prefer the red one personally

Top row, 2nd from right please but swap the sleeves with the shirt to the left of it. Also make the sponsor's logo blue again and I think we have a winner I love the 'Owen' name/number effect. What would that look like with the proper premiership font?? MattM4 to do a mock up?

Don't think he is and I agree with him. Sod the 'association' with the mackems. They;d be a bit fucked if they didn't use black numbers and i'm sure they don't say they'd prefer a different colour from black just because of us. Red is the most readable contrast against the black and white. The nearest we came to getting anything like as clear was in the days of the old Asics kit when we used white numbers on a black patch. Everything else, perhaps with the exception of blue has been illegible. We used red numbers for decades up until 1993. No one complained back then!

Mind, as one of the free London papers reported with a straight face yesterday under its "TRAVEL CHAOS!!!1!" headline, "The road accidents began even before the snow started." Maybe they're just shite drivers* in the first place. * No, Alex, not a euphemism. That was more my point tbh... Might have been travel chaos but that was fuck all to do with the weather and more to do with the sackless turds who inhabit the roads.

Fucking Southerners are soft as shite! We had a dusting of snow yesterday and the fuckwits are driving on the M3 at less than 30mph. The road's fucking gritted and all the snow is on the embankments you fucking retards! I'd love to get these mongoloids to drive through Consett when the snow's drifting. It'd be comedy central. Better still, get them to drive on the A66 over the pennines - one of them thought I was taking the piss when I told him there were 10ft striped poles on the side of the road were for measuring the depth of the snow...

Your second point is valid. At the time we met, I would have been about 14stone. but I've shed the weight over christmas and continued it into the new year. your first point is fubar. I'm 5ft 10 and 12½ stone. There's no way on god's green earth that your BMI is less than mine. You were also on eye level with me so either you're lying your arse off or you walk with buckled legs!

Took one look at you and feared for it's cholesterol levels tbh

Seconded! And I'd argue he's more than half a stone heaver than me too!

Aye, there's been a fair few fatalities with people going for a dip in the rivers from what I've heard.

He must be a pussy... Rob W's been bitten in half by a shark and still lived to tell the tale! (footnote to J69. Notice I'm having a bit of banter with someone else - it does happen )

Not at all because it's all down to the company's IT policy. All HR are interested in is that a person carries out the job they were employed to do. What the person does in addition to that is at the discretion of their line manager. The only time HR will get involved is if the line manager reports that the individual is under-performing. HR do not sit there all day analysing web hits. Christ, even IT don't do that, they only scrutinise them if they are asked to do so in the event of a possible disciplinary.

Actually it's quite the opposite. For HR to get involved, it needs to have been reported by the employee's manager who more often than not will resort to having a quiet word rather than directly involve HR. For the amount of paperwork and beaurocracy involved, it's would have to be serious shortcomings in the amount of work someone is doing to take it that far. Even if managment do want to take it that far, they need conclusive proof that productivity is being compromised purely because of web surfing. In the time I've been working with my lot (7 years), we've only disciplined one person for abuse of the internet who had been surfing constantly between 8am and 6pm and accessing adult sites which had not been categorised as such. The amount of work involved to prove it was vast and costly and even then, he kept his job and had a final warning. And that's a company who are the third biggest construction firm in Europe and who have close to 4,000 PC users in the UK!

ask HR if you can see your workplace acceptable internet use policy, I think you'll be surprised If you don't have one, then you can get sacked for doing anything they don't like, so unless you work at the Chron.... Actually most employers these days use a filtering tool (such as Websense) on their proxy to ban sites by category. HR will specify that certain categories are excluded (adult, gambling, gaming, violence, propaganda, etc) and then all the IT dept to manage the rest who will tend to manage it so that the bandwidth remains within the limits for legitimate business use. We've recently banned Streaming Media sites (YouTube, etc) and Personal Web Space sites (MySpace, etc) as we were maxing out our bandwidth. That alone reduced our usage by 25% An employer will not sack you for browsing a football forum at work, they'd sack you for not actually doing your job and instead browsing the web. So long as your productivity is there, there's no way they'll discipline someone simply for browsing. Besides the point, more of a reason for not allowing images such as a pair of tits is that children can get access to forums such as this and N-O. Yes there is a disclaimer when you register where you have to state you're at least 13 but there is no procedure to prevent minors not registering. More importantly, most forums have the ability to be read even when you're not registered. Rules are rules mate - you knew before you posted that it contravened those set on N-O so you can't really complain...

only got a yellow card, meaning he'd miss the final if we won part timer You're daring to challenge the knowledge of Rob W?? He was there man, stood on the touch line right next to where he fouled him immediately before he jumped on a plane to check on the M25 traffic!

Kept them all since a kid. Only one I never bought was the one with the sheriffs badge on the back. Fucking horrible. A few of mine went the journey as they were so wrecked. Wish I still had the umbro one with NUFC in the shape of a ball of the badge (that peeled off more with each wash). Remember that shitty Bukta kit too? My first kit that one, in a V neck and aye the badge is shot to shit on it. Classic that one, think they were re-producing it recently, just without the umbro diamond logo. That'll be this: Source: http://shop.nufc.co.uk/product.pasp?txtProductID=164200 They've also done the follow up shirt (the one before we changed the badge to a crest) but they've got the sleeves wrong - they never had elasticated ends on them, the black and white stripes continued to the end. Source: http://shop.nufc.co.uk/product.pasp?txtProductID=164203 I had both of them and can confirm BOTH had the umbro sign ON. Aye I know they did but seeing as these ones are not being made by Umbro, they can't hoy the logos on it...

driving to EGham - don't arrive on the M25 before 09:30................. Oh I dunno, it's pretty good at 7am!

Fucking hell, the self-flattery is overwhelming. You made a stupid-arse comment which I responded to. I've done the same to many others on here the only difference being they can take it and give as good in return which you obviously can't. Don't like you? Wouldn't say that at all, I'm indifferent about you - couldn't care less. That's more accurate. Let this be the end of the matter as I've better things to do than respond to your inane bullshit...

Quality comeback, must try that one sometime

No need - the point was that he claimed it was everyone else going on about him not drinking when in reality it was him. Digging up posts about me discussing my social habits is hardly a counter argument. A comparable would be me constantly claiming that I don't sit in my garage all hours of the day playing old arcade games. But then I don't....

Think we might need a sweep on which minute the first sending off will occur

You might bet but I know you can't....

By searching for posts created by 'J69' containing the word 'drink'?? Hardly stalking....

Get yourself a book on the history on Newcastle United - we excel at that very kind of thing tbh

Sounds like a Panini sticker swapping session!
