It's called a 'show' in Sunderland apparently

He did, aye. Always knew I was related to him but only found out relatively recently Alan was his son

Might've known this would go soopafan sooner or later. Glad I wasn't disappointed

4/5

Bet they got pissed after you left

Saw Voderman in real life once (at the London Eye) and I can confirm she has a nice big arse.

Remember Toonprick's crack about training his tastebuds to discern the subtleties of a single malt when it was mixed with Pepsi Max?

First game was New Year's Day 1983 (had to look it up to check as I couldn't remember if it was 83 or 84). I went with me Dad and it was in the old benches bit down by the pitch at the front of the then newish East Stand. Don't remember much about the game other than it being against Carlisle United and us being 1-nil up then 2-1 down. Keegan scored both our goals but I can only remember the volleyed equaliser. Loved the atmosphere, especially the last 15 mins or so when we pushed for a winner. The Newcastle side included KK (obviously), Terry Mac, Chris Waddle and Imre Varadi. 'Pop' Robson played for Carlisle and Bob Stokoe was their manager. I think it was the first time I'd seen adults behave like that.

Think it might have been when I was about 15 on a Saturday afternoon in 'Le Cafe Noir', which was a hilarious-named wine bar type place situated next to where the escalators were in the then newly completed Eldon Gardens. That whole area was later Scruffy Murphy's then The Goose in the Garden. Thought I was holding it together quite well when I got home until my Mam took one look at me, smelt me breath and said, with barely contained disdain "You smell like your Dad. Where have you been?"

Another classic:

Love this:

Remember this as well in the Viz 'Tatalogue':

Aye, all this crack about Corbyn tearing the party apart is more "we're going to tear it apart when he wins".

Yes. Next!

But you never read a book in your 20s or 30s.

I guess that's why Corbyn is seen as such a radical, i.e. compared to the rest, when in fact he's nothing of the sort. I also think he might appeal to the under 25s, the demographic which votes the least. If you can appeal to a large proportion of those who didn't vote, you're onto something. The crack about not being able to win from the left is a myth perpetuated by the same people who want you to believe austerity is a necessity and for similar reasons I think.

I agree. But I thought that about Yanga-Mbiwa too and that worked out well.

Sure is, honey

I know but they're fucking massive all the same.

Remember I had to catch a huntsman spider in our 'rainforest hut' 3 nights running up in TNQ in Aus. I was half cut on each occasion like, which helped. CT (Paul Hogan voice), that's not a spider.

Aye. That's not going to happen all the time though.

Forgot about that. The way he stayed down as well :lol:
