I've had a few squashed bollocks in my time. (My own I hasten to add), I even ended up in hospital after putting some overalls on. Also find that they haven't as much room to roam and be free since I dropped back down to 32" waist. Me pictured entering Rake Lane hospital in 2010.

Couldn't look earlier but as the three females are getting ready, (like Oates, they may be some time) I just had a gander and mine is better than Mancys.

Sunderland Obviously Boro when we're in the same division but it's always been like an elephant putting up with an annoying fly and occasionally swatting it with it's trunk when it becomes too much of a pest. Leeds. Not so much now but Leeds had a reputation and were a biggish Northern club so games against us used to put their noses out of joint (sometimes literally) when NUFC came to town with thousands of pissed up Geordies for a 'local-ish' game for us and a reminder to Leeds of 'who we were, shall we tell 'em?' (Yes we did!). Man Utd/City - See Leeds really. Man City only had a support to shout about and references about NUFC's support used to grate on them as did KK never ceasing to talk about NUFC when he managed them. Both Manchester clubs knew to expect a big, (and I mean big), travelling support arriving on their doorstep when we played them and there was always a great atmosphere. Southern clubs really don't cut the mustard in this aspect, when I say 'atmoshere' I don't just mean singing I meant everything from tension, laughs, hatred and the back and forth between supporters. Midlands can be lumped in with the Southerners FWIW. Liverpool - Just a machine when I was a kid and you wanted to beat them but usually got hammered, a lot of the hatred now towards Liverpool seems to be internet based as when I meet them they're alright enough, although the gloryhunters don't help them as well as the media love-in and disproportionate representation they get with ex-players sticking up for them. Their day has well and truly gone. Spurs, West Ham, Chelsea - More down to individual incidents like the petrol bomb/showing them that they couldn't just pick off the odd lone Geordie getting off a train when he's surrounded by blokes in donkey jackets, taches and fresh from the yards with a thirst and an ingrained distrust of 'Shandy drinking puffs'

Reminds me of an old nurse joke..... ......which I wont bore you with.

Like the bottle.

Sorry to hear that, Cat, if it's any consolation you still scare the b'jesus out the rest of us.

Was expecting to see someone with a panama hat. Up your game tom!

No spoiler tits? Disappointing to be honest.

Eleven stone, 8 pounds. 5"9. (I usually vary between 11'0 and 11'4) Put a few pounds on from my holiday, done fuck all exercise for a week as I was straight back to work and jet lagged. Running tomorrow and back to 'normal' eating from next week!

I tell you who's a dark horse, CT;

It's the fucking Union and members past and present who have caused this set up not the management! Did ten years with S&N and was in The T&G and by and large they were a good union, since then this is my third job, all of them GMB and they're not much cop at all in fact I'm being mild. Was also asked to be a shop steward before I left S&N which I seriously considered before the closure of Newcastle Brown Ale on Tyneside.

God help us on here when you and this lass break up!

The youngest daughters new teacher is a little cutie. Oh, aye, my mortgage should be paid off in a couple of weeks. Next..............

Every sun, mon and tues plus one sat a month, (currently two a month voluntarily). Doing the same in a month or so but will be nights rather than days and I'll soon be back at one sat a month which will be a bit better if anything. Desperately need a shift change though, I've been doing this since March and it's terrible but it's a case of new starters have to put the time in till they get on any decent shifts. (And this is a Unionised workforce too, which is diabolical, then again, it's GMB so no surprise there as they're pretty shit).

I work every Sunday so this has killed football for me. It's shit.

Any spare change, guv'nor?

Works for me, like.

Is this this a gentle dig at Mrs PL or a little feeler put out as you're coming around to the idea of one, mate? Seriously, what bloke would walk around with a handbag?

Cos it was catchy, man! Also I was a teenager and full of the Frankie Vaughan for Bananarama amongst many others!

Anyone know these two? I quite like it, they seem fun and, err, 100% I would.

You only have been (possibly) RIGHT for a few months and only told us a few times yet want to take Leazes crown who was RIGHT FOR YEARS and also told us on numerous occasions compared to your few lukewarm warnings? Come back, LM, all is forgiven.

Obviously makes no sense if you thought about it but I didn't think and sung along to what I thought I'd heard. Wife pulled me up on it.
