sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It's the oldest existent lifeboat in the world too, the cheeky little nowt. 000
sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I can only assume that they were larking about spinning a dwarf round before eating him. 110
sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 06/10/2026To be fair, I first read it in the 80s, and it probably wasn't that fresh then, what with trolls being involved and everything. 040
sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Or possibly just exclusion from the 'national community' when it comes to access to social security and the like. 000
sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Ethnicity isn't just about 'blood' and DNA, it's language, culture, shared traditions etc. Many people in my town in England have plenty of, probably majority, Irish ancestry a couple of generations back, but speak English and have Irish surnames and sometimes given names, but no English ancestry. 100
sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It came at a wonderful time too, as me, my girlfriend and our mate were being buttonholed by a very drunk man telling us about his job cleaning out grease traps. 020
sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Not just English clubs - the inflation caused crosses all FA jurisdiction borders. 100
sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Someone made the point that people under about 30 or so don't know who Laurel and Hardy are yet they had been amongst the most famous people in the world and I think about that too much. 2191
sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I am still optimistic that it won't (fully) come to that this time round, but ever less so. 000

sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 07/09/2026The difference between weasels, otters and stoats? One is weaselly recognised, one is otterly different and one stoatally different. 093
sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Stars fell on Stockton by the Shadows probably doesn't count for a few reasons. 010
sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 22/08/2026I would love to have seen the disappointment on my face the first time I ordered a Bass outside of Teesside and received one of those flat ones. Anyway, hope you enjoyed your pint(s)! 110
sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 22/08/2026If you can't get your nose wet then why go Bass to mouth at all. 010
sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Haha, 'let's have a real Tyneside welcome...' 010
sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Is that the one where her out off of The EastEnders did her 'Sweetness is my Weakness' track and adlibbed 'Middlesbrough...you're my Weakness'? Michelle Gayle, that's her. 100
sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Don't think they won't try and sell an apartheid UK/Europe with different levels of human rights etc. depending on blood, gene stock, proven generations of UK citizenship or something else just as degenerate. Which might be fun for those with recent Irish ancestry on the modern Right. 000
sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Last Orders in Boro was class for that, saw a white bloke with dreads do an impassioned No Woman, No Cry. 010
sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 17/08/2026One of a handful of songs I have ever 'performed' on a band box. 111
sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Is the site for ordering socks separate from the one for ordering hats? I seem to be having trouble getting things for each but into the same basket...ta! 000
sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 15/05/2026Wasn't it something to do with marrying your cousins in church? 040
sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 15/05/2026Did he mewl? Although didn't it turn out that it's not the pure filth in American it is in British English? 010
sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 12/05/2026Now we just send our innermost thoughts to strangers in California. 031
sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Bought that for 20p in the Menzies at Coulby Newham. 010
sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 07/05/2026He should have stuck with the Boro but got in with a bad lot at Eton. 000
sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Found my set of these again this week, all unpainted. One day... 010
sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 05/05/2026I think all my plastic knights are in a couple of big plastic tubs with a load of Crossbows and Catapults stuff - I picked up a larger amount than anyone could ever need from eBay about twenty years ago. My nephew may benefit when he comes to stay this summer. 110
sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Very close to going looking for him now. I already have a box file of 80s Citadel leadies to go through I re-found last night after a recent house move and I am supposed to be working... 110
sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Coming out of the picture house after seeing the first (live action)LOTR some bloke went, 'gor, I hope them kids get to Murder alright'. 110
sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 05/05/2026The sort that has to tell you they had that bloke with the yellow lion on the green shield? Actually, he may even be in my coalhouse. 210
sw2boro.bsky.social @sw2boro.bsky.social · 04/05/2026I have only seen it in real life once, at a beerhall in Munich. A couple on our table each got it. He ate his, she just picked at hers. When they left my mate ate a few forkfuls of hers, didn't like it much. 000
