    I couldn't agree more mate, seriously, but we're all ultimately responsible for our own welfare.

    I just tire of people constantly blaming everyone else when something goes wrong.

    It's like the Eton schoolboy eaten alive by a polar bear because he camped in an area populated by hungry polar bears ...

    ... there's no good reason to be there so don't go ffs.

    Reminds me of the Billy Connolly line about his hatred for going in the sea

    "It's got things that bite us, things that nip us, things that sting us. We don't ****ing belong there" <laugh>

    That is exactly what I said to our lass when I saw it on the news yesterday, I don’t think if I knew I could die by eating something I don’t think I would be buying any food anywhere I hadn’t prepared myself.

    Haven’t seen the story , but would the same public blame be made if he’d gone round his best mates house and eaten something his best mates mam made

    Seen this on Facebook, and thought it interesting.

    Just watching Celebrity Mastermind on BBC1 ...

    ... it's my regular ego boost, try it.

    I almost always beat them on General Knowledge, occasionally on their specialised subjects ...

    ... f**k you Celebrities <party>

    That was a great night. We were a much better side back then. Strikers scoring goals…

    Lowered my self to watch match of the day for the first time this seaon. Knowing Aston Villa are doing well I thought good for them, someone different. Then I see their number 24, Duran get a tap on the bottom of his foot to get a penalty, rolling around the floor as though he was holding his own foot in place because its been snapped from the bone and I thought, f**k that. Back to watching Slow Horses

    We weren't too bad four months ago beating Southampton 5-0 with no strikers.

    That was a cracking win and a good day. Southampton have went on a great run since that fixture too.

    Yes you're right and perhaps I was wrong about their manager.

    It's hard to tell, as Southampton should go back up, and he may be another 'Kompany' who isn't capable in the PL.

    Who knows.

    One of the lads at work is retiring tomorrow at 67 years old. Newcastle daft, a long time season ticket holder (I work in Elswick), but a good lad. Worked here 20 years.
    As is the norm when someone leaves, they get a cake. I go to asda and design the cake on the in-store terminal and upload a photo. This is then printed out and stuck on the cake.
    My line manager sent me the pic to put on the cake, a younger version of the lad who's leaving.
    I've edited the photo a bit, I think it will go down well.
    (Face masked just to post on here)
