thebrokendoll 7110 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 1 hour ago, Alex said: They’re so hung up on boundaries. Particularly ones which are 50 years or more out of date* Also have to love how a photo taken in Newcastle, showing the river the city sits by and the town on the other side of the river (part of the same urban conurbation) is the same as taking a photo of Sunderland and claiming it’s New York *Gateshead falling within the historical county of Durham. Meaning it belongs to Sunderland, despite being overwhelmingly black and white for as long as anyone can remember. same photo taken with a special mackem lens... 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 26992 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Is this the same Sunderland who put a bid in for the potential Euro games and showed pics of Newcastle in the bid? Or the same Sunderland where in their TV documentary, (which captivated the world and made safc everybody's global second team), they showed their (briefly) manager, Chris Coleman, (when he wasn't getting threatened by one of their fans), wax lyrical about how beautiful it was was up in Sunderland as the camera panned out showing Tynemouth priory and King Edwards bay? That same Sunderland? 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30471 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 The other thing is Newcastle and Gateshead actually have a joint initiative to market themselves and attract tourism, business etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That same Sunderland? The same documentary that filmed a mackem comedian taking the stage at that well known Sunderland venue, the Stand comedy club, the Bigg Market, Sunderland? I honestly couldn't give a shit about NE regional appropriation in any case, but to get upset about the Gateshead quayside is weird. It's literally on the banks of the Tyne linked to Newcastle by 7 bridges. On a wider note, the boundaries of Newcastle have always been a bit of an anomaly. South London, is still London, South of the Clyde in Galsgow is still Glasgow, I fully accept that the SoL is in Sunderland despite being on the Northern side of the Wear away from the "city" centre. Don't get me started on North Tyneside which has been arbitrarily disected off despite almost all of it being coniguous with the city. For a host of reasons, this has been problematic for the development of the city, as it has led to a lack of joined up planning. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 30471 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 By the way, it’s funny that they brag about having a beach (Seaburn) whereas Newcastle doesn’t. Yet they’ll have filmed that scene at Tynemouth as there’ll have been less chance of running into any mackems 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The name means: the city of him who loves his brother. So that’s why they call Phillie the city of brotherly love. I never knew that. Btw, I read a theory a little while back that the Oracle of Delphi was just some poor lass off her tits from inhaling volcanic gases. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been listening to the greek Myths and Heroes stuff by Stephen Fry. That stuff still fascinates me, same as the Norse pantheon. Probably why I like the Superhero stuff now, they're just modern Gods and Demigods. Back to the mackens, they're closer to Huddersfield in 22nd than they are Norwich in 6th. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
