At least its a good team, unlike my load of rubbish
The Simpsons are excellent, i used to think it was rubbish, then i happened to be watching it with the boy and its damn funny.
That Homer is king
Sorry you've been sick

Ah, but Homer would be nothing without Marge.
I have to say every Newcastle supporter I've ever met (and I've met quite a few) have been lovely - they have to be the world's best and friendliest supporters.
I wonder why that is.

Ah Marge, dear lovely Marge
Yep, thats us, and the reason is, is that we are not big headed people, because we have won sod all, we have nothing to shout about, we go on our own little way of life just wishing and being nice

Well we met a crowd of Newcastle supporters in Majorca in 1999 - the week after they'd been beaten by Man U in the FA cup final .... they were in the bar where I'd gone with the child (she was about 3 then) while the big lad went off to Barcelona to see the European Cup Final.
We watched the match together and they cheered for United the whole way through.... they chatted with me, and looked out for me - a woman alone with a child - and hugged and danced with us when United won in the last seconds.... It was one great night and I have brilliant memories of those guys. They were real gents - so I won't hear a bad word about Newcastle Utd or their supporters.

Thats an excellent encounter with the toon army, hey its makes me feel proud that the guys treated you so well.
I have some great friends in Newcastle, family friends and toon buddies, and i have never know one of them to be out of line, they are top blokes and lasses
Sorry you've been sick
Fizzymouse- no place like home Posted May 4, 2007
Well you should feel proud. I never saw those guys before that night nor after, and for football fans .... and football fans that had just lost the FA cup to Man U at that .... they were amazing. I can honestly say if it was over here I doubt that I can think of a local teams supporters who would have been so nice.
I noticed you dropped into the yikes thread earlier - it can get very in there, I hope you'll hang around it, you'll enjoy it.
.
I am soooooo glad it's Friday afternoon - I'm off on Monday and so need the break - work has been a nightmare recently.
How are you recovering from all your accidents then .... feeling any better.
Sorry you've been sick
Marmite Posted May 5, 2007
I know that Yikes thread looked like my kind of thread, total utter nonsense
Its saturday afternoon here now, and that damn Newcastle team lost again.....
.....
.....
Slowly getting there, at least i can play the drums one handed now
Sorry you've been sick
Fizzymouse- no place like home Posted May 5, 2007
Poor Newcastle, and poor you. Still that boy out of Def Leppard manages alright.
If it doesn't kill us it'll make us stronger .... you must be like Geoff Capes by now.
Sorry you've been sick

Well never min.
Ahh, Rick Allen is my hero, the guy and the band has balls, mind you i cant stand their american new wishy-washy commercial rock now though
I went to Spain on holiday about 1982ish, and while me and my friend were at this club, we got chatting to these German chicks and lads and told them we were from Def Leppard, me, of course being the drummer...they bought us drinks all night and took our autographs, we met them each night and were treated like gods, we arranged to meet them the folowing year in Spain again, but Mr.Allen (being me) lost his arm...that was the end of going to that resort again
Sorry you've been sick
Fizzymouse- no place like home Posted May 6, 2007
You dawg.
I can't believe you got away with that. We were in spain in 1982 to see Norn Iron in the world cup - now that was a summer.
Sorry you've been sick
Marmite Posted May 8, 2007
It was a great summer, i remember also being in the same club (living up to my rock image) and dancing, yes dancing to Two Tribes - Frankie.
They should have guessed then
Sorry you've been sick
Fizzymouse- no place like home Posted May 8, 2007
I'm sure that was worth seeing.
'82 was when I got my first passport and it was our first trip to Spain - we went on a from Victoria.
We stayed in Callela, and he went to the matches by bus/train...... Is this a pattern in our relationship - we go on holidays and he leaves me at various resorts while he skips off to watch
I can't believe it's taken me 25 years to figure that out.
Sorry you've been sick
Marmite Posted May 10, 2007
Yep sounds like it
I went to Majorca in 87, honeymoon with first wife and the FA Cup final was on during our stay, so she got the hump on the beach while i footied it big style with some Liverpool fans
I should have realised then that it wasnt going to work
Sorry you've been sick

Awk Bov, sorry I missed you - yet very typical.
I've had such a bad week at work, and been so exhausted when I eventually got sitting in this seat - I just didn't have the energy to lift the keyboard.
Even with the bank holiday what should have been a short working week feels like the longest week for years.
Sorry you've been sick
Fizzymouse- no place like home Posted May 12, 2007
Well that do sod-all weekend started with - up at 9:00 iron clothes for daughter's photo shoot. Have shower, take daughter to drama class, look for birth certificate, collect daughter from drama class, take daughter to photo shoot. Do the stuff, have lunch with sister in nice hotel, go shopping for groceries, come home at 5:00 and flake out on the settee.
So far so good, now I just have to put some washing in the machine and relax.
Sorry you've been sick
Marmite Posted May 12, 2007
Nope no taxiing, wife was tired then went to bed, boys about to nod off hopefully, daughter not feeling well so she went to bed ages ago.
That just left me and the dog, some film with Kevin Costner on in the background
What happened there, it all went pear-shaped and signed me out
