Yeah poor performance today in more ways than one. 6 points behind Salford, 5 games in hand. Northwich and Spennymoor in the mix too
RE: Whats made you happy today? - LeeCalder - 31 Jan 2015
Today has been a weird day, me and David were planning on going to York or Carlisle. We got the 28 to Gateshead before realising it would probably be best to stay in the north east. We got the X1 to Washington and then the 8 to Sunderland. Just as we got to Sunderland I got a message from my freind Victoria, she said she had to 2 spare car seats for the Southport v Gateshead game. So in the end we ended up in Southport! Gateshead won 1-0

Jason Manford on facebook, some of the posts he makes, here's one he made earlier:
Is there anything more infuriating than teaching your children to read?! I have the utmost respect for primary teachers & couldn't even think about teaching all those 'other people's kids' to read!
I love my daughter to bits but if she gets the word 'painted' wrong one more time she's going through the f***ing window!
I feel the pain!

Currently awaiting 1758 to take me to McDonalds (near-ish), hoping for a new Sapphire on the way home...

Just seen on 60 seconds that the woman who set up that fund for Alan Barnes has finally met him and he thanked her.

The 'Is Durham a shithole?' debate has made me smile today.
In my opinion, no, it isn't a shithole.

Thats like saying you wont goto Fencehouses, but you will happily come to Murton [emoji14]
RE: Whats made you happy today? - MurdnunoC - 02 Feb 2015
I don't mind Durham. The area around the bus station is a bit manky and could leave a nasty first impression, but if you venture elsewhere, then it's really quite nice.
RE: Whats made you happy today? - Jimmi - 02 Feb 2015
If you's want to see a real shithole jump on the 5/5A and look at Eldon and if you're on the 5A Jubilee Estate in Shildon is pretty rough too.

Haven't seen either of those.
Isn't Blyth highly regarded as a shithole.
RE: Whats made you happy today? - MurdnunoC - 02 Feb 2015
I think Wheatley Hill and Thornley are at the top of my list of rough places. Port Clarence isn't exactly nice either - nearly got bitten of a dog once there.

Most of that area, Murton included, is one big deprived turdhole

Done the 22, yes its rough. The 21 used to go through Wheatley Hill and it was a hole then too.
Also done the 265 through Murton.

Some places in Sunderland are quite rough, I will start with Hendon and Pennywell

You have had a lucky escape - turns left or right (depending in which direction you went in), at the bottom of Easington Lane

Not explored Sunderland.
The 22 does go through some rough holes, I much preferred the 24 route when it to Sunderland and I often used to get an ALX400 Double decker where as the 22 is solid Pulsar.

Was tempted to say something about the locals in Port Clarence, but better not.
Too the wrong slip road off the M8 once - Govan and Ibrox aren't the most scenic of places. Beat a quick uturn!

Went to Easter Road in Leith years ago to a Hibs match and that looked rough

Yup.
In late 2003 I was employed as a supervisor to a team of leaflet distributors (some of whom were pretty rough). I sometimes had to assist with leafleting and did so in Port Clarence. So here I was, traversing the streets and I came across a pack of dogs. None of them seemed participially aggressive, so I continued past them. One of the dogs strolled up to me, sniffed me, then proceeded to have a go at my kneecap in the most casual, non-aggressive manner possible. I whacked the dog across the nose with a bottle of pop and it casually strolled away.

No idea. It hasn't happened since so I presume not.

We still have a bit of slush and ice from when it snowed last week, which was quite awful when I was trying to walk to School Aycliffe for a shot of the Primo on the 17 and some of the paths were like ice skating, although it didn't help that I left the house late and then had to go the bloddy long way round because the bridge appeared to be broken. And after all that rushing it turned up late.
Think I'm in the wrong thread...
