it's the same in our house every reality show gets watched. Apparntly from the geodie shore all real gordies have fake tan, royds muscles and have jobs as one lad put " full time job, smashing birds"

I watched it last week and spent the whole hour trying to work out where the house is located, I'd heard it was Whitley Bay but its not like any street in WB that I've seen.

What they should have done is stick them all in the Per Mare Guest House with rat pie for tea every monday night, I served two years hard labour in that place in the 70s, grim is not the word...

I did most of my drinking in the cherry tree in stakeford near ashington.

Don't think the Geordie shore is in WB. Think it's near the centre and the shore bit comes from being somewhere near the Tyne.

The father in law a vetran of 60+ years in the area is gonna watch tonight to try and find it!

BEen informed it is in Gateshead

Hmm, I'm thinking its not like Swalwell or Felling

Mr Field,

What would be the best breed of dog to get for a young couple living in a big 2 bed ground floor flat (with decent sized gardens) but haven't owned a dog on their own before? I've grown up with Boxers, Staffies, German Shepherds and Westies, but her indoors is from a cat family...

I was thinking Collie or a Lab? Ideally nothing that 'Yaps' all day.

I imagine [url=http://www.justdogbreeds.com/komondor.htmlthis[/url would be ideal for you Gav lad.

brilliant

I thought it was in Jesmond

All the clips Ive seen appear typical of the Bigg Market mentality

Don't get anything unless she's prepared to do her fair share of the dog work. By which I mean after the 'lil puppeh whuz so cewt n luvvable' stage. All the walking, the cleaning up of the sh-te and the , the toilet training, the drives to the vets (and the bills), the general training & food.

Quite Mclazzery_Field was that. Ish.

Rhodesian ridgeback. Best dog we ever had. Big mind they use to be used to hunt lions!

I was impressed

Don't get a Border Collie unless you've got a load of time and energy to devote to training and exercise. They're working dogs that need to be constantly stimulated and challenged otherwise they'll just get bored and destructive.

Get yourself a greyhound (particularly a rescue ex-racing greyhound). They tend to be self sufficient, equally happy either running around a field or just laid in front of the fire.

Or a beagle. They tend to need a lot of time and get bored easy!

Keeping them in fags is expensive too.

That photo has just reminded me I need a new mop.

As Mr Gilder says a border collie needs constant walking, would this be a problem to you ?

A Retriever like Jake was would be your ideal dog, calm, placcid and happy to lie around and sleep all day - there's a really nice Basset Hound thats in the Dogs Trust at the moment that looks like it doesn't care if its walked a right lot too



If all goes well this week (fingers crossed) we might be GSD owners again...

My first thought was Jesmond too, when I first moved to the N.East I stayed in Jesmond for a while among the old biddies and Habitat yuppies but moved to Whitley Bay because it was cheaper, much cheaper, like spare change cheap.

Mr Field, I have recently lost weight and now my clothes look baggy on me. I’m a bit of a cheap skate and don’t want to spend a penny on new clothes. What’s the best way to put all the weight back on so I fit into all my clothes again?

Cake.

N'uff said.

News today . The 'very bad man' pleaded guilty as charged .

Bring back hanging .

What did he plead guilty to? Hope they didn't bargin too far down?

You have this the wrong way around, what you have to do now is make the clothes fit you.

This is actually very much simpler than it sounds and used to be common practice among Victorian families at the start of the winter when children would be sewn into their flannel underclothes for six months. All you need to do is find some willing volunteers, a needle and some cotton.

Don the clothes that you wish to wear until such a time that you can find another person to unstitch you out of them, put them on and then get two other people to stand either side of you and pull on the slack in the clothing. While they are holding this the third person, the one with the needle and thread makes a series of running stitches all the way down your clothing as close to your skin as possible, indeed a much better finish will be achieved if they can actually stitch your clothing to your skin.

Your clothing will now take on the "made to measure" look, and with a pair of scissors you can cut off the excess right up to the new stitchwork to improve this image, people will now admire you as if you have bought that t-shirt at a posh bespoke boutique rather than the skip outside Matalan and you will be a bobby-dazzler and the talk of your neighbourhood, "There goes Damo in his bespoke fitted t-shirt" they will all say admiringly.

Copious quantities of eau-de-toilette (taken from a real toilet) will help minimise the inevitable stale sweat smells that will begin to emit after a couple of days and other than that there really is no downside, I recommend this most sincerely.
