Parting words- “ I’ll be back about 5:00, I’m not drinking so I’ll get something for tea on the way back” Just steamed in, absolutely Weebled, soooo, a swift trip to Friez and Burgz, and a top up of beverage at Sainsbury, and that’s me set for the match- she’ll be asleep in 20 minutes ** The current band have one original member- the drummer. It’s like serving up a Cornish Pastie and saying it’s Carbonara because both have pepper in them Alan Hull (RIP) became a member of our quiz team at the Black Horse Monkseaton quiz nights thirty odd years ago. Lovely bloke. Sank a few bottles of red wine perched against our mantlepiece at one of our house parties back in the day. Of his songs, he hated Fog on the Tyne, Lady Eleanor was what he thought his best. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonpack 9973 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 P.S. to the above (funny story, well I thought so). Lass I worked with, knew me, my brother and our dad went to the quiz night. One week she said, would you mind if me, my sister and her hubby came down. Was fine by me, as we were always outnumbered. So we’re stood in the pub waiting and lass and her folks turn up, we all say hello and the fella says “anyone want a drink” and disappears to the bar. I turn to the lass (Jackie) and say “Christ, your brother in law is the spitting dabs of Alan Hull out of Lindisfarne” she simply replied “That’s coz he is” 😂 That is how I met Alan. We quizzed as a team on and off for couple of years, Alan actually at one time ran his own quiz at the Maggy Bank in Shields. He loved a quiz 😂😂 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 43089 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 I’ve made a grave error- the Lindisfarne Mrs. F. went to see isn’t the one with just the drummer, it’s the one with Rod Liddle* and Alan Hull’s son-in-law, who are apparently the “official” one, so… … Spaghetti Bolognaise as opposed to Cornish Pasty. * NOOOO! It’s Rod Clements, sorry. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have IBS everything slips through your digestion system in one piece - only the piece is liquified. Except when it doesn’t slip at all, and the food you eat for a whole month form one big dry piece that only comes out once it’s tore through your hoop enough to live itself with the blood of the innocent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35595 Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 I see a just stop oil protestor just got sentenced to 5 years. I’m not always a fan of their tactics, as I think they piss off the people they should be trying to win over. But how the fuck is that remotely proportionate? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One got 5 years and three others got 4 years each. It's outrageous. Same judge let a copper off, with 12 months suspended, who had picked up a pissed lass outside a nightclub to "take her home safely", he shagged her in the back of his patrol car. Oh and he kept is job as a copper. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s very similar and shares the same meaning as glaikit, which our sweaty northern brethren use. Outside of there and the North East, I don’t think you’ll hear it used or comprehended.
