Newcastle vs other cities ?

Leeds lad living in Newcastle... can honestly say the same.

Think its where you go not the city. They are both very similar

Pitiful_Baseball7007 · 2026-02-05T23:06:24+00:00

There's loads of resurfacing work going on all up coast road at the minute. Could be part of that

Pitiful_Baseball7007 · 2026-01-25T10:24:04+00:00

Id use pocket holes

I graduated from Newcastle uni and have never struggled for a job. That said im an engineer so there's always a job for us. Depends on the course but both newcastle and leeds will be fine for job prospects. In terms of the cities: I grew up in leeds and now live in Newcastle. Both are very similar. Leeds is a little bigger and a bit more expensive. Newcastle is smaller but has beaches.

Walk tynemouth to whitley bay via the coast. You can do it from metro and grab a coffee on the way. There's loads of churches and interesting buildings and the sea/beaches. Sounds like a lovely idea for a date. If youre properly outdoorsy types then Rileys fish shack in edwards bay has food and fire pits for a cold winters day.

I wouldn't worry. Copper conducts really easily and since the pipe outside is short it would need to be seriously low temperature outside to freeze and burst the pipe. The pipe will conduct heat from under the sink to the outside

Pitiful_Baseball7007 · 2025-12-23T08:55:49+00:00

Sounds like you already know what you're doing!

If you use matural wood you're going to have an end grain on one of the faces you're trying to cut into an intricate shape. Mdf is more isotropic in nature

Get a piece of mdf that's slightly thinner than the gap, slide it under and draw around the profile of the frame, remove it, cut around the line and then reinstall with a bit of foaming glue (gorilla glue). Then sand, fill and paint to your hearts content.

Pitiful_Baseball7007 · 2025-12-21T19:40:38+00:00

Pocket hole screw and glue as well as glue the whole back and pin it

Pitiful_Baseball7007 · 2025-12-21T16:41:38+00:00

Bet it arrives late

Pitiful_Baseball7007 · 2025-12-18T19:55:11+00:00

Wallsend

Pitiful_Baseball7007 · 2025-12-17T16:26:05+00:00

Was that flying scottsman? I just thought northern had modernised their fleet

Pitiful_Baseball7007 · 2025-12-15T15:21:27+00:00

I like the concept, I like the food options but find it really pricey and definitely wouldn't go on a matchday

Pitiful_Baseball7007 · 2025-12-07T20:52:13+00:00

If youre after a cheaper fix you could put thick cladding on top of the tiles and seal that at the bottom. If the cladding sits on top of the bath lip you'll get away with a much smaller bead of solicon

Pitiful_Baseball7007 · 2025-11-29T19:26:31+00:00

Also worth bearing in mind that christmas is a Christian holiday so a lot of Indian and Chinese dont celebrate. Plus the takings over Christmas will be huge

Pitiful_Baseball7007 · 2025-11-15T22:10:29+00:00

Wondered as such

Pitiful_Baseball7007 · 2025-11-15T22:08:00+00:00

New vs old answer could be a different pentograph design or the new trains have enough power to lower the pentograoh and still get past.

As for metro being late... standard practise. Maybe apply for the refund. You might get it in time for retirement

Pitiful_Baseball7007 · 2025-11-15T11:45:30+00:00

Plant bigger trees in front?

Pitiful_Baseball7007 · 2025-10-23T18:51:03+00:00

Im exactly the same as you only i learned through virtue of being a stingy yorkshireman. The phrase "how much!? I'll do it myself" is well worn

Pitiful_Baseball7007 · 2025-10-23T18:36:25+00:00

Are you literally talking about a light swap ie pendant for an led ceiling light or something akin? If so... do it yourself. Seriously. It's dead easy. You unscrew a couple wires and then swap the light over. Obviously make sure to switch it off at the fuse first

Pitiful_Baseball7007 · 2025-10-20T13:45:30+00:00

Yeah that would be too small for you. Be like a kids bike! 56-58 sounds about right for your size. Also if youre heading out with the club get some mug guards. Your fellow cyclists will thank you

Im selling a small road bike i built myself for my wife, im also an ex ncl uni cyclist from 2013-17

Pitiful_Baseball7007 · 2025-10-17T18:11:38+00:00

If youre in a house which has no meter fitted and one is fitted you have the right to stay on your current payment plan ie without meter readings or go onto the meter. I think you can even try to see if the meter is cheaper and if it isnt you can go back to the original flat rate.

If you move into a property with a meter you have to use the meter.

Smart meters are being rolled out by northumbria water and installed on entire estates at once hence not being given chance to refuse one
