Christmas Tree

Ended up down a Tik Tok rabbit hole today on good old Elmer Bernstein. What a bloke. The number of belter theme tunes he knocked up is quite staggering. Ended up listening to a few of them performed and it’s mind boggling how the orchestra is put together. Also made me a bit gutted that I’ve never seen a proper big orchestra in the flesh. Would love to a movie theme sort of night. (As long as I don’t have to dress up and wave union jacks) Anyway @Howmanheyman here’s 2 for you to watch with your tea. (But you knew I was going to say that, didn’t you) https://youtube.com/playlist?list=RDG-MVReDrRwo&playnext=1&si=ThX5k5cbiNehf55a https://youtube.com/playlist?list=RD85vYBoiLpuE&playnext=1&si=JHIUym-pb97jb3tE

Cheers, just splurted coffee

Also, from the website

Yes, email received at 9.52 today

It will be in some small print somewhere as its very commonly used. You have to opt out. And everyone I know who has a membership received an email in the last 2 weeks telling them it was happening.

Finally managing to use The Silver Spoon cookbook everyday with great results!

It’s going to be difficult to get an established striker to come in and warm the bench for long periods.

He’s made shit loads from his hobby and got to do some pretty cool stuff

Excuse Moi! If it had not been for my brilliant suggestion the other week, of using discord, you’d all be fucked!!! Its this type of modern thinking that could take this place to greatness!

Even just for 5 minutes so I can add it to my CV In all seriousness, I do have a lot of free time, so if there's a way to add me so I can duplicate the main layout of this place, I dont mind. Obvs I could not be trusted with peoples personal details so please don't make that mistake.

Be a good idea to set up the top 20 or so thread titles on there so we can use it properly. IE politics, transfers, NUFC chat etc

Might see if I can get a season ticket for Sunderland so I get a chance to watch us live next season.

My derby dream is back on

Have you not seen Free Willy, the fuckers can jump!

Excuse Moi! All ready to get off to Warkworth any day now. Just waiting for the Orcas to fuck off

Not to my knowledge as I would have advised against

Daughter No 3

When you know you’ve raised them well

Just be fucking sorry like the rest of us… Did you expect a phone call!

It was your Mam and that’s not what she got in her face

I’ll let this ride with you being new to football. But every Tyne Wear derby is nerve jangling. Derby’s can so often be a complete leveller regardless of who has the “better” team.

Never been so meh about Sunderland in my life. That said, I do really miss the derby games as they’ve previously been such a big part of my life as a Newcastle fan. As much as we have a few “rivalries” with other prem clubs, nothing compares to the build up and aftermath of a derby week, particularly having spent most of my life working in Sunderland. Naturally, I will find it quite amusing if they crash at Wembley, but the inner real football fan inside is hoping they get up and those two nerve jingling fixtures return.

Grim scenes in the garden today The rooks / crows who are nesting in one tree, paid a visit to the pigeons who are nesting 2 trees along. Lots of noise, feathers falling down and then Mrs pigeon came flying out. 20 seconds later the rook came out with one of the pigeons eggs in its beak. What absolute cunts. I half tempted to turn the hosepipe on them. This is not the garden for ruffians of any sort.
