Urban v's the Commentariat

[Ronnie Rubashov]

It's a veritable smog-fest. Ye'll be meeting for pies and buckfast before this night is done.

It's a parmo with a bottle of Bucky...pies demand cider or a bottle of Thunderbird...cuts through the umami. You're a fuckin peasant.

You need to demand your own sub-forum

Threads like 'how shit is the north?' and 'photos of how shit the north is' would make it the best forum on here. Did they even get started in there?

We do indeed

Smogmonsters of the Boro unite! You have nothing to lose but your place in the midlands forum!

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

I had a parmo once

I learnt about Parmos on urban, one day I'm visiting Middlesbrough just to try one.

I'm sure you can get one from a local deli

Exactly! We're left to poke fun ourselves about where we live and our social conditions!

You can buy them only in Boro, Stockton and Billingham. Maybe Hatlepool?

Or online: http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/asda...y_meals/jeff_the_chef_chicken_parmo_450g.html

 

[Fez909]

Oh, Casually Red knows boro aswell. Dunno if he knows Eston though. The Black Hand perhaps does aswell. There can't be more than ten people on here though. It's not better than Newcastle though. Especially if you're a tourist!

It certainly isn't better than Newcastle.

But there's more than 10 people I reckon. You've missed out farmerbarleymow, leftistangel and lemontop! and I maybe think tommers has some relationship to Teesside?

Yeah, watch that. Get one with real chicken in. There's a kinda ersatz version made with reconstituted chicken matter. If you want something edible, go with the former. If it's the authentic experience you're after, go for the second after 8 pints of Stella and get someone to smack you in the mouth while you're in the queue.

Right, now I'm beginning to doubt you. A true parmo doesn't contain chicken!

Where the people who think they're too posh for boro go to live!

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

yes but they took their parmos with them. of course the people who really are too posh for Boro live in Wynyard

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Parmos...violence. Welcome to Stockton High Street.

 

[killer b]

i had a parmo in washington, it's not just teeside these days. it was ok. good concept, execution a bit shit, but it was a takeaway - what else can you expect?

 

[Fez909]

Yep, or Stokesley or Yarm.

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

Yep, or Stokesley or Yarm.

Yarm is quite nice I would live there if I had to live in Cleveland

you should go to tipton, then you'd see how good you got it.

 

[Ronnie Rubashov]

Au contraire. You can get em in Newboulds butchers and some place in Ormesby..and the chicken's actual chicken. Mind you that was about 5 years back.

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

tipton boilers, a quality football team

 

[Belushi]

What's their speciality dish? You're going to have to come up with something pretty impressive to beat a Parmo.

Well, that's news to me. Can't beat a Teesside parmo though. You could go to the World Parmo Championships and taste the finest parmos man has to offer!

i realise I'm about 8 hours and 10 pages behind everyone else but why do people go on about bernard manning being a great joke teller? what timing! he told the same fucking jokes night after night for forty fucking years of course he's going to be half decent at it!

 

[discokermit]

Yep, or Stokesley or Yarm.

i knew a woman from yarm. when asked where she was from she just made this weird noise, like a mewling cat. nobody could figure out she was saying 'yarm', it had to be translated for us. she was well weird.

People from Teesside are weird, that's why. When I was nearly old enough to drink, me and my mates thought Yarm was the height of sophistication, so we bought suits and used to try to get in pubs on the High Street Even went clubbing in a suit in Yarm. (there aren't enough facepalms).
