Meenzer

Just got back from four days on, in and around the Swiss end of Lake Maggiore. Lovely part of the world and not a bad place to kick back with a beer and just relax (if you can ignore the Swissness of it all).

Still in the spare room at my parents' place, still basically working. Not entirely sure why (on either count).

Magnificent

I was in Lincoln for the first time the other weekend, thought it seemed really quite nice. But aye, I can see how you'd grow out of it.

Been better - just been woken by a text telling me that my flight's been cancelled. They've rebooked me but it means losing the first daytime of a four-day holiday. Oh well. Must think happy thoughts about the wine at the other end.

Oh, I don't know... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl7UpnEh7H4

I really need to get some image editing software that isn't from 1998.

I'd forgotten about that

Ee, I'd forgotten about her. When she was on the show, one of the tabloids mass-messaged all of us who'd been to the same school on Friends Reunited (speaking of "where are they now"...) to fish for gossip. I should have made something up.

"And parmesan's meant to be a powder!"

At least he's familiar with the concept of keeping things shrink-wrapped for safety.

And, since we're in that territory, the aforementioned "bum"

That's where he... caught your eye?

Can't see him hacking it abroad on a personal level like, he can barely cope with being a few hours from Tyneside by car.

I strongly suspect Mags.

I reckon her head could be turned.

Actually legendary.

My heyday was bobbyshinton's bumsex thread. It's all gone up shit creek since then.

The one with "Newcastle" in a London Underground tube stop style is a touch baffling. I suppose we are hosting a small part of the "London" Olympics.

To be fair, that is a perfect description of Dave.

Yes, we're well known for our desire to read about lady parts in intimate detail.

You could get in touch with this place too, they have a shop in central Newcastle near the ground as well as the online store: http://www.tbpsportsmemorabilia.co.uk/

Aye, it's back to the Queen Vic now and seems canny enough the few times I've been in. Decent range of beers and the bar snacks look quite tempting. Definitely an improvement anyway, though being an old man I tend to end up in the County or the back room of the Gosforth instead. The Wetherspoons is perfectly OK too. No need to walk to the metro even, there's tons of buses go from right outside the High Street pubs past the Town Moor to the Civic. Takes 5 minutes (well, maybe a bit longer with matchday traffic).

I just guess them on that category. I figure if you're quick, there's a decent chance you'll get one and maybe two right in a round, which might be enough.
