We’ve added a few more places where you won’t be frustrated by prompts to sell your children’s organs for online access.

There’s bound to be plenty more out there, so be a good citizen by sharing your favourites with us.

16:40 - Newcastle pull one back. Will it be enough? Leaving the very sketchy wi-fi behind and switching back to Twitter.

16:25 - Hull are leading 2-0. Oh dear.

16:03 - The majority of fans boycotted the half time refreshments and the chanting continues. Can the fans keep up this pressure match after match, until the management changes?

15:54 - Glorious sunshine in Newcastle, everywhere but Saint James Park; Hull are winning 1-0. Can’t see everything remaining sweetness and light if Hull win this game.

15:34 - Well, an hour and a half later, we now know where BT Openzone doesn’t work in Newcastle. Hopefully you’ve followed the afternoon’s events on our Twitter feed.

There are still several hundred supporters outside the ground. Most the protesting has been loud but peaceful. Only a handful of hardcore fans gave the police any concern.

Few, if any fans seem to have boycotted the game. The first half is over; it’ll be interesting to see how the protests play out after the match.

13:49 - Trouble already on Leazes Park Road; police officers are questioning a man selling “Ashley not so Wise” t-shirts.

13:35 - We’re at Monument; the only protest is by those bloody pan pipe musicians. They’d like to see the “Cuban 5″ released, apparently. And so would we, if it meant less risk of hearing loss. Plenty of people about, a few police officers scattered amongst the crowds of shoppers.

The clean and friendly streets of the city centre have been held hostage to the shoot of the highly esteemed Bollywood production Kaun Bola, featuring Bollywood legend, Arshad Wasi.

But as filming in our city comes to an end next week, we think it’s worth taking a look back at what attracted the average film maker of the 20th Century to venture north for the sake of cinema.

Stormy Monday (1988) Directed by Mike Figgis
Never again we’d imagine, will this fine city play host to the star studded presence of Hollywood A/B-listers Tommy Lee Jones and Melanie Griffith.

What were they doing here, you ask? Well, chuck in Sean Bean, Sting, 1980s Tyneside infrastructure and a helping of violent crime and you’ve got yourself a northern English movie. Again, crime and the roughly thrown together organisation of it, as well as gangsters, prostitutes and overall corruption are the pivotal themes at play.

Never an industry to eschew the unrelenting force of the US Dollar, Stormy Monday was urged to cast the American stars in exchange for a helping of cash (in contrast to the modest Channel 4 budget it was working with previously) which would secure the success of the film both in Britain and overseas.

Funny then that the film’s principal story line should work around the idea of wealthy and American investors arriving in Newcastle to kindly offer their financial services on a regeneration project, wanting nothing more than domination and unyielding power in return.

Thanks America, what would we do without you?

Get Carter (1971) Directed by Mike Hodges
London-dwelling gangster, Jack Carter returns to the sketchy northern streets of his youth to attend the funeral of his brother.

Suspecting foul play, he risks life and limb at avenging the suspected murder of his long gone sibling, culminating in a scene that we know all too well, involving that legendary, multi-story car park and the late Brian Mosley being flung to his demise.

Being one of the most iconic and renowned works of cinema to have been filmed in the region, Get Carter is still viewed in cult status, as is the famously clunky, concrete tower that is worshipped by film boffins, Michael Caine fanatics and copious amounts of pigeon shit; yet despised by most po-faced town planners and anyone over the age of 65.

The bleak and run-down streets of Newcastle were perfect however, some say, at capturing the depressingly derelict and cash poor atmosphere of the North and lest we forget the constant need for culture to remind us of that on-going north-south divide.

Though a tale of an angry brother who seeks to employ violent tactics in order to roll out a bit of rough justice for the sake of a fraternal bond? Sounds like the bare bones of many an Eastender’s storyline perhaps.

Purely Belter (2000) Directed by Mark Herman
No gangsters, Americans or southern influences here, but if you thought you’d happened upon a non-violent, cinematic Geordie creation, you’re a fool.

Here we have local actors Chris Beattie and Greg McLane as a couple of football obsessed teenagers at the heart of a Newcastle United season ticket acquisition journey. Cue get rich-quick schemes and good old fashioned tomfoolery.

Sounds like a delightful, Jim Carrey-inspired cat and mouse tale doesn’t it? Well not quite. Aside from the theft of kind-hearted football ace, and man of the people, Alan Shearer’s car, the story deals with the harsh realities of domestic violence and child abuse as a sub-plot.

