Aye they’re football writers, we’ve learned down the years that the majority of them can’t even write about football properly let alone geopolitics. Historically only Caulkin & Winter were the only ones worth reading.

(to your previous post, not Nazi Ukrainians) Yeh I think so too, unfortunately it’s going to leave Russia and a lot of very innocent Russians in a situation closer to North Korea than the McDonald’s & Netflix they’ve been used to. Surely even Russia can see how futile this war is, unless Putin is surrounded by yes men, like Hitler was. The fear of the dictator breeds disfunction & disinformation. Like when Stalin collapsed in a puddle of his own piss his own closest allies were to scared to help him for a couple of days.

Surely Boro fans will chase them out?

Yeh the latency on the older digital stuff was atrocious. Absolutely pointless & it sounded shite too. Tbh I haven’t played anything digital in about 10 years.

I honestly have the best neighbours a musician can have. I’ve lived in this house 11 years now I think and they’ve been great with me & my music. So if I can disturb their new tenant less and buy myself some critically acclaimed weird headphone amp what’s not to like?

Hi Everyone - Thank you to all the patrons who keep this place ticking, as a board we've nearly been running for twenty years & the temporary loss of the forum left a lot of us absolutely lost as to where to go to talk about Newcastle United. Twitter is toxic & given how tightly knit our community is other forums aren't really an acceptable replacement. When our Patreon fund was launched the response was amazing, we had enough funding to pay for the forum & associated costs. However we were left with a surplus. It was decided at the time that the forum would be run not for profit & at cost price. It was agreed among admins/moderators & patrons that the appropriate use of the surplus funds would be an annual donation to a local charity, chosen by the patrons. However things don't always go to plan & the world is a cruel place. In the past few weeks our gaze has been drawn away from Tyneside. Everyone is aware of the recent & continuing atrocities committed by the Russian Federation in Ukraine & given the acquisition of Newcastle United by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia the atrocities carried out by our majority owners in Yemen have been cast into the public eye. I have to admit, hitherto, I had very little to zero knowledge of KSA's military action in Yemen. As Saudi Arabia are allies of Great Britain this war doesn't make our news feed. I won't pretend to understand the geopolitical nuances of the situation, I'm a guitar player who likes to drink cans and watch Newcastle play, even if we're shite. However, given the desperation of the situation in Ukraine & our association with Saudi Arabia the decision has been taken to withdraw the surplus Patreon Cash & donate it 50/50 to the following organisations : RED CROSS YEMEN APPEAL RED CROSS UKRAINE APPEAL There will be a £75 donation to each organisation which will make a huge difference. Given that our patreon has only been running two months or so I'm sure we can all be proud of where the surplus funds will be going. When the world is a little more normal we'd ideally like to see surplus funds go to a local charity such as the West End Food Bank. In the meantime, thank you for your continued support & I hope you are satisfied with this use of funds. Regards, Tom (+ fellow admins & mods)

Aye. Well the main reason was that my next door neighbours daughter has moved back in with a young kid, she’s ended up splitting with her bloke just a couple of months after being married. The last thing they want to hear is my Hendrix impression at half nine at night. Plus I think it’s a cool purchase anyway. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ve just pulled the trigger on the wazas

I like him aye

Yeh I think the difference in my Orange was as I said, the tubes were a decade old

Can’t believe they got rid of NINE bar

Boro’s response was immense

“hya man tha mags are ganna be fewmin when Bojo sanctions them marra”

Sunderland’s great hope is living out of a caravan on the south coast of england. 😬

It just makes me laugh that it’s coming out now after 2 year of painting NUFC as absolute scum.

Whey

Scouse mackems

Tbh I don’t know what makes a good valve. When I had my Orange Rocker 30 serviced the bloke put Russian Electro-Harmonix in and it sounded absolutely mind blowingly good. In retrospect that may have been because the valves hadn’t been changed for a decade and I only got the service when the bugger wouldn’t turn on

Im really looking forward to when the morally superior lot down the road chase Kyle Dreyfus from the club because of his Russian/Middle eastern money. Any minute now….

Fucking hell
