Wraith’s next book will be “ The Mansour Brothers- Mecca’s Gangland Underbelly” They only chopped the hands off their own- nice blokes really, loved their mam. It’ll be his bestseller and may even reach double figures.8 points

I was once on the Nat King Cole and bumped into a couple of mates walking down the fossway after they'd signed on. Apparently Wor Jackies had some bottled lager on for 50p a bottle. It was a lovely summer's day and we all ended up going to wor Jackies but it turned out the 50p lager was 8% cider. The newly retired boxer John Davison was behind the bar learning the ropes so he told us and had a bit crack on with us. Later on as I staggered up Shields Road with my mates I climbed on top of a bus stop and was smiling and waving to the passengers on the top deck I maybe realised a little too late.......5 points

Apparently they wanted to announce it Monday but they’ve got a bit of admin to do. I suppose a takeover has never taken place in a global pandemic before. Especially by a pack of evil bastards.4 points

Ok, there's men on here plus Cath, (a lass), CT, ( a Fanny) and J69, (an actual 'guy'). Breaking: And Trophyshy who is evidently called Guy as opposed to J69 who acts like he is. FMOP3 points

quavers was about 2/3 of the way up shields road on the right hand side. I seem to recall it had a lot of pool/snooker tables so mebbees they're one and the same place? all very hazy those days, probably due to a cocktail of squidgy black, pink champagne speed and white lighning blotters!2 points

I've no idea mate. the only two pubs I ever went in to in byker during the 80s were the ford arms and quavers. quavers was probably only slightly less a den of iniquity than the ford. I once met a bloke in there whose occupation was hiring out luton bedford vans on stolen driving licences, stripping them down and selling its various components. very knowledgeable chap actually.2 points

can I just say that arguably the shadiest pub in the north east was probably the ford arms in byker. not once did I ever see anybody play pool on the pool table. its sole use was a stable base to place your scales on. happy days!2 points

It's just my opinion but this is why I was so adamant that Labour is fucked no matter who is in charge. It was always more than Corbyn, it's an honest to god culture war that is infecting all parts of our society. We are literally taking up the same sides of the battlefield over and over again on completely different issues because everyone has become politically involved - and in part that's because a certain section of society that was previously 'benignly uninformed' has been reached by the right through social media and various dishonest actors and transformed into 'dangerously misinformed'. I feel like our side always thought that if we could inform them, they'd see our point of view since it actually represents the interests of the vast majority of people. Somehow we didn't see shameless misinformation and lying actually working. The same people who voted for Brexit are the same people who think Trump is doing a good job and talking sense, who are the same people who think the lockdown is an attack on civil liberties, who are the same people who think that they have to support the Tories on the mistakes they're making because this is a political issue and their side is under fire. Starmer isn't going to penetrate that, Obama wouldn't be able to, Blair wouldn't be able to, it's fucked. The only way the situation improves is if some kind of doomsday event really pushes these people into the light, or if the left/centre stop bickering about everything and engage in the snidy, dishonest and slimy bullshit of the right. Because playing the game fairly is going to get us squarely nowhere. And if we ever do get back into power, we need to bring in laws that criminally prosecute well-poisoning serial liars in political positions. If we ever get that chance, we need to destroy the right's ability to behave like this ever again. It's too dangerous and it is only happening because no one ever thought they'd sink so low, and therefore the necessary safeguards weren't established.2 points

Part of the problem is that the press, on the basis of knowing absolutely nothing, have just come out with random dates and deadlines which are all missed, thus making people uncertain. It takes 2-4 weeks. Has 4 weeks gone by yet?2 points
