What you just said there sounds wrong hahaha

When eating Jaffa Cakes I always feel compelled to make a Jaffa Cake sandwich.

I knew someone would pick that up!

I feel like that tongue emoji is more than a joke! [emoji104]

Has anyone had the Lime FOXES biscuits? I always pull them apart and take the cream part out.

No, but have you ever had one of those really thin Dairy Milk bars where there are three sections, with two patterns on the two on the ends and the Cadbury's logo in the middle? I always cut out the Cadbury's logo with my teeth!

Aye I like them.  Not a fan of chocolate as such though, but I always get those 3 for £1 sweets from ASDA. Love them!

Wow, loads of posts in here tonight!

* No, the incident in Shiney Row was not connected to FPF campaigns.

* I was in Tesco yesterday shopping and I am gutted to have missed that custard cream spread. I did treat myself to Foxes Mint Choc Chip Creams though.

* Haven't been to The Smiths Arms for years. It is a bit of a hidden gem.
The people who had it recently (no idea if they still do), had The Floaters Mill and Copt Hill. They sold The Floaters and as far as I am aware, kept the other two. They had a catering firm too.

* My 'quirky eating habit', is nibbling each crinkle, of a crinkle crisp, at a time.

Just been hovering around on my Instagram (as you do at twenty to one in the morning on a Sunday!). In the trending bit there's a few people reposting about this user called @justagirlwitharazor who is planning to kill herself. While I fully understand self-harm is taboo topic in some ways, I checked out her profile and I was just absolutely disgusted at what I've seen....

Mods feel free to remove if inappropriate.

Just had a look at that girls instagram feed Marcus and that freaks me out...She is really fucked up, that could be one very public cry for help or she os just one big attention seeker. My problems are well known and I made suicide attempts known to people, 1 was done in the most public way possible, I e-mailed Alan Robson at Metro Radio, as I have had a personal friendship with him since I was 16, I emailed him and within minutes Seahams finest swooped on my doorstep with the paramedics, that was the last time I overdosed Intentionally.

A comment on one of Pictures suggests that it is a Factory which is on Fire, I doubt Deptford Depot would be affected unless the Fire is actually in the Deptford area, in which case I would think the Area would be sealed off.

The Coles Crane factory (as was)?

Heart TV is playing Christmas songs! Too soon.

I don't understand how people can be festive two months before Christmas, I'm often fed up of it by mid November, I haven't even started shopping yet so I better make a start tomorrow!

Also just seen the Amarillo music video on another music channel and noticed they edited Jimmy Saville out of the video.

I don't either - normally I'm sick of my life 5 days before Christmas because the suspense is so taunting!

As you get older the suspense of Christmas fades.

For me, that suspense was replaced by a general feeling of apathy. 

Any more news on the fire in Sunderland?

Can't seem to find any updates?

It is all over twitter.
Photos and eye witness reports.

Wonder who is putting the fire out, as apparently the FBU haven't instructed their members back to work?

Didn't think about that.....you'd think they might have reserves of some sort?

Usually scabs and the army isn't it? Nowhere near the normal capacity, and you'd know it was the army, as they have their own fire engines.

Where's the nearest military base to the fire?

Nee idea! Apparently it's just emergency teams. Has it been declared a major incident yet, as that would get the crews back to work?

P.s. moving this out of the GNE thread into somewhere more appropriate.

During the last big strike, TA and Army Cadet sites were used.
Catterick, Albemarle and Boulmer are too far.

12 appliances there, so presumably non union members or those not striking are in attendance.

At a guess i'd say it would be Catterick Garrison.

I just hope nobody was injured!

Theres a Barracks in Newcastle...Fenham Barracks I think...

Usually the Army deal with fires during fireman strikes, who remembers this badboy


The Green Goddess, couldnt go much quicker than 50mph and stunk, I remember a fleet of them trawling through Murton in 2002 and the exhaust fumes lingered for ages
