My mam and dad were on holiday in Minorca one year when my mam woke up and couldn't open one of her eyes at all. It was glued shut. She tried running it under warm and hot water but nowt would get it open. They were shitting it at this point so rushed out for medical treatment. Bascially, some type of insect had landed on her eye in the middle of the night and layed eggs inside it..

Ennis is UNBELIVABLE like. Pendelton as well. She was at university same time as me, opportunity lost there like. Yeah, right.. Now, I wasn't having a dig at Becky Adlington, I'm just saying that the BBC treated her like a no-hoper who had turned up and done really well..not a 2 time defending champion who had lost both titles..it was kind of sweeped under the carpet rather than discussed. Just saying like..

Big example was Becky Adlington. Let's be honest, she was unable to defend both her Olympic titles and finished well behind in 3rd in both. Usually 5Live would (and should) be asking questions and being constructive about what went wrong. Instead, it's a brilliant result apparently. Almost like they were too scared to be even the tiniest bit critical of anyone British. I'm not saying rip the poor lass apart and witch hunt her, but it just seemed very head in the sand and kind of summed their whole Olympic coverage up to be honest. Not objective.

Really glad the Games themselves did the talking, was not a fan of some of the hype beforehand and thought the torch relay was a load of corporate shite to sell tickets to be honest..just my opinion of course. Point is, after all that bollocks, the sport and the events did all the talking. Totally in love with Handball as a sport now like, cracking stuff. One last word on the Beeb. I though the tele coverage was superb, the fact that you could choose sports and channels to watch whole events from start to finish was excellent, meant I didn't have to sit through fucking Equestrian or Dressage (fuck me, seriously). Lots of options. Having said that, only negative for me has been the 5Live coverage. I listen to 5Live a lot, but I thought they were far too 'team positive.' It was just too much for me like, they stopped being objective to be honest and got lost in the patriotism of it all.

I just want the actual competition to start now because the ridiculous ott hype is starting to get on my tits a bit.

Depends what they've done I suppose. Durham probably? Maybe Acklington?

My brother works with a lass who used to be the speccy best mate of Spuggie in Byker Grove. I don't think she likes to talk about it.

Blaydon..them were the days. Whatever happend to him? I take it once they'd sorted out the WC qualfications he actually had no purpose anymore and simply switched himself off.

Looking back, I can't believe how I got away with being on here for so much of the working day.

Well..I thought it was superb!

Like or loath his politics, he's one of these people who is naturally excellent at public speaking and public debate.

I've never seen nowt like it in my life like. And I'm canny old. My work is right on the river..and I mean right on the river. I've pinged into the server and it's alive..or floating down the tyne still connected to the back up battery.

Aye, the 4-1 stuffing. Missed at the Leazes end.

Lee Wallace and some kid who was on loan at Partick Thistle last season playing a game of head tennis at this rate. Anyone been on the Rangers website? Some fantastic propaganda on there like, wheeling out Rangers legend Sandy Jardine to slag off big style any player who's decided to leave and giving ott backslaps to the..er..2 who've decided to stay. As an aside, they're going to have to update their history page..

Loved Mick Quinn. First Number 9 hero, and you never forget your first. Still convinced I made him miss that penalty V Wolves though. Keep meaning to tweet him to apologise. In fact..

It always seems that as he's evolved over the seasons he's come here he's spent more and more time whinging, whining, chasing refs and giving up on trying to win a ball back when he thinks he's been unfairly treated (ie not got the free kick he's adament he's entitled too). I remember the young kid at Everton who tore us a new arsehole in the cup up here and was unplayable. What the fuck happened to him? When he gives the ball away nowadays it's head down and couldn't give a fuck..at least that's what it looks like. Going through the Billy Big Bollocks stage I think, I think you'll have another few years of him looking like he couldn't give a shite then suddenly at 30 he'll grow up and have a great tournament. Maybe. I've also notoved the New Saviour of England (Copyright The London Press) Jack Wiltshire is become just as much a whinging little prick as well.

He's like one of those teachers you had that was a right bastard and there was no way of bulshitting. 'So, you were clearly just told today. Was it before lunch or after lunch?'

Just to add, 'Fuck off Norway' is still my favourite Gazza moment ever.

Just when you think you've seen or heard all the class Gazza moments you find another one. I saw a bit of the interview he did on Wogan just after Italia 90 where Wogan asks him how he felt about the tabloids splashing his various lady conquests on their front pages. 'I'm not a puff' replies Gazza

I'm just happy we haven't got the crest in the middle with the logo on the right, as that just looked wrong and really shit.

I know he was acquitted of the charges against him earlier in the year but that court case made him look dodgy as fuck.

Since I left the local authority I've actually had work to do for the last 6 years.

It's a win-win for me like. Odious cunt Redknapp has the embarrassment of being sacked, odious club Tottenham are going to die on their arse. Excellent.

Hoy, I've haven't worked for those knackers for 6 years now! Work for a charidee now man..although I don't like to talk about it.

Nah..check out the bbc torch relay page for street by street. It's coming down nearer the river and through Wallsend high street. Right past our work which is why we're fucking off early.
