Bob says: a day when we returned to civilisation with a bang! Jean went off early for some retail therapy whilst I had some work to do pre a conference call in Whitby on Monday. I joined her later and after a short wander about we went to The Gate entertainment complex in the city centre. Nandos, Pizza Hut, Ninos, McDonalds, Orbit night club, you name the places where the cool dudes go, The Gate has it. It also has a multi screen cinema complex and since we couldn't agree which of Prometheus (my choice) and Five Year Engagement (Jean's) to see, we decided to go to both! I told Jean that Five Year Engagement would be rubbish and it was ...... actually, very good, very funny. Prometheus meanwhile was formulaic rubbish. The skipper was right again (damn it, says not so Admirable Bob in hushed tones).
Newcastle on a Saturday night was everything that the clichés and stereotypes say about it. Wall to wall hen parties, police cars playing at Miami Vice and guys in sleeveless T shirts and tattoos.
Whitby tomorrow, so fish and chips and poss England vs Italy if I can get to a pub in time.
Jean will be posting some piccies she took
