I am trying to decide whether to head up to Consett or not for the Red Kite fun day tomorrow as right now I am just not feeling like I actually want to.

Just not feeling myself at the moment so I hope get back to feeling my normal self again soon.

Last year I purchased one for the North East but I would like to do another one this time around. I'm leaning towards getting the North West one as it's valid from Hexham onwards. The only drawback being is that I have to drive (or get the bus but, more than likely, drive) to Hexham each day.

Any thoughts?

Buy 4 lots of Day Rovers and save a few quid.

£12.50 per day versus £72 for 4 days.
There are the weekend two day tickets for £20.

It means you can go from Blaydon or the Metrocentre too, rather than Hexham.

I clicked on the link in the post you made in the Northern Rail thread the other day but it seems, in that link anyway, the validity of the offer ended in March. I can't say I've noticed the Echo stocked anywhere in the Gill (although I could be wrong) so I'm unfamiliar with the T+C's of the current offer. If you (or anyone else) can post this information or provide a link or scan, I'd be much obliged. 

The offer does seem good though. My only gripe is that I'd probably be limited Northern Rail services only whereas the four-in-eight day rover permits travel on just about everything except from Grand Central and First Hull Trains.

The updated link. 

There is a ink to the newspapers offering the vouchers.
Owt you could get from work?

On a separate note, the Whitby Gazette is a JP paper. It isn't participating. Got one the other week, went through it half a dozen times looking for the voucher.

Unlimited money and bitches.

(15 May 2015, 5:59 pm)MurdnunoC wrote There's probably a cheat for that.

Try Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Left, Right, Right, B and A on any control pad you have at hand and, hey presto, unlimited money and bitches.

Works every-time, rest assured!

Was treated to watching a Pre-Match Photograph Session whilst not liaising with my Customers, this was done by Jack Rodwell and Wes Brown, After the Match Jermain Defoe came in and said a few words, thanking us for our support over the course of the season, and for welcoming him to into such a special club and summarised how it felt scoring against Newcastle in the Derby, it was great to see a player come out and say what he said as I doubt many others would follow suit, he also all but confirmed that he would be staying at SAFC if we remain in the Premier League, this lead to quite a few Defoe Chants, Kevin Ball then came on Stage and again thanked us for our support and heaped praise on Defoe for what he did.

All in all a very enjoyable and quite tiring 8 Hour Shift (11am to 7pm), baring in mind I was still recovering from a 6 Hour Shift at Durham Cricket Ground for the T20s on Friday Night, Positive thing was at the end when came to sign out and got my thing all the staff thanked me for my help, as apparently "Agency Staff" or either Lazy or are Lack Experience and Confidence, which is why the Duty Manager asked for my Contact Details so I can go back their for the 2015/16 Season in August.

Happens with me all the time, but in my case, it is understandable as I have:

1. Official Caution/Fixed Peaty Notices due to petty theft in the past*

2. My face wouldn't look out of place on Crimewatch
