I know the English invented the language and all, but the only thing I understood in this sentence was the Frankie Says t-shirt.
"The Great North Run" = 13 mile half marathon from Newcastle to Gateshead.

Flat Cap = A flat cap is a rounded cap with a small stiff brim in front, originating in the British Isles. Think Peaky Blinders etc.

A Tab = Northern English slang for a cigarette.

Pot Noodle = Instant noodles (many flavours) just add hot water.

"Frankie Says" - Relax.
Thank you for the translation! Sounds like an interesting chap.
I wonder how often we write sentences the English posters don't understand to that level of thoroughness.
*edit* excluding when Flex and I talk skiing/snowboarding.
Of course they do. They admire us and seek to emulate us in every way. :shifty:
Seems only natural...

Depends which albums you're considering. Or that godawful "World in Motion"—give me American imperialism over that any day.

Just watching "The Great North Run" and spotted a lad in a flat cap, wearing a "Frankie Says Relax" t shirt. He was smoking a tab and carrying a pot noodle.
Guilty as charged but you never mentioned my whippet.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Newcastle to Newcastle yesterday. But usually Newcastle to glorious South Shields. Apparently it's reverting back to normal next year.

That poor dog was dragging behind you. You've been feeding it too many pot noodles.

Yes indeed. My auntie lives in Blackhall Mill and one of my relatives was doing the run.

Because I commented in a post that Lydon didn't look like a fat fuck like his buddy Trump anymore.
