What about Loyalist Terrorists in Northern Ireland? You had the likes of the UDA, UVF, UFF etc planting bombs, blowing people up and shooting people. They were from Northern Ireland - part of the UK and we're fighting for a cause to keep NI in the UK. They called themselves British, would use the Union Jack. British born and Pro-British in every sense, and yet they were also terrorists.

ah well, cheers anyway

It's close to the city centre It's neither rough or posh

Send the buggers back! EDIT: And I was one minute too late. Never mind. I have a cd by george burdon, it is all about the north east. This is his music though not traditional. Will this help? If you send me your email I will send you home newcastle by busker I've got Home Newcastle as well. I'm kind of looking for the traditional stuff, that's what I'm short of. I've got more contemporary NE stuff and NE rock bands etc

Send the buggers back! Ha! It might not be the most welcoming thing for a bunch of foreign students to hear like! He was playing a Lancastrian as well. Cheers if you've got some stuff though.

The Trains. I'm used to them, but if it's warm and I have the windows open, you can't hear the TV, Radio, CD player etc when an Intercity goes past.

This is probably a long shot, but I'll ask anyway. I'm helping out the International Students team at Northumbria Uni at the minute, and we're organising a North East themed night for the new international students next week. I'm trying to put some music together, and I'm going with a mixture of stuff by NE bands and also some more traditional songs. It's the traditional songs that I'm having a few problems with. I've trapsed around and the libraries don't have a lot (the Central did, but it's shut cause it's getting knocked down). I've got a few things (Blaydon Races) but I need some more. Does anyone have any links or anything they'd be prepared to upload for me? I know it's a long shot, but if anyone can help, it's much appreciated.

Heaton - Do I win?

That sounds a lot like the History theory modules I have to do for my History degree. They drive me mad. I find Postmodernist theory the most annoying, infuriating and contradictory load of shite. Postmodernists are a bunch of arseholes, but even some of the more traditional theories like Marxism are dull.

Aye. I did Spanish at school, and I was alright, apart from the f*cking tenses o as a aimos ais an, o es e eimos eis en. We used to get taught some silly saying to help us remember. 'I talk to you about he or she, but you are too polite to answer back.' Never worked.

Nah. Interesting thing about Football in America is that the Association Football rules VERY NEARLY became the standard Football code in the US. In the 1860s, there was a club founded in Boston called Oneida Football Club, who played to rules which were prodominantly kicking and discouraged handling. Most of the influential American Universities (Havard, Princeton, Columbia, Dartmouth) favoured the Association rules. The exception was Yale, who, favoured Rugby rules. Yale persuaded the others to adopt the Rugby rules, with a few modifications, which developed into Gridiron. Had they not been persuaded, then Association Football could have been the dominant Footballing Code in the US.

I like N-O, but I think some of the moderation is a bit heavy handed. Calling someone a Cock end, isn't exactly the nicest thing you can call someone, it's quite mild really. I don't think it deserves a banning.

A few times. I was in the school choir at Primary School, and we went to St James' for something. I can't remember what. All I remember is that Look North came down, and we were given packets of Tudor crisps by John Anderson and Mirandinha. I was on Tyne Tees News/Look North when I was 11. The Queen and Prince Phillip came to our school to open a Gymnastics Centre, and we were all lined up. Me and my friends could be seen in the background, waving and jumping about like dickheads at the TV cameras. There were also glimpses of me in the crowd on the Tyne Tees Match and Sky for a few years, because at the time I sat in the old family enclosure in front of the East Stand, and was about 3 rows from the front and almost on the halfway line.

I started there in 90. Mr Wright was my form teacher. I was never taught by O'Sullivan, but everyone knew she was a nutter. A total schizo. I think the best English teacher to wind up was Hobbs. He'd go purple and start shouting in a high voice in his silly Yorkshire/Lancashire accent, which just made things worse for him because it encouraged people even more.

I've not got any myself. My Grandma has a school photo of me when I was about 6 or 7, proudly wearing my Newcastle top (the mid 80s Umbro one with the black V-neck).

There was one kid in my year who always went down called Wazza. I forget what his real name was. I just remember him putting his green coat over his head and racing down to pick up all the money and seeing him come up with his coat covered in spit. It was vile.

I never knew you went to Benfield as well? F*cks sake the Hockle Pit was the most disgusting thing ever, but it just had to be seen.

He did mention matchday reports like. So, it's a fair assumption.

If you've got a strong radio, you MIGHT be able to pick up BBC Radio Five Live, but I don't know. But that's your best bet. They broadcast Premiership, Championship, FA Cup, League Cup, Champions League and UEFA Cup games. On Saturday afternoon, they have 2 or 3 games on, as well as updates and scores from all the other games. It starts at about 12pm (1pm in Germany) on a Saturday, and usually goes on until 6pm (7pm), when it is followed by a football phone in show. They have one or two games on on a Sunday afternoon, from 1pm (2pm) until about 6pm (7pm). And there is usually coverage of a match of some description on most weeknights between 7-10pm (8-11pm). If not, then they're talking about football. Frequencies, are both AM, I'm afraid. 693 or 909. I really don't know if you'll be able to pick it up in Germany, but that's at least the station to try.

How do you have a fake rip? What was it, drawn on? I had LEE jeans when I was a kid like and also Pepe. 173886[/snapback] You used to get clip on Keyrings with Pepe jeans.

Ah, the A-Team. My Mam never used to let me and my brother watch it, though we were allowed to watch Dukes of Hazzard on BBC1. We often stayed at my Grandma's on a saturday night if my parents were going out and she'd always put the A-Team on for us. I remember my great grandma used to say to her, 'you can't let them watch that, it's in bits you know.' meaning that there were adverts. She used to watch ITV all the time but used to get annoyed that it was 'in bits'. I liked Dukes of Hazzard, but I prefered the A-Team and used to like staying at my Grandmas cos I got to watch it.Used to watch the A-Team and then You Bet! which was a bit crap but alright when you're a kid.

I remember the marble wash ones. I had a pair myself.
