    Been there once that I recall - friends from university came from up that way. Surely if you’re going for a takeaway in Middlesbrough you get a parmo?

    I live in one of the places that frequently gets in the top ten best places in the country to live. Not sure I’d agree, but then I’m a country boy at heart.

      yeah you do. But when you live there, you mix it up from time to time. The kebab , peppers and salami reminded me of hotshot parmos. Also the tandoori chicken as a topping.

      I guess none of that reflects on the place you live. Still, it’s fun to call out Boro and its lack of luster. You can probably corroborate with your friends what it’s like to live there, and when I was there, it was a shithole.

        My friends are very proud 'boro supporters who have season tickets etc. I doubt they’d agree with you but their judgement is questionable.

          Hey, I still support Boro … because you gotta take the trauma with you :P

          Nah, it’s because it’s the only thing I have any proper connection to in the league.

          You can still align yourself with a place you are/were connected to while acknowledging it sucks.
