Renton

Aye, from Wullie. I told him you sit near me then he reckoned he was just taking the piss. Yeah, course you were Wullie 59378[/snapback] I'd have thought Wullie would have known about SLP - he is a bit of a legend on the internet after all (SLP, not Wullie). No required for that either.

Well do you?

Is that a sanitised Irish man, English man and Scotsman joke?

And every time I send an installment I'll feel pissed off - you probably have an inkling that I can get a bit highly strung about things! Why prolong it? Anyway, I'm not as poor as I made out, I can just about afford it but it just really boils my piss! 59358[/snapback] Will it be like in the departure lounge when you heard that Souness was the new manager? Only every month! 59361[/snapback] Bastid! That was an exceptional case, hopefully never to be repeated. I'm still pissed off about it.

It was I. Never wrong you see. Back to the thread topic. People who go around in just a t-shirt saying they're geordies so they have to are thick. I thought the point was that Geordies weren't dull enough to refer to the weather. "It's cold today!" "No shit Sherlock" Put a scarf on and stop moaning. 59356[/snapback] Exactly! Thanks for getting my point across for me. It's winter, it's cold. Not entirely unexpected I have to say. Last night I had a bath and it was wet.

Brrr, I'm so cold, I better wear my extra thick pink thermal underwear.

Thanks WubbleUC, that makes perfect sense and I think you're right. Short of a miraculous magnanimous gesture from GNER (ha ha) it looks like I'm shagged. I was thinking about being awkward and prolonging the process, but tbh that is probably biting my nose off to spite my face: I'm probably better just getting it over with. Let this be a warning that GNER are complete bastids (though I'll let everyone know if they do hear my pleas of leniency).

Can someone rename this the "bunch of homs" thread (no offence Meenzer). We're supposed to be geordies ffs!

There's a chance he'll get the firing squad. Won't happen like, but 15 years hard labour in a nam prison might finish him off.

I had to give ID as proof - my driving license. And unfortunately I don't know Gemmill's address.

Did I just read what Renton wrote correctly?? 59035[/snapback] Even a broken clock shows the correct time twice a day etc.

I hope you're proud of yourself 58956[/snapback] Should be ashamed. Anyway, despite 12 pages of waffle, the facts haven't changed. N-O is still shit and Taylor27 is the worst poster ever. 58961[/snapback] That comment's gonna take us full circle, I expect an essay some time this evening! 58984[/snapback] Think this place will still be around by this evening then? I'm gonna change "bringing Newcastle fans back home" to "backup board for Newcastle Online" 58990[/snapback] Apparently this place is for those who have been thrown off N-O don't you know? 58995[/snapback] i left of my own accord, couldn't get my head round test talk. this is better tbh imho lol swalk 59025[/snapback] What's test talk? And swalk?

You know you're probably right. It's a pisser having to wait out the season though.

And replace him with whom exactly? No-one is suggesting that Souness is the man to deliver what we want but replacing him now would be like suicide. We need to wait until the summer. 59019[/snapback] Well it depends on ho is available, but why wait for summer if we can better? There is still league placing, europe, and the FA and league cup to play for.

Suppose not 59017[/snapback] I'll check with Happy Face before I can comment on whether I think it's racist or not 59018[/snapback] Actually, it would read better if you referred to them as pakistanis before you got to the punch line I reckon.

That's not really very funny, is it?

What I found disappointing was the utter negativity we showed, which a lot of fans just seem to have accepted - I even heard some saying it was a great performance after the first half. Bollocks, it was the Arsenal match over again. I know its against Chelsea, but that was a very worrying performance. We really are piss poor up front when our first choice strikers are out, which in the case of Owen will be frequently, unfortunately. And our defence is as shaky as ever. What's the solution? All I hear on here is we have to replace X or buy Y. But where's the money going to come from? Despite spending £50M we are still a very mediocre side under Souness. Sack him before christmas imo, if we want to progress.

Yes, it was £120 each. I agree with what you say, but I know for a fact they are charging me more than a standard single fare, which I think is unacceptable. Guess I'm probably shafted. Bye bye new mp3 player.

I think it probably is the standard price (outrageous I know). Writing to them and putting your case may work though. Perhaps you could lay ot on thick regarding the circustances and being a loyal customer, blah, blah, blah. The person inspecting the tickets probably hasn't got much leeway over that sort of thing and had little choice. 59000[/snapback] Yeah, the conductor was Ok about it to be fair, I could see he didn't have much choice (although I was seriously thinking of giving him a bung!). I'm going to make them offer and be very grovelling/polite, but if they are intent on making me pay the full whack I'm going to make it as hard for them as possible.

Just been ripped off by GNER, the set of thieving bastids. I've been away in London and used advance tickets - only £10 each. The first problem I had was the train on Saturday was late, making me miss the the start off the Chelsea match. I suppose I can just about live with that. However, on the way back yesterday the tube was delayed in the rush hour, and I just missed my train, so I got the next one, 10 minutes later. I knew I was going to have to pay an excess, that's fair enough. What I wasn't prepared for was the fact they charged me and my wife £240! Bastards! They claimed this was the price of a standard single ticket, but I am sure this is blatent bullshit. I refused to pay, so they are sending me a letter demanding payment. I'm going to try and see if they will accept less, but I know its probably to no avail, although I tempted to let them take me to court over it. Has anyone any suggestions? I can't really afford that type of money and will probably have to do without a christmas present this year. I can deal with that but just hate the feeling I have been blatently taken to the cleaners.

What a surprise SSR has brought this up..... I agree with NJS. There are certainly less female stand ups, especially on TV, but I think they are just as funny as men. If you actually go to live events, like the Hyena cafe in Newcastle, you will probably get to see a genuinely funny female stand up. I think you have to see it live to actually appreciate how hard it is, but certainly, I have witnessed women who make you cross your legs rather than go to the bog and risk getting the piss taken out of you on route.

This is the footy forum equivalent of the peoples' front of Judea tbh.
