Cheers everyone, I've got a long wait anyway for the results... Yep, I went for Lancaster, Durham has football and it is a nice place, but it's too much like Jersey for me, I already go to a school where most of the other people are posh and I'm not sure if I can handle it for 4 more years! At least I'll be able to see a few matches, maybe if Lancaster get into the premiership... (not even sure if they've got a team!)
I watched the England match down the Foresters Arms in Ryhope, and when the France v Sweden score come up at the end of the game one of my marras asked if I new who had scored for Sweden. When I replied that 'Sourpork' scored the first, my mate said that he had never heard of him. Then I said that I thought everyone had heard of Sweden's Sourpork....
One Sunday afternoon, Bob appears at Accident & Emergency. "****'s sake, Doctor," he says, "I've just discovered I've got three balls." The doctor asks him to undress, then examines him. He finds nothing unusual, so he calls in the shift nurse to get a second opinion, but her careful and thorough examination also draws a blank. They call in another nurse for a third opinion - with the same result. "You seem to be perfectly normal," says the doctor. "Two testicles like any other man. Why on earth are you here?" "Well, Doctor," says Bob, "I was sitting at home and the TV was boring, the local cinema is being renovated and I couldn't play golf because it was raining. So I thought I'd just drop by the hospital and get my bollocks fondled."
A MULTIMILLION pound “gateway” to increase links to the Vaux site is planned for Sunderland city centre. The proposals announced by the council will see major changes to the road network around the site and the creation of a new public space. Costing an estimated £13.4million, the plan will see the transformation of St Mary’s Way into an “attractive” boulevard and the establishment of a traffic-free area known as Magistrate’s Square. The council says the area currently gives an “unwelcoming and uninspiring image” of the city and acts as a barrier to pedestrians. They hope that if the plan goes ahead it will help realise its vision for the Vaux site. When completed, Magistrate’s Square – at the top of High Street West, outside the Corner Flag pub – will be able to host markets, concerts, displays, festivals and big screen events. Improving traffic flow on St Mary’s Way will also help connect the Port of Sunderland with major routes in and out of the region, including the new bridge, which could increase the chances of new contracts in the future. The proposals, due to be considered at a meeting tomorrow, also include the idea of a “super crossing” which will allow large numbers of pedestrians and cyclists to cross the new boulevard, giving direct access to the Vaux site. It is believed that developers would be more likely to invest in the site after this work is completed because they would not manage to achieve a return on investment if they undertook work on St Mary’s Way themselves. The proposed timescale will see the roadworks begin next April and completed by March 2014. Work on Magistrates’ Square will begin in April 2014 and be finished by November 2014. Sunderland City Council acquired the Vaux site in 2011, with substantial funding from the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA). Since then, work has taken place in a bid to improve the site’s appearance in the short term. This includes creating a grassed open space and temporary car park. Leader of Sunderland City Council, Councillor Paul Watson, said: “As we detailed in our Economic Masterplan, for Sunderland city centre to be prosperous it needs more people living and working in it, spending their time and money in its shops and restaurants. “The Vaux site is the ideal place for a central business district and the remodelling of St Mary’s Way is important in achieving this. “It will prepare the site for future development, simplify traffic flow and improve the connection between Vaux, the city centre and the rest of Sunderland. “It will also accommodate any extra traffic that arises from the Vaux redevelopment.
'99 wasn't it? Bastard Swallow Hotels to blame. ****s. Was in the Brewery Tap when the lads done their last shift. Made my heart heave watching grown men cry.
