Lovely overnight stay in newcastle. I had decided to have a couple of pints in the centurion bar next to the station myself, as the wife went to bed early cos she wasn't feeling to great (too much wine). I got back to the hotel, went in the lift, pressed the button it close the doors, let off a silent but ale infused fart, and suddenly heard a female voice behind me loudly proclaiming "Jeesus man, ah'm no gan in there, that's out ah order man!!", I turned round to be met be a scowling waitress who had a tray of food and drink, obviously destined for room service. My offer of an apology was met with a stunned silence.

That's Geordie for "take me from behind big boy". You're in there Philpy. Sounds like the wife will be sleeping it off for a bit...

The Copthorne is just down from it at the Quayside. I was supposed to be working but it was like a holiday. Great place for a few days.

I looked at the copthorne, but this place was cheaper. I'm a fifer mind...

I'm not a fan of Newcastle anymore, when I was in my early 20's I used to go there reasonably often but 20 odd years later a night out in Newcastle is pretty much my idea of hell. Gangs of screeching pished burds and young daft laddies trying to look tough isn't my scene. Its a 'no' from the Rootmeister.

I genuinely don't think there is a hotter woman on telly than Rachel Riley from Countdown.

I'm assuming you don't watch anything other than countdown?

She's the kind of woman who you wouldn't give a second look walking down the street, yet gets bigged up as she's on the telly.

Of course she gets bigged up as she looks pwopa sex-kittenish on the box, wot wiv pwopa make-up and figure-hugging dresses.

I'll grant you if you saw her walking down the street in a Superdry hoodie, sweats and and a pair of scruffy Converse, you probably wouldn't give her a second look.

Naturally, I would as I am able to see through the outer layer to the real person underneath.

Heh, heh......... 8):lol:

Made a call to BT customer support this morning and got somebody with an Indian accent. The conversation which ensued was like a 90yo who'd lost his hearing aid phoning them up as I was asking them to repeat every second sentence about three times, turning what should have been a 1min quick question into almost an embarrassing >5min struggle.

Does anybody else here really, really struggle with picking out words from what I consider to be a rapid-fire accent? I also had the same with a colleague from my previous job who I ended up agreeing with everything / laughing with him and then being in the shite when I realised that it was obviously a question requiring an answer. I thought I was finally 'getting my ear in' though but obviously not.

This isn't me wanting a whinge about customer support being outsourced to places such as India etc btw. I'm imagining it's entirely my fault for being unable to understand somebody speaking perfectly fine English (without any dialect).

Depends where you socialise. I was hanging about obscure non league football games. The hen parties tend not to be so prevalent. A time and a place though.
