  1. I always think sarcasm is hard to acheive in the written/printed form, but fair play to you Andy, you fuckin nail it every time
  2. You must have seen the dude running on the blades?...hes ran against able bodied atheletes too...got beat and whinged like a bairn off the British lad (Johnny Peacock?) at last summers paralympics..
  3. "too many guns in SA..blah blah blah..."
  4. http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/video_audio/193036.html?genre=1;sport=3 Hmmmm......
  5. NEWCASTLE: Pardew ready to attack Europa League with new-look Newcastle 8:00am Thursday 14th February 2013 in Sport By Scott Wilson ALAN Pardew has pledged to attack the Europa League by naming his “strongest cup team as Newcastle manager” for this evening's last-32 tie with Metalist Kharkiv. http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/10225797._/
  6. Yeah I've been to the one in London but it was relatively "big" names I saw there...think I know what you mean would the style be best described as verging on "tv friendly"? Will try to read Vegas later...
  7. Will probably do this tomorrow night, is the Jongleurs name a sign that the acts may be half decent?...got to say am not too familiar with the names and their online biogs obviously make them sound like a cross between Noel Coward and Frankie Boyle... http://lighthousepoo...urs-comedy-live
  8. Wellbeck makes Ramos look a mug from a well flighted corner 0-1...
  9. I'm on the present Mrs PLs sky go...shes watching Hawaii 5-0
  10. Another problem for the lad...been nicked...fucker thinks he's Stirling Moss... http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/cheick-tiote-newcastle-united-star-1707464
  11. WTF? http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20130213/sunderland-and-liverpool-on-tv_2281670_3074797 The club obviously think we've no fuckin chance of getting anywhere in Europe, but think Liverpool are a cracking bet for the semi's...
  12. Not sure if Celtic had any choice in their tactics tonight tbh, great spirit for more than an hour...sad to say though you could've written this script when the balls came out the bag.
  13. Celtic will have to be careful...they've went at it 100 miles an hour, reckon Juve could be just biding their time till they tire then pick them off.....
  14. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-21421810
  15. Got to say am seriously looking at it..got 2 properties to sell,the missus has one, the one I have in Poole was bought 13 years ago....no kids either. Very,very fortunate. Am off to Kharkiv next week too Work could be tricky, but theres one or two options. In a way we're both waiting to get the flick from where we work now..
  16. I've got a plan too....would love to move to Alnmouth, or possibly Alnwick itself. Alnmouth sits right on the trainline like Berwick, but is almost a well kept scret as far as living there is concerned. Warkworth comes a very close second, especially as the Red Lion(?) has a dodgy satellite box and is known to show NUFC games...lots of Mags in Northumberland
  17. Agreed. Foulden, Paxton etc all lie in Scotland but are no more than 3 or 4 miles away.East Ord is lovely, but in England. My folks love Berwick but wont be moving back over the border in their 70's for current and obvious reasons.
  18. Know it well from my childhood....depends what you are used to...if your bag is a truly historic market town that, same as most places, has seen better days then you'd fit in well, especially if you appreciate to one extent or another that the locals consider themselves to be a bit of a "nation without a flag"; To me its a bit tatty round the edges in town,and has lost a bit of its charm, the famous "Berwick Cockle" shop has closed, which is a bit like Newcastle losing Fenwicks; the defining retailers of the borough, even though it was only a sweet shop, but as I say, that was part of it's charm. The Bear Hotel looks a bit tatty too. The docks aren't as big a concern as they were, the shipyard where my old man worked is long gone, ditto fishing. Housing as you say is cheap, but thats in line with wages. The whole Borders area is a bit of a backwater tbh, if you go clubbing a couple of times a month you'd be disappointed with the er "local scene". Theres a theatre at the Maltings, the odd comic calls in now and then and the usual local folk clubs etc. A cleanish beach at Spittal, one further down at Scremerston too, that ones a bit more "windswept and interesting". Not for the faint hearted even in Summer though. But the whole place has something about it; my parents would move their tomorrow if they could. The river, the walls....I'd get the train up and look around if I were you.
  19. He'll maybe play both games v Kharkiv; one with Taylor and one with Colo?....
  20. Isnt Ken in Oz?...middle of the night posting=pissed as a fart. Unless he's on nightshift. Nightshift=fuckin idiot.
  21. When this news popped up on my screen yesterday lunchtime for some reason I burst out laughing and said something along the lines of, to no one in particular "well there you go, I thought Paul Lambert at Villa was favourite to walk acording to the bookies".....which struck the senior admin girl sat 10 feet away as a distinctly odd thing to say..."What you laughing at?"...she said, "The Pope has resigned, probably for something very bad indeed" I replied; at which point the her two collegues, an Irish girl and another young lady from Poland shot me looks that would kill a battallion of SAS...theyre still not speaking to me.....some people, I dunno...:
  22. Roberto Carlos was faster, but its fair to say not with the ball at his feet. Roberto Carlos could break 11 seconds for 100m.
