All done. Hope all goes well Cath.

I cannot stand the man. My son has his book and tells me to read it but I just can't because I'm not keen on him. And I know he did much for safety in F1 but there ya go!

Good news Is it still close to the kids? Within 45 mins which is exactly what I was after. Brand new 3 double bed duplex flat next to a canal - quiet village with 2 pubs over the road and a cricket ground 5 mins away. Perfect Oh sounds idyllic. Nice one Craig

Hubby says a beard is great in the winter as his garage is cold and also it keeps him warm on his bike

2nd episode of the series The Great British Bake Off tonight. I missed the first one! Last series was quite watchable, mainly because I like to see the disasters

Pork Luncheon Meat was a mainstay on our plates as kids. Pek Chopped Pork was used in a variety of ways, ranging from but not limited to; Pizzas, Sandwiches, Pasta. I still like it personally, though she wont entertain it in the house as she says it smells like catfood. I'm a creation of all that I've done in my past and what I've seen. Lived in Exeter/Torquay for a couple of years in the early 00s. Most people would tone the accent down and be more respectful of others 'way of life'. Unfortunately, I found myself, and still do to this day, comparing everything to my upbringing. I had a normal Geordie upbringing. Dad owned pubs (The Central, Half Moon, Station, Queens Head) so lived above one until I was about 10. LCL, Corned Beef and Beetroot Sandwiches and KP crisps were a delicacy in my mind until I was about 16. You's are right though, if we were all the same it'd be a boring existance. Don't mean to come across as a cock when bigging up our area or thinking I'm Uber Geordio. Places like TupTup and them bars at the bottom of the Bigg Market sicken me though. They're not inkeeping with our heritage or way of life in Newcastle. This is why there are soo many muscle laden mongs in v-neck tshirts out on the drink everynight in Town. Anyway, anyone fancy doing a come dine with me TT special? I can come to yours and feast on beautiful wines and scallops then you can come to mine and I'll dish up a jacket taity and cheese with a slab of Kestrel Super Strength? My other half loves grilled Spam, thin and crispy.........full of fat and salt!

queue snakey denial posts You'd love it. No more oily hands all over your breasts, and a bloke who doesnt' stink of diesel all the time. Re your 'ailment': I hope things have calmed down. Being on the other side of it myself for a year or two now, I can only sympathise with you and your grease monkey hub. Thanks Snakey......it just seems like one thing after the other

Those bloody Brummies again Stevie

My friend drinks that, its lethal.

I like Pimms too, which probably offsets my feelings about the word "lunch" tbh. It's all coming out now.

Clearly someone with bigger sideboards than Elvis circa 1972. Anyway this geordie off!!! Mac beats me I reckon, Wacky does, and possibly HMHM too. I don't speak like a pure rarfy, you heard me on the wireless anyway. Well funnily enough, those you mentioned and yourself, come across to me as 'proper Geordie'

Ohh I do lurve a tall ice cold Pimms and lemonade

Hubby regularly grows a beard much to my disgust Its only when he's really busy, he just lets it grow. I bloody hate it an all. And if he gets any food in it or in his tache it makes me feel queasy, yuk! And now if it gets long he gets the odd grey hair, which is even worse especially in his tache as it can look like snot I like just a bit of stubble tbh. Very few men can get away with a beard. That man who occasionally presents coast and also took part in celebrity Masterchef last year (forget his name) has an enormous face full of hair that I wonder how ANYBODY could ever kiss him, vile

What would you say if one of your pals like Jonny said "Alex would you entertain the idea of some lunch after the match?". He wouldn't, because he's a down to earth kid that is quite apparent. Think I'd prefer that to what hubby said to his mate yesterday, I repeat...'Have we got a hot dinner date tomorrow night then?'

I'd never forget my roots, I'm very proud of where I'm from plus I'm very patriotic too.

Nooooo, my god what a nightmare that would be Nooo, try more premenopause I expect

What irritates me are those people who must have the latest pet or handbag or whatever because they think it makes them look posher Went to a party recently...honestly there was nothing 'normal' to eat. Hubby was disgusted It was all olives, ickle fishies on sticks and humous. Nothing wrong with those foods but they were there because its 'in' Hubby kept saying...'where are the sandwiches!

Wey, you have your quilt/duvet cover, then a sheet, then another 'frilly' sheet under the matress that hides the bottom of the bed. You not have one of them? A valance sheet Most people use them tbh. I have purple ones to match all my bedding. (Covers up the drawers in my bed) I also cover the duvet with a throw/bedspread and lots of matching little cushions in the day. Looks pretty Hubby complains every night about having to move all the cushions and the covers off!!

Thanks very much!!

I'm not in a great mood. I haven't felt right for a couple of weeks. Sort of a light headed, weird feeling in my head that comes and goes. I suppose I'd best see the Doc, but I got fed up with going last year And hubby drove our little work van into the back of a car the other day and it happened to be two Germans who could not speak much English. Hubby can speak no German so they had a fine old time! The Germans kept on and on about calling the Police but eventually they exchanged details and all was ok. Just damaged the front bumper of our van but broke the tail gate on their little car Hubby's first accident of his own fault in 30 years! Typical as we recently bought the van and did it in our race/business colours and design, it looks so good. This will put our business insurance up next April I expect, it was £2600 this year

there is some 'leftover'

Aww lump in the throat time again... Going back to safety in racing. My son does circuit racing and chooses to wear a HANS device. Its not yet mandatory in his series. But it always amazes me how many don't use one. He raced at Rockingham this weekend and before that at Snetterton where his top speed was 142 mph. I know so many things can happen, but at least he is as protected as possible. I'm just relieved that neither he or my hubby have ever raced single seaters, because they are so much more dangerous.

Maybe, but it has nothing to do with being a Geordie...it has everything to do with what time of the day you eat a hot cooked meal though! If you eat a dinner at lunchtime then it becomes Dinnertime! So then you'd have something light in the evening then making it Teatime. Perhaps I'd best not go there though You only ever seem to make massive meals followed by crumbles with custard, so I don't know what you're even arguing for. Last night my cooking effort wasn't great, I made cottage pie (council house food) with runner beans and tinned tomatoes. No dessert for me but they had a Tropical Solero each Tonight for dinner we are having smoked haddock, new potatoes, sugarsnap peas and Brocoli.

They're smart Craig. I want this and I'm going to have it!!!
