hiya,
Never mind Larry being up Belford way Dennis, what were you doing up
this way I expect your passport was in order.
thanks harry, long retired.

Good question Harry, You don’t think he is spying on us do you ? No Im sure he wouldn’t do that, Unless he is looking around the TOON To see the location of the Labour Club where we hold our getogether , Perhaps he fancies a sample of our fine S/Ms, Regards Larry.

I would be delighted to join you Lads at the Labour club but it’s just a “bridge too far” unless I can persuade the “Boss” to attack the Metro centre for some late Xmas shopping plus an overnight stay :frowning: Miracles can,and do, happen,who knows I may even stagger out the club “rat arsed” with my Poke in tact having never had to put my hand in my pocket,Aye ! and “Pigs might” :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth: Cheers Dennis.

hiya,
Yes Larry that could be it but if he makes the scene he can have a swig from my “hippie”
and I’m sure the same applies to you mate, is there room to get his helicopter parked up
in the lane, failing that there’s always were the air ambulance lands outside the RVI and
its not ten days camel ride from there, yes Dennis the little Volvo performed well if you
can put a trailer on the back I could get through twice the work.
thanks harry, long retired.

Dennis get yourself up to the next do, Im sure everyone would welcome you, & Im sure you would enjoy the crack & the S/Ms of course, The Labour Club is the ideal venue IMO, Regards Larry.

So Denis it was your chopper I seen when driving down the A1 this week

It would have been the Angel of the North that you spotted Ange, an easy mistake I believe… :smiley:

Aye but if they removed it how would “H” navigate his way home after he had been “suitably refreshed” in the Labour Club,he needs something to welcome him back into the “senior” of the two counties and guide him home eh! Even though he is an “interloper” from Lancashire never mind however long he’s lived in the North East :frowning: :wink: Anon 1.

hiya,
Ang something you may or may not know, and I could be educating a few people here,
when the steel was made for the “rust bucket” er’ Angel of the North, it was supposed
to have been made with a large amount of copper in the “mix” and within a reasonable
time should have turned green as a copper or bronze statue would do when exposed to
the elements, that was the statement made by Anthony Gormley when the “Angel” was
erected, methinks someone had a nice little weigh-in along the line.
thanks harry, long retired.

Hi Harry
I think you have hit on one of the many fiddles that surround that mess. Perhaps in a few years time when it becomes a danger and is pulled down a lot of truth will come out

Carl

I thought it was meant to have a golden hue when the sun is cast on it. Suppose the only time it has a golden hue would be from the amount dogs etc cocking there leg at its feet :smiley:

Bleeding Philistine!!! It’s magic!!! There’s less rust in the Angel than one of your BRS Bristol’s or Aec’s. Now if you are looking for overexposed and overpriced rubbish , look to the field of donkeys (both sides) that people are paying good money to watch today. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :imp: :imp: :imp: :unamused: :unamused: :unamused: :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth: Regards Kev.
