The “spreader” position, as made famous by your mam

xGone

I will echo this sentiment. Don’t be afraid to do this as a kind of personal blog. You’re going to have hard times ahead and things will get better but when times are tough let us know. Telling a bunch of (mostly) strangers on here won’t make all the difference but typing it out might even help.

I remember watching When The Wind Blows by him, and becoming more traumatised as it went on. Not as traumatic as pictures of Denise Squrlch, but close. Anyway, here’s Lynda getting bummed by a gorilla.

Barca are white collar gangsters and no amount of PR bullshit “mes que un club” will change that. More than a club? Yeah, they’re like fuckin Tony Sopranos crew

Eye wateringly inane piss bollocks click bait for the sexually inadequate. You’re fuckin welcome

Well I don't know about you, but I totally believe that happened exactly as described.

When The Wind Blows is fucking bleak like an elderly couple survive a catastrophic nuclear attack before gradually succumbing to the effects of radiation sickness. Nightie, night, kids

I am genuinely a little bit thrilled by this

The days of English stats cloggers are gone.

I hope you can update us often. This is a completely safe space and you will always get my, and Im sure everyone elses, unswerving non judgemental support You are amongst friends here.

I am genuinely overwhelmed by the support you guys have given me, it has helped so much. Actually I'm not brave admitting my problem, in the end I ran out of space. If I hadn't called 999 when I did I'd be dead, I am sure of it. My potassium levels were so low after days of vomiting my heart would have stopped. At my mum's but plan to go back home tomorrow now and at least talk to my wife and maybe see the kids. Really hope I can sleep tonight, in hospital I was woken every 2 hours for another drip or BP measurement. People will say the hard part starts now, which is true, to an extent. But all things are easier if you are physically well enough to handle them. Nothing seems possible when you're not. I'll keep you guys informed but at a much reduced rate from now on. And if anyone wants advice on detox, or extreme Ibinge drinking, I'm your man. Now, I'm ready to catch up with the rest of the forum!

This is going to be a spunkfest for the xG gang, isn't it?

Exact same as the modern-day Republican Party. We have nuts - fucking literal raving loonies - going up on convention stages and spouting the most fucking ludicrous bullshit ever heard, and getting wild applause. People who believe everyone dead is alive, and everyone alive is a clone of someone already executed for treason at Gitmo. People who follow a crack addict pillow shill, a disbarred, disgraced ex-mayor, and of course, a reality show con man/wannabe strongman. These aren't conservatives. They're not Republicans. They're insane cultists, high on ranch dressing and treason.

Gorillas have the smallest penis in relation to body size of all the Apes, so he’ll at least be authentic

I hope they’ve paid all their subbies, otherwise there’ll be a good few of them going down with them.

I went to Laing Art Gallery, probably about 15 years. There was an exhibition from the Tate which had some famous paintings. However by chance there was another exhibition of children’s book illustration with original work by the likes of Briggs and Quentin Blake (who did the Roald Dahl books). It was better than the Tate exhibition tbh. I read loads of his stuff when I was little. Even then I appreciated the bleak side of his work. I think his dad was a postie which inspired his Father Christmas character.

She's also got an invisible plane because comics.

Aye, who can forget those …bracelets

Aye Sally James on Tiswas 😎

FYP 😉

They talk a bit about the De Jong situation from about 22:40 here. Barcelona have sent the player a letter suggesting that there was criminality involved in the signing of his last contract and that that contract should be annulled and he should return to the terms of the original contract he signed when he joined from Ajax. The Dutch Players Union has suggested there is evidence of extortion in the way Barcelona are dealing with their players. It's high time UEFA stepped in and did something about a) their continued spending in the face of massive financial problems, and b) their treatment of their existing players. Obviously that won't happen but it sounds like they're behaving appallingly.

Waldorf and Stadler with the wistful wanks itt.

Aa went to Blaydon Races, 'twas on the ninth of June Eighteen hundred an' sixty-two, on a summer's efternoon; Aa muh nuh nu Balmbra's, na na na LADEN!, Diddly Pom de da da dah, that's on the road to Blaydon. OH ME LADS…

https://www.theguardian.com/football/who-scored-blog/2022/aug/10/newcastle-europe-joelinton-bruno-guimaraes-midfield-eddie-howe A couple of days ago I was reading one of those articles about Manchester that comes up every now and again - how shit they are, what the flavour of their crisis is now. And I was annoyed by it. After all these years, we still have to talk about that empty shell of a club on its perpetual downward journey. When, I thought, will they write about my club just for the hell of it? And here we are. Not even written by Louise Taylor. Comments open too, so you can see the sheer, unadulterated fume by the mentally feeble. We're starting to get somewhere.

I think we'll batty them.

I am going to this. We are going to smash their back doors right in.

In before Gemmill

CT realising that, at 3cm, a gorilla’s lob on beats him by 2cm

Clough on the money as per usual.

The names on the whiteboard

At least the organised blackouts will mean we can't read the news. Every cloud

My Grandad had memorised the entire bus timetables for every bus from/to/travelling through the Killingworth, Westmoor, Forest Hall and Burradon area. By memorised, I mean he could see a bus passing, tell you which route it was, where it was going, when it’d be back, he was a fucking machine ( if he was alive today he’d be all over that map like a dog eating chips).

I was saying the only things I could remember were them and the lasso apart from Linda Carter. Everyone remembers the outfit (and her in it)

That era was full of some quality blart mind you. Sally James was right up there as well

I’ve a mate lives in forest hall who’s a big vinyl collector who has a juke box. He likes a lot of different stuff but in particular northern soul. A few year back all the Motown singles were released on 7” in box sets by year. From about ‘64 onwards until the late 60s just about every single one is a stone cold classic. The label’s output was absolutely incredible. I think Paul McCartney was saying one time how when the Beatles were at their peak the stuff coming out of Motown (rather than the Beach Boys or the Stones) was what they considered to rival them / inspire them to be even better

I used to love Wonder Woman. Despite not really being able to remember anything except Linda Carter I think she had a lasso that could make you tell the truth and bracelets that could deflect bullets? I think just about anyone who had a thing for women fancied her back then though

Lynda Carter might be in her 70s but I’d happily put her hip out.

Sunderland ‘til you die? Think again, marra.

You'll be alright, Rents. You're family will probably be relieved that you'll be physically feeling better and sorting yourself out but if I may say so, you can fuck off with that guys shit.

Linda Carter as Wonder Woman is possibly the most breathtakingly beautiful woman ever to have drawn breath

"I don't believe anything these days. Nothing. Take kids, eh? Lovely little things aren't they? My son said he liked the song we had on in the car this morning, but there was something in his voice that made me think 'This kid is a fucking liar'. Still love 'em to bits the little sods! Has anyone tried the English tapas behind the bar? Three for a tenner and each meal comes with a paper napkin with the XG charts for this season's Premier League teams. Look away now, Man United fans!"

Not a chance. It’s shaping up to be a classic of its genre

Made it even tastefuller
