  1. Agreed.

    Asides London it's the only place I know where if you attempt to speak to a stranger they look at you as if you are a complete maniac (though in London it tends to have a more' date=' "how dare you!" edge). The amount of hours I've spent in bus stops being too scared to look anyone in the eye for fear of being branded, "weird" in this city is unreal.

    You want to give Carlisle a try - I've never met so many nutters per head of population in my life........... Botchergate on a Saturday night is a warzone. I suppose it may have improved over the last twenty years but I doubt it.

  2. This from today's Popbitch site:

    Britain's papers have been full of the sad tale of a mother who murdered her Down's

    Syndrome son, after caring for him full-time for 36 years. So what was the final straw for the exasperated mother?

    "Patrick had spent the entire day listening to the same Elton John CD, shouting the

    word 'Elton' repeatedly."

    I'd say it was reasonable grounds.

  3. yeah they should totally be aware of fetish occurances in the NE. hahaha.

    the boots in your avatar?

    Yes - my lovely impractical birthday boots that some of the girlies bought me last year. I am a high heeled expert of many years but these aren't really designed for hiking around town and I want an occasion to wear them somewhere other than the house!!!

  4. i have a bebo account with no profile' date=' purely to harass my 13 year old sister, who's not yet old enough for myspace. it's amazing how many 'witty' guys claim they went to albyn on bebo.

    stroppycow is right. the quality of weirdo is far superiour on myspace, plus you get to push your musical tastes on other people.[/quote']

    Hear hear!! Currently any poor fool who finds me on myspace gets a blast of Acoustic Ladyland as soon as the page opens, and very character building it is too.

    Right. Its such a glorious sunny day that I have that Friday feeling and am off to sit in the dark tunnel that is the Moorings.

    Cheers!

  5. I hardly think so.....

    Maybe old MySpace whores have joined Bebo as they see it as a more underground' date=' cooler MySpace-type site where only the best people go - the majority trying to be in the minority so to speak.[/quote']

    I registered with Bebo about a year ago, encouraged by a pal who lives abroad as an easy way to keep in touch. All I seem to get are teenage wankers getting in touch and inviting me round to their mum's house (when she is on holiday) for 'fun'. Or my friends nieces being 14 year old trollops and making me want to slap them.

    I think you get a better quality of weirdos on myspace.

  6. Carmines is ace' date=' way better than Little Italy in my opinion. Another alternative is Panino's on George Street, owned by the guy who has Rustico's. I had my last birthday there and it was pretty good, food and wine are very reasonable and it's a nice size, slightly bigger than Carmines I think, so you could probably book the place out if you wanted.[/quote']

    Panino is gorgeous - used to eat there a lot when based in George St area. Surprised its the same folk that run Rustico - Rustico is SHITE - overpriced, not very good food and crap service. Weird......

  7. I used to play with mates in Kincorth in the late 60s....it was idyllic then' date=' and a lot safer at the time than Mastrick, where I spent my formative years.

    If MKll was there for a while I can understand how things started to slide :)[/quote']

    I was born in the late 60's and thus spent my childhood in Kincorth in the 70's and I agree - it was a great place to play as a kid, and a very sought-after estate. Regrettably it all went downhill in the 80s.

  8. Bah. When I was young and everything was made of wood....

    Kincorth isn't that bad. It's nowhere near as bad as it was when I grew up there, in the mid eighties. The worst you get now is a bunch of scabby neds trying to stop you going into the Coop or spitting at you when you come out of Spar. Then, you got mad folk murdering peoples parents in the local.

    We used to run riot up the Gramps for hours. There was a local 'prowler' who followed the kids around. He was called Peter. In those days, your parents didn't have a protest march and brick his windows and phone News of the World about such things. If we saw him following us we would turn round yelling 'PETER THE PROWLER! PETER THE PROWLER!' and chase him. He wasn't a very efficient paedo.

    No one ever looked for us in helicopters, adn we'd have got a skelped lug instead of a cuddle, for causing all that trouble.
