    If the words " I " and " me " weren't part of the English language you wouldn't have anything to talk about.
    It's pathetic to claim that your life has been enriched on a football, yes " FOOTBALL " forum by people with differing opinions to your own inane, self promoting ramblings.

    I'm 'lucky' in so much as the village I was born in was bulldozed when the pits were closed.

    Those fond memories can never be erased.

    I've never been past Roker Park since it closed either, in my mind it's still there and I can walk around every inch of it.

    Born in Kirkcaldy but I left when I was 7 years old. Don't really have an affinity with the place anymore. Went back for the first time last year and it's a horrible little dump now which is a massive shame. From memory, it used to be a lovely place. Lived in Paris, Milton Keynes, York, Southampton and Oxford too.

    I guess I class York as my "home" as I've lived there the longest. Honestly don't think much to the place. It's a bit boring and unless you're a tourist it's a bit samey. Always loved the north eas though. I seem to feel more at home up there than I do here.

    I'm always quite jealous of people who were born and continue to live in the NE.

    We were shunted down to the East Midlands when I was a kid and have never really felt 'at home' since.

    Now, it would be impossible to move back and I love where I am.

    Living abroad was wonderful but it does break a few links ...... we can only live one life though mate, all you can do is live it to the full.

    Good on you. If you love where you live, live it!

    As you know, I live in Peterlee. The area I live is beautiful, just on the edge of a dene. We spend a Saturday eating fish and chips fron Verrels on Hartlepool headland when I'm not at the match. Sunday is spent mainly in the local.

    I'd love to spend a lot of my life abroad, like yourself, but my home will always be here.

    I wish I'd had the balls to do it when I was younger. <ok>

    Your obsession with Fredor has been tiresome. You got what you wanted when he left the Newcastle forum. Why so many of you wanted to persistently pursue an old man like you have done, I'll never understand.

    Nowt but a ****ing bully.

    Nothing to thank me for, I've enjoyed your time on the board and I was brought up to respect my elders.

    I really hope you do come back but I've got a horrible feeling that you won't be. It's been nice knowing you, take care mate.

    The whole banning fredor thing than following him over here hasn't made sense at all, it absolutely pathetic behavior. All it's done is disrupt this board and like 83 says bully an old man. Shame our Mods have no bollocks/desire to sort this out as it should have been nipped in the bud straight away, when mods don't have pride in the place we know it's in trouble.

    Don't like Fredor, don't care if he goes. That's based on his behavior with me over on their board. He came over, I let him/the board know where I stand and then left him be, but I have observed multipule mags come over having a pop at him then running back to their board to **** their mates tiny little cocks off.

    It's school yard **** from the usual unwashed children on the other board, just another thing to drag this place down.

    Totally agree with all of this..<ok>

    I don't mind fredor, approaching 60 now but always open to the knowledge and life experience of someone older. Intelligent man I think and interesting when he rambles..

    Don't get me wrong, our mods are good lads, just don't see the point of having mods if they don't do anything to retain harmony, god knows there enough disharmony among our own without the extra. It kills threads left right and Center. take Sammy disrupting the dad thread. What a ****ing dick. Only here because of Fredor and relegation. Over here being the thick **** and showing no respect for our board invading threads like that.

    Don't like Fredor personally, I take as I find and he was dick with me for the off. I only asked why he didn't post over here. Wasn't being a dick, it was a genuine question.
