  1. Who are the "several people from the coast" who disagree with the real "several other people from the coast" ????
  2. Who ?? The several people from the coast who have participated in/ have knowledge of this thread, are of the exact opposite to "your understanding". Or has JawD's lass from Holywell (not the coast) been cloned ???
  3. There's loads of independent butchers up north, they live and die by their pies. Football pies are not to be trusted in the main (bigger clubs anyway as they'll buy from "manufacturers"), smaller clubs will likely buy/promote one of aforementioned local butchers. McSween's is "the" Edinburgh butchers, (their Haggis pies are immense) bet Hearts/Hibs don't buy from him, will be Hall's stuff (at best).
  4. Dobbies, Ponteland, of all places, do bloody lovely one's btw
  5. You can hardly write it, let alone pull it to pieces man You got the placing of literate/illiterate in the wrong to descripe you/me tbh Put me on ignore if I wind you up so much, will detrimentaly effect your education, but hey ho !
  6. I answered the question truthfully. Your liking of Steeeeevie G, says it all tbh
  7. I totally agree with Chez, he's right. Trust a Scotchie to be thick
  8. Whitley's demise started with the Metro and the ease of access it gave to townies (jumping through non existent barriers, without paying their fare, I might add), familiarity breeds contempt, townies or rather Scotchies (as we coasties called them) started to think they belonged in Whitley and so spent more and more time there, wondering at such marvels as the sea and sand and proper football pitches, available to all. Thus sadly dragging Whitley down. (I haven't mentioned the tennis courts as I would guess Scotchies would not know what they were).
  9. Word usage angst Anyway the thought that the nice folks of the coast would want to align themselves with anything "town" is laughable, our disdain starts to rise as you progress along the river from Tynemouth, getting greater and greater with each passing, progressively worse example of Scotchie-ville's from Shields to Blaydon. Stick to kicking your Netto economy-beans tin around your back lane (mind the dogshit!) and leave thoughts of our wide open spaces and beaches to us.
  10. A lass from Holywell (which never in a million years is "the coast") said it was uncommon, Chez from the coast, me from the coast, my lads from the coast all have heard it used commonly. Would reckon it originated at the coast tbh, Metro opened 1980, easy for town kids to jump it (you couldn't jump the train easily) and get to the coast and was a word likely used to describe the scruffy interlopers.
  11. I'm from the coast and my lads (both now mid 20's) always used to call them Scotchie's when younger (a lot younger) "Not going to the park on Churchill as so and so says it's full of Scotchies", "was a load of Scotchies at the station" etc. Charva's a comparatively recent term I reckon, never heard it until a few years ago (a good few years - but you know what I mean) I used the term when I worked down Ipswich some 10 years or so ago and they hadn't a clue what I was on about, they called the equivalent social class pikey's. "Charva!, what's a charva?" - explained and they'd say "Oh you mean pikeys".
  12. Huge PR opportunity for Wonga, let the muslim lads play without the logo, they'll stick out like a sore thumb amongst the other running about advertising hoardings, and all the talk will be about what's not there as opposed to the blithe acceptance/ignoring of logo's on strips. Oh Aye - and remove the arm patches whilst they're on.
  13. Despite the fact that these vulnerable North Easterners even in their direst moments are inestimably better off than said slave labourers, unreal!!! Hypocrisy rules
  14. Nah just ask him what the working conditions of the folk who made his favourite trainers are like
  15. If you care about morality, why follow a sport where the stars are paid, by any measure, obscene amounts. surely £20k a week is more than enough, what's left could be given to the poor. Morality and football not in the same hotel let alone in the same bed. Stupid iPad !!! Re the pound nonsense
  16. Absolutely spot on. Btw In what sort of establishment, and where, does Mr Baker get his shit made ??
  17. And THAT is the sad truth of the matter, work all your life, pay your dues and when you need help don't dare ask. When the organisations who "should" help don't, is there any wonder that other organisations are there to "fill the gap" and make a wedge doing it.
