Good things from Sunderland

[Ex Footy Legs]

I'm sure this week the Mackems board will have plenty of nasty comments about us, but in an effort to rise above it, what good things do you associate with Sunderland ?

For me:-

Lauren Laverne
Bryan Ferry
Frankie & The Heartstrings
Pop Recs
Grant Leadbitter (I know he's from Chester-Le-Street, but he's a Sunderland fan)
James Bowlam
I also don't mind George Clarke off the telly too

Any more ?

Normally get 3 points from Sunderland

A 'friend' suggested Kit & Kat Lee? (I would advise against searching them on a work device )

The Peacock pub and The Independent. Good music venues.

Katie Adies cousin used to be my boss a good few years ago - and he was an absolute c*nt. Kind of a leveller for me

 

[Capybara]

My sister-in-law.

Air Show was the only decent thing before they canned it.

 

[Fattyfoggon]

Andy Dawson from Athletico Mince seems a decent lad

We used to go to Crowtree Leisure Centre when I was younger. I think that was in Sunderland.

I was once taken swimming at the Crowtree Leisure centre. I got ducked by a bigger boy and someone had done a Todd in the diving pool. One Star.

 

[The Ruthsayer]

Not from Sunderland, but I did meet Mrs Ruthsayer there.

 

[The Card Cheat]

Blue drink.

Double Maxim

I’ll never understand the love for this beer! And I’m not just saying it cos its a Mackem thing. Horses for courses though.

Do they still do cheesy chips for a quid?

Norseman Lager.

Fuelled many a walk between Hotshots and The Arena back in the early to mid 90's. The thinking mans alternative to Skol or Fosters in my opinion.

I'll have to thank Norseman Lager for making me try Double Maxim in the 1970's.

Samson with a nice creamy head was a lovely pint in my local once over.

Vaux was a dreadful brewer.
Not because it was from Sunderland.
They just didn't brew anything good.
