I live in South Shields which is in the middle of Newcastle and Sunderland, right near the mouth of the river Tyne and there's a beach here. It's better than those wannabe North Eastern towns like Jarrow (jarra!) and Hebburn. Shields is based on the river Tyne with the North end on the other side, We should go to war with the north End and claim domination over them.

It's so bloody cold at the moment and at least the snow's gone.
