Some very durable hair product on display in this game, considering the heat involved.

Bad day at the office for South North in the Nationals. Fair play to Woodlands (Yorkshire) bowling attack and fielding were excellent.

And again pop pickers. What's your desert island record off this one? (appreciating that if you were on the radio, none of these might be a first pick)

Calling Gloria.....

Would always recommend watching the cricket with lads in their 80s. Helps with retirement planning. They will never,ever, tell you that they wish they'd worked longer. Time isn't the thing. Time is everything. As Miles Davis once said.

I am listening to this. Select your favourites pop pickers....

South North 2nds complete domination against Tynedale 2nds. Lovely day out. But the big news is the 1sts beating reigning champions Burnmoor at their place. Could, hopefully, be a first league title since 2022.

Christ. Grant Hanley is playing at a World Cup. Good lad but a World Cup? Really?

Seems to be a lack of putting your laces through it at this World Cup. Some of the finishing has been awful.

🗓️ Just TWO WEEKS to go until pre-season begins with the Jimmy Rowe Cup at Newcastle Benfield!

Me and my mate @iggypopbarker.bsky.social had a cracking time at the @heatonstan.bsky.social comedy night. Quality acts at a bargain price, as usual. "The scout hut of mirth". No way to talk about our clubhouse.

Did Tecaz fit out the ITV studio?

Sam Matterface is it? Oh bugger.

Got this at the charity shop the other day. Mint condition cost peanuts. Bargain. And a really good read. Would recommend.

"The League" well down in the pecking order. Readers far more interested to see how Shankhouse were getting on in the Blyth and District. And the Alliance too?!What? The Barca of pit Village football clubs. Marvellous.

Tasted better than it looks. Jerk dipping sauce was canny with chips. Would have done rice and peas but youngest isn't a fan. Went easy option.

Caribbean cookbook is out again. Jerk pork tonight, curry chicken in the fridge for tomorrow. Not a patch on that lad at Tynemouth Market but I have a go.

🎁 Father’s Day is one week today… If you’ve not got his present yet, why not get him the gift of the Stan! 21 home games at The Willow Park, just £155 for adults and only £90 if he’s an older gentleman (over 65)… Buy now: heatonstanfc.ktckts.com/package/hea2...

Never a truer word.

Bloody hell. Casualty is still on? The one with multiple life threatening injuries survives. And gets a fit lass. Go in with a sprained wrist,find out you've got the black death and your partner shags pigs or something. And then you die. Every episode.

Tremendous work

Back on. Mint.

Got Mavis on now....what a voice youtu.be/P---W5ZdLuo?...

Or in layperson terms, a dogs cock.

Tickles. Not titles. FFS.

Not usually a fan of the genre. But this album titles me pink. youtu.be/KBTWoZzZ8B8?...

Castle Eden 2nds put to the sword by South North 2nds today

The loneliness of the groundsman and his roller.

Trying to sort a complaint into DVLA after my Mam's license got revoked. Bit of an expert on their SLAs and KPIs now. Best Friday night ever.

Been to Cramlington today. Garden centre. Bargain plants for the garden. Corned beef pie in the cafe. Might not sound glamorous but has the definite advantage of not being the Metro Centre.

Stanini. Classic.

Not the ideal start for Durham to be fair.

And why does Paolo, this smooth looking Italian music maestro remind me of North Shields based ne'er do well @nickcubs.bsky.social ??? I need answers.....

This is excellent. Got it all going on. Would strongly recommend. If you like it funky.

Rain affected. Reduced overs. Got there later than usual but really cracking game. South North prevailed but Ashington are always worth a watch. We stay top. For now...

Weather looks like it's going to knacker today's cricket plans. South Northumberland vs. Ashington. Was probably the most enjoyable and entertaining game last season. Fingers crossed though.

I think this could be an uphill struggle for Lancashire. And now Moeen Ali is bowling. Tough ask for Lancs.

Then the judiciary, then the media....

He’s 🔙✍️ JJ Chrisp has signed for the Stan on a permanent basis! Read more: heatonstan.co.uk/jj-chrisp-re...

@iggypopbarker.bsky.social got round to watching Robin's Nest. Much more "carry on" than I remembered. Quite enjoyed it, given I hadn't watched it since the 70s. One or two gags definitely "of their time" though.

Repost from 4th August 2024.

✍️ We’re delighted to announce that young striker Michael Enwere has signed for the first team, after an impressive year with Heaton Stan Academy! Read more: heatonstan.co.uk/michael-enwe...

South North pretty much murdered Richmondshire CC in the nationals today. Even with Gary Pratt, the most famous of cricket subs playing. Rishi Sunak, Little Bily Hague, your boys took one hell of a beating. Lovely supporters though.

Just watched Creedence doing Heard It Through The Grapevine. Magic. See also the Gladys and the Pips version.

Anyway. I have moved on.

Wait. Is that Arsenal fan on SSN wearing a replica league winner's medal? Oh FFS.

Listening to that renowned PSG fan Kool Moe Dee.Go see the doctor...

Just found out my middle daughter is on a night out in town. At the Head of Steam. To see a turn. I used to go there to do that. Catch up pet.

Safe to say that the "wanting English teams to do well" principle is not being upheld where I am. Evidently that time has passed. Still. Never mind.

Bit of a resounding win for South North 2nds against Newcastle City 2nds today. Short game which was a shame given the weather.
