The prospect of moving to London
and paying over the odds for accommodation and the general cost of living, would, frankly, make me come like a faulty fire hydrant.

It's not top of my list of places to work.

Mine either.
Don't get me wrong, I like London; as a place to visit it's magnificent. But I could no more live there than I could spend the rest of my days on the receiving end of a red hot poker.

I used to think that
until I started visiting it a lot more often. Now I think I could probably live there for a bit. Not for ages, but for a bit. It'd be interesting, certainly.

I think Wayne Winstone Norris is a lesson to all of us.
You didn't see Bomber or Oz OD'ing did you?

Absolutely not, no.

I'm sure smack is in its infancy in Gateshead.

Smack is still a form of parental discipline in Gateshead, mate.

How did your nephew get on with his trial?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 22 Feb 2011, 23:45, Reply)

Rather well, apparently.
Did everything that was asked of him. He was one of only three defensive players there out of 30 kids (apparently the focus is more on strikers and midfielders), and there were only two players in the team he plays for selected to go. His was an automatic selection, the other kid's name was selected out of a hat.

30 scouts there today from clubs all around the country. Even if he doesn't get selected he's had a brilliant experience.

Fantastic

I'm still about.
Had a late meeting tonight; I'm still in wind down mode, even though I'm utterly fucked.

Both times I visited, it seemed to be like Sheffield, but twice as grey, stuffed to the seams with miserable rude bastards, and smelling even more of piss.
Couldn't see the appeal myself.

Plus, it's full of darkies.
Frankly, I wonder how Monty puts up with it all.
