I'm proud to say I'm actually going to street party! before that though, I have a 10k training run to fit in as.... next week I'll be gannin' along the Scotswood Rd in my first Blaydon race..
Hope you're going to do us all proud. Headlines on the back page of the Chronicle. 'Famous not606'er breaks record in his first Blaydon races attempt'.
It's a 150 year old song about a race along the river Tyne. It's also the proud anthem of our beloved club. The song lyrics are below for you..... Aw went to Blaydon Races, 'twas on the ninth of Joon, Eiteen hundred an' sixty-two, on a summer's efternoon; Aw tyuk the 'bus frae Balmbra's, an' she wis heavy laden, Away we went alang Collingwood Street, that's on the road to Blaydon. (chorus) Ah me lads, ye shud only seen us gannin', We pass'd the foaks upon the road just as they wor stannin'; Thor wes lots o' lads an' lasses there, all wi' smiling faces, Gawn alang the Scotswood Road, to see the Blaydon Races. We flew past Airmstrang's factory, and up to the "Robin Adair", Just gannin' doon te the railway bridge, the 'bus wheel flew off there. The lasses lost their crinolines off, an' the veils that hide their faces, An' aw got two black eyes an' a broken nose in gan te Blaydon Races. (chorus) When we gat the wheel put on away we went agyen, But them that had their noses broke they cam back ower hyem; Sum went to the Dispensary an' uthers to Doctor Gibbs, An' sum sought out the Infirmary to mend their broken ribs. (chorus) Noo when we gat to Paradise thor wes bonny gam begun; Thor was fower-an-twenty on the 'bus, man, hoo they danced an' sung; They called on me to sing a sang, aw sung them "Paddy ***an", Aw danced a jig an' swung my twig that day aw went to Blaydon. (chorus) We flew across the Chain Bridge reet into Blaydon toon, The bellman he was callin' there, they call him Jackie Broon; Aw saw him talkin' to sum cheps, an' them he was pursuadin' To gan an' see Geordy Ridley's concert in the Mechanics' Hall at Blaydon. (chorus) The rain it poor'd aw the day an' myed the groons quite muddy, Coffy Johnny had a white hat on - they war shootin' "Whe stole the cuddy." There wes spice stalls an' munkey shows an' aud wives selling ciders, An' a chep wiv a hapenny roond aboot, shootin' "Noo, me lads, for riders." (chorus) The song is now usually sung with more modern language but retaining the Tyneside dialect. For example the chorus might be sung: Oh! me lads, ye shud a' seen us gannin, Passin' the folks upon the road just as they were stannin'. Thor wis lots o' lads and lasses there, all wi' smiling faces Gannin' alang the Scotswood Rooooooooad to see the Blaydon Races.
hello Edge how are you? Thanks for the (attempted) rep but unfortunately you're not able to leave rep as you are in the 'negative' (lovely kind comment though). After long and careful consideration of your request I can confirm that I am in the position to delete precisely... 0 tags for you. Hope this helps. Enjoy the rest of your day. Kindest Regards, Albert.
Really, says the guy who spent time on GC writing offensive crap about Gary Speed's death. So after consideration I will delete a set amount if you PM which one's you want deleted.
What offends him is immaterial anyway, he doesn't belong on this board and from past experience we don't want him on. He was the worst offender we've ever had for offensive material on the main board and on the tags.
Believe he passed it onto quite a few, doesn't seem realise that 0 away from x amount, still leaves x amount.
