Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted November 27, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 27, 2016 Newcastle's lights are being turned on by "one lucky member of the crowd". What a disappointment! Is it? This thread had me searching but I couldn't find out who it was. I know the mayor will be on stage with some pop idol esque rags. Â One lucky member of the crowd eh? Well I hope it rains and short circuits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
METAL ON METAL Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 We get the absolute shittest people. We have a combo of some actress off Eastenders who shagged the ginger and someone with a beard from The Voice. Usually we have whatever manager has at the time, like Steve Bruce or Gus Poyet. But Moyes doesnt exactly have the face that screams Christmas spirit. He'd probably suck the juice out of the electricity of one of our many Pound Shops. Yet they had Kevin Ball turning on the 'lights' (pretty sure they were just nicked from B&M) for Pallion of all places! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamp Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 We've got Pauline Quirke and her son Charlie. They are doing the local panto though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCW Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 There was supposed to be a concert with a few local bands from 5pm, and then the light turn on at 7pm on the main shopping street here in Dublin. Too many people turned up though cos the weather was unseasonably decent, so fearing a crush, the council just stuck the lights on at 6:48pm, set off some fake snow and told everyone go home.

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted December 1, 2016 Author Paid Members Share Posted December 1, 2016 That's barely worth posting to be honest mate. If it had been a big name like Richard Simmons or Dave Benson-Phillips then we might have cared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.E Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Crewe one ended up being "OK". A decent turn out for what normally is one of those "Oh was that last night?" type deals. Plus we had some sort of Christmas Market set up, and of the shops left in the town center, they stayed open late as well, so had a good atmosphere. Event had fireworks once the lights went on, so was alright. Â Plus I managed to get a Bratwurst of the market, so I was happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted December 2, 2016 Author Paid Members Share Posted December 2, 2016 I think I've mentioned this before, but undoubtedly the proudest moment of my life was posting a friend a giant A1 poster of the Chuckle Brothers faces with absolutely no indication of who sent it.

Guest Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Â When If they die, the switching on of the lights in heaven will be a 6 hour to me-to you routine. They've been falsely accused of carking it so many times I think they're now immortal under double jeopardy laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I hope that when they're on death's door, they legally change their names to Barrington Chuckle and the Japanese name that were in the hoax.

cobra_gordo Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Being from Rotherham you can't move without tripping over one of the Chuckle Brothers round here. They appeared at my school in around 1990 and posed for pictures with all the kids wearing jumpers made of what felt like wire wool. Barry used to pick his prescription meds up from the Boots in town when my mum worked there and was generally in a rush and a bit of a twat. My mate helped Paul carry a large box when he worked in Wickes and was given a death stare when he inadvertently said "to me" to him. Another mate went camping with Paul and allegedly he gets the face on if he's woken up before 10am. Â Gus, your avatar is a thing of beauty fella.
