actually talk about things that I would consider to be Marxism, as if they're right wing issues. The "working class man" needs to stand up to elite power structures and wrestle the money away from the "woke, marxist" super rich. Utter morons.

Matt Hancock and Darren Grimes are fans?

The spin-off podcast about where in town does the best Portuguese custard tarts is stretching the joke a bit, mind.

nice one sir. gonna get on soulseek in the next hour or so and find them! can I give you one in return? I lost me keys for an old transit I had in hungary. earlier at the festival I'd met a french hippie called zee, ace bloke lived in an enormous horse box, had dreads down to his ankles, was in his 50s then which was probably 09ish. last day of the festival he showed up with a toolbox, took the quarter light out without breaking it, drilled out the steering lock and hot wired the van with an on/off switch which he set in to the dashboard. he then got out a chillum and loaded ii with some fucking amazing afghani black. honestly man, I thought I was having palpitations! just before he disappeared he left me a cd by a mate of his. never seen zee again, but every time I listen to this I think how lucky I was and hope he's having an ace life. stunning chill out.

yeah, that was me

Looks like some swine has hacked Dave’s weblogvlogblog NewcastleNatter.co.uk

This is mint. Anyone here pay for their online Grot?

Join in why dont you? Lube or bareback sir?

Just seems a strange thing to get het up over given the state of everything else

It's a shit name and no mistake.

"Ok guys, last thing on the agenda.....'Newcastle Natter' or 'NUFC Patter'?" "Well any self respecting Geordie would probably go for 'patter' over 'natter' I'd argue?" Great! So we're agreed then? 'Newcastle Natter' it is!"

Oh look, it’s the poor man’s Darren Grimes

The trick with the BBC is that it’s political output is overtly right wing but it’s drama/fiction output is relatively egalitarian/left leaning but the right wing factions are happy for that to be the case because it winds the right wing lads up no end. “there a gay on the television, Beryl!!!!!!” More often than not it strengthens people’s right wing sentiments. ”you can’t say anything nowadays!” Etc

I mean, I know. Oddly enough I consider them to be as misinformed in this as I do in other areas. And also oddly enough, that comes down to their lack of evidence. They tend to get worked up about the BBC overrepresenting minorities (15% of employed individuals are BAME and yet only 14.9% of the country is BAME, which is of course a scandal) whereas I tend to get worked up about different things, such as the accuracy or their reporting and general lack of balance. The main reason I say any of this though is that you'd be hard pushed to find many people on here who thought the BBC was a stellar institution. Except Gloom.

The hatred Drs receptionists harbour for most of humanity makes me think they’re prominent members of the Nazi party reborn.

The less said about the broken stain glass window accident, the better

How many times does the word “seagull” appear

Could've been worse, you could've wasted your life.

I did one 52 in October

When I was a massive hippy I went to a gig in the Roman colosseum in Nimes and took in 30l of homemade sangria courtesy of one these bad boys… Wrapped in a towel inside a rucksack. Thanks to that and some superb Moroccan herbals I was absolutely wankered, tearing around the dungeons giving it Spartacus whilst the support bands were on.

BBC sucks ass. At least on some specialist websites it does.

So you don't pay the license fee, don't watch the output... so what exactly is the nature of your discontent?

Maybe he’ll meet the same grisly fate as his father, Frank.

