Working on it, as said, proper (working class English) songwriter.

That's a real shame. Proper songwriter. Always looked for Stainsby Girl on juke boxes when away from home, even though he was a southerner. And educated Bob Mortimer in the art of having a good bath by cracking a raw egg into the water.

Loved The Viz, and Kylie really did get her tits out on page 21!

You would not make a very good politician Mr. Mackem. When existing laws are broken you do not look at why they were broken or how to better enforce the existing laws, you just make more laws for law abiding citizens to comply with and let nutters carry on with impunity.

Sure it was from Oxcroft blood, but everything was at the time. Same as every KC Bedlington was from Rillington or Gutch Common.

Only one way to define this, no matter religion or world politics, f**k religion and world politics, it is a crime against humanity.

If no one else comes up with anything I will be able to find the add when that dog was a public stud. 100% it will be in one of my "scrap books", but will take a while to find.

Turned 60 this week, a card received that made me smile.

some type of shot, work Christmas lunch yesterday and the younger lads were buying a round with every pint

I know that everything is getting smaller these days but this is ridiculous...

Often the same in construction, that and cocky green as grass kids with academic qualifications but no practical real world experience. Most get found out, when things go tits up, but just secure another position elsewhere and history repeats itself.

Give it time, will be interesting to see where it ends up -
When I 1st looked at this thought it might be a hare clapped on the slop.

The going home with a black eye thing is becoming something of a lost tradition LOL. It did tend be spats between lads who knew each other anyway. Worked together all year and little disagreements simmered into grudges, a few gallon of drink and then handbags. More comical than violent. Usually shaking hands afterwards and mates again when back to work in January. An important day in contracting though before social media and mobile phones. Everyone knew where to go every year in order to meet up and have a pint with lads who had moved on to other companies or retired. M&E was the Lab

Coincidentally did visit North Shields Quay today for work. Liked this that has recently been done. Disappointed to find out it wasn't done freehand and they used stencils but maybe that's how things are done for time/cost these days? Not saying it is not bespoke.

The original Black Eyed Friday, don't know if it is a Geordie thing or country wide, I always made it home for Christmas? The day when all of the sites close , not always but often a Friday, when almost every man working in construction goes to Newcastle city centre and drinks.

I did consider pm'ing mr. Mackem and ask if he could fly over and get me into the house but ended up calling a locksmith I know to get in. Had spare car key in the house. My mate has since let the world and his dog know about my "senior moment"

No views to share, just a sorry tale from work yesterday. Travelled from Gateshead to Scarborough for a site visit approx 5 hour round trip depending on traffic. Parked at Washington services and got picked up by a work colleague in the interests of saving the planet. Had a good day, site visit very productive and had the opportunity to catch up with an old friend and nice to have a break from driving. Got back to Washington services and luckily my friend went inside to get a sandwich rather than driving straight off. It was only then that I realised that the jacket I was wearing was not

Fascinating. Not too many beautiful women around these days. Where have you seen this?

Neighbours posting Christmas cards through my letter box despite the fact that in all the time I have lived in the street I have never once posted a Christmas card through any of their letter boxes... absolute c**ts!

Back to the thread... not appreciating what you had until it's gone.

Re North Shield fish quay, the period between it becoming redundant and derelict and then reborn, often took the dogs. For rats, not many to be honest and very difficult to bolt. But there was a canny population of feral cats at the time.

North Shields quayside yesterday

That's fine, it was directed to northerners not soft shandy drinking southern b*****ds, no offence intended.
