Just about holding onto a reality that mainly includes NUFC, the Beatles, local history and a little bit of politics.

Tweaked my groin putting my trousers on the other day. Solidarity brother ✊

Absolutely. Not enough time to reflect and review. Not enough time to miss it. It's all a bit of a blur but we'll miss it next season when it's gone 😅

Half of me is convinced we're doing nowt, all is lost and everyone decent will want away in the summer. Other half says we're gonna win the champions league with just a little bit of luck and return to form. It's the hope....

There were gigs at the guildhall? Never knew that!

Love the pepper on top for a bit of taste and finesse 😂

A chameleon, that lad.

Im guessing you'll have seen Free Solo? Only film I've ever watched that made the palms of my hands sweat! Incredible.

A full four days to prepare for the mackems!

Love these - the waveforms are from one song rather than track by track?

Bruno's here for the rest of his career, surely? Maybe a sunset season or two back home? Gordon would sting but we'd get good money and Tino perceived as too much of a risk injury wise I'd guess.

Yes - been proven in Portugal and elsewhere.

It could I guess, aye. But labours messaging has hardly been smart, has it, and this seems to fit with the other shite they've been coming out with.

Legalise or decriminalise?
With respect mate I don't think we're going to agree on this and I'm not up for a debate with you.

I hope so, not sure it translates though. I live in Heaton (local cllr gone green) straw poll of neighbours would agree, but when I'm watching my bairn play football in walker the stuff I'm hearing from other parents is v worrying. And there's katie fuckin Hopkins selling out venues in Gateshead.

The stuff Polanski's reported them to the coppers for. Side of a van advertising yesterday - drugs for everyone and your daughters into prostitution with a green vote.

Am on the cusp of doing the same. Suspect Spencer's gone on similar journey. Should've been a labour candidate had they lot panderd so grotesquely to the racists. Reckon we're fucked up here come May, unfortunately.

Seeing the drugs and prostitution lines pedalled by labour is heartbreaking. Fucking hell I WANT to vote for them but they're not making it easy. I fear May will bring significant success for reform in NE.

How can 'progressive' ever be perceived as a bad thing?

From the titbits I'm seeing, seems like they're getting the finer details right for us Beatles ADHD nerds. Encouraging!

Probably a pipe dream, but if gate receipts don't make a huge difference to income, I'd love to see the young uns given a chance to attend with their pals, a few cans in, and making a racket. Hear what you say about the tourist side, but they're not going to help atmos while taking their selfies.

What if, say, 10k of that would be safe standing, more affordable on the day access for the younger, radgier, dafter and louder contingent?
Agree something needs to be done about atmosphere - something like this would help.

Went to a gig with a new relationship and she mentioned a few pals were going to. Clocked them all sitting down in front of the stage and that was that really.

Don't think the lad had a lot of choice - city had first option and activated it.

Hate the owner and would never visit any of his places by choice, but have to admit the shields road gaff is a glimmer of something vaguely positive in terms of building preservation and a place for people to meet.

Gave him a lift when he first came to Newcastle, 10 min chat. Bumped into him a year or so later when I was supporting an autistic lad who typically caused people to cross the street when they clocked him. Chris spoke to the kid for a good few minutes. Absolute class bloke and a proper leftie too.

You were on a roll, a beer or two in, and pushed it that little bit too far. We've all been there. In the same circs I'd have stuttered and spilled my pint down the front of my trousers.

And neither did she, I bet.
