Bloke walks into a bar in Sunderland and orders a pint. All the Mackems sitting around the bar look up from their beer and the place goes deathly quiet. The barman says, "You're not from around here, are ya marra" The bloke says, "No, I'm from London ." The barman says, "What do you do in London ?" The fella says, "I'm a taxidermist." The barman says, "A taxidermist? What's a taxidermist? Do you drive a taxi?" "No," says the bloke "I don't drive a taxi, I mount animals." The barman grins and hollers, "It's okay lads. He's one of us."
Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, an Intelligent Sunderland supporter and an old drunk are walking down the street together when simultaneously they each spot a fifty quid note. Who gets it? The old drunk, of course - the other 3 are mythical creatures.
If you believe a select few of them on the SAFC board I'm a cross dressing, Billy provoking three headed dragon from the moon who was responsible from everything from the dinosaur strike to Lord Lucan disappearing. I'm hiding behind the sofa right now in case the FBI come and arrest my arse for the JFK hit cos they've had a call from SR1. The oddest thing is they are ripping each other to pieces over there. Even a newbie who started posting was called a Mag as soon as he started joining in.
I was taken to a few SAFC games by my Mackem dad when I was 7 and 8 fella. They are quite correct there. He even took a photo once of me holding a strange silky type Mackem scarf.
So you were very young, so what. I know of people who were Newcastle fans during the Keegan days until Sunderland moved to the Stadium of Light and they had the chance to go to games.
