GAFDOZ The final two Proton Rangers:Rukbat and Sir Gannymede

[Lowtardog]

Mackem is a name Geordies call people form Sunderland it refers to the ship building industry where Ship yerd workers on Tyneside would say about Wearsiders that the Geordies would "take" the ship to be fitted out that the Mackems "made", hence "mackem and tackem" ("make them" and "take them").

It is an insult. BTW Geoff says you aren`t a real Mackem Captain, is that right?

That is correct,I had to move to Sunderland due to circumstances beyond my control, I was originally from South Tyneside and I was born in Newcastle.

I never travel into town(City),I prefer Newcastle,its much more.......... cosmopolitan.  

All is forgiven then, you are a Gordie in exile much like myself  

[Captain Gamma]

Great stuff, are they going be available at Hammerhead ?

I'm afraid they won't be available at Hammerhead. I expect to take delivery of them this week,then it's off to the casters.

[Captain Gamma]

You realise I'm going to have to put a litter tray on Rukbat's base  ::

But what do we do if he doesn't use it?  I wouldn't want to try and Shoosh him outside. Dirty beasts.

[Ray Earle]

Are you attending Hammerhead then Capt. Gamma?

[Captain Gamma]

Alas no I won't be attending Hammerhead.
