Well that was rather good. I spent 30 years working in Middlesbrough and I know all those locations. (Most of them not in the Boro at all)
I attended Saint Mary's College and knew the brothers of Chris Rea quite well and met Chris on numerous occasions.

Is his wife a vegetarian?

OldRio · 14-12-2020 8:20am

Sorry I have no idea.

Such a weird town afair. Isn't there a load of shops or town centre under a big dual carriageway overpass? And the ICI works like a huge welcome to Middlesborough sign.

Went to Ayresome Park and Riverside a couple of times and did a bit of shop fitting in Stockton for a couple of weeks, we went out at night a few times but couldn't tell you where. Age and alcohol means recollections are very vague :pac: As a southerner they were either very friendly people, or the complete opposite, they don't do things by halves up there!

OldRio · 14-12-2020 10:10am

Haha.. Thats right, a big road over the town. Its a rough place, built on steel and petrochemical industry.

Spent many happy times in the Irish club that was near the old cathedral (both gone now) in an area nick named 'over the border' Circa early 1970s. This area was the rough area in a rough town. Not for the faint hearted.

The bongo club was another 'well known' establishment.
Ah now I've gone down a well of nostalgia. Haha

Really enjoyed that, bob really is a very nice man.
I was in Middlesbrough about 10 years ago for a football game, didn't see a lot of the place but what I did see was pretty depressing, the pub we were in was like stepping in to a time machine.
Just wanted to say that bob Mortimer has a really good podcast called athletico mince, pretty off the wall stuff but that's Bob's style, it's very good.

Athletico Mince is the best thing ever.

Bob Mortimer's new autobiography 'And Away' is superb. Well worth a read/listen

Every time the dog is on screen I just keep hearing a gruff voice saying "sausages". 😀 I blame That's Life (showing my age there)

You should watch The Detectorists if you haven't seen it. While it's a comedy/drama it has a very gentle feel to it

Yes, I’m a huge fan of The Detectorists. Very gentle and funny.

Absolutely love this series, so gentle and relaxing and brilliant chemistry between Bob and Paul. Gone to catch up again on the previous series on Dave!

Deadly. I was already in good form today, now it's even better.

26-12-2021 10:47pm

Just watching this delightful show. Paul Heaton and Jackie Abbott just sang Caravan Of Love. One of my favourite singers and song. Saw them in Cork Opera House a few years ago and the sang this at the edge of the stage while the sound system was being sorted. Magic.

Happy Christmas to you all 🎄🎁🥂🧑‍🎄

ArmaniJeanss · 27-12-2021 2:57pm

This is on BBC2NI tonight, bastards (first up against the wall when the revolution comes) didn't show it at the same time as the rest of the UK so I completely missed it on my tv guide & EPG. Sadly will only be on in SD, it's one of those few programmes which really benefit from HD.

ArmaniJeanss · 11-09-2022 1:40pm

Series 5 has started, first episode a few days ago. (I'm sure it will be repeated). Still much the same as before, a fun 30 minutes with the lads.

16-09-2022 9:28pm

I just love Ted! Star of the story, in my opinion 🤣

17-09-2022 9:44am

Superb series, find myself watching it with a big grin on my face all the way through it. The soundtrack has some great tracks which are all on playlists created on Spotify!
