(26 Jul 2014, 6:20 pm)aureolin haha yeah, but it could have been worse. Think Tuxedo Princess! Smile

I noticed that innfusion has reopened too, dropping the 'inn' from it's name. It could have happened a while ago, but I rarely go to Sunderland these days. It's another one that used to always be a cracking bar. £2.50 for a treble+mixer.

I'm down the town tonight, if i go past i'll update in the morning.

According to Arizona's facebook page, they hoping to re-open on Monday.

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

(26 Jul 2014, 6:22 pm)Andreos Constantopolous That thing stunk of 'pineapple cubes'.

The revolving dance floor was always a challenge to get off after one too many.

Haha yes. The stench of vomit as you walked down the narrow corridor to the main arena.

Remember the revolving dance floor in the Palace nightclub?

Cant remember the Palace at all. Where was that at?

Saw Phats and Small at whatever the nightclub was called in Birtley (changed its name regularly and is now a gym). A few mates went to see The Vengaboys when they appeared there - I made sure I was elsewhere that night.

Apart from that, all my nights out were usually in decent places.

I am told that Sunderland Council has not yet contacted Go North East with information regarding the closure of Wearmouth Bridge on August 17th - I'd imagine the same applies to Stagecoach North East too.

I aspire that, since they've been informed by yours truly, they'll contact the council for specific details at some point today and hopefully get the information on the website ASAP.

Its ashame we couldn't kick the council out into a disused building in the city, and then knock down the tatty civic centre, and their could of build the new college on the area of civic centre, knock down the crappy civic centre car park and build a big new multi storey over the metro railway line area. then the holmside area should be become a new indoor shopping centre.

The old Primark is free, they should move in to there.

Only problem building over the metro lines, its gonna be a nightmare, not like i use the metro, as i think its shit.

The whole of Holmeside needs sorting, once those buildings are down (near the bingo) and cleared work can hopefully start on the new college.

As for the square on the VAUX site... they need to hurry up and finish it, the whole area is a nightmare.

The new road near the Londenderry is coming on great, it wont be long before the cars start using it to enter/exit? the carpark.

From the Sunderland echo


WEARMOUTH Bridge will be closed to drivers over six nights to allow it to be resurfaced.

The route will be shut on Sunday, August 17, and the following five nights as Sunderland City Council re-surface and remodel of its southern roundabout that sees nearly a million vehicles pass through it every year.

Diversions are being put in place from 6am on Sunday, August 17, with the roundabout and Wearmouth Bridge reopening to vehicles from 6am on the Monday.

Limited bus services can cross the bridge in both directions during the peak service time of the 24-hour closure on August 17.

Buses will be allowed though the roadworks from 6am to 7.30pm on the Sunday and access remains throughout for the emergency services, pedestrians and cyclists.

The southern roundabout and bridge are to be closed to all vehicles overnight from 7.30pm on Monday, August 18, until 6am on Tuesday, August 19.

The same overnight closure times apply on the Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

No buses will be able to use the bridge on the overnight closures.
