Renton

A folly is widely described as a folly? Remarkable stuff. Btw, if we're not allowed Knopfler cos he wasn't born in Newcastle, they're not having Adie who was born in Whitley Bay. So there.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-66785518 I think this will be canny enough in the short term (as suspected, 3 years planning permission in the article), especially for families. There aren't actually that many venues suitable for young kids on a match day close to the ground. Use the time to develop some proper plans for the ground.

Tru, but the starting attendance would be in single figures.

You've missed the bit where the founder of the Great North Run, Brendan Foster, said to the other great NE cross country runner of the time "How Crammy, a knarr yer a mackem cunt but its bad publicity and the shadowy cabal of the Newcastle Development Board don't like it. Here's what you're going to do, you're going to deny being a MLF and be claimed by Newcastle, like the Angel of the North, alright 'Marra'?" To which Steve Cram of course bravely sticks up two fingers and says "Fuck you Brendan, I'm a MLF for life, STID, FTM!". That's how it went apparently.

I think there may be a way to Seaburn within distance by running down the A184 but this poses two issues. First, it goes through industrial parks and farmland so not good for spectators at all, with no way of getting there. Second, it would have resulted in a fantastic chicken run across the A19 at Testos cos no way would they close the A19. Honestly, these mackems are so full of shit it's unreal.

Do you think marra? Let's post it anyway, why aye.

Twenty quid is a fortune to them man. You're talking about a population who smuggle cheese slices into football matches and have a whip round to buy a packet of crisps.

Might have been a member of the first team tbh.

This was nice to see on Saturday night and all the moreso if it winds up these gammon cunts.

Fucking biblical yesterday just after the great north run. Washed all that Saharan shit off my car which was nice.

Was trying to work out what anniversary the Mackems were banging on about today (loads of them, even normally sensible ones) cos iirc the takeover happened in October 2 years ago. Then it struck me 9/11, 22 years ago. What a bunch of sick cunts these are, using this disaster to try to score points in a regional football rivalry. I'm sure the relatives of those who died are delighted with this. They really are sad Mackem bastards descending to this. Type of stuff that makes me hate them.

Wrong! There's a thread on the SMB saying the red arrows are all MLFs. Apparently they did this flyover at the Sunderland air show a few years back (remember that? ). All 23 of them. Am fewming me.

This is regarding Brenda Foster. I think these MLF's must have these text quotes on their clipboard. I've heard them say exactly the same things about about Shearer, Jimmy Nail, Dennis, Tim Healey, Sting, Ant McPartlan,, Sam Fender's dad etc. Was going to say, getting so upset about the GNR is a new low for the Mackems, but on reflection, it really isn't. In fact it's par for the course nowadays.

They've got a GNR thread. Starts off okay, "a knarr it's a magfest but it's good for charitee. FTM." Pretty soon descends into absolute insane levels of bitterness. https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/good-luck-for-tomorrow-all-gnr-runners.1615427/

Do they sing "Don't stand so close to me" to you a lot?

"Oh, you're not having a good birthday now? Still., at least you won't have another one .... Silver linings and all that. "

I remember at the time they were installing this (there's a beam that goes across the entire kitchen containing soil pipes, water pipes and electrics) thinking it would be a nightmare if one of these starts leaking. And lo and behold, that's exactly what happened 2 weeks ago. New plumber has fixed it but I'm a grand down and now have to redecorate. Tbh the house never really got finished as I just lost the energy and finance to complete it, and finally lost interest as people dying or nearly dying (including myself) took on greater importance. I've no contacts and J69 is right I'm a beta cuck, can't even hold a drill. My philosophy has always been to earn more so I can pay other people to do these jobs but that's gone a bit wrong recently as I think most plumbers are on a bigger wedge than me. That's shit. Another thing the MSM aren't interested in reporting, fiscal drag. Think I read somewhere it's equivalent to an extra 5% on PAYE this government term alone. I don't mind paying taxes to improve services but look at the state of education, NHS, law, social services, council services. What an absolute piss take this government is.

Well worth a watch.

My builder went bankrupt half way through my build, didn't tell me, kept taking the money. Fortunately he finished most the job but bits were uncompleted I had to pay out of pocket. But he cut corners including using his constantly stoned son as a plumber. Now the new en suites toilet spoil is leaking into the extended kitchen, requiring the ceiling to come down. The builder cunt has a phoenix company but we're left literally in the shit. Anyway, just stuff you have to get on with, not important ateotd. Happy belated birthday HMHM, I am sure your employment situation will be a blessing in disguise.

Is anyone brave enough to tell AH about the absolute belter heat wave we're experiencing over here?

Oh howay, he'd be an absolute box crasher. Got the same genes as his predecessor, Wilson.

Okay, that's enough, stop this nonsense.

I am now actually imagining Chewbacca scoring a winning goal at SJP, ripping off his toon number 9 short to reveal himself in all his fur. Canny. Sign him up.

So apparently it is the Saudi friendly tonight., The mackems are now absolutely fewming that there is no interest in this match, with less than 10% of the ground sold even at a fiver. I guess it goes against there "we worship Saudis" narrative they have brainwashed themselves into. Imagine.

Sigh. Okay, maybe not, my mistake. But Labour weren't in control either when the equality claims were taken to court. And here the Metro newspaper is implying that its "wasteful" Labour's fault for building a cycle path in this article. Howay man, the agenda here by the paper is obvious, get a wedge issue (cycle lanes are quite wedgy), blame Labour, and extrapolate this to the party as a whole. Sunak will use this in the next PMQ or press conference. Drip drip drip. Meanwhile lets not mention tory run Woking which has more than twice the debt of Birmingham (an estimated incredible 2.5 BILLION £) with a 10th the population, and the blame lies fully with dodgy investments. Nothing to see. I mean I know the tories are too far gone for any of this to work now but it shows what an uphill struggle a non-tory party has in this so-called democracy.
