Not a film but Small Prophets on BBC, well worth a watch if you want a break from the doom and gloom. I put it on in the care home and everyone loved the old classic re-cycled Brazil nut joke. Mackenzie Crook is carrying on with great British writing/acting.

Well said. 7 English players started for Newcastle United last night in a Champions League game. An 18 year old local lad came on and nearly scored on his senior debut. "Sports washing", I do not know, just loving it. The Devil may take my soul.

It makes you laugh at times does it not in situations when a potential antagonist who may want to cause you harm is trying to compute as to what or who you are. It's easier for the blacks, they know they're fecked on sight. (back in the day of course)

... and everything they tried so hard to kill, we will re-build...

Tim Healy yes. There was a sketch with him as Dennis and Christopher Fairbank as Moxy doing the repairs on Tyne Bridge Brenda turned up with Nev's packed lunch and he appeared on video phone explaining why he wasn't at graft. Good stuff. No Jimmy Nail, my brother in-law went to his 1 man show recently but heard he's not in the best of health at present. Lewis Capaldi closed the show.

Sunday for Sammy, just a Newcastle thing but nice to celebrate local culture and performers who do it FOC.

I agree but they we not officiating at the highest level, it was only a FA Cup game that just happened to involve 2 EPL clubs and was shown live on BBC1 with millions watching. Could they have been so incompetent or was it a ploy to affirm the importance of VAR? I makes you think, but I believe it was really, really shit officiating from people who are not fit for purpose, and even if VAR had been in place, the same calibre of incompetent people would have been involved. Newcastle won, not bothered.

Appalling officiating, Jesus Christ, Villa's goal offside and a free kick given for a foul a yard inside the 18 yard box. I am not one for conspiracy theories but the FA must have tried to teach us all a lesson? Lesson not learned, a good free flowing game, all goals celebrated without the doubt of checks, and Newcastle won. Happy days!

Cool people, party animals," Anarchists", non-conformists, people who danced to their own drum and lived life to the full... who now find themselves in their 60's without a pot to piss in and expect others to help them out.

Local lads/English? Managers and "back room staff" are fecked. The are either given players in situations that they may have no choice, or scout their own and have to justify it. Transfer fees and wages must be justified or you are not doing your job, and are sacked. Giving an under 21 a start in an EPL game and you lose the game? Stick with him and you lose another game... not only the owners but often the supporters want the manager's blood. Stability within the club is the only way it can work. Have a competent manager, have owners who understand the game and trust the people that the

That's a shame but sure she was given the opportunity to live life to the full and had a quality of life that most dogs do not get. RIP Brenn.

Reminded of when I was briefly in the Cubs. An older cousin had moved up into the Scouts and he gave me his green jumper covered in merit badges. I ignored advice to remove the stitched on badges and turned up wearing it. The Akela took me to one side and explained why the merit badges must be removed. Fair enough but I didn't like his attitude. Turned up the following week still wearing the badges and that was the end of my time in Cubs.

Can't say I'm impressed with certain vocal sections of Newcastle "supporters" recently. The last 5 years have been living in dream land. Signing good players, existing players improving massively, qualifying for Champions League twice and giving a good account of ourselves both times (still in it this season), and the icing on the cake winning a cup. Fans, players, manager and owners in harmony. Now reality has kicked in in what was always going to be a long term project. Now we get some "supporters" throwing their toys out of the pram because we are on a bad run. Pathetic!
