This Tassimo......is he any good?

Just as good as your Somalia pirates craic.

The Chronicle is obsessed with any modicum of misbehavior at a game as they love a 'hooligan' headline as well as anything that they can label as 'gangster'.

CT wouldn't as a temperamental dark haired South American woman who has been used to sharing a bed with a professional sportsman wouldn't be likely to let a five foot seven, forty something Ginger weight-fighter taxi driver from Boldon anywhere near her Casa let alone her Jardin de Dama.

Never mind Oz, what would J69 say?

Sorry to hear about your job going Tom. Something will come around as it usually does but it's a twat in the meantime.

Remember the paper, yes it was shit.

God loves a trier, CT.

Some good quips and one liners in this thread as well as Stevie's amazing selfie. I reckon Stevie could get his phone out, select 'camera', point it in a random direction, take a pic and he'd find a mirror conveniently placed to show some part of himself. It's a gift.

Bruce Grobelaar, Ian Rush. (The former from Liverpool, the latter from Juventus).

I spy with my little eye something beginning with B.

Happy Birthday!

What a load of shite. Everyone knows neighbourhood has a 'U' in it.

Look, we just said 'happy birthday', we don't want a full fucking report of everything you've ever done this weekend.

Happy birthday!

Which accounts for the bribe of cheap tickets to entice/retain supporters to turn up who are sick of the biggest arsehole seen on Tyneside since Giant Haystacks split his crackas in a charity bout at Newcastle City Hall.* *Last bit may not be true.

He doesn't give a fuck, man. Does that explain the decline a bit better?

I like to have a kebab from a place in Wallsend every few months where they're not bad, the chilli sauce is lush, the salad is fresh and the meat is wrapped up in foil with the pitta on top for you to make up yourself. Only sober mind.

Got up in the loft yesterday to get our Christmas stuff down. Left the house to Christmas songs being played as Mrs HMHM ably assisted by the daughters of the Casa. Came in after seeing us beat west brom a bit drunk to see all the decorations up and the tree looking great. First proper Sunday off as well since my switch to Mon-Fri work and it feels good getting up having breakfast and not having the black cloud of going to work on a Sunday teatime not hanging over me. Nice.

This 'Black Friday'. How? When? Where? If you put an 'eyed' in between the two words then you have a local tradition/saying but as for the former? I'm going to take a wild guess here and say it's another American tradition that we've now got to adopt over here?

How was the Thanksgiving, then? Seeing the word 'Thanksgiving' has given me a bit of a laugh though. I work for a company that is truly 'global' and which has an intranet type thing which you see when you're entering in process results. I sometimes have a look as the posts on it are unintentionally funny, especially the foreign ones, (ok, mainly the American ones ). There was a thread that simply said 'Thanksgiving' so I had a gander at it. The OP basically said happy thanksgiving, what are you grateful for? Some sadsacks said they were grateful to work for such a great company , some said their families/loved ones etc, but there was a few that were proper 'God bless America' types who were thankful for the 'freedom' of their country, thankful for their constitution, forefathers etc, you get the drift. A couple of people posted questioning their constitution mainly the guns bit and fuck me, how touchy did the 'God bless America' types get! I basically learned through the GBA types that America had guns and it was a good job they did as the rest of the World came crying to America for help all the time as nobody is strong enough to fight for their own country other than the Americans. They seem to be the only country that has freedoms in their lands as well other various stuff I can't be arsed to write. Truly funny reading their craic but also slightly worrying that people who are generally pleasant, polite and a canny bunch can be so brainwashed and one-eyed when it comes to anything that might be a slight criticism of their country, (as well as their* wholly ignorant views of the World). *The God bless America types.
