Think you'd like it. Gonna take a look, sounds interesting. Last great sports book I read was "Senna vs Prost", anyone who's a fan of one should read this book.

I was watching live, but on tv I was a 4y old, I remember the accident but only got what really happened the next day when I came home from school and his funeral was on tv, hit me like a truck. Cryed for days, I had a collection of every f1 car he ever drove made of wood at the time, for years I coudn't hear the "victory theme" the tv plays when a brazilian wins a race whithout crying, even today it brings me back. My first and biggest idol, to this day. Read all his biographies, I also have a hardcover book that even has copies of his school grade sheets. amazing stuff. That Senna vs Prost book is one of the best I ever read, highly recommend it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not as bad as Wheatley Hill or god forbid.... Shotton Colliery. That place makes the ridges look like Beverly Hills. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, perhaps I'm a wee bit strong in my comparison - I am from Ashington, after all! I think it's the expanse of the county where there's miles and miles of fields and hills and then all of a sudden a town/village that maybe doesn't quite fit the scenery. Again, I'm from south east Northumberland so we're all acutely aware of why our particular towns have maybe seen better days. I just like poking fun at our southern cousins, we're all cut from the same cloth and I wouldn't have it any other way. You can keep Sunderland though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can keep Sunderland though I was born in North Shields and grew up in Monkseaton/Whitley Bay. The bloke who ran the Newsagents where I did my paper round was from Ashington.

I'm sure he had one back in Ashington on Woodhorn Road and my Grandad always said he had more. See, culture like this is why Bruno has signed.

I'm racking my brains but cannot remember his name but I'm sure it wasn't Cecil. He had curly hair iirc. Can still remember my confusion one time when he asked me if I was "working tomorrow?" I was thinking why's he asking me if I'm walking for? He knaas I always ride me bike! He was a canny bloke though. He chipped me PS1 and sold us games for the price of a blank cd.

Shotton Colliery doesnt look too bad on googlemaps - in fact it appears to have a disproportionate number of bungalows. Never been there like but the ridges/meadowell is no where near as bad as it used to be but still looks rougher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only runs for 3 years, though. Gonna play some Neil Young while wearing my Iniesta shirt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
