Fuck the PIF for not painting the Tyne Bridge!

 

This post of course then triggering severa dozen more about why we shouldn't have an NE mayor (like nearly every other metropolitan region) because "Wheyz why shud weez payez for their bridge lyke?".

Honestly, these cunts are an absolute embarassment with their petty bitterness, jealousy and paranoia. They're an absolute dead weight holding back the entire region.

Technically half the bridge is in Gateshead which was in County Durham 50 years ago and therefore belongs to Sunderland. So why don’t they make a start on it?

Aye marra. Was thinking as well, the Blaydon races was about races in Blaydon, Gateshead, County Durham. But y'knarr a knarr the first bit is set in Poocastle. Why don't we let the Black and White bastards sing the first two verses and we'll have the other verses and the chorus like? FTM.

They do it already with this "Land of the Prince Bishops" thing.

The fact that during the time of the Prince Bishops, sunderland was little more than a few pig sheds isn’t important here, Durham belongs to sunlin’.

It's a great idea for a novelty gift tbf, and I want some. Is the author suggesting that the manufacturer shouldn't use this idea because they are based in Seaham and not Newcastle? 🤣

Sad, sad mackem bastards.

They targetted a Gateshead based signage company with bad reviews and general intimidation because of the black cats bar carry on. Wrong company as it happens. 

 

Edit: nearly word for word jinx!

My favourite one is still the English civil war thing. I.e. a minor skirmish which involved hardly any, if any at all, locals. At a time when Sunderland didn’t even exist in any meaningful sense. Which was actually related to the Bishops War, which was a part of the civil war where the Scots wanted religious freedom. So they allied with the parliamentarians in a ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend arrangement. You’ll be lucky to find it mentioned in any academic texts. They’ve created a Wikipedia page which references a a website that mentions it in passing. Off the back of that they’ve created a mythical story about its significance and how it’s the root of the rivalry between us and them. It makes the Athletic Bilbao stuff look credible.

Well am not satisfied marra. listen to the blurb they put on the website:

  Quote

The phrase "carrying coals to Newcastle" is an idiom that means to do something pointless or redundant. It is often used to describe a situation in which someone is trying to do something that is already being done or that is not needed.

The phrase comes from the fact that Newcastle upon Tyne, England, was a major coal-producing city in the 18th and 19th centuries. Coal was so abundant in Newcastle that it was often used as a form of currency. As a result, there was no need to bring coal to Newcastle, as it was already readily available.

The phrase "carrying coals to Newcastle" is still used today, often in a humorous or sarcastic way. It can be used to describe a situation in which someone is trying to do something that is obviously unnecessary or to express frustration with a situation that is already hopeless.

Expand  

 

Well marra, there was never any coal mines in the city of Poocastle itself (well, maybe a couple yonks ago). Newcastle's coal came from the SE Nothumberland pits or was stolen from the Land of Prince Bishops. Whereas, there was a working pit in Sunderland right until 1993! It's well known that the phrase was "like selling coal to Sunderland" until the black and white gravy stained scum maggots stole it off wur. FTM!

The population of Sunderland during the English civil war was <1500. :lol:

By contrast, the population of Newcastle during medieval times was about the 4th largest in the UK for most that time.

It was carrying ca'als to Sunlin' but the mags changed it to carrying coals to Newcastle - It's just Ha'way to Howay all over again, marra.
