See what he says...

I'm still tempted to steal AdamY's idea and set up a fake Cliff Hignett profile on facebook, stalking the GNE page almost religiously

Please do it. When they complain, say it's a 'public forum'.
Oh my god, that would be brilliant.
I can ask my question too, and you can comment on that! :p

I'd understand if it was a Geordie term like "pet" or "flower", but the creepy thing is that he only ever says "babe" and "hun" to young women - most of which don't appreciate what the "absolute creature" has to say

Not sure I would do the role justice - but seeing as the idea is out there now, if anyone else fancies doing it?
Mind the profile 'Leyland Olympian' gives as good as he gets. I quite look forward to seeing him put those two to the sword

A lad who calls anyone 'hun' has serious problems. So wrong.

Do it. I'll make an exception in this case.
Cliff Hignett profile picture should look like Tony Clifton.
(Look him up kids)

Think we might have to wait a little bit. At current, there's only one person with that name and he's from Australia. Do you have a URL link?

He's not new. I'm pretty sure that this guy is (or was) an Arriva driver based at Durham.

Please do.
I was in two minds whether to do this. One on hand it would be incredibly amusing trolling these Z-list GNE celebrities but on the other wouldn't just make us as sad as them (and further exacerbate the problem GNE has with it's management of social media)?
But there again, on the second point, GNE's FB page is rather farcical anyways.

Definitely. I actually know Cliff in real life and, on occasion, have let him post stuff here using my account. He told me one or two people asked him a few questions and he answered accordingly. I haven't looked at what he wrote (can't be bothered to search and look now), I hope he hasn't been misbehaving himself.
Has anyone ever visited this website? They have a twitter account too.

Always good for a laugh, mind I always sleep with one eye open, just to be on the safe side.
I do it all the time. If I ever want to sleep on public transport, I ensure I have the window seat and a hoodie to keep me hidden.
I try to be as discreet as possible when taking the photos. Could lead to a very awkward journey...
I see Ant Nightie is commenting a lot on Facebook.
Ant Nightie?
If this Countdown there'd be a conundrum

That has to be a mickey take profile - just looking at the words he has used
I noticed it says on his profile he is Self=Employed, any guesses to what that entails.
Ant Nightie

You are brilliant, hun. Keep up the good work.
I reckon he's been watching too much Paul O'Grady, and all of a sudden had a brain wave and came up with a rather terrible/exactly same person under a different name alter ego character.

The photo's taken from a website. I've Google Image searched it, and the photo has a watermark if you look closely.
Come on guys, it's clearly someone from NEB! Hignett hasn't lost the plot..yet.

I assumed it was someone on here!
I don't feel the advice for the travel query on
this thread was good enough. I have therefore made a post on Go North East's Facebook page under the persona of "Neb Dan". Ant, I need your assistance!

Neb Dan? Even with 6 letters, I can't get the conundrum!
Cliff Hignett solved the Fatfield to Fencehouses query didn't he?

I sense "Neb Dan" may not have understood Cliff Hignett's response. I'm afraid the complexity of his English was just too much.
I am hoping Andy Clifford will have a better response, or failing that, our new friend Ant.

Oh dear, Ant's made a rather awkward spelling mistake.

Yes, she is quite buxom! Can see how poor Ant got distracted.
I'm in hysterics reading these!
Ah, yeh, NEB Dan!
Are those real?
I can't refer to what I'm talking about
Have you seen where Ant works?

Loving that Andy Clifford is 'liking' Ant's posts
