thing is these 'opportunities' come along few and far between for local councillors or indeed local media and they have to make the most of a situation to improve the cv. its a sad inditement, but all to common.

I was at the ACPO conference in Manchester last week and saw Sue Sim wandering around, my colleague said ' is she an extra from that gene hunt show?, all that 80's hair thing gong on'

good to see the local councillor looking smart on the tv at midnight, clearly a career politician in the making.
just seen the weather forecast, doesn't look good for the nght ahead.

try and get Gazza down from Rothbury, he'll do the job for you just fine

'the trunk of a tree, looks like steel super structure' ????? with leaves growing out of it???? come on Sky I know its been a long shift but ffs

The mrs said to me at 9.30, I'm bored with the telly what does stw say about this…..

Drac he told me he went to Rothbury for a quiet life and a safe place for him, Tracy and the kids 8O

I can't believe Gazza has turned up, truly bizzare. Apparently he took moat a can of lager and a bit chicken! He could do with another spell in a secure unit poor bloke

you best drag corky out the pub now if he's on with you tomorrow. Otherwise he'll be regalling you of stories of how things like this were a daily thing in Gateshead.

though knowing him you've probably heard them all before……

I couldn't believe sky said that, clowns. You gotta love the media…….

bedtime Drac, thats 2 dodgy one liners in your last 3 posts, put the glass down and step away from the beer

'are you suggesting he's going to nod off?'

not before I do with the continuous replays on the beeb

going to get dark fairly soon, things might change, police can work shifts but there's only one of him. interesting to see how long he can keep this up, assuming he's been awake since early doors.

That figures, in times of crisis alan can always be found clutching a pint

Drac pleased to see your not on duty, my mate Corky isn't working is he?

+1 Monksie

My boss tells me to 'chillaxe' ….hhmmmmmm

enough already

every thing that is spoken in the BB house

the word 'legend' when applied to footballers under the age of 30, popstars who've had 2 singles released and film stars from romcoms and the like.

across the piece – I can barely tolerate any BS business speak

Fantastic thanks for entertaining us with this for the last few weeks, take my hat off to ya, I feel like my favourite TV show has just ended and theres nothing to look forward to now, I've been hanging on your every word for weeks :cry:

Goes away to plan an epic………..who am I kidding, lets just start with a trip round the woods and dream a bit.

I love reading about other peoples adventures on here, great story and pics, this kinda stuff really keeps you enthused about the sport and makes you think about what's out there beyond your comfort zone and usual riding

The commentators drive you mad, but try listening with the sound off??
It's Clive Tyldsley and Jim Beglin who talk the most sh!t for me, Mark Bright on BBC is hopeless as well. heard Robbie savage on 5live yesterday they seem to have the better co commentators always tend to get a laugh from them, no sitting on the fence. Savage was actually getting his digs in to Jurgy Low the german coach 'looks like a man to old to have that much black hair, I reckon its out of the bottle' said robbie with his bleach blonde locks flowing in the hot air he was spouting.
Colin Murray on fighting talk is top notch, really good show.

Corden probably isn't the problem its the media all wanting the flavour (all be it not to everyones taste) of the month to front there latest pish show, money talks.
Haven't watched any of his shows other than G&S which I can take or leave frankly, but a lot of his work seems to bear a striking resemblence to that of Ricky Gervais, make a show with me being me in it and pretend its just my stage persona thats a cock and not me :roll:

sweet

CG all is well in the Alwinton/Clennell St area's. Did a 15 miler last night from Barrowburn Bunk house where we stayed, coming down Clennel St and out of Alwinton. Did a larger loop around Clennell St and upto Bloodybush and back today, very nice.

Weather was really good, dry winds keeping all of the riding in good condition.

Enjoy.

Going up on Friday night for a spin and then a stop in some old barn and then back out saturday morning, will report back on conditions.

I think they were packing in the runs before the rain came on a bit, its a monday after work, you take what you can.

Thanks for the offers, I'm going back north on Wednesday at 5pm

bugger, wish I'd never asked. I'm in Northumberland doing a bothy trip Fri/Sat and could have really done with a few more miles in the legs, was peed off to have to come down here and now I find this. Going to bed now so I'm not depressed in the morning.
As for riding in my boxers…well maybe not on the bike! (at least not one with wheels :lol: )

Have only packed a suit and 2 shirts :(
There's always next time.
Whats the downhill near the village? 4 guys in a big van playing turns each driving/DH had me intrigued??

Just the volume of bikers (darkside & mtb) got me kicking myself straight off. To make matters worse my room in the hotel is opposite the pedal&spokes shop, and all i've got to do down here is talk shop for 3 days with colleagues, I could cry.

Well Doc, next time the boss decides to have the team meeeting down here I'll be with bike.

Nezbo, you been on the drink? your first post makes no sense to me…..however that might be totally inkeeping with the thread…keep up the good work fella

'thats called an aglet'

now that is pure pub quiz

Liver

oh and after a recent medical assesment anything with gluten in cos it hates my guts, quite literally.

the doc printed off something from a website that said,

'some prefer the traditional method of hitting the cyst with a large book, traditionally a large family sized bible to remove the offending growth'

I'm not trying that even if God is on my side. And we only have family size boxes of cereal at my gaff and defeating an ungodly cyst with 650gram box of rice krispies ain't gonna do much good

agree with most of above. A lot of players have missed lots of games through injury or form has been consistently poor this season yet still appear in squad. I think Carrick and Gerrard have been really slack this season but couldn't see SG ever getting dropped, but Carrick? please do me a favour, reminds me of Ray Wilkins I'm sure he thought he was playing rugby, he never passed the ball forward.

+1 for anchor

its been a while since I ate there, but the hotel next to the tower (murray arms??)in Gatehouse of fleet was nice

Fantastic technology, but when are they going to come up with something thatskeeps teenagers bedrooms tidy! just been up stairs to check on the daughter and it looks like a bombs gone off

I see your point Burls.
Its a small piece of metal and trying to create a bbq on the cheap when you can get them at halfords, b&q for a tenner or less, risk assessed you might give it a miss.

Kuco, propane, now that would be a different kettle of fish altogether. Keep a fair distance from that one if someone fires up an angle grinder. Good for youtube and nowt else!

Burls, have been in cylinder gas business for years and our retail outlets sell lots of these things and customers often bring them back when empty, we normally empty them and run the fork truck over them and chuck em on the scrap pile. You could probably get into them with a pair of tin snips never mind an angle grinder.

send is probably on some type of auto set up
edit? BBC, PA, Reuters could be anybody or the agency the Phot works for?
Most DSLR's have a cable link to laptops, been to a couple of footy matches in the last few years and spent more time jealously watching the phots round edge of pitch than game, looks like a branch of currys in a field

EDIT. wifi memory cards? what witchcraft is this? my god I behind the times!

most tickets will have 'not transferrable' stamped on them in some place. Didn't stop me doing the same today in a car park, saving me the princely sum of 60p.
