Off Topic Great North run

should be called the great newcastle run
stick it up your hoop

 

****ers have imprisoned my car I didn’t realise they were fencing the streets off 2 days before.

****e.

 

I enjoy it. It's a nice tradition that we have and gives plenty of local people the chance to compete in a televised live sporting event. It usually raises a **** load of dosh for local charities, too.

 

Don't care just been on radio
Tyne Bridge Newcastle Tyne Bridge gateshead Tyne Bridge etc

 

Just turn the TV off that day then you miserable sod.

I doubt anybody gives a ****e about the race name. They probably should call it the Newcastle Run because of the new route, not even sure what the issue would be with that tbh.

 

Is that not logical given that’s where the route goes?

They weren’t likely to mention Seaburn and Roker on it.

 

Any idea why they've changed the route this year?

 

boo hoo

 

You started building your boozer, yet?

 

But the best part of any race is the finish - and it’s at Bonny Shields!

 

Apologies. I forgot it has been changed.

 

Think they are blaming COVID and to keep crowds down to minimum areas

 

Oh aye, just googled it.
Not permanent though apparently.
Hopefully.

Can't wait to get up in a couple of months, Coleman's fish n chips first day and a curry in Ocean road the second

 

Prefer the red hut myself

 

Went to shìt after the council moved them off the beach.
Didn't it get a new owner a few years back ?

Fookin council, it was a good chippy not like that tale of the whale spunk frozen shìte.

 

Have to get to Coleman’s on every visit home, and a couple of trips to Ocean Road. Indian food has got better in North Carolina but not up to Shields standards.

 

Think it’s down to the length of time with the staggered start (what I’ve heard from my running club anyhow)

I’ll still be there in my running club colours (purple and green) keep an eye out for me Number 14047) with my name Marc on the back of my running vest

 

Don’t know about the new owner and think I’ve only been once to the whale place, never again

 

I read yesterday it was because of covid and to keep it in a more condensed area ffs.
Well it's pretty condensed in Newcastle, they're thick as whale spunk

 

Didn't see your post before my last one
