Just thought I'd share. This is my little piece of England which I am very proud of. Around about March there was virtually nothing growing in this Garden and now it is like a little Jungle. The little blue chair under the patio heater is where I escape the world (you young'uns will understand when you've been married a while), enjoy the odd sherbert and annoy every fucker with you tube. Currently enjoying a lovely little dark German wheat beer and the Kebab (I know) is on order. Happy Days.

Twitter ITK Time..... @cwarr07
-
About time we had another through the doors. After the manic excitement of a few weeks ago its all gone quiet. Even the ITK's seem to have given up. However Mike Ashley has apparently flown in today so something may be close. Even Mark Douglas thinks we might have another signing in before Monday. Like the next one to be a biggy.

Wonder what will happen with Vuckik next season. Surely needs a good loan to bring him on if he isnt going to be around the first team squad.

Spent the last few days getting all excited about the possibility of a camping trip with the whole family and possible friends as well. Being looking on ebay for second hand tents and all sorts. Couldnt remember if we'd discussed camping on here so searched for a thread. Now feeling depressed.

That used to happen every week 93-96 haha them were the days, not always a lass mind. Against Swindon (a game that indirectly saw Sunderland promoted 2 years later for those who know your history) one of Gazza's best games for the toon, after his best goal, its on Jonny's vids on youtube, you see a little body jumping up beside the steward in the Gallowgate, with a black and yellow toon/Brazil hat, that was me. The first game they pulled the fences down after Hillsborough was a home game against Luton in our relegation season, pishy 0-0 draw, I was right at the front of the corner and caught the ball, dropped it and got shouted at from the crowd for taking too long to get it (shows how empty it was). Caught the ball again against Derby was in the Benches and bought the official club video just to see myself, but it wasn't close up. Was ball boy against Oxford a 4-3 win, and I got the last "North East Co-op" tracksuits you had to wear, and there was a big hole on one of the arse cheeks, and I only had red and white boxer shorts on, got so much abuse from the Gallowgate. When I won me holiday on the telly, I mentioned Newcastle United three times, one of them mentioning we'd just beaten Man Utd 3-0 which went down well. Been on telly talking about the toon a few times, and radio fucking loads of times had an epic row with Adrian Durham in which I achieved the impossible, and at the end he said "well perhaps I need to reconsider my view", and in the papers, most recently regarding the Arsenal game last season. Havent heard those stories before..... Get them told. Feels like am bragging though and it's nowt to brag about. Me and four of me friends went on a show called "Friends Like These" or CLT as we childishly called it. Was 2000, so we were just bairns really 20 to 23. Was five lads against five lasses, you do a task against a lass, mine was like Simon Says, I pissed it. Anyway we won 3-2, so then we had to answer 5 questions about each other to win the holiday, we only got 4 right so, the one we got the q wrong about had to stay or we had to gamble the holiday to get the other kidda there. Anyway the question was what year did Mark see the Manic Street Preachers at the City Haal, we all knew it was 96 cos it was the neet before we lost to Man Utd, so we got it right and gave it the old Bob Stokoe celebrations round the studio, and we won a 2 week holiday in Thailand, was fuckin excellent. Been on Sky years ago slagging FFS stood beside Kevin Miles after he said geordie women were dogs, was on Look North years agan after the Sunderland play off, was just a bairn, said a was never going back, and the row with Adrian Durham, the program question was Man City are bigger than Newcastle, discuss.... he said Man City were a bigger club than Newcastle because they had more trophies. So I went on and said he was the most clueless person in sports journalism today, no idea how I didn't get cut off, and told him to do more research because we had 5 more trophies than them mugs, WERE richer, more famous, more successful and had far more fans. Mick Quinn even called him a mug, and that's when he did the backtracking. Excellent stuff I vaguely remember that show. Surely you have the video somewhere for our amusement. Found this one but havent watched it. Are you on this one? -

How did Newcastle do the week you were born
Christmas Tree replied to Christmas Tree 's topic in Newcastle Forum
I didnt too bad either..... Son born on the 23rd October last year as we beat West Ham 2-1 followed by the 5-1 demolition as we were out wetting his head and rounded off nicely with a 1-0 victory at Arsenal. Not a bad fortnight. -

Christmas Tree replied to Christmas Tree 's topic in General Chat
Got to agree. Some of the chat on the football forum is mind numbing. The usual suspects having the same argument in every single thread doesn't help matters. Might be time for a second breakaway forum. Doesn't this always happen inbetween seasons though? Suppose CT has been around the whole time the twat. Imagine if the forum had been around in the 30's 40's when there was no league fixtures for about 6 years!!!!! -

Christmas Tree replied to Christmas Tree 's topic in Newcastle Forum
Well your date of birth is 13/12/32 and the closest results are as follows. 10.12.1932 Blackburn Rovers away L1-2 17.12.1932 Derby County home D0-0 We finished 5th that season and Sunderland finished 3rd. We beat them away and they beat us at home. -
A better cashier would have remarked, aye, thats the one she usually gets. She was too busy smiling at me as we eyed each other up. The assistant in Sainsburys, East Boldon asked me for ID last night when I bought a four pack. Totally threw me until she started laughing......Bitch.

I once caught the ball during a derby. I really do have a shit memory but I was somewhere in the Milburn paddock many moons ago and I think it was an evening game. It was pissing down and there was puddles all over the pitch. Anyway, one of our defenders cam out a made a crunching tackle and the ball flew up towards me and I caught it. Of course my memory has me leaping like a salmon to catch it but I think it was probably just a bog standard catch. Dont think Ive ever come close to catching one since.

Might be time for a second breakaway forum. But if you are going to break away from the usual suspects, wont your new forum, without the usual suspects, be pretty quiet? No Leazes, No Happy Face, No Chez, No NJS, No Deano etc etc? I just never understand why people bitch about the state of the forum but do nothing about improving it. Whatever sparkling threads you are going to start on a breakaway forum, surely you could start them here? Having just whizzed over the last 10 pages of football chat, thats 400 threads, I didnt see any, not one, started by you. Now dont get me wrong, this is not me having a pop at you, but if people want a more interesting forum, then surely they should put more in themselves. Just my bug bear every time I see this come up. -
You know the drill...... Born 30.11.1965 Nearest game was on the 27th November where we lost 3-2 away to Sheffield United 3-2 Hope you have better luck. http://www.statto.com/football/teams/newca...10-2011/results

Film/moving picture show you most recently watched
Christmas Tree replied to Jimbo's topic in General Chat
The Lincoln Lawyer --- Courtroom drama with Matthew McConaughey http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1189340/ Gets a 7.4 and some high praise from IMDB. I would give it a 5.4 and say it passes an hour or two. -