So, I have a seat, but I’m worried some random twat might nick it- do I? 1- Sit in the fucking thing, ending the problem 2- Leave my precious seat unattended, go down to the concourse, and kick some cunt in the head

look at something like the mash report - i wasn't a massive fan, except when rachel paris was on, or frankie boyle's new world order. these shows are as leftie as they get for a state broadcaster. i can't think of a right wing equivalent. probably because they're not very funny i would miss panorama, newsnight, the today programme, have i got news for you etc. i'm no fan of kuenssberg and think they should move her on. i disagree that the bbc's overall news coverage is overtly right wing though

I mean, there are youtube stations that cover the same shit which do fine - their mistake is in thinking that their audience is watching or interested in traditional news. The problem I suspect is the traditional news in some form, even GB News, does have to report on things based on some manner of factual reality come what may. On the internet, people can say any old shite without any accountability, meaning that biases can be catered to and bubbles preserved more purely. Sargon has given up on YouTube now and seems to run his own news/blogging site with a team of young Tories - and I'd wager he gets more hits and views than GB News does. But then, he's one of the least impartial people I've seen so nothing he says is going to threaten the views of those who come to watch his stuff. The right don't want free speech or honest and open debate as is abundantly clear from this BLM issue. They just want a safe space to rage against "Marxism", a word they can't define, and "wokeness", a word that they perceive as a threat to them but which isn't. And you know, there are plenty on the left who operate in the same way - but they're the lunatic fringe of the left. And what we're seeing is the increasingly lunatic mainstream of the right, not a fringe.

Everyone piles on to the BBC and it's got it's failings, but fuck me, the alternatives are shocking. ITV? Channel 4? Channel 5 ffs. Would I pay a subscription for the BBC? Sure, I listen to the radio for hours every day. I use their website. I watch some of their tentpole shows. Definitely worth £13 a month to me. What would happen to the other terrestrial channels if the BBC goes subscription?

I miss it. It went years ago

PL is a tory. Pass it on.

We won't. They commission everything, sub it all out to production companies. No one gets their training there anymore. Sky & CNN do similar news. Attenborough is half deed. Lineker is useful every other year for a month, the rest of their live sport will go to the mouse, Bezos or apple regardless of whether they survive

The BBC are a stress ball for every fucker with a grievance. Theyre literally a displaced person in the culture war, stuck in the middle without a clue what to do. Its £13.25 a month for the license, more than double the cheapest Netflix sub. Regardless of whether anyone thinks they're a good or bad thing in their current form they're fucked. Unless Labour & Lib Dems get a non aggression pact sorted for the next GE they'll just be another subscription service very soon..

Renton, I’m the picture of health. The only thing I’ve ever been prescribed is a healthy dose of loving from local milfs

over a period of about 2 years I slowly dyed my white kitchen ceiling an odd purpley/brown colour. there was always a lingering smell of burnt plastic too despite adequate ventilation. I hold shpongle partly responsible for this.

Never mind that nonsense, my GP pedalled me the other month because I’d moved out of the catchment area. Despite the catchment area being 5 miles and me moving a mile up the road so I’m having to duel wield between miserable gobshite receptionists in order to get any sort of Covid passport happening since nothing is showing up. I fucking wish I had seagulls in my middle class gaff

Err, no. He’s from Consett- rural Mackem.

Keep seeing him in Shields. Last of which was him glass eyed in Lowlights. Good lad

i did actually know that

On acid?

I decorated my entire house to Shpongle’s entire discography. Made a shit job 100% more bearable.

What are his nasal measurements?

Getting a bit of a vibe the new style football fan, (official with ticket), didn't like having to mix with the old style fan, (unofficial, no tickets) and it spoiled their day out. This isn't condoning those that barged in or made tits of themselves outside at all but shit like this has happened at football games for years and nobody would've gave a fuck but obviously when some of those commenting who were at the game as fans not journalists etc see it there's nowt the matter. It would be nice if after this reportage he does a bit on how they dish the tickets out because it really doesn't help the situation when you see the likes of Julia Hartley Brewer getting a seat in the semi final and others after slaughtering the players but jumping on the bandwagon. Again, that's not letting the fans off the hook but it smacks a bit of a final where carefully selected people are invited/have means of ensuring they get in but the hoi poloi should know their place and not be near the ground drinking and singing and generally ruining it for the selected few who are going. Shit like this has happened for years but England getting to a final hasn't.

Not before pissing himself by the looks of it.
