I had my work experience in Jessops.

Back at school I told the careers officer that I wanted to get a job at Jessops developing people’s holiday snaps, but only holiday snaps, nothing else  

 

She sent a letter home advising my parents to start monitoring my special interests and I did work experience in a fish processing factory

I once collected ring-pulls from several cans of Cherry Coke and got a free disposable camera.

I once used a cherry coke shaped camera to take a picture with Peter Beardsley and Steve Austin at the Arena. Didnt work.

Going in the morning this is from August last year when i took a picture with my 360 camera after security. Never really thought about it but aye guess there will be a few more now that they're back prem should be interesting to see 

Just back from Tenerife. Surprisingly very little red and white on show in Newcastle airport and zero on the flight home. Was one or two with strong mackem accents who were a nightmare on the outbound flight. One had his passport temporarily confiscated by the cabin crew for him being too pissed while he argued he was only drinking coke to which the crew lass replied "do you think I'm stupid". It was such a sobering thought that  it made this 30+ adult worried enough to actually cry in front of a packed plane. He was a class above the one who actually pissed his shorts on the bus between the plane and the terminal building in Tenerife airport. Rather than be embarrassed or remorseful he aggressively said "You never seen anyone have a piss before?" Wish they'd fuck off and get their own airport.

Thought they would have tried to claim Derrum Teeys Valley by now, marra?

Really wanted to quote my post from October 2011 in response to this, but the thread was locked, so I'll just copy and paste below.

 

Quote

was on holiday recently, initially had a little giggle at the bloke in his mackem top and full tracksuit at the airport (fwiw he wore the exact same clothes on the flight home)...then this happened...

 

me and my lass went on a day long cruise around zakynthos on this big pirate ship looking thing. so we're sitting at the front of the ship minding our own business when 3 mackem blokes turn up, all in their 50's. incidentally i knew they were mackems because one of them had not only 3 tattoos on his legs of various simpsons characters wearing mackem tops but safc on his forearm and ftm on his other forearm (he later went on to take his top off and reveal 2 massive mackem badges on his chest and an additional ftm on his chest above them  )

 

anyway, they position themselves right at the front of the ship on the open deck and start generally pissing about, giggling, offering other passengers sweets in 'hilarious' fashion etc and basically looking like 3 lads on a school trip. they weren't doing any harm mind.

 

so we set sail and it's a little bit rough but lovely weather, so the lads all have their tops off and are sun-bathing and they crack open the beers. after literally one beer, and a beer the size of a coke can at that, one of them is lying face down on deck throwing up into a carrier bag, only it's not all going into the carrier bag and it's spilling onto the deck around him. there was a few waves, but this was a 150 ft boat at least and there's very small children asleep on deck, it's not that bad at all.

 

he proceeds to lie face down in his own vom for the next hour while his mates produce hard boiled eggs and sandwiches. after a while the lad carries his bag of sick to the back of the boat but makes ney effort to get anything cleaned up and just leaves it there.

Is the Sheepfolds the greatest entertainment venue the world has ever seen like they claim, boosting the Sunderland economy you’ll be lauded on RTG providing you didn’t lower the tone wearing a barcode top?

It’s basically the Stack, but in a permanent venue. It does look good to be honest. I do though think that a large amount of its popularity is that it’s purchases Sunderland’s first venue like this, outside of the Seaburn Stack. It’s also probably the closest thing to the SOL that caters to anyone younger than a Boomer.

It’s decent tbf, but don’t know how well it’ll do in long run as a bit of a trek apart from when something on at the ‘stadium’.  Most the units weren’t even open last time I was there, which admittedly was a weekday in half term but still seemed a bit short sighted.

They are building that new pedestrian bridge, but in all honesty it’s pretty much 6 and 2 3’s in terms of quickness if you go over the Town bridge instead.

 

The big test will come when all the building work on that side of the river starts. It’s going to be years of everything around it being demolished, and replacement buildings being built.

How many people will fancy being there? How many bands and acts are going to happy having all the background noise drowned out their voices? Also how many fans are going to be happy going into it after Sunderland have just been smashed and it’s pissing down with rain and the realities of being promoted hit them instead of them being happy grabbing last minute winners in the Championship?

 

Whilst all that work is going on, somewhere else in the city centre will open up and become more popular.

 

As it happens, I hope it’s a success. There will be plenty of independent businesses ran by people who have put everything into them needing it to be successful.

Sunderland needs them to be a success over dingy pubs serving watered down Carling with Wee Philly rolling out his latest Chubby Brown impression.

The guy I know who has a unit there said it was cheaper for bricks and mortar there than to just put his trailer on the stack seaburn site. I worked in Sunderland centre briefly a few years ago and it would be a bit far out to go on dinner etc. everyone in our office either went to Greggs or McDonald’s, or the bakers oven at a push until that slice opened, a total lack of options.
