Mundane pictures of the North

Centurion?

Marvelous place

I normally stand by the bar, far left by the bandits.

The only pub I've been in Newcastle is the station bar. Forget its name, but decent boozer.

Centurion?

 

[Firky]

Damn you neon!

 

[neonwilderness]

My work nights out usually start there

Maybe we need a pubs of the north thread too?

Firky's inviting pubs thread was mainly northern pubs

I always get cadged for a fag in the outside bit

One time a knight of the road asked if he could have a sup of my pint.

Morecambe today. So windy that Kite festival appears to have been cancelled.

Last time we were outside one of my colleagues (mid-30s) was propositioned by a woman who might have been old enough to be his grandmother

Here are a couple of behind Piccadilly Station. Very mundane loading area underneath the station, but admittedly they've done a nice paint job on the original columns.

And some random drabness round my way.

I went to the north once and walked up to the highest bit I could find to see the view.

The view was RUBBISH. I went back down the hill to look for dogs in pubs and I found one



a whippetish no less

[farmerbarleymow]

Is it BLackburn?

 

[Callie]

no this is fun! guess the north!

 

[tangerinedream]

Is it BLackburn?

Apparantly there isn't a Howells soliciters in Blackburn so it's not there...

 

[tangerinedream]

There is one in Sheffield though!

 

[tangerinedream]

guess the north!

As the fall nearly sung...

 

[Dillinger4]

guess ah the north ah

 

[tangerinedream]

guess ah the north ah

I think this would be another great thread about the north if ever we run out of mundanity. However, I think that is unlikely...

Sadly it is round the corner from my flat. I live in a very mundane area.

not with pictures like this

Had a look on google earth and I think it has to be Sheffield - there is that weird round thing next to the sols and a concrete boxy building right behind. The tower seems not to exist as far as google are concerned though.

Sols postcode S3 8NL.

Do I win a prize?

oh well thats the end of the fun then

that hill was weird, as if there used to be something there but they zapped it away and never did anything with the left over space? if anyone knows what was wrong with the hill id be interested to hear about it. I think it was the Burngreave area?

In a country pub with pretentions and London prices on Peroni

 

[Callie]

in the north you are closer to the sky and that makes the sky ANGRY
