OK then Kitty, I will
Good: Taking the kids to a Halloween party as they both loved it and had a great time. Making bat cookies and icing them for said party. Making a cool pumpkin for my daughter

Bad: Speaking to a copper at the party who was off to Sunderland later on that night when he started duty quote "to kick some Makem heads in". It was then pointed out that a) he is a copper and probably shouldnt be saying things like that and b) I am a Makem. What a fucking prick! If I'd had a couple of cans more I think I might have been tempted to take him up on his offer right there. Tosspot

What's a Makem?
Are you in an Indian tribe?

I once met a Special in a pub and as soon as I said that I worked for a firm of solicitors specialising in criminal defence he proper laid into me about it so I ended up asking him if he behaved well did he get to drive the van. He stormed out after that.

A Makem
is someone from Sunderland in "local" speak. Different from a Geordie

P.S.

Did you " " when you said Special

Nice
Presumably he was disappointed as I imagine any potentially volatile Makem fans would have left Newcastle as quickly as humanly possible

He also told a "hilarious" tale
about his boss being a massive Newcastle fan and at the last derby match in Sunderland charging from behind the Police lines to smack someone with his truncheon (!) then hiding back in with the rest of the pigs. Truly "hilarious". Oh how we laughed.....

Good to know that hooliganism is being countered with such moderate measures

My thoughts entirely
Suffice to say my kids will not be mixing with his spawn from now on if that is the level for morals....
