Pubs are dying on their feet, they say. Not in the JDW close to my house, it would seem. Jumping on Saturday 5pm! Beer decent too

Yaxley-lennon accuses a grandfather playing with his grandkids of being a paedophile. Jenrick applauds the closing down of an asylum hotel that HE opened. Farage incites more riots. Still some people support these liars and Charlatans.

Top left is a bottom and right is a top. Whatever, it’s today’s retail delight. Grandson (13) is a devotee of fried egg within. Trust well? ✊

⁦@wylambrewery⁩ 25th anniversary festival and there’s a guy wearing a t-shirt with no message on it, front or back. No logo, no brewery graphics. Nuttin. At all. Big hugs, pal.

How's this for a proposal following @NUFC's historic League Cup victory? Name a previously overlooked stream in the North East, the Dan Burn.

Ffs Peter Drury, stop name checking every Newcastle player from the last 70 years. We get it, you’ve done your homework, now shut the fuck up.

Which was developed, improved and patented by my late great (3x) grandfather. A black man. A freed slave from Alabama. HE revolutionized the railroad industry !

Trivia? When I worked on the Quayside, late Eighties, a dredger went up in the morning and returned in the afternoon. The Swing Bridge would open and close to a loud hooter. We would wave, they would wave. Ellis, the 'swinger', lived beside my mother-in-law.

Even more trivia, I can remember when the swing bridge opened and closed to let commercial shipping in and out, yes I am old.
