Renton

So, we are being forced into using ChatGPT at work so I'm now signed up for it. Naturally, I first used it to make a poem about Gemmill. Took 30 seconds. Not a bad effort. The Ballad of Gemmill In a modest house on a quiet lane, Lives Gemmill, bound by the mundane. An accountant by trade, with columns and sums, His life ticks by to the drumming of thumbs. His wife, aloof, with a scornful glance, Dreams of escape, of a wilder dance. She scoffs at Gemmill’s every try, While he avoids her critical eye. But there’s one friend who ne’er complains, Who hums and spins without refrains. His Roomba, loyal, a partner in dust, A bond of circuits, trust, and rust. When day gives way to the quiet of night, Gemmill competes with spreadsheet might. In Excel duels, he sharpens his art, A master of formulas—but not of the heart. With pivot tables, he vies for glory, Yet his errors rewrite the story. Despite his skill, the truth is grim, He’s always bested, Excel beats him. In Toontastic’s halls, he seeks renown, But his jokes fall flat, and his posts bring frowns. A Newcastle fan with misplaced glee, Predicting Everton’s demise annually. “Surely this year!” he cries in vain, Yet Everton escapes the drop again. His confidence fades, but not his cheer, For Gemmill will try again next year. And though his world may seem askew, To Gemmill, each day brings something new. A quiet man with quirks and flaws, Living his life by unwritten laws. So raise a glass to this peculiar knight, Who battles in spreadsheets deep into the night. For even in the oddest, humblest game, There’s dignity in chasing fame.

Only one of those is happening. Still though.

Ffs we'll smash it tomorrow. Dazzler started the thread already?

God is Geordie. Dazzler is a deity. Rayvin is a seer. We're gonna win the league.

1 1. Good, we need to overtake Forest.

Shall we start vicariously supporting Notts Forest because of Elliot Anderson (and Woods for that matter). Sad Geordie Bastards. Man City just dropped points.

If another East Midlands team flukes the Premier league within the space of a decade am going fucking postal.

Bang average. Rightio. Bruno, Gordon, Joelinton, Tonali, Botman, Hall, Tino are elite international class. We have a whole tier beneath them who are currently lower international class, some of whom are young with masses of potential. On our day, we can compete with anyone in the premier league. I include Liverpool in that, who I genuinely feel we have been unlucky against.

100% this. I firmly believe that even winning the leagure cup would unlock the gateway to the league and beyond. It's a mental thing with us as much as anything. And I dunno, I feel it in my bones its happening this year. Edit: I also believe a cup win would keep PIF motivated.

WHY WAS I BORN IN THIS STUPID UNIVERSE?????

Many cosmologists believe the Universe is infinite. Or that we live in a multiverse of infinite universes. In this scenario we have not only already won the title, infinite times, but my wife, Margot Robbie, is currently giving me a champagne enema as I type.

Finished 7th in the league twice in my lifetime. We finished 7th last year and were disappointed. Hell, we finished 7th under Glen fucking Roeder and 5th under Pardew. Four appearances in Europe against two teams. Wigan have played six games. Massive.

Sunderland always had a bigger issue with racism than us, and still does. Newcastle, especially now, is much less insular and more cosmopolitan. Like has been said, just last year they were singing songs about the size of Diallo's penis. Darren Bent. July riots. Tommy Robinson always found it fertile land. Brexit. I was at the SoL for the England match against Turkey where it resembled a brown shirt ralley. Fucking horrible racist place Sunderland is. How this prick has the nerve is beyond me. Also I'm not clear how dressing as an arab (which I have never personally witnessed) is racist but apparently calling them camel humpers, murderers and generally considering then subhuman isn't? "Article" on Andy Cole. Beardsley getting fired, you what?

Given who posted this, the highlighted here is off the fucking scale. This is the most bitter obsessed mackem prick ever. As for their stadium being expanded, there's literally been a thread on their board about it recently that was several thousand posts long. The consensus was "Build it and they will come" even though they don't currently come and there's plenty of space

This is what always amuses me about the mackems. Despite there literally being massive amounts of evidence pointing to the huge gap in the respective qualities of the leagues, they are just unable to grasp it. Even when they were in League 1 they didn't get it. The premier league is the most elite league in the World by a distance. It's also why none of us are arsed if they do scrape promotion. It would be great watching them get hammered day in day out for a whole year. Or they can stay where they are. It's win win.

I think he's way too slow for the premier league, my impression anyway. I hope Rigg does well as a local lad.

It'll be Chris Rigg (NUFC fan btw) and Jobe Bellingham. From what I've seen of Sunderland this year, its impossible to predict how either would cope with the premier league. GIven how shit Jack Clarke has been, who far outshone these two, its quite a claim. And the fact is, Lewis Miley is already there.

"Eyy marra, do you hate the mags n'arll?" As has been said, I'm trying to imagine a scenario where this would come up in any normal conversation. I can't. Utterly bizarre.

Clubs are hated because they are good. The more other clubs hate us, the more its a proxy for how far we've come. I can guarantee that away fans don't hate coming up to Newcastle and having a good time though. Or even coming up to Sunderland, then going to Newcastle to have a good time. Never really felt any resentment or hostility from away fans before or after the match.

I'm jealous as fuck of their two future England captains. https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/mags-on-social-media.1647850/

The mackems are stating we referred to Andy Cole in racist terms. I can honestly say I have NEVER heard him referred to in these terms and suspect that even in 93 if somebody had said this they would have been pulled up on it or just outright punched in the face. The fucking brass neck of these fuckers too after the racist riots LESS THAN 6 months ago in their city centre. Cunts. Anyway, nice to see Brian Griffin is going to spread the message, not for petty football rivalry reasons, no sir. What a bunch of sad mackem bastards they are.

I mean to be fair despite popular received wisdom, there's no real pharmacological reason not to drink with antibiotics with a few exceptions - metronidazole being the main one. Obviously drinking when you are ill isn't recommended and you're likely to aggravate stomach issues you may have with the antibiotics. From what you've said this bloke has quite a serious alcohol use disorder and it looks like it is only heading one direction. I want to feel sympathy but from what you've said with his interaction with his family and work etc he just sounds like an arsehole. Maybe one day he'll self reflect one day but maybe he won't. I don't know how he can be given work responsibility in the mean time though, sounds like you can't rely on him. The NHS is there for everyone though, even people like him.

Some people dream about buying a house in Alnmouth. Some people dream of Darras Hall. Some people dream of buying in Jesmond, near the Dene. But Viv and his wife had a special dream. They dreamed above their station. They dreamed with no limits. They dreamed of living in Walkerville.
