I've started early this year, and got some stuff off Amazon. I got my Mam a 1gb Creative Zen Nano, as she's been thinking about getting an MP3 player for a while. I was going to get her the 500 odd mb one, but the 1gb one was only 5 quid more. Not bad for £45. I got my Dad the Bob Dylan encyclopedia and a Dylan DVD that was offered with it in one of the Amazon deals. I got him a book about the Stones recording Exile on Main Street and another Stones book in a deal. He's got his birthday on December 1, so I'll give him one lot for that and the other for Christmas, and I might get him one of those world beers packs you can get as well. Fortunately, I don't buy a lot of presents, I've only got 5 or 6 pressies to get now.

Tonight's tea. I tried out one of Leazes Mag's curry recipies. Chicken Korma. It was good.

Instead of happening in the afternoon coming home from school the accidents would just happen in the morning on the way to school. They were talking about it on the radio and the spokesman from ROSPA wasn't convinced by the idea. I believe there was an experiment back in the 60s and it didn't work, hence it went back again.

I'll happily admit to being shite at DIY. Absolutely no interest in it at all. Changing Light bulbs - nee bother, I dare say I could remember how to wire a plug if I had to, but you don't have to do that so much these days, I can paint - if I have to, but that's about it. I know nothing about fuses - because I've always lived in a house with the fuse boxes you just push back in - Fusewire? I haven't got a clue about all that shit. Putting up shelves - nee chance. I don't get how some people have DIY as a hobby. Mind, I don't get the fascination with cars either.

There's a cracking Indian on Heaton Road - Khans. Its not at all bad price wise. I've been in a few times and its always busy and has quite a nice atmosphere. The service and food is really good. A down side is that it doesn't have a licence to serve alcohol, but you're more than welcome to take your own along, and most people do - so I suppose you don't get whacked with the higher prices restaurants charge for a drink. I really recommend it.

Aye me too please, if you have time. I'm quite a dab hand at making curries.

happy birthday

Aye

Not particularly funny or anything. I found this by putting Newcastle in as a search.

Eh? Not quite sure what you're on about. According to Five Live this afternoon, the reason why Man City didn't take up their full allocation was that Wigan were charging £37. That is a bit steep.

It's pretty sad if you can't remember good games and good times. That game was fantastic. Supporting your team is about the here and now, but its also about the past - remembering times both good and bad, funny things that have happened etc. Nothing sad about that. Anyway, it was a great day. I was in the Leazes at the time and at half time at 2-0 up I was trying not to let myself think we could win it. They were going to come back in the second half - definitely. At the time, the away fans were in the NE Corner (where I sit now) and I can remember walking round to the Leazes before the game, and there were the Man U fans outside - smug looks on their faces, some wearing 4-0 T-shirts about the Charity Shield with 'Kevin Keegan's Kleenex Army' written along the bottom of them. When it got to 4-0, I remember looking over to them and they were streaming out. At 5-0 there was almost a stampede over there with so many of them leaving. Very few of them stayed until the end.

old stuff, but I still find it funny.

Dark Continent. Mark Mazower's assessment of 20th Century Europe, in which he argues that Europe - often portrayed as being a cultured and civilised continent was actually a barbaric and bloody place, hence the title, which was often used as a term for the 'uncivilised' Africa.

I think the fact that he's a Cockney who supports Liverpool says that he is an armchair fan. The thing about Danny Baker when he did 606 was that often he'd do the show from a regional BBC studio if Millwall were away. Fair enough the guy can be a twat but he was class on 606 and was miles better than the likes of Spoony.

He can be an annoying tw@t, but when he presented 606 when it first started and Fantasy Football, also on Radio 5 he was really good. 606 these days is OK, but its been completely toned down. Alan Green gets upset if people go a bit OTT, but that used to be encouraged and there was some really funny phone calls.

*bangs head in frustration* Things are looking bloody grim at the moment. Its quite worrying that we're losing out to teams like Bolton and Fulham at home, especially when you're leading. I'm feeling really depressed about it all. I got tickets ages ago for the NME Tour at Northumbria Uni, which the Fratellis are headlining. I didn't realise at the time that it would clash with the League Cup, and I was hoping to at least be drawn away. I was a bit pissed off when we got a home tie against Portsmouth, but now in a way, I'm feeling relieved that I'm missing it. I was considering going the Man City away game as well, but I'm seriously rethinking it. Fair enough, you can't guarentee owt especially with away games but the way we're playing I can't see anything decent and it might just make me mega pissed off. Keep this up and we'll deserve to go down.

I saw The Departed last night. Its fantastic.

Planet Earth - fucking hell. I remember that place and went there for the same reason. It was shit.

Nah, the Pube Pizza on Dirty Sanchez was worse like.

World War 2 was the result of many individual events (inc WW1). i would doubt that any one man could stop the war from happening. Christ knows what you'd cause as well. Easy to say you'd do something to stop the war, but who knows what the alternative events would throw up.

erm...... FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

nah i've looked. I'd put it on myself, but my PC doesn't like the DVD. It'll play on my normal DVD player though, just not on my PC.

On a similar theme. The Tory Atlas of the World (from the 1980s) (It's big, so I'll post the link) http://uk.wrs.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0Je5agVZR9F4...04/mapLarge.jpg

I still think Geordie Star Wars is better. "Got any REM mate?"
