I think I mentioned that about Steve Wraith after seeing a poster with him on it. It's a star-studded affair like as you can imagine. And I remember as a bairn going with Walker's finest, i.e. the kids whose Dads were members of the Jubilee Club, to see a panto every year. Often at Sunderland Empire and usually well into January for some reason (probably because it was cheaper). We used to a free selection box as well. I dare anyone to beat that anecdote.

Now you've been rumbled for copying other people's posts on several occasions are you just going to keep repeating yourself?

I've seen absolutely nothing in him that suggests he's good enough.

He hangs out at all the top venues like. If he's not in Bet Fred he's in Toon Ice

What a cunt. You heard he practically lives in Bet Fred? Living the dream like, y'knaa? Apparently the lass in there wanted to phone the police after he refused to leave / was going on like a fucking tit. The manager talked her out of it as he spends £100s there every week.

No idea. I did once get Jockie Wilson's autograph at Peter Barratt's though.

Thought this would be about the old bar in town with the Wilf Lunn shit on the walls.

I remember him, although not from the show which was before my time.

Anyone seen Indoor League on ESPN Classic? It's a 70s show where people play bar games, darts, billiards etc. It's presented by Fred Truman. It's about as shit as it sounds but I caught about 5 minutes of it the other day. These two black lads were on and Truman asked where they were from. They said 'London' so he said 'Where you from originally?' Fuck me, people were ugly back then as well.

Aye, I think one point per game would probably be enough. I don't fancy putting that theory to the test like.

Fuck all like Jenas, who was very gifted footballer with a heart the size of a pea. If you squint they look similar from a distance though.

Christ on a bike.

Did you miss my question there, LBT?

No. I realise English isn't your first language but you're either struggling with basic comprehension or attributing non-existent views to other people. But to play you at your own game, are you suggesting the salary on offer and the working transfer budget constraints wouldn't have an effect on the type of candidate we could attract to take over as manager?

Whenever I read your posts I think of Gareth Gates on Bo' Selecta for some reason.

I was just trying to ascertain if I'm wasting my time / money. Looks like I am!

I don't normally plan that far ahead like mate, what with my less than full social calendar. I'll keep it in mind though. And I think we could grab some food at the Tyne if people are hungry. Does the Trent still do toasties?

That in itself tells you everything you need to know.

I meant flax oils anyway like but I assume the Omega 3,6 & 9 have similar benefits?

I don't think many people lay all the blame at Ashley's door. Pardew did an amazing job last season but also got lucky with injuries and foreign players bedding in straight away (Cabaye and Cisse) then got Ben Arfa playing well in the 2nd half of the season. Think about it though, he's a bloke with an indifferent managerial record who hasn't got a massive amount to spend and, as I alluded to, is on peanuts. Now, that's not to say we couldn't have performed better this year and that he's not partly to blame but I'm not sure what the fuck people expect at the same time. Aye, you could point out we were poor when nearly everyone was fit early doors but we've been ravaged by injuries compared to last season. And are two most creative players are now out and we've got a small squad to start with. And you keep banging on about the Ba thing but bearing in mind what I've just said I can understand Pardew doing all he can to keep him happy so he doesn't want to fuck off in January. Fair enough it's possibly back-fired a bit (although Cisse has looked poor anyway so I don't think it's just a case of playing 4-3-3 with Ba on the left and everything starting to come together).

It's actually a mix of different seed oils etc. although flaxseed oil is the main ingredient. it's about 5 or 6 quid for 60 500mg capsules. You can probably get it cheaper like, I haven't looked to be honest.

It's good for you anyway though isn't it? It's the only supplement I take as I eat quite a lot of fresh fruit anyway.
