You'll get the space bar right one of these days

You thinking about champagne enemas?

Well, both are ok but 'stadia' is just pretentious (it's the correct Latin form).

Stadiums

Aye Blissfully unaware of how even his mates think he's a cunt. My mate from uni had his in Newquay, went 'coasteering' as an 'activity', got a hairline fracture in his back, spent about six weeks in hospital and had to postpone the wedding for nigh on a year.

Fish revealing a little too much for comfort there

I thought I recognised him (I quite liked that Magic City thing he did - set in Miami just after the Cuban Revolution). He looks pretty different (had to google him).

That was in the news recently but it's only the recommendations of a recent report for government I think.

Ah right. I'm pretty sure it said that on the news this morning. Perhaps they've not reported it in the article on their site because of her age.

It was just the angle the photo was taken at. Iirc Gemmill's comment was "ratemypoo.com" :lol: Is that still a thing btw? How was it ever a thing?

The sister's been charged according to the beeb.

Tbh I preferred the cupcakes where Cookie Monster looked like he was eating shit

Aye, I can't get my head round any of it to be honest.

We had some pretty awful news at work this week. There was a lad who did his sandwich year from Northumbria University with us two years back. We'd normally have an IT undergrad but we'd just taken an IT grad on so we decided on using someone studying in the marketing area to try and help raise our social media profile and all that sort of thing. A lass from another company in the building (all the lasses fancied him as he was a handsome young lad) said they'd just seen on the Daily Mail that he'd been killed. In July last year he'd started working down in London in marketing. Only a month or so later he was out on a night out with a colleague. He was in a taxi with him and, according to the story, as a prank he'd thrown the other lad's shoe out the window. There was a bit of a scuffle so the taxi driver chucked them both out. It must have continued and this lad's colleague ended up punching him in the back of the head. He went to A&E the following night complaining of a severe headache. He collapsed and died with a massive brain haemorrhage. He was 23. I'm not just saying it but he was a genuinely lovely lad and one where you felt the world was his oyster. It was in the paper because the colleague of his had just been found guilty of his manslaughter. Apparently the same lad got done for drink driving in 2003, then again a year later and also had a conviction in 2013 for battery where alcolhol was again a factor. The comments from the prosecuting QC also implied there were a few other cautions and the like along the same lines. He's only 32. What a fucking waste of a life.

Speaking of which http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-york-north-yorkshire-38573167 What a fucking laugh, eh? Probably wears novelty socks

Typical Fish, booze on the brain.

Depends what you're after really. Benton / Forest Hall are really well linked in terms of public transport etc. and only a little bit further out than the likes of South Gosforth but are pretty much leafy suburbs. Heaton and South Gosforth are more 'urban' in you like with a much greater choice of places to eat and drink with decent boozers you can walk to with the likes of the Millstone and Brandling with the latter. None of them are particularly cheap like in terms of buying a place.

I heard about that on the news this morning. What the fuck?

It should be sold along those lines. Especially since half the disenfranchised types (for want of a less polite phrase) won't bother voting come the next GE anyway. And it looks like any gains from UKIP could be Labour rather Tory losses anyway. Just thinking though, I wonder how much the press and the traditional parties will go after UKIP. Because going after Trump seemed to have the opposite effect to that which was intended. Loads of fuckwits will lap up his shit

Nah, you're right actually. Given the way it's changed so much since they were ITK when Shepherd was running the show it was an unfair criticism when I think about it. I think they're a couple of miserable buggers but in terms of what they do, i.e. stats, match reports, ticket and travel info and the like they're comfortably the best NUFC site out there.

True enough. Especially since she stayed out of the campaign for her own political gain.
