You didn't have Papa L with you at the time did you?

Nah... I went in there over christmas. The place I used to work is no longer there - it's now the hairdressers as you go in on the left handside next door to (nearer to the front street than) the butchers. The place further up on the elbow is new (to me). Isn't it called Direct Sports or something and has a label in the window stating that they're NOT Sports Direct? It's years ago I was working there - summer of 1997.

I guess that proves beyond doubt that it wasn't a fake..

"Britain's Bravest Bride". Christ. Mrs SLP will be seething tbh..... What a fuckng munter she is. Very ugly creature, inside and out. I pity the foo.....

It'll be worthy of a reply surely not?

Justin and Gary used to live in my street but I thought that was stretching it for a claim to fame tbh Did you work in Iceland Nope - Impact Sports. Does he still run 'Birthdays'? I thought so til I saw him working the roads the other day! Impact sports is horrendous mate It's not there any more is it? Certainly no longer in St Cuthberts Walk. Mate of my folks owns/owned it.

I know it's a moot point as I'm no longer a season ticket holder - but they can fuck right off IMO. If I was still up there, there's no way in hell I'd renew to line the pockets of those lying bastards.

Has she been stood next to a Van de Graaff generator or something?

Every time I see a new post in this thread, I think her time must be up... I'm amazed it evokes such discussion tbh. EDIT: agree with Alex about the Mirror

Health and Safety wouldn't allow them now like. Aye I know - shame like...

5 Live reported it on Sunday and were basically pissing themselves..

Any excuse to dig out that 'Begbie-style' argyle sweater, eh pud?

Happy birthday Catheriiiiiiiiiine!

I'd totally forgotten about the pencils in Eldon Square...

Is that Sam's brother like?

It certainly did - I bought the 1984 Souvenir LP in there.. Bet that'd be worth a fortune if I still had it now.

Aye the NUSC shop was around the corner. So it was Yep - bought my first 'caser' in that shop.... Spent far too much time in there mid 80s, they knew me by name! They were two old wifeys weren't they? Used to get me Armstrong Galley away bus tickets there. Aye... and if you gave them any lip they weren't adverse to giving you a clip round the ear! Was like an Aladdin's cave that place - stocked full of toon memorabilia.

Trust you....

When I was working in Chester-le-Street, Bryan Robson's brother ran the shop just over the way from ours. When Ravanelli went AWOL from Boro, Justin came in the shop one day and asked me and the other lad working there if we wanted to buy Ravanelli's boots. When I asked if Bryan knew he'd got them he asked "where do you think I got them from?"

Saved a penalty from Gazza.

I think I must be alone when I say that Magma is not real. Can't be. No it was at one of those fooball events at the Metro-Arena where retired players went and played in a tornument. Can't think what's it called though. Soccer Six?
