My spelling is terrible, especially online - hardly a way to measure one's intelligence! And I didn't mean every one in A, just a small collection of individuals who genuinely thought they were better than everyone, due to the lack of geordie / north east accent ect. There were some decent people in the A class when I was there.

Aye, I was between A-D also and got on with most of the Posh kids (apart from the real elitist Kids in A), as well as some of the "radgies", and never got bullied, but there were some horrible fuckers in that school like! Alot of people I know who went to places like Walbottle always made out that it was a school for posh cunts- they never realised how many toe rags went there too!

Ben Anderson, aye remember him like, he was head of lower sixth when I was there, never had too much to do with him though tbh. Heard that about Dix like, but always though it was just the usual Bull shit. The was another art teacher who I couldnt stand, cant remember his name though looked like kenny everit or Gerry adams- Well he had a beard. You know, I sort of look back with fond memories of St Cuthberts, but If I take the rose tinted specs off deep down I know I fucking hated most of it until sixth form.

Aye Paddy McPaul was there when I was, used to see him round Chapel House a few years back too. I got on really well with him but some of my mates didnt like. Spraggon was another good lad like! Did you ever get an Art teacher called Mrs Dicks/ Dix? She was another one could be a total twat! Johnson told us stories about the boarding school he was at as a kid, was run by Nazi's in hiding. He also used to tell us about when him and his mates used to smoke Hallucinogenic leaves - He was deadly serious too, legend

Peffer! I remember him like ,well spoken chap who took Coral and Rugby? - I remember Whelan the RE teacher, and Mrs Thompson the Jock, they could both shout a fair bit. I remember a canny physics teacher called Phillips who was a quality bloke but yet again, could flare up if you messed with him. One of the best teachers I had there was Mr Johnson the RE teacher, used to tell some great stories too. Im 27 now Stevie so you probably know roughly the same teachers I knew.

Was Lord really in a firm? Christ, didnt see that coming! Thought he was ok but if you fucked with him he could turn! Stapleton was another one who could reduce even the hardest kid to tears! Agree about ruanne like wasn't a massive fan! Was it Mirs Mitchell the German teacher you were on about? Always got on well with the likes of Mick Fleck, Stan Eardley, Pete Baron, and also Monaghan was canny but if you fucked with him, you knew about it! Used to work with Peter Ewart, canny bloke but could talk the hind legs of a donkey

Stevie you didn't by any chance go to St Cuthberts did you? I had a CDT teacher by the name of Duffy, and was a total cunt like, gave me a shove a few times! He used to tell vertically challenged kids to be careful not drown in puddles, and that he would stick them in a Jam Jar! Pure Evil! Also had a physics teacher by the name of Talbot, who wasn't frightened to grab a hold you of like!

Small world Mate! No doubt I've probably seen you out and about in one if the dubious watering holes around the outer west of Newcastle

Oh and by the way Stevie - Lemington at the Minute, but parents live in Lemington Rise, what about you?

I've heard a few lads mention that pubs over that way are better crack like. Never had a drink over there though. On the subject of shite pubs west of Newcastle, has any body ever had a pint at the 'Cent' in Throckley, that looks like an absolute slum of a pub! There seems to be a mentality in places like the Periguine/Pike/Boathouse where some people, even old men, just want to kick the shit out of somebody... Sad imo

Heh, its a difficult one to call. As some Fridays you can go in, have a couple of games of pool, a laugh with your mates and its quite chilled out. The next Friday there will be a riot Still pretty central to me and my mates so we've stuck with it. You're right about the clubs in lemington, alot of dross but for a cheap pint there ok.. As long as you don't get too close to the natives. Sampled the delights of the Hillheads recently after my mate waxed lyrical about it, fuck me it rough! The Vallum is shit too, only as its empty and expensive. As I say, same-ish price, if not cheaper to drink in the town rather than estate pubs.

Cannot beat the Turnpike for a quiet Pint! Somtimes slum it in Clubs such as the Blutcher or Lemington middle if its a hard month. To be honest though estate pubs are usually overpriced, quiet or full of dickheads. Its usually cheaper and better to jump in a taxi, once there is a few of you it works out cheaper than the bus!

Jesus Stood!

Hmmm I'm not sure like, when I stand it doesn't automatically mean I clench the ring therefore pulling the cheeks together. I'd also say that when you're sitting having a shit your cheeks arent really pulled apart that much. Putting your hand into a toilet to wipe, without much room to maneuver, with the potential to leave winnits on your arse is filthy to be honest. I bet if you checked, most of the people who died of the plague were sitters!

In a situation where your loose, and the toilet is splattered Standing up wins Hands down! Imagine sitting down, trying to fit your hand in a gap between the seat and your arse, it would be covered in rusty arse water in no time. No thanks sit downers that not for me!

So how do the sit downers do it? Lean forward so you can reach your arse? Or the front way getting your hand past your bollocks? Is the sit down method really practiced or is this one big joke?

How the fuck do you sit down and Wipe? Truly the mark of someone doesn't mind skidders in their boxers!

ghost dog is another quality film, i particularly enjoy the parts when hes speaking with the french ice cream van man!

Had a bit of a John Carpenter marathon recently, forgot how many decent films he made. Big Trouble in Little China Prince of darkness They Live The thing The Fog All slightly cheesy in one way or another but imho are cult classics. Also watched PI again recently, good film I reckon! Although the only other Aronofsky film I've seen was Requiem for a Dream which was pretty meh despite all the hype surrounding it.

Yeah its a bugger like, cant grumble though if thats the rules, Manc i shall bear that info in mind.

Thanks for the replies lads, if only Woodgate had have scored 5 minutes earlier...

I wouldn't say im thick, just never ever placed a bet before, was just a halmless bit of fun though, wasnt like my house was riding on the result

In theory the fact I had "spurs to win" and the fact they won should mean technically I am right imho, I suppose you learn the hard way

bugger, I just had "spurs to win"

Alright, Lurked on here for a few years but thought I'd log in for a change for a spot of advice.. I put my first ever bet on today, tenner on spurs to Win (litterally wrote "Spurs to win" on the ticket). Do football bets only take into account the first 90 minutes or the full time plus extra time? Sorry about the post if this is blatently obvious Cheers
