JOE Friday pub quiz 481I got 19 of 25 right'' As usual, the music round did for me.:angry:

Many years ago one of the local papers did an article about where our Fans, those who regularly attended Games, came from. I can not remember the details but I was surprised at the conclusion which claimed that a high fraction came from outside of The Town. Mostly from County Durham, some from...

SAFC were incredibly lucky to find land available, near the City Centre, when looking to replace our old home. But first consideration was an 'out of town location', and in the absence of any alternative, this would seem the only option for NUFC. As to where, I have no idea. I don't know the...

I hope it doesn't sound patronising, when I say , very well put. What we have is the 'downside of Sportswashing'. Were the owners to try to go ahead, agaist the wishes of a majority of the local population and pressure groups, imagine how this would look. BIG, Rich Saudi Arabia tries to beat...

When they say HAVE, it's a bit misleading. N/C Airport is situated in Woolsington. N/C Airport is 49% owned by a private company, and 51% owned by seven Local authorities, one of which is N/C. Three of these Local Authorities provide None-Executive Drectors, South Tyneside, N/C and Sunderland...

So, IF I understand your point, you are looking for a Politician to take on, and beat, The Sir Humphrey Apppleby Brigade? The examples you quote, The Military Procurement, is so apt that it is a Comedy Series on ot its own. It would be interesting to find when the last large Contract to come...
