We are now in the beautiful Calabrian fishing town of Scilla, just across the Strait from Sicily.
Named after the sea monster in Homer’s Odyssey, it has captivated visitors for over two thousand years, from Virgil and Ovid to Goethe, Edward Lear, Charles Didier and Norman Douglas.
It’s not difficult to see why.
We're not saying we're the most unique and best store in Newcastle...
But where else are you going to see an old school NUFC supporters tartan kilt in a shop window?
The height of fashion in the 70s and 80s. Is it due a revival?
The Back Page - a treasure trove of memories⚫️⚪️
First full day of my holiday in Catania.
Seven hours of legal work, conference calls, and more media enquiries than I had planned for a holiday. But there was still time to wander this beautiful city, take a few photographs, and enjoy a cheeky Godfather and bruschette at “The Glory Hole” on Via Gemmellaro before dinner.
Life is sweet.
Calling all Geordies down under 🇦🇺
Our friends at NUFC Sydney are hosting a get together on Sunday 16 August, and helping to fundraise for our Kevin Keegan display.

The majority may not know about today because it will be washed out by mainstream media but for millions of people like me who are disabled President George H.W. Bush signed The Americans With Disabilities Act 35 years ago improving the lives of millions like me. ♿️
A big thanks to our Liverpool pal @billykirk22 for sending us the souvenir tribute paper by the Echo.
It sits with the 'Ronnie Gill' in our window tribute to King Kev 🖤🤍❤️
@HallDavidM It’s Anthropic - a different platform from Open Ai. In many respects I think it’s better, possibly the best, though I use ChatGPT more for everyday stuff, in part as it knows me so well now.
Using AI: a few important tips
I increasingly use AI (mainly ChatGPT and Claude, sometimes Gemini) for all sorts of things: recipes, travel itineraries, technical questions, creative work and even some legal tasks.
I find it both enormously useful at times and dangerously unreliable at others. The main risks are hallucinations and a tendency to agree with, flatter or validate the user’s assumptions rather than challenge them.
Here is a simple approach that has helped me:
1. Use whichever AI model you prefer.
2. For anything important, ask a second model to criticise the first answer or identify its weakest assumptions.
3. Then check the primary source yourself whenever it matters.
Point 3 is by far the most important.
@geordiejosh@NUFC7890 Agreed, but there is not much point in having incredible skill if you don't apply it. I always questioned Gordon's character, from Everton days and then brushing off Howe when he was subbed just after he was bought by us.
@NUFC7890 Anthony Gordon got a 70 million pound move to Barcelona, had the World Cup of his life being one of England’s most promising players and scored in a semi-final whilst Harvey Barnes was making a day in the life on tiktok
Genuinely just stopped for a minute in disbelief that there was a strong, relentless debate that Harvey Barnes was better than Anthony Gordon. What did last season do to people Christ
One of the pleasures of doing international sports cases is occasionally finding yourself leaving a hearing and walking straight into one of the world’s great landmarks.

Champagne & shrimp cocktail. Last May at Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab, Chicago.
I’d just received some very good work news, so I decided that evening wasn’t going to be a dry one after all.
Every now and then, it’s worth celebrating.
