it is posts like this that keep me going back to the match and make me love Su.derland, well done mate and I hope we f***ing hammer Wolves for you and ya ma.

Thanks mate , I hope so too - I haven't lived in Sunderland since I was a baby really , but I'm still immensely proud that it's the town of my birth. My folks moved down from Berwick in about 1967 because my Dad got a job at Vauxies , glad I got the chance to take him to see a game at the SoL before he died , he used to take me down to the game from Berwick as often as he could afford to during my childhood - happy days.
 
There are loads of empty shops, what should we do? I know, lets build a £100m extention to the bridges and open up loads of new units :lol::lol:

Nah man, gan to America

Cameron
Conservative councils, he said in his speech, were cutting waste not front line services.

Contrast that, he pointed out, with Labour councils, who he accused of damaging services while leaving executive pay alone.

He pointed the finger at Sunderland Council too, highlighting trips councillors had taken to the United States.

He said the authority spent £25,000 making seven trips to Washington DC, for what the council described as "friendship agreement activities".

"Or what the rest of us call a party," he added.

:eek:
 
Love Sunderland me

my exact words today :-D

i have been out and about the past few days, taking in the sunshine and making the most of the place i very luckily live.

today i jogged along the river, round the harbour, along the seafront and out onto the pier and back before just sitting and taking everything in, people watching. it made me very proud of the things we have on our doorstep and are sadly normally too blind, or too ignorant to actually see and make the most of.
 
gay and bright has been ordered :cool:

was thinking, when looking at the pics on here, that id be snapping away and banging on about some of the land marks if it was in another country/place (on my hols).

Agree
The beach this morning was fantastic
Walked the full length and back with the dog (block yard to Whitburn)
Barefooted, feeling the sand beneath my feet :-D class

what this city needs is for its denizens to have a bit more civic pride.
 
All of my mams side of the family are from Leicestershire and come up to visit every 4/5 years or so.

The first thing they always want to do is go to the beach...they think it's beautiful.


I think we may take our coastline for granted when we live here....mams side of the family think it's unreal that we don't spend almost every day down there! :lol:

I drove through Whitley Bay (through seaton sluice etc) with a friend from West Yorkshire the other week. She couldn't believe how close I lived to a beach. I took it for granted. :neutral:

I agree, but could be said of most places in the uk now, I think some of the Sunderland based posters on here, should be involved in local politics too, they seem to have more pride and basic morals than a lot of the so called councillors in charge at present
