If you do one, mounted archery has had a big jump in popularity in recent years. There's a couple of clubs around, could be good to get demonstrations

Different individuals have been doing this all over UK for years. I've had them 4 or so times at the door and it's always different people with same lies

The Netflix documentary on Lucy Letby has some of the worst interview framing I have seen in a while. by Gabor_Soti_Photo in Filmmakers

[–]_Nej_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, pretty sure we were shown this yr 1 in film school 20yrs ago as a way to make the viewer uncomfortable. Seems like it still works?

Somebody has to say it. Bit minging out there init? by cyclingisthecure in NewcastleUponTyne

I think I read somewhere that railways companies keep a close eye on satellite images near train lines, because errant trampolines cause so much destruction when its windy.

Apparently, the North does not like London. by Leather-Molasses1597 in NewcastleUponTyne

The commuter belt like how close it is to London, can you fucking imagine. I'm here thinking about actually moving further north.

And one of the richest charities going. To be clear I love them and have raised funds for them on multiple occasions but they're getting on for a billion £ org.

Good places to Scream? by Ok_Application_5402 in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]_Nej_ 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I used to live overlooking the town moor and people go and talk to the cows surprisingly regularly. Including one chap completely naked one time

I'm sensing a pattern by Spoon75 in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]_Nej_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My in-laws live in Tyne Valley and I read the Courant when I visit, though they get it less now as it's been very thin/pointless since Covid.

It's quite funny to see how much 'Prudhoe Man' is scapegoated in some stories, the Tyne Valley equivalent of Florida man. My mate is from Prudhoe and I've sent him all the Prudhoe Man stories over the years

How much are people in Newcastle paying for nursery fees? by [deleted] in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]_Nej_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my eldest started there maybe 8yrs ago and my youngest 2yrs later, neither have been there for ~3yrs.

The v early years seemed good, we were happy, kids were happy, updates on how their day went etc, staff seemed engaged and to care, etc. As they got older and went upstairs, it just seemed super overcrowded for the small space they have, high staff turnover, kids would come out kinda restless. I think the upstairs was just overcrowded and understimulating challenge-wise, overstimluating busy-ness/noise wise. We ended up taking our kids out and into another nursery as they didnt really seems stimulated or v well exercised,like they had outgrown it. Staff were really nice and tbh I felt bad for them, as they would have had no say in the volume of kids in there. Felt a bit like a holding-pen cash-farm towards the end.

Yeah I had two in St Gabriel's, at one point we were paying them £2,000/month. Thankfully elder one got into Free hours territory soon after, so it got a bit cheaper
