Renton

They stood in Walker and Walkergate. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes if you look at the election results, here. https://democracy.newcastle.gov.uk/mgElectionElectionAreaResults.aspx?EID=14&RPID=19406288 But if you're in need of another clue think Pimm's drinking shithouse.

There was quite a lengthy piece on the BBC news at 10 on this publication tonight, with links between conspiracy and extremist terror groups developing. As it happens @Howmanheyman, i almost certainly know who delivered that through your door. Used to be friends of ours, they bought into the covid conspiracy shit, and have gone completely down the rabbit hole. Friendship with me is now completely out the question what with me being a big pharma schill and all. They have however delivered that paper to us before, they live in Walkerville. Both of them stood as an independent in the last council elections.

Christ, a review of Newcastle 1980s pub tribute bands. Niche.

Loved the Archer back in the day, like you I don't recall any bands either. Was a bit of a sixth form hang out iirc. Edit: come to think of it I have fond memories of all my underage drinking hangouts. Odd that.

Weather was pretty shit on the coast again until about 3pm, been like thia all week. A couple of years ago this went on for months. Cold grey mornings before the sun could break theough by which time its too fucking late. Wish global warming would get a move on so I can temporarily gloat during the 10 year window when I get a Med climate whilst you islanders roast to death, before we all do anyway.

The main Fender thread (there are of course others) is currently 53 pages. Latest point of discussion is whether Brian Johnson of AC/DC should be a MLF or not. He's from Dunston, same as Gazza, which was County Durham territory when he was born you see. Its a disgrace he supported Fender last night apparently. Just wait until they find out his first band was called " Geordie". Oh aye, and of course the Blaydon Races was about county Durham too, so is actually a mackem song, we have that old chestnut. Pretty obsessive stuff. But apparently we're more obsessed by them having Beyonce and Pink concerts. Come on lads, own up, who's upset by this and reported it on social media?

You had me until this. Preposterous.

Do they host massive car boot sales like Reynolds tried at Darlington? A mackem car boot sale at the Stadium of Shite, that would be a sight to behold.

7 empty crisp packets and a cheese slice.

Apparently the SoL IS more suited to hosting big acts than SJP for two reasons. It has a bigger carpark and better access. It has a more Liberal curfew cos its built on derelict land, not in a thriving city centre. That's it, that's what mackems are proud about.

I genuinely like Big River. I'm as cynical as the next man, more so probably, and would hate to have been there. Prefer a bit of regional pride and nostalgia to the nationalistic bollocks we're force fed all the time otherwise. But each to their own anyway, if people want to do this it isn't impacting you or the mackems. They've got a 2000 post thread on the lad, absolutely tapped.

He's alright. Wouldn't want to see him in a stadium, but massive credit to the lad for getting where he has without relying on Simon fucking Cowell. Hope his third album is decent and he he gets Sheeran levels of success. Also got to say, that crowd looks less partisan than I expected tbh.

Every time you wish for something it backfires. Though I can't help thinking you're right on this. If this happens, the damage for the tories would be immense imo. Absolute rank corruption. Also I think he's going to try it, it's the only explanation for what gonads said earlier.

Ahh, right. Clearly got Johnson's hand up her arse still. I hate the cunt but love watching him wreck his party.

She resigned in February didn't she (well, stepping down anyway)? But yes, peerage incoming. It's not beyond the realms of possibility that the tories could lose that seat even with a 24,000 majority. Pretty nlikely mind. Alok Sharma's seat will definitely be lost.

I was literally thinking this is the US version of the Gemmills. They do everything so much better.

There was an interesting interview with Scaramucci this week on the News agents. He reckoned Trump probably won't run as he and his legal team will be overwhelmed with firefighting and, importantly, he doesn't have the support of his family any more. I find following US politics too confusing so can't give an opinion to this. He also said Pence had no chance, but neither did DeSantis as he's a charisma vaccum. Also that a lot of people are unwilling to vote for Biden because they think they will end up with Harris who is regarded as completely incompetent. Made me think, why do we have such a low grade of politicans in the anglosphere presently?

Fucking hell. That's horrific, thoughts for him, his family, and the people who found him.

Not sure if that's 9 or 12 months you mean but either way its not too shabby (and fuck working normally on your notice period btw, just do the minumum if you have to). It's inevitable if you've worked somewhere for a long period it's incredibly stressful to have a change like this forced upon you, but often it works out for the best. But you're doing the right thing at the moment, focus on your MIL and supporting your wife for the probably inevitable awful time ahead, this is more important, and you're brain will be turning its cogs subconciously in the background coming up with work/life solutions and inevitably come up with a eureka moment. May be you can take over Caroline Lucas's role? Good luck in any case.

You should have been sued for waste of NHS resources. Nobody ever died of a broken fart.

Alternative- "Howmanheymana'veshitmeself". HMHM, loperamide (diocalm) is your saviour. Less than a quid for 6 down the B&M in the forum. 👍

Well, well, well, I've just uncovered @RobinRobin is in fact a MLF and is just here to infiltrate us and for the free gifs of course.

Ha'way marra, stop being selective in your posts. The follow up post conclusively shows Athletico Madrid was founded by a MLF. A proper kit historian has said so. FTM.

The lovely Alabama has her lovely arse near the fender ironically.

They hate him for telling the truth. They love Allerdyce for selling a lie. Mackems man.
