Denton Burn - fated enemies of the Byker Grovers.

I can only assume you're a Byker Grover then!

hey monkey trousers! i'm from ashington ( about 25 mins north) how you doing?

Ashington...isn't that where Jackie Charlton's from??

Doing very well thanks Wowy. What's your set up up there?

Not doing very well here, am I?

I'm stockton

evesmama I'm originally from middlesbrough were you wanting to move to('at the moment')

No wayyyy?

So that would be the North East of England then?

I grew up in Aberdeen and always thought I was from the North East until I moved down here.

Aberdeen! Pffft!

Hey Spidermama, you gonna be watching 'Actors' this week? I'm expecting some really cringe inducing moments as the memories flash back!

Still haven't gotten round to making those baked beans yet

Going to a bit of a stary party tonight, though only for an hour as baby coming with us. Am preparing to be pitied!

Big time!!

Good luck at party. I took my 14 day old to the starriest party in the world and needless to say she ruined it.

It was a Corrie leaving party and the Beckhams were there and everything. It was in a hotel and I was staying in a room upstairs. The longest I got to stay downstairs was about 15 minutes.

I'll never see the like again. [sigh!]

ooh stary party sounds very glam....the parties I go to nowadays are toddlers and is it just me or are there alot of childrens parties in summer.

Have a lovely time at the party!

I remember at drama school monkeytrousers .... 'Be the wind. Free yourselves! I don't mean something blowing in the wind, I want you to BE the very wind itself. In front of everyone. All your friends. Yes'.

Yes, someone I know had 'be a vagina'

He was a bloke..

Ah! The ritual humiliation that is drama school.

Oh, thanks by the way!

I'm quite looking forward to it, not for the meeting people (I always put my foot in it when I'm nervous!) but for the fact that I'm wearing a skirt. There'll be gasps! (probably at my shapeless ankles but there you go.)

yup. ashingtons where the charltons come from. i dont come on here very often, no time now. i have an eight month son, he's called nye. i'm 26 and have been married to a postie for a year and a half.

Hey Wowy,

How you doing? I am 35 and have a nine month old called William. Not married but living with Steve and going back to uni in september after taking a year off. Re-training to do..I don't really know yet but was an actor before so anything would be better!

Did you get to any of the Newcastle meet ups earlier on in the year?

Evesmama - where abouts in Middlesbrough? I'm from redcar originally.

Used to work in the Boro.
