Any ways back on track, Newcastle opened my eyes, we chose the wildest bars we could find, pretty difficult as they were all pretty much wild. All had bouncers on the doors so a sign of a good place when I see that. Only saw a few punches thrown from some weedy types who couldn't do any damage to anyone if they tried, I found the place as good as I have heard and much better than Manchester or Liverpool

Has Newcastle not been on the map as a good place for a night out for decades? I'm 50s now and seem to recall 20+ years back people saying it was a good/great place for a night out?

You'll most likely be invited back to receive the key to the city, although the date & time will need to align with King Charles' schedule as I'd imagine he'll want to be there.

It's somewhere I have never been for a night out, heard lots about it but never been. So glad that I did as it was just an amazing night, made lots of new friends and the Geordies simply fell in love with me. I would imagine that King Charles would love to have me as his side kick in Newcastle. I could get him on double vodka and red bulls and give him the time of his life.

Has it still got that place (think it was on a boat, but it's all hazy), where the dance floor has a bit in the middle that revolves? Bit dodgy if you only put one foot on it. Saw someone once fall over, and curl up into a ball, and got rolled about the place knocking people over like skittles....

Double vodka and redbull all night. Was a blast.

Change the double vodka to 1 tequila, 1 vodka.

Was wild in the 80s too.

Went there recently with Mrs S and me Ma as part of a whistle stop tour of the NE.

Went to Alnwick, Cragside House, Rothbury, Seahouses, Durham, Newcastle, and dropped off to see the Angel of the North.

I will try that, I quite like tequila, sounds interesting.

This is going to sound terrible, but on our way back we stopped off at the Angel of the North to see it up close, I walked up that embankment towards it and threw up.

I was at Wetherspoons on the river in August.
No dancing as I was with two dogs and 2 teenagers, and Mrs Bod wasn't a dancer.

Yet I think that boat was there on the river..

OMG Newcastle.
