    Aye W

    It's a sair fecht ... (translation it's a hard life)

    Funniest thing Ive read for yonks - though I think you left just at the right time - 'Are you A Student ?' is equivocal to what you hear in bars around Hamilton 'ie Who are you Looking at ? '

    As often as not - its the prelude to a punch in the kisser .

    Great shame you didn't tell us about it....

    I'd have paid to have seen that

    I don't drink in Sunderland any more.... after an armistice day riot broke out between the navy and the army in the pub I was drinking in.

    The locals loved it though.

    So I went up there & didn't get the gig. Don't think they liked me very much -think they had trouble understanding my funny accent.

    After the interview, I went into some pub calleds the Railway Inn in Sunderland thinking it was the sort of establishment that would cater for the travelling gentleman & asked if they would do me a G&T and a plate of olives; the whole place went silent and I felt the weight of everyone's gaze upon me all of a sudden. I glanced around at the beers they had and decided on something called Vaux (which I'd never heard of before) & asked for a pint of that. Problem was I thought it was French & pronounced it "voh" instead of "vauks". More silence which was finally broken by a guy at the bar asking me if I was a student & I thought of all those cartoon strips in Viz where that question is asked which normally involve the questionee having his face pounded in. I left promptly.

    I liked South Shields - by the sea...

    Better than Roker and loads of Indian Restaurants - Ocean Road..

    £40 - £50 per night B&B.

    Yeah - and a pier, a lighthouse, a marina (a bit further down), a few amusements (a bit further up)....but you'd need to wear about 20 coats if you're a soft southerner, cause that North Sea fret has a bit of a nip in it
    Cures all hangovers though!
