Asprilla

I wanna visit the US but after having seen so much of it on telly Im bound to be disappointed. I wanna see New York, Hollywood, Los Angeles, Disney Land, the Grand Canyon, Cowboys and cacti, visit cape canavaral, have breakfast in a roadside diner, go to the whitehouse, watch a denver broncos game and go jellystone park. knaa what i meen lyek? would be quite a hectic weekend i suspect 36915[/snapback] I'm lucky enough to have been to New York and do the Deli/Diner thang. Also the White House. I have to say it was incredible. They're starting direct flights from Newcastle to New York next year so I'm hoping to go again with my wife.

Ah well, you get 5 here! Give us your other 2, people!

Assuming they ran out of celebrities and needed some "laypeople", what 5 things would you try and get banned? I'd go for: 1: Moths 2: Litter 3: Wreckless driving 4: Homeowners who "just bought at the right time" 5: Robbie Williams

Wired for Sound Carrie We don't talk anymore

Or are you just pleased to see me?!

It's not always banter, we both know that. Today though, what the heck, here you are- a jovial insult: "Even Newcastle's gay scene is firmly rooted in tradition" 36788[/snapback] You see, much better! Look, I think you came here far to openly on the attack, which is why we got very defensive. Fairs fair I reckon. 36793[/snapback] Fairs fair. I'm touchy cause I've had a bit of a hard time fitting in up here at times.

Yeah! Bloody Northerners! *scarpers* (nice to meet you BTW)

So when you do it it's just craic huh? 36742[/snapback] Aye, he's joking, you knew that though, right? 36743[/snapback] I wasn't sure tbh. That's the trouble with "-ist" jokes. They're so much easier to give out than to take. I think we can agree on that.

I worked in Torquay for a bit when I was labouring, it's a lovely place if I remember rightly (but that was about 15 years ago!) I'm from near Liskeard which is about 15 miles from Plymouth.

Steve. Fuck off. You're a twat. 36695[/snapback] FLOUNCE ALERT!!! 36733[/snapback] I can take it. You're just a little nob jumping on the top of the pile on.

Thanks dude, I appreciate your advice.

In the sense that I was trying to say sorry and you had a little pop. 36684[/snapback] In what way is that cowardly, out of interest? 36685[/snapback] Because to apologise you are effectively showing humility. To attack at that point is cowardly as the other person is in a position of weakness. It's an abuse of trying to be decent to somebody. 36689[/snapback] The humility is somewhat diluted by what's gone before though. Not that I consider humility to be weakness but I take your point mate. Why don't you just stop posting such inflamatory stuff on here? That way you might get some decent craic. You may well have been trying to stimulate some debate with the threads you started today but, given your track record on here, it's hardly surprising people assumed you were fishing for some bites. 36699[/snapback] I don't think it's inflammatory...that's the problem. I appreciate your advice though.

I don't care what you think.

Steve. Fuck off. You're a twat.

Then why do you do it?

It doesn't though, that's the thing. On this board I have never had someone slag me off because I'm not Geordie. I have never been told that I'm "not a real fan" because I wasn't born in Newcastle. This board has those that don't give a fuck where you are from, we're all here because of the football club and that's as far as it goes. You are seeing things that aren't there because YOU have a chip on YOUR shoulder. 36683[/snapback] In a recent post alex doctored something to read: "all southerners are wankers". He'll say it was a joke I'm sure, and I'm picking that example as it was recent, but there are more. If I object, then I'm told it's just the craic. If I say anything anti-northern, I'm told that I have a bad attitude. I can handle it, but don't pretend it ain't there.

Slag off the people up here? I don't slag them off. I'm describing my experiences up here. I've said before I've met some great people up here, but it's well known and obvious there's an anti-southern sentiment among a lot of people in this area. It even exists on this board. 36678[/snapback] You've got a chip on your shoulder if you ask me 36681[/snapback] Jesus wept tbh.
