  1. Email just dropped πŸ˜‚ 2 from 5 now
  2. You, basically, rock up. Give the Matre D Β£30 then spend the next 120 minutes stuffing your face.
  3. Minteh play right back as well, like? πŸ˜‰
  4. Akenside does a canny one. Tbf I'm surprised it's an actual thing in the Toon, given how much we love our drink and scran. I could easily do it justice. What, in 2 hours? Easy 😜 Be a barra job but hey-ho, hic
  5. Need more of this, apparently πŸ˜‚
  6. Sure Scott Sloan joined the Fire Service. In Sweden iirc or Northumberland πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
  7. Retired Yep, unfortunately, you are correct. Higher incidence of cancers etc due to inhalation of carcinogenics. Obviously, back in the day, you had "Fireman" tucking their beards in and storming off into billowing smoke and flames whereas now they've got top of the range BA sets. Lots of plastics about now and vehicle fires are giving off pure death ☠️😳 Even with best practice, tho, there's always going to be exposure. Before I retired we were being told to wash our fire kit more often, for eg, after every job even. It's not just cancers tho. There's a high tenancy to have heart conditions too. I couldn't do them justice in one post but there's numerous studies about how fit a FF should be and how the stresses and strain on the heart can lead to illness. Basically, the energy/stresses demanded within the short time frame of receiving an alarm, travelling to then dealing with the initial incident are similar to a top athlete. Training for that, consistently, over 30/40 years is impossible.
  8. Had a bit X crack earlier referencing Steve Carney and Alan Shoulder. Obvs the Blyth' FA Cup run that got them signed to us and I remembered a Blyth link with another ex-player, Peter Cartwright. Turns out he played for Shields before the Toon then Blyth after. Also ended up a Maths teacher up the road from me at Astley High
  9. Subliminal message? New number 6 needed πŸ€”
  10. This with bells on Wankest thread on here, ever.
  11. Not having a pop at you lads but maybees having this extended league format, under the guise of "widening" the cohort, is designed to illicit this response. Eventually it'll be "but we need all the top teams in this competition (wether they qualified or not) i'ts what the fans want"

    This. I said it earlier. Just got MotM for the Under21s, playing at left back, 2 assists. Whilst the level and opponents matter the fact is he's developing. Howe's the best manager for him to have at this stage in his career. All being well we've got, potentially, England's full back pairing for this generation. I think they're that good.
  13. It'll be a crane you need for some of them
