Never seen his lass like so the jury is still out, sadly. My mate works in the metro centre so you might not be far off with Gateshead.

About Alex and MF's man, after seeing Monkey put that photo up, my mate works with someone scarily similar Never seen him with bright headphones though.

Was Sherlock on BBC (with Martin Freeman) any good? Got the blu-ray for 6 quid.

Yes, Dark Brotherhood stuff just opened up. Fuck the main quest

Paging @yourservice to this thread because I need to see a mock-up of Wrongun Monthly with Wyn on the front.

Is Ides of March good? Ryan Gosling is immense in just about everything he's ever been in so got hopes for it.

This has not got enough credit. Hilarious.

This reminds me once of my mate being started on by an adult wearing a dickie bow tie in Digital.

Do not fuck with witches.

a petition Can just imagine Ashley seeing it. "Hold on, Derek. Geordieboyz4eva has posted "get oot our club, you big fat cunterhead" Well, can't argue with that, change it back"

Absolute prick. If anyone finds nothing wrong with those sort of conduct from a chairman, then they're mental.

I'm loving this like. Could spend hours just pottering about.

The worst part of anything like this happening is Leazes using it to score points. Daft carry-on when we're clearly all feeling the same about it.

Good old Dunston. Is that the newly (whey, fairly new) opened one?

A pet love of mine is Stevie's references. Always class.

Off to get mine now. Cracking.

Kicking and Screaming (the 95 one) - Loved it. Very apt considering it mirrored a lot of personal concerns I'll have in about 8 months but aside from that, very well written comedy. It's a bit like Clerks but less smug.

Tell you what, if nowt else, this episode has proved Deadman can swear like a champ.

I can tell you exactly which company erected the exterior signs. Local too, Tyne Valley based. PM, mate?. Me fatha works down the Valley and I live in Lobley Hill. Not in any of that business, just curious

Fucking hell, aye. My mind isn't working. I think we've got another big Xmas rush next year with spring 2013 for new consoles.

I don't see how much these consoles have got left in them tbh. We've got Mass Effect 3 and MAYBE GTA V as your major late-life releases but in the case of GTA V, I can't see that coming out when attention is largely focused on the new consoles. I imagine companies like Respawn, Bungie, Epic and even niche devs like Harmonix aren't going to want to push new releases for these consoles when new ones are round the corner. As Andrew says, it's all dictated by what their competitors do; the Wii U is launching next year and that's now got the power to do third party ports justice and stuff like Mario/Zelda etc are big unit shifters. Ah yeah, Bioshock Infinite is a pretty big game but I'm guessing Epic for example, want a new Gears of War game to be a launch title so they can really get the multiplayer numbers brought from that etc

Wouldn't surprise me to see these in 2013. Lot of the major franchises are wrapping up and they're going to need some of them left over for launches. They've already been stretching the systems to the limits with what they can offer (movie streaming, motion controls, HD re-releases). It was optimistic to expect these things to go for 10 years. Though I suppose the 360 won't be far off.

BTW, I bet Harry Redknapp has his say about this as he does with every other club's business.

And Lee Ryder is bent over so far he's licking the floor. Disgrace to journalism.

Spot on. It's a fucking disgrace. And people can say "but it'll aaalways be St. James like yinah" but you've got to think about 10-15 years into the future. Saltwater was right when he said people are quick to forget. You can forgive running out in cheap shitey Puma kits and plastering Sports Direct everywhere because you get the sense that such advertisement is part and parcel of football nowadays, as sad as it is. But to rename something that is deeply woven into the fabric of the city rankles people that aren't even associated with the club. You've got the likes of Danny Baker on twitter deriding it and he really should have no deep connection or ties either way. You're selling off tradition for 10 million, well not even that because no fucker with any sort of self-respect is going to deal with these two glorified market stall runners, and its symptomatic of the massive disrespect he's got for everyone from top to bottom. He's in a position where he probably despises this football club but realises its power from a brand association POV. And he hates the club because he routinely tears apart anything the fans have any true connection with. Keegan was fucked off, Shearer was fucked off, Hughton was fucked off and there's even players who we connected with because of effort, because of their passion showed that have been tossed aside with little to no respect from the heirarchy. The only way he'll fuck off is if his own spacker-footed stewardship degrades NUFC to the point where it's no longer in a position to give Sports Direct any advertising or reputation boost. But by then, there'll probably be no way back for us.
