hadn't even heard one of his songs till a couple of years ago. me son kept banging on about him saying he was really good so I downloaded his 2 albums. first one's excellent I reckon, not as keen on the 2nd though, but its not bad. on the strength of the first album I joined the mailing list for presale tickets and then completely forgot about it ro the extent I missed out not only on last night but the announcement of a second night and those tickets selling out too! had a pre match pint in the percy before the man utd game with fender's uncle and tried blagging a couple of tickets off him, not a fucking chance, I suspect I wasn't the first person to ask him either! anyway, bizarre the mackems hatred of him, bit warped in actual fact. I liked the angelic upstarts as a kid it mattered not that mensi was a mlf. stupid cunts.

fucking bilbao thing is beyond tragic mind, reminds me of the helen shapiro classic of unrequited love.....

it should be a rule that that you can't write the word alabama without hoying up a picture of patricia.....

prove it.

aye. it's astonishing really that anybody living about 4 mile from newcastle city centre, got dragged along shopping with their mother in newcastle, whose old man took them to watch football in newcastle and who went out drinking, eating and socialising in newcastle, would choose to support anybody other than sunderland. cunts.

lad at the start of that video is a sunniside lad nickname rabbit. known him donkey's years. me and him travelled all over the country together in his gold mk1 golf, very early 80s and throughout the keegan (player) promotion season. top bloke!

well apart from a mike ashley owned one.

sunday 28th may, glorious sunshine, west end of fancy london town, 3000 partying geordies, gordon opens his account with an absolute belter. no one there will forget it.

erm, if you've got access to lots of channels shall we say, I thoroughly recommend 'sisu'. a finnish movie set in lapland at the end of the second world War about a prospector who has gold stolen by nazis and single handedly wreaks havoc getting it back, fucking brutal stuff, best movie I've watched for a while!

just a footnote to anybody who was remotely interested to my goshawk nest story a couple of weeks ago.... because its a schedule one protected bird and as they've been doing forestry work with a tree harvester in the woodland where the nest is I contacted an organisation called the gloucestershire raptor monitoring group who were delighted with my find and arranged to meet me and show them the nest. the company doing the forestry work were ordered to stop any further work until the chicks fledge and in future no work can be done within the vicinity as the goshawks are likely to return to same nest next year. yesterday evening I was invited out by an ecologist to see the chicks being ringed and recorded. was a privilege to see these incredible birds so close and hold them, fantastic experience. my babies.......

think I bumped in to the aftermath of them closing weatherspoons on puntney bridge itself. couple of hundred very loud and very, very pissed newcastle supporters headed to the tube station as I was on me way to the square for a more genteel pimps and lemonade with lashings of fresh fruit outside the boathouse. we must've been neighbours, shame I missed you. always found finsbury park worse than fulham broadway for an away day pint.

tremendous article that. think if tony gillian ever went transatlantic he'd be a shoe-in for a pulitzer prize.

@Kid Dynamite.... one of chester-le-street's finest on there!

not me mate, practically teetotal today. anyway, of much more pressing concern... how's UM, has there been any more updates?

in the boathouse at putney bridge. loads of newcastle supporters in here but can't see anybody drinking vodka and coke. worried for UM and his azuma.

on a gwr train from slough to paddington. it's green. hang on in there for another groovy update.

luton town...... tiny little tinpot club from mosque infested bedfordshire, showing the mackems how to do it. fucking camel humpers.

bit of a conundrum isn't it? with ashley I think regardless of any football ground he owns I'd rather he just ate the ghee heavy dhansak that finally tips his right and left coronary arteries over the edge. from a football point of view a win for jimmy hill's old boys, preferably about 15 minutes after the game should've ended would ensure tragic mackems shaking their fists and hurling obscenities at statues until at least 2075. I'd quite like that too.

aye. never heard of the cunt either. shite article which I didn't pay to read. looks like a young rolf harris. all in all, nick's probably best avoided.

a penalty for no contact whatsoever. not even remotely close to. fucking madness.

they would never have took the doll mate. even the sunday afternoon crowd tanked up on slalom d would've resisted the mackems with ease.

very worrying isn't it? only a matter of time I think till they claim the percy arms.

the pub opposite where the old marlborough crescent bus station was used to be called the durham ox. clayton street has fallen.

did a 3 week tour of northern spain going back a few year in the van, being a tight cunt we wilded for the vast majority of it. anyway.... my birthday fell towards the end of the trip and she said as a present she'd pay for a campsite in nearby hondarribia and we'd get at taxi into san sebastian for a meal/night out. went to probably the busiest and poshest looking pintxos establishment in the old town and loaded me plate a foot high with everything the had squid/octopus/prawns/crab on it and generally looked like it could be expensive while she dutifully waited by the till to pay for it. never seen anybody's face turn so ashen grey so quickly when she was handed the bill for my birthday treat. stunning food, but fucking extortionate! we wilded and ate sandwiches for the rest of the trip.

they appear to have made their parsnip section even more private. the account I registered (but never actually posted with) just so I could have a nose and a chuckle at their expense now won't let me look on there. the unsociable twats!
