Possibly just young! Or young at heart at least. :emoticon-0102-bigsm Many of the 'young entrepreneurial types' you talk about are the most boring people I ever met. Self obsessed, with no interest in anything other than themselves and what will make them money, generally no sense of social...

Excellent thread. I have lived in London and Birmingham and many other places and IMO there is nowhere that matches by birthplace, the North East. Hated Birmingham, too far from the sea and unfriendly people, and London is not only unfriendly, dirty, crowded, noisy and takes forever to get...

I don't post on here very much any more but quite often pop in for a read. Love stats like this and really appreciate the effort that went into it. Cheers!

Wishing you all a great Christmas and a Happy New Year. Hope your other half's health improves in 2013 Joe, and that you and your lad (and Mrs Teeside of course) continue to cherish those new babies. I recently found out I am to be a grandma in June, so have all that excitement to look forward to!

Hah! Remember some of us live on the 'dark side' too!! You little tinker!:wink:

You are of course right Cestria. My stories and those of others above can be balanced with many positive stories too. I know that the NHS provides world class medical care and we are indeed very lucky to have it. But it is so frustrating when it seems that the basics are harder to manage than...

Joe and everyone who has responded. It is clear that the NHS is a marvel at times and a frustrating mess at others. I too have witnessed the 'care' where ward staff don't ensure an elderly disabled lady can get to the toilet, or reach her drink, or help her eat when she can't use a fork due to...

Good taste! I also thought 'The Dark Knight Rises' was awesome. The second one 'The Dark Knight', while still very good, was not as good as the first one 'Batman Begins', or the latest one, which I thought was the best. Love Christian Bale in the role and was really sad to find he is not making...

I agree. If they do they will find it clearly states (my emphasis): 153. Consistent with Lord Justice Taylor’s findings, the Panel found no evidence among the vast number of disclosed documents and many hours of video material to verify the serious allegations of exceptional levels of...

I agree. One of my all time favourite films.

To be fair Billy the BBC and ITN reported information put out by a reputable news agency in Sheffield. They were not to know that they had been 'leaned on' and misled by the local police chief and other people in authority at that time. As Jack Straw said today the Thatcher government made S...

Another SAFC supporter echoing the words of Cest and all others above. Any football fan who saw the events unfold on that terrible day at Hillsborough, is aware that it could have happened to any of us. Now we know the truth is even more awful than anyone imagined. I was in tears reading the...

Well done Andy, and commiserations to Novak too, for giving us an immense, classic match. Neither of them had anything left at the end of almost 5 hours of extremely high quality tennis. It really was such a fitting end to the most fabulous summer of sport I can ever remember. I know this has...

Thanks!

What about the MK Dons cup game on 25th September?
