Ah. I can barely describe the disappointment football brings to Newcastle United supporters. I’m sure plenty of clubs’ supporters have just as much right to moan about lack of success and desires to win more often than they do. Yet I claim Newcastle United is different.
There aren’t many cities in Britain that have just one [...]

The Resurrection?
Let’s Play
Today was a peculiar day (mind, aren’t they all?!), largely down to the BUPA Great North Run. It reminded me of my desire to raise money for charity - making myself useful. Nick jokingly said I should cycle from London to Newcastle, which I did momentarily consider.
I courted the idea with a few friends, and [...]
Him Off The Telly
These last few weeks I have been driving my friends nuts talking about my liking for the hair and the t-shirt adorned by the kid in the BT advert. I am please to inform all that read this that I have managed to acquire my own copy of that t-shirt: it happens to be on [...]
Jesmond Calling
I guess I should really mention last night…
Pretty much everyone who took Maths (and some that didn’t) descended upon the alcohol Mecca of Jesmond to partake in some alcohol consumption. Of course the primary objective of the evening was to hug everyone and promise to stay in touch, but drinking was the basis of the [...]
Buttercups And Daisies
Why would anyone want to drive to work?
The best part about getting the bus is looking out of the window and seeing the things that most drivers would not get the opportunity to appreciate. People forget that it is spring outside.
To be fair, not many drivers could miss the dawn of spring here in Cramlington: [...]
Japan Day Ten: Home James (19.04.18)
We had to get up early again to ensure we got to Narita Airport on time. The Narita Express took us direct from Shibuya to the airport in a little more than an hour. The cost of the journey cleaned me out with regard to yen, save about 30 yen, roughly equivalent to 12p. After [...]
Away Day
Well my dear readers, I shall be away to Japan tomorrow! Well… that is if you count getting the train from Newcastle to London ‘on the way to Japan’!
Part of this epic journey will be to navigate myself across London to get to Heathrow on the last tube. I realise there is an element of [...]
Unfair Cop
Well this has put me in a bad mood: in announcing the European leg of their tour, The Police neglected to visit Newcastle.
Not a mention is made that Sting has skipped his hometown, which seems peculiar but nonetheless, it seems the UK has done well with four whole dates, at London, Manchester, Cardiff and Birmingham. [...]
Happy Christmas!
We (read I) at GeoffBrady wish to wish you a very Merry Christmas! I would also like to thank my regular visitors, my fellow bloggers and all those that comment for contributing to my site.
As you can see, I have been playing around (a lot) with my site’s design in recent weeks. At the moment, [...]
Good Times Are Coming
Well this week has been a fairly good one for Newcastle United Football Club (unless you are Keiron Dyer). We won twice, against Reading and Blackburn Rovers, against which many pundits predicted defeats heading our way.
I went to the Reading game on Wednesday, and the atmosphere was just as good - if not better - [...]
