  1. It's been a couple of weeks, but this story has my favourite intro ever, and the pics need to be seen to be believed: bit.ly/J866mU
  2. @Pippa87 newsdesk phones are busy things - worth trying again before tweeting that it's unmanned, especially since you want a byline ;)
  3. @Pippa87 Thanks. Not sure why you tweeted no answer from newsdesk tho? It's been staffed all evening - busy, but always worth trying again.
  4. @Pippa87 We have story @eveningchron - be good to add witness quote from u. Can u DM me ur mob? Or ring desk 201 6446 - you will get thru.
  5. @simonbirdmirror yes, you're in. If you download it from the itunes store, when it prompts you to sign in use your login. DM me if problem
  6. @simonbirdmirror you can get it here: bit.ly/L3oWf2
  7. ... and our new Journal Anytime subscription service from @TheJournalNews: bit.ly/JGiBst
  8. Phew, busy two days after week off! Here's some cool stuff: our NUFC end of season survey from @eveningchron: bit.ly/KpY1gz
  9. New Journal website live and looking good: journallive.co.uk
  10. North East site relaunch #3 of #4 just about to kick in...
  11. In what way is a Scottish casserole street food? IN NO WAY. Stupid #Apprentice fools.
  12. This is gorgeous from @xxnapoleonsolo and the team: RT @LivEchonews: Watch our love letter to the #seaodyssey giants bit.ly/I7O1V9
  13. @PumphreysCoffee no but I will after your blaydon staff were so lovely recently to my little boy - even gave him a free biccie! Was great.
  14. @Rogan_JRo the fishfinger sarnie was a triumph, and a snip at £1.69. But curried fishfingers. THERE'S the future.
  15. @Rogan_JRo In other news, you can now get things like curry and fishfinger sandwiches at the ncj cafe. Fancy that team meeting now? ;-)
  16. @Rogan_JRo I know. There is literally nothing to love about the M1. At least the M62 - which I traversed yesterday - has interesting scenery
  17. @profanityswan you are. Admit it. YOU ARE.
  18. @kushush haha! :-)
