Renton

I mean, Labour have to go all in on this. How the fuck do the tories justify this?

Need competition. Who's in for kick starting a competitor company, let's call it Danube. Sure this will be a piece of piss.

It's a question of letting the markets decide or proactive interference from goverbment and local government, and we know what happens in this country. For the Newcastle conurbation, I've long felt we would benefit from a proper integrated public transport system into the city, concentrate all retail there to achieve critical mass, and just demolish the metro centre. But at the minute transport is a shit show and the driving/parking in the city is a fucking nightmare.

He had a kidney transplant in real life. He always looked like he would be honking wearing those thick, black clothes in the Californian climate.

True. Washington will be Sunderland's official M&S but in reality it's probably as close to Newcastle. Anyway, we used to have an M&S in Whitley Bay and I don't recall this hysteria when that closed down just cos you couldn't get your Percy Pigs.

Think they're opening one up in Washington or expanding it so no compulsory job losses. The High street is slowly dying like. I can't see John Lewis surviving much longer in Newcastle unless it actually trys to offer something better than its competitors which it once did.

There's a long thread on the SMB about the Sunderland branch being closed. Needless to say, it's descended into insanity. FTM!

Can I not be Patrick Stewart?

This is fucking nuts. He is nuts. His party are nuts. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68429902 Edit: Pretty sure the BBC have changed their headline there btw since last night when I originally posted it. Then it was "Country descending into mob rule, Rishi Sunak warns police". Perhaps I imagined it but I don't think so.

Moved it!

Fairly sure on the latest episode just last week they had an argument who would die first. Guess we know now.

Looking at the SMB celebrate on a several hundred post thread on the cup draw, they definitely think they've won something. And....

At home wasn't it? When was the time we beat them at the Ethiad? Never won there have we? Probably shortened a few days off my life yesterday getting stressed over nowt. We're de facto out

This can't be a coincidence. It has to be..., The work of the Shadowy Wearside Cabal and their friends in the mackemedia.

Gen X if you please. Without any doubt the coolest sounding generation, sounds like we're from the Marvel Universe, amirite @The Fish?

Of course. City away ffs.

Ahh fuck. Just learnt the mackems would have beat us in the third round had it not been for the Frat kid owner who ordered them to stand down. It does beg the question, why would you support the players of a team that obeyed this order, cunningly disguising themselves as being dog shit instead of playing their usual Brazil 70 selves? I expect a lot more bewwwws at the SoL next match following this revelation.

Draw is at 7pm tonight. We are NUMBER ONE baby. Come on Saudi ovelords, now's the time to daw us against Coventry at SJP please. Oh aye, and get City to play Liverpool and Chelsea against ManU please.

Depressing thing is, I remember him posting when he was a fucking teenager.

I was like this once. But before you do anything stupid, think of what you've got left to live for.

Sunak was asked about signing a fair election campaign pledge for some woman from Plaid Cymru but has refused, going on some rant about the Welsh NHS instead. So I guess that's a heads up to what we can expect from these cunts in the GE, not that it was ver in doubt.

This PMQ is particularly painful. There is just no point in the Starmer - Sunak exchange. Sunak just ignores any question he is asked and reverts to the same shit about Corbyn, every single week. And now the Speaker is too scared to intervene at all from the hecklers.

Sick of the negativity on here. We might mathematically still win the league!

He'd still chin you.

I dare you, I double dare you.
