Eavesdropping 2


Number 10 bus, Sunday 14th December approximately 5.pm

One radge looking type is already sitting at the back of the bus, mid thirties, Nike air max, Addidas pants and Addidas jacket. Haggard complexion, looks like his paper round to Hexham and back went on for too long. Second radge gadge gets on next to Todd’s Nook high rise flats on the West road. He’s in his mid twenties, typical ratty expression with a slight build. Nike air max, Addidas pants and Addidas jacket. He immediately heads to the back of the bus and gives a slight nod to the older fella and they seem to be acquainted.

‘alreet wor kid’

‘aye yareet like’

‘aye whey aye’

‘are ya still on the smerrrk leek’


(loud enough so every one can hear) ‘aye well a just picked up a half ounce leek, proper good shit leek. Are ye after oot leek?’

‘daint nah but thu yello and tha get ya proper wrecked man, Dexy could anly take 8’

‘straaaaaigghttts. Al take 50 off ya then’.


‘reet wor kid cheers nowts a boffa’.

Younger radge cunt alights bus. Older gadge returns to spitting incessantly on the floor for the rest of his journey.

Boardroom Skatepark finally opens its doors!

And so the rumours are true! According to Streetphire the Boardroom Skatepark is due to open this Friday the 12th Dec. I never thought I would see the day that the doors got opened to the public with the amount of ups and downs the park has had for various reasons.



Me and Scotty T building the bowl many moons ago..

I for one am excited to just get in there and ride after not being inside the building for 2 or 3 years. The set up has remained unchanged and still has the spine mini and bowl with the vert wall and is supposed to be as fun as ever.
Its not the biggest or best park by a long shot but with temperatures dropping all the time anywhere warm and dry to ride is good right?
