I misread "Beer Prices on Lordship Lane" as "Bear Prices on Lordship Lane"

and

"Car Surfing on Jennings Road" as "Cat Surfing on Jennings Road".


Newcastle is the best place to live.

Anything you can buy in London, you can buy in Newcastle.

Except the people, many of whom are not for sale, unlike venal metropolitan types. They have principles, values, good grace and good sense.

Newcastle has a large accessible ocean waterfront, as opposed to a stagnant pond overcrowded with rapacious ducks.

Newcastle has lovely houses, lots of open space and is very close to some of the most beautiful countryside in the world.

Newcastle has short queues, for which all service providers apologise even if you are only waiting 30 secs.

People in Newcastle do not feel the cold, at all, and so need no clothes or heating and do not contribute to global warming. When it falls below zero they eat curry.


Everywhere else from Sheffield north is also superior and should immediately declare independence from Westminster and join Scotland in a new improved and very popular country.

I like to think the good livin' that I had was on the coast of Turkey - where I swam to work every day, they bought be all my meals for the day, my accommodation was ?3 a night including breakfast and I danced the night away OR did midnight parachute jumps of the local mountain to land next to the local bar.


Now I think about it - that was great livin'.

    • I hope it's ok to use this thread to ask for advice on a separate issue in relation to TJ Medical Practice. A friend of mine who is registered there has recently been diagnosed with a serious long-term condition. He has been struggling to find a good GP at the practice since the departure of Dr Love and I said I would try to find out which of the remaining GPs other patients have found most capable and sympathetic - particularly for the scenario of overseeing ongoing care for a long-term progressive illness. Is there any particular GP that people would recommend?  Very many thanks.
    • I,m not a fan of Gales; but a lot of food serving premises open on Xmas day , so not unusual, worked in catering for nearly 40 years and staff usually get extra pay… My niece who is in her last year of college & wants to go travelling next summer, is waitressing in a restaurant near where she lives on Xmas day & Boxing Day for £20 per hour to boost her travelling fund. Back in the day I worked New Year’s Day 2000, & had my pay bumped to £50 per hour, happy days (wasn’t forced I volunteered)
    • Hardly strange; arcane perhaps. It used to be a common practice in many towns for the swings, roundabouts etc in parks to be chained up by the council on Sundays, so that they didn’t provide a source of reckless pleasure on the sabbath. The outrage that a cake shop should open on Christmas Day reminded me of this. The policy had pretty much died out in England and Wales by the 70’s but is still in force in parts of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
    • I would be interested to learn if Gail's hike their prices on Christmas day. I don't go to Gail's (as I prefer Christophers on HM Lane) but if anyone does go and detects a bit of price gouging, please let us all know.
