Reality is a bitch. Instead of bucking Penelope Cruz, they are fondling Bella Embergs wabs in the dark. Newcastle Allstars play their forst home game in front of 52,000 screaming Orcs, arriving in 400 seater buses from middle earth. Rafas galacticos take to the pitch to play the mighty Huddersfield in the Champions league. With a world famous No.9 shirt and a ginger piss biscuit. After a ****ing thrashing by Fulham in their opening game, that sent the plummeting to rock bottom, they crawled back to the dizzy heights of 21st, due to Norwich showing them how one of the favourites should do it. Hopefully the Barca of the North continue last weeks sparking form. Regardless of the results. Man City v Sunderland Newcastle v Huddersfield. .
I had a little visit to the northern outpost a couple of weeks ago on one of me fair weather gallivants. I like to see how the paupers are doing. I`m just a softie I know but I get concerned for the poor dears. A sunny day, a ride on the iron horse and a natter to the local serfs was quite enjoyable. They`re coming to terms with the idea of electricity now. They`ve been told that imps and demons carrying it about is nonsense. Somebody was having them on but they already knew that really. They`ve been told it moves in currents. Not the dried fruit obviously, that would be silly, but like streams and rivers. So they`ve added 2 and 2 together and got fish. Nobody minds them swimming up and down the wires. Jobs a good `un The pre season preparations were going well. The shrine to Shee-Rah was full of gifts and offerings. Someone had donated half a pasty. Very generous considering. There were a few crumbs labelled "sossij rerl". Some sacrifices are obviously just too much. I enjoyed the little Hare Krishna type processions meandering around. I thought the black and white robes were a bit over the top but their chanting of the mantra "ya divvent undastaand" I thought was rather touching in a rustic kind of way. All in all they seem quite content. Still, I suppose it helps being a bit simple doesn`t it? Bless.
