They are nice lads and it's certainly been well received. I think the hardest thing for them was deciding what to cut out.Mate of mine made that video. He worked hard on it for months. I hope he gets more opportunities off the back of it.
Just had a chance to watch it and I take back my initial comment about 'we are makers' - it actually fits perfectly.Latest video to show to the City of Culture judges. It even captures me smiling.
I’m a proud Mackem, ‘Wearsider’ Is for DunelmiansI'm a Wearsider, f***ing hate the word "Mackem".

That'll be a massive shock seeing as they aren't on the shortlist.I really think the city of culture team have done a great job and even if we don't win it the profile of the city has been increased. I was told last night that if Stirling win it then it would also be good news as a percentage of the cash is English money and must remain in England.
Shame it wasn't yay!I think the hardest thing for them was deciding what to cut out.
As you say, you are no psychiatrist.I'm no psychiatrist but that video screams "victim mentality" to me.
Well said.Just had a chance to watch it and I take back my initial comment about 'we are makers' - it actually fits perfectly.
For anyone proud (Or wanting to be proud) of living in or near this city that video is a work of art and will make you feel proud.
Couple of my pals on there as well, the fuckers kept that quiet!!!
As you say, you are no psychiatrist.
It is a draft, but it is really good, for me.
Well said.
Sunderland is the city that designed and built the Liberty ships that saved our Atlantic convoys in WW2 of COURSE we are builders.
If that is what you take from it I think it says more about your outlook than the video. It's about looking forward, not backwards. It's the very opposite of being defeatist and being a City of Culture bid, it focuses on the cultural things we make.It takes nearly five minutes to tell us that the town used to be a great manufacturing centre but is now essentially fucked (except for Nissan) BUT "we still mak things like erm....a fashion business , something to do with designing things on computers and a couple of gadgies blowing glass in a little workshop" all delivered in a defeatist voice which tries to sound hopeful.
Mmmmm. Our impressions are different.It takes nearly five minutes to tell us that the town used to be a great manufacturing centre but is now essentially fucked (except for Nissan) BUT "we still mak things like erm....a fashion business , something to do with designing things on computers and a couple of gadgies blowing glass in a little workshop" all delivered in a defeatist voice which tries to sound hopeful.
Doesn't matter what was on the video. There will be a few posters who will never, ever see any good in it.If that is what you take from it I think it says more about your outlook than the video.

We have a proud history and we can be proud of our future.

Exactly mateDoesn't matter what was on the video. There will be a few posters who will never, ever see any good in it.
Shurrup len.How do you know what his outlook is?
You posted the video and he has commented, you don't like it so you have a dig. Do you honestly think everyone will love it.
Personally I like it I'm just flabbergasted at the amount of people who are quick to make things personal.
Surprised the mods are not on top of this.
