RONALDO set to join Newcastlegreenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread |
I had the pleasure today of accompyning my son to a school trip around St James' park . Half way through we were walking around the stadium when to my amazement I saw Mick Wadsworth. He was taliking (mainly with his hands) to a tall man in a suit and a younger man in a track suit, He was black, had bucked teeth and didn't seem to understand Wadsworth much

Call Ricardo`s Bluff, Buff, TALIKING, pronounced tar - lick -ing, In the balmy , warm summers of the 1940`s , due to the war foodstuffs were in short supply. Enterprising Geordie youngsters fed up with the staple diet of the day, would wait expectantly for a red hot day, they would then say to their Ma, "Just gannin tar-licking Mam" , she would reply, "Aye but watch the road hinny, that`s a daft bugar of a man on yon Coop- milk float, he`ll run yer ower. Little Geordie and his gang would gather up in their sticky hands melted pitch from the road, knead it , tek a bit off and chew contentedly for the rest of the day. "To Eat Bitumen", True or False.ITALICS, HOW THE HELL DO I GET RID - THIS IS A FIRST FOR BUFF

Ahhh Buff, you are one for bringing the memories back. We never called it "taliking", but I remember doing it. (Note to self: Must spell check before I post, lest I become the subject of Buff's next story.

Did not seem to understand Wadsworth !!! A guy just wants a game of football and he is confronted by this barmpot chuntering on about daffodils, and you Rik ask me to relieve you ? "Say No More, Fudge and Blink. BTW, Where is the Minnesota Magician when you need him? and Dan , like it LOL (trendy Buff) - blame Kegsy for these italics

Rik - I'd have believed you if you'd said you saw him larking about at Newcastle Airport.

This must be taken with a large pinch of salt until such time as he is definitively sighted in a Low Fell Chippie. I notice that Swift's taxi driver remains ominously silent - so maybe it is true. ;-)

You were able to see his teeth (nay the whites of his eyes) but you could say for certain whether it was Ronaldo or not??? This is obviously Mick trying his spanish again and wondering why?

a column in the Sunday Express also mentioned that we could make a move for Ronaldo on loan.Can't see it though

Ah, I wondered who that was sitting next to Nobby last night and hiding under a wooly hat!

Steph, It could have been the same bloke, The one I saw had a Nike Wooly hat, I think we're onto something. I'm shooting off to the Gosforth park hotel to see if they've anything to reveal.

Bobby in the Ronnie, we've failed to get Keane!When I asked Robson if United had mentioned Ronaldo in their conversation with Inter Milan, he replied: "There is no point at the moment because he is still injured.
"But I know for a fact that he would love to come here and play for me to try and get match-fit."

Was just reading the same thing on Sporting Life. Bobby says they drew up a list of players and started working through it last weekend, but so far have had no luck.