Goal (2005) Directed by Danny Cannon
Mexico meets Monument with a brief stop-off in the United States in this FIFA approved football flick.

When a young and talented football fan shuffles his way across the US border from Mexico with his down-trodden family, he begins to pave the way for a new life as an illegal immigrant in the Land of opportunity.

That is until an ex-footballer/talent scout glimpses a bit of potential in the young lad’s keepy-uppy technique and whisks him off to northern England for Newcastle United try outs.

Santi, the young Mexican with promising skill, has not only got a bare-faced, negative minded thief for a father, but a list of obstacles as long as Keegan’s period of resignation that may keep him from reaching his life long ambition.

But in a Billy Elliot-inspired finale, all’s well that ends well so we can safely assume that not everyone in Geordie cinema meets a disappointing or gruesome end, providing of course that they’re from a different part of the world.

So just in case anyone was daft enough to think us northerners have a bit of fun amidst dodging violent crimes, standing in the dole queue and letting financially advantageous southerners chip away at our hardened spirit, cinematic history thus far is here to nip that in the bud, cos nowt good ever happens up north, well, at least not to the northerners.

We’ll have to see what becomes of Arshad Wasi and the Bollywood gang for an insight into what the future holds for Newcastle’s place on the Silver Screen.

And when there’s a free bar promised, Newcastle will not disappoint; expect freeloaders aplenty and as much cleavage as is considered legal.

And so the latest bar from Vibrant Ventures was born tonight. Baby Lynch joined the growing roster of well-to-do establishments for beautiful people that includes Jesmond’s Mr Lynch and As You Like It, Nancy’s Bordello on the edge of Byker and Florita’s.

Anybody familiar with The Apartment will recognise what has happened here; in closing The Apartment to relaunch it as Florita’s, a third of the main bar has been sealed off to create Baby Lynch.

Except nobody told the builders the plan; at 6 o’clock tonight, just 60 minutes before the hour of free drinking began, tools and turmoil obscured the front door.

The paint hadn’t dried 45 minutes later, so the crowds were given half price vouchers for Florita’s next door, itself barely a month old. All part of the plan, it would seem; the promise of free hangovers had steered a couple of hundred people into a bar they may have otherwise ignored.

By quarter past seven tonight there was still no entry, just a very long queue stretching from the front door of Baby Lynch and turning the corner into the Bigg Market, spilling out into Collingwood Street and reducing traffic to one lane.

At this point, the newcastlecentric team went elsewhere; it’s all very well offering a free bar, but you’ve got to be able to drink from it. We returned an hour later, and naturally the free bar was over.

And what of the venue? If you’ve paid a visit to Florita’s or Mister Lynch, you already know what to expect; sumptuous fittings and a crowd that loves to be loved. You can’t help but feel that Baby Lynch is a cynical scheme to create a two-bar pub crawl rather than a venue in its own right - it may as well be another bar in Florita’s - and it’s a little too narrow to be comfortable when busy.

Of course, you’ll go there, you’ll drink and be merry; you’ll look good and you’ll feel special. Just remember though - never give a baby booze, especially on its christening.

With a gas guzzler you might be into the hundreds of pounds, but even an ickle car is costing the sharp end of fifty quid to fill. Rubbish.

While some of us are abandoning the motor to take the bus and Metro, others just can’t do without, especially when working elsewhere in the North East.

Using information made available through the Freedom of Information act, the site publishes hygiene assessments of restaurants and cafes conducted by local councils.

So how do restaurants in the city measure up to Newcastle City Council’s inspections? You can find your favourite lunchtime haunt or romantic table for two here, but we’ve dug out some of the best and the worst examples the city has to offer.

We’d better point out the obvious; since some of these assessments were carried out, there may have been a change in staff or management, and standards of hygiene are no reflection on whether the chef knows his onions. Or other vegetables, for that matter.

Five stars - excellent (based on Newcastle Food Hygiene Star Rating)

The Living Room, Grey Street
Eye on the Tyne, Broad Chare
Piccolino, Stockbridge
Zizzi, Grey Street
The Forth Hotel, Pink Lane

No stars - major improvement required

Utong, Saint James Boulevard
Thali, Dean Street
Saffron, Sandhill
Big Mussel, Side
The Spice Cube, The Gate
