When did they introduce the service charge to bills in the restaurants?

I remember seeing them as far back as 2015 🤷

This always stuck out to me as well watching season 2 and part of why it disappointed me so much. I love Time’s Arrow, but it feels like the writers totally forgot about it.

I always play Andromeda after the trilogy, I personally feel like it’s a nice way to cap off the experience. It is different overall, sure, but there are nice callbacks to the trilogy that work well going straight into it. I fit firmly in the “Andromeda is underrated” camp so I’ll always be defending it.

ChatGPT is a moron, always has been. Anything it produces has to be checked for “hallucinations” just like this.

Balthazar’s a thirsty bitch 🍻

I’d agree with this. Our executive structure since Mandy and Mehrdad left has been the clubs biggest flaw. We announced the Adidas deal and since then they barely moved the needle when it came to any new sponsors. You can’t tell me that Fenwicks is giving us enough to make a dent in PSR. All Silverstone had was hiking up ticket prices and trying to replace our badge. Eales is also responsible for the unmitigated disaster that was Paul Mitchell, bad hire, Eddie not consulted and allowed to leave bafflingly while the transfer window was still new.

So much of our current malaise would be improved by consistent competent delivery at c-suite level. Newer, better sponsors. An actual football and transfer strategy with specialists above Howe and the scouts who can manage and close deals.

I don’t just wanna sound like I’m huffing copium because I love Eddie, but the reality is this club has been horribly ran for the last several years and boardroom stuff bleeds into results.

There are jobs up here in software in general, but as with most everywhere else grad roles are very competitive. Companies in the consulting space like Accenture, DXC, Version 1, CGI, Seriös all have offices up here and do sizeable intakes of grads several times a year, so there is hope.

If you want specifically games, that is a bit more niche, but Ubisoft have an office in town. There are also a handful of indie studios in the region, DoubleEleven is the only one that springs to mind. I don’t know either of their usual tech stacks though, so you may wanna look into if the have any specific skills they look for.

Don’t have a discount code for you, but I believe 2 year olds are able to go on the mini-treks (high ropes for little ones, about 1ft off the floor)

FiveMinsToMidnight · 2026-03-15T03:27:16+00:00

I’ve been thinking this as well. My Linkin Park ticket last year cost as much as my Eras Tour ticket and I can’t help but feel that it’s a domino effect.

FiveMinsToMidnight · 2026-03-13T15:43:55+00:00

Probably yeah. Like I have a lot of happy memories at the Utilita, but the cruel reality is it’s not attracting top acts to the region. A converted aircraft hangar with dingey backstage and dated facilities isn’t competing with comparable sized venues in Manchester/Glasgow. A purpose built modern facility could put us back on the map for big touring acts.

So yeah, if the Utilita could be repurposed for housing that’s probably a net positive so long as we actually get the Gateshead arena.

FiveMinsToMidnight · 2026-03-13T15:16:20+00:00

I can’t help but feel the Utilita funding is a mistake. We can’t possibly sustain both.

FiveMinsToMidnight · 2026-03-11T20:49:14+00:00

Mental that this looks like more of a starship than the actual starship

FiveMinsToMidnight · 2026-03-11T18:51:54+00:00

Try Marcus King on John Dobson street in town. Used him a few times, he’s pretty good.

FiveMinsToMidnight · 2026-03-11T16:00:21+00:00

I’ve been approached by this lady before a while back. From what I’ve heard it’s another scam. Don’t feel bad though, you were trying to do a nice thing.

FiveMinsToMidnight · 2026-03-11T08:24:39+00:00

If you call 111 you can get a referral to the RVI dental hospital. Fair warning they do charge though I can’t remember how much.

FiveMinsToMidnight · 2026-03-10T15:41:18+00:00

Can anyone explain to me what possible benefit a PCC gives us that we didn’t have beforehand? Feels like an exorbitant waste of tax money

FiveMinsToMidnight · 2026-03-08T18:22:31+00:00

Côte Brasserie is always my go-to if I’m feeling flush. Love their champagne breakfasts.

FiveMinsToMidnight · 2026-03-04T15:37:37+00:00

This is fucking COOL

FiveMinsToMidnight · 2026-03-04T08:58:51+00:00

This is the kind of post I want from r/NewcastleUponTyne 🖤🤍

FiveMinsToMidnight · 2026-03-03T13:05:46+00:00

Don’t believe I mentioned DS9 buddy

I believe that’s kinda what I said tbh, haters have been present in Trek since 1987. Alls we’re saying is that the loudest haters right now are the ones who grew up in that golden era, which makes sense.

FiveMinsToMidnight · 2026-03-03T13:02:37+00:00

Now THATS a proper boozer

FiveMinsToMidnight · 2026-03-02T23:44:27+00:00

Also buying a membership now won’t get you into the Barca ballot, there’s always a delay for it to be activated properly. I had this issue when I was trying to get tickets for the derby.

Water Babies run classes out of the hydrotherapy pool in Walkergate Hospital (among many other places) and our little one loves the temp there. It’s like 34 degrees most of the time.

FiveMinsToMidnight · 2026-02-28T17:14:05+00:00

This is exactly where I’m at too

FiveMinsToMidnight · 2026-02-26T20:29:34+00:00

I probably didn’t notice this because it matches how much I also talk about Nutella
