A life with Music

Having done a Desert Island blog and playlist I thought I would go one step further and chronicle each year of my life in songs from the age. These are songs that either remind me of that year or I listened to the most that year. Some were easy to pick. Others more difficult, either because I couldn't choose which song to represent the year as there were so many to choose from but sometimes because the year just wasn't really that memorable or I wasn't into music that much at that point in time.


Anyway, here's the list...

Nufc new stadium- stay or go?

I dont just want NUFC to have the best team in the world. Like our chairman I want us to be number one for everything. Best team, best stadium, best academy, best training ground. People might say I'm deluded but so what. Before I go into detail on my thoughts on whether NUFC should stay or move from St James’ I have to stress that my preference is to stay on the current site. And keep the name St James too. History and tradition is important and no club in the country has a ground in as good a location. A new stadium outside of the city is unthinkable.

I remember my first match versus Plymouth, 25k there and it was amazing. I was hooked. As one of the 10...

There was a set route that we would  follow starting in the Half Moon in Ryton village before heading along to Crawcrook where we would catch last orders in the Lambs Arms. We took up this route again a few years later when we had all moved back from University. The Half Moon 7 o clock every Friday this was the meeting point. There are (were?) three main rooms to the Half moon, a bar for "older" folk, a pool room and a bar for younger folk. (When we used to meet up we were still classed as younger folk but not anymore), we  had never arranged anything by phone or text (no such thing) it was a case of just turning up at 7 and finding out who was out that night, there was always someone you would know there if the usual group wasn't out. I can't remember th...
