Picture: Northern Echo reader Earlier a police car and two ambulances were visible at the scene. The Northern Echo has received several calls from residents nearby. One said: "I live on the corner and the street is all cordoned off. There is lots of police activity. "It all began about an hour ago." Reporter Alexa Copeland said the scene was now quiet and a single officer was stood outside a house halfway down the terraced street. She reports that two upstairs windows in the property at the centre of the investigation have been broken. The road was closed at around 12.45pm on Tuesday afternoon and the scene was expected to remain closed to the public into the night as investigations continue. Residents of neighbouring houses are being allowed through the cordon by the police. Just round the corner from me. Mental. Would it be inappropriate to go and get my mug on the news?
It would be completely inappropriate if you didn't. I dare you to go wearing something completely ridiculous, get the pink crop top out.
Never thought you would Bri, your a cool dude, just a bit of fun. Although between you and me I did once have an almond pink suit to go with my Geordie Cobblers.
What are geordie cobblers? Is it one of those things nobody outside the area gets like. Stotties or Sunday for Sammy
I think they're like them pants with the really tight ankles - **** keppers. If you fart & folly through it doesn't run into your shoes.
There's a bloke who I bump into at family or community celebrations from time to time called Rick. He always has a pair of blue flaired jeans on and a pair of patent 'croc skin' black **** flicker winkle pickers on. I have uncontrollable laughter every time. He looks like an absolute shambles.
@Brian Creampie can you do me a favour mate and find my Friday film thread please, I can't find it on my phone been trying for an hour. No worries if not I'll find it tomorrow. Or anybody else who is proficient in thread finding.
One of the first times I was arrested I asked to be let out of the cell to make my 3 minute phone call. Didnt realise my mate had been lifted as well and he's shoes were outside his cell. Size 12 black n white winkle pickers. F*cking hell they were long enough to be continued. Btw my 3 minute phone call was to ask our boy to record the boxing on the VHS video. Coppers face was a pic. I'm sure he thought I was gonna call a solicitor.
I'm in the row of houses in the yellow box. CSI were working in the back ally all night. It was lit with really bright white light and they worked in complete silence outside my back gate. eerie as ****. Half expecting them to search my back yard.
The Geordie Cobbler, was a shoe shop for the glitterati, in Silver Lane, an allyway between Northumberland St. and the Big Market. Once a trendy shopping location, still is I suppose .
